Btw, this is inspired but incorrectly interpreted from the original poem Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. This version is quite dramatic but has an element of psychotic premeditation absent from the source.

True, that's always bothered me about the so-called Oedipus Complex -- in the original work, the guy kills his father and marries his mother unknowingly, and then feels like crap when he finds out.  Common usage of the term has been applied to knowingly falling in love with your mother.  Understandable, but misleading.

Yes, that's the dialogue at the beginning of Regyptian Strut, the first track on Läther.

WOW...It is the one...Feel free to tell how you've found it!


It is rare on the net (a youtube link, now gone?, must have been my first hearing of it), but there's at least a link: won't psys and great poets as talented as Morrisson bow down to it...

I got it today!!!!!
I won't have a chance to listen until tomorrow.   Ruth's liner notes are fantastic.

Roxy By Proxy is great!!!!

Same, along with the last couple of albums that have been released over the past few months.

I just typed out a long paragraph only for an error in connection to this forum to wipe out everything I typed. Only this forum.... 

Short version: I liked Roxy By Proxy, but it seems like an alternate version of Roxy & Elsewhere, with different renditions, new dialogue. I expected more songs that weren't on R&E that were played on the late-73 tour. I'll admit, Inca Roads was cool, but I think I've heard better versions of that lounge version of the song before it became the One Size Fits All version. I also liked the 'drums-only' of Cheepnis; it sounds like a hip-hop track.

Anyone check out Joe's Camouflage? I'll probably get it sooner or later, and I expect it to be similar quality to Joe's Menage, but I haven't heard much about it online.
