HW: everything there is to know

[David Jones]

Some thoughts I hope its not too long a post - great idea for a project.

>
> *Doremi Fasol Latido*

The title is a play on the tonic solfa of course as in doh a dear etc

>
> *Hall of the Mountain Grill*

Title I imagine also refers to Hall of the Mountain King which I only know
as a piece of music by Grieg but I imagine is a Nordic legend

> *Space Ritual*

Orgone Accumulator

THis is also the subject of the Kate Bush song Cloudbustin.
If anyone is interested in Reich Id recommend Colin Wilsons biography
although its a very long time since I read it.


>
> *Warrior on the Edge of Time*
>
> Assault and Battery - the lines "Lives of great men... sands of time" are
> taken from a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

If I understand my Oxford book of quotations properly a poem called
Resignation

>
> *Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music*
Title and style of the sleeve advert designs and I think a lot of the
subject matter of the songs refers to the American science fiction
magazines Astounding and Amazing (Im not sure these are the full titles)

>
> Reefer Madness - title taken from circa 1940's anti-marijuana propaganda film
Louis Gasnier 1936 "One of the most absurdly earnest exercises in paranoia
youll ever have the good fortune to see" - the Time Out Film Guide

>
> *Quark, Strangeness and Charm*
>

Spirit of the Age - as well as opening with some morse code also contains a
radio call signal (the snatch of music at the beginning) I think it may be
radio Albania but hopefully someone will know better than me.

> Damnation Alley
Dont you think the structure of naming American towns parodies the classic
American road song like Route 66 or Promised Land.



> Quark, Strangeness and Charm
The six flavours of quark are Up, Down, Strange, Charm, Bottom and Top
Each flavour comes in three colours
Sorry if this is no longer correct its a very long time since I did my
degree.

> *Choose Your Masques*

>>From his book Centigrade whatever it is which is the same thing.

THe Outer LImits theme is on this LP somewhere isnt it (Void City?)

>
>
> *Church of Hawkwind*

Doesnt THe Church feature a sample of a muzzein (SP) calling people to prayer or
am I imagining it ?

The other things I have here are;

Elements - namechecks the Electric COol Aid Acid Test a book by TOm Wolfe.

Psychosonia : all the Tee aitch ee why stuff spells out "They are trying to
rob us of our right to communicate".

Now to stop my personal sleepless nights where does the sample "I have come
but I do not choose now to do what I came to do " come from ?

Thanks
