This guy is seriously weird, but also seriously imaginative. On both fronts, he reminds me of Ian Dury (& the Blockheads), who similarly made music with whatever came to hand, and paid little or no heed to existing standards of song structure, vocalizing, etc. However, Dury didn't lean on synthesizers and heavily applied filters, as Pants does. This single is actually an EP, with 2 songs on each side. It comes with a picture sleeve and is pressed with a large spindle hole, and spins at 33 ⅓ rpm (boo!). Note: The only single that has appeared on one of Pants' albums is "Clouds Over The Pacific." As far as I can determine, the other three — equally good in my opinion — are only available on this single. The other three tracks are: "Prologue To A Ritual," "Sitting On The Couch, Turning To Stone," and "The Way She Looks Tonight."
