  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Chicago is also coincidentally home to a band called The Luck of Eden Hall who have impressed me greatly with their album 'Belladonna Marmalade' (a CD on Walrus Records, no address shown) which our man on the spot Bruce Pates kindly sent in. Their first 45 was on Limited Potential (as was fellow Chicagoans The Smashing Pumpkins's) and they followed it up with a collection called 'Under The Sea' - but 'Belladonna Marmalade' (which is where I came in) is the works alright; exotic guitar pieces, great songs, a dash of mysticism and a whole basketful of psychedelic nuances which all come to a head on 'Mariead' in particular, and which are reflected in the gloriously trippy sleeve-art. I'd go so far as to risk upsetting an awful lot of Terrascope readers by saying I could stomach hearing a lot more of The Luck of Eden Hall than I could the Pumpkins themselves, who I humbly consider sounded 'corporate' even before they became so; anyway the challenge has been thrown down for those of you who'd care to take it up. Just remember where you read of them first. -Phil McMullen, Terrascope

about

Words and Music by Curvey.

lyrics

Taking the train down to Timbuktu
I've got charms in my pocket and a one way ticket out of my mind
I find it hard to breath under the big top world
Of hand cuff Kings and their pretty little iron maidens
Belladonna marmalade
She knows your fate by the way that you're drinking your tea
Ethereal Queen a royal jelly dream
Inside a Taro parlor who was practiced in the art of deception
She was looking at Venus through a microscope
Now my head's in a hole
'Cause it's the only place for me left to hide
