Eye Candy, Politics and WTF?

Dreamies. It's 1972, and affable salaryman and good husband Bill Holt quits his good job at 3M to become a musical pioneer from the comfort of his own basement. The resulting album, Dreamies, is notable for its generous and ahead-of-its-time use of sampling/plunderphonics and became a highly sought-after lost classic until its re-release this year. Bill now has his own website, also called Dreamies, where he releases Eye Candy and Politics in liberal doses. Some are hypnotic, some are, for want of a better term, 'relaxing', others are anything but. And all of them are subtly infused with the slightly unsettling taste of Huh?
who's that singing Strawberry Fields Forever?
I like the links under each of the, erm, Dreamies.
the Dreamies themselves are, uh, interesting!
more weed, please.

Makes me think of The Residents, but if you're reading this thread then I'm sure the same thought passed through your mind.

This is great. Another left of center creative sound organizing that fell through the musical history books.
