Reaching for Paradise. A dangerous wave breaks on a beautiful stretch of sand like a collapsing clock tower, engulfs your dozing, helpless body. Exhilaration & paranoia, desire & disillusionment. If Stockhausen and Kerouac blew the Berlin Wall, here it is... the seismic rumble of Sal Ferreras' percussion, JC's disso jazz piano & synth patches... and the blue-cool Beat rap of Olive Russell.

Culture Court mp3 preview: Brain Gun, by Paul Green, 2004. PG: vocals & words || Lawrence Russell: bass & electric guitars, synth, percussion || Bro. Paul: sax || recording: LR || techno-jazz poetry

Before there was rap, there was jazz poetry. From his cloister in west England, Brother Paul emerges jazzed & weaponized.

Brain Gun. Straight from the lab or the pop-art gallery this sonic autopsy lays down a little Left Bank jump daddy boogie. Bro. Paul reflects on the evolution of the brain within the eternal continuum. Eat metaphors, blend with light: Apply paranoia to Nature/ the Phantom attacks with Brain Gun....
