THE GADDAFI MEMOIRS Captain Xanadu and His Orbiting Orchestrions
Captain Xanadu And His Orbiting Orchestrions return with their boldest concept yet: a space-age lounge odyssey through the life of Muammar Gaddafi. From a Bedouin tent in the Libyan sands to a UN podium, from a solid green flag to a solid gone empire, this is history refracted through vibraphone, theremin, and Martin Denny-tinged mambo. Ten tracks trace the rise, the ideology, the excess, and the fall of one of the twentieth century's strangest revolutionaries, with wit, wordplay, and just enough reverb to make a dictator's downfall sound like last call at the world's most dangerous tiki bar. Equal parts history lesson and hi-fi fever dream, "The Gaddafi Memoirs" is exotica for the geopolitically curious.
