Die Trip Computer Die - Flowerball (MP3s)

It is always hard to describe music which doesn't fall into any known genre, but let me try anyway: Die Trip Computer Die sounds like a bunch of space aliens on acid with a sampler and various old records and sound effects. One of the myriad offshoots of DIY punk band The Homosexuals, this trio of Lepke Buchwater, Xentos 'Fray' Bentos, and Ted Barrow, is one of my favorite bands no sane person has ever heard of. Their discography is quite messy, a wild mix of a few official releases and numerous mysterious CD-Rs and MP3s on various Internet sites. The album "Flowerball" is one of those unofficial releases, and the scant resources I found on the Internet indicate that it was originally a CD-R not on any label. Here are the MP3s, listen at your own risk:

01 System of the Tortured
02 Gestations
03 A Bad Idea
04 In Bed With 1000 Priests
05 Seductive Song of War
06 Messrs Smirkett & Bloat
07 Fink Drummer
08 Chief-Inspector Kickback
09 Contains Psychological
10 Goodbye Again
11 Every 'Why' Is A 'How'
12 The Naked Statue
13 Roll, Frankie Roll
14 A Short Film About Gas
15 Flowerball

By the way, this album has been played on WFMU a few times on Tony Coulter's show, most recently here.

A bit of a tangent, I know, but reading the name Fray Bentos reminds me of one of my favorite bits from the UK version of The Office, after Finchy and Brent lost a pubroom trivia game:

Finchy: OK. When we had the question, name the Cuban leader who's been in power since 1959...
Brent: Fidel Castro.
Finchy: You know it now. What did you say?
Brent: It's in that situation...
Finchy: Tell them. What did you say then? What did you say then? Go on. Who's the Cuban leader?
Brent: Fray Bentos.
