"The calling of the chasm echoes in one song in particular, simply titled 'Envelope' by its enlightened progenitors. This song sends me to places before the embryo, to a world ere earthly apoplexy, ere the push and pull of the class polemic. We listen and regress to prenatal beatitude."
Gilles Deleuze 'making it in the schizoanalysis: an anti-oedipal freudian slip?'
"the generational exodus to japan from the west is clearly symptomatic of a cultural ennui. The album grasps the zeitgeist in its muscular hands; it will not let go"
Terry Eagleton, 'Japan and the post-depressive musics of le servo de spock'
lyrics
take a look at the big blue sky
walking out by the hedge
take a look at the happy guy
such a sunshine on legs
i wanna put it in the envelope (repeated)
take a look at the japanese
and their sushi and sake
take a look at their older folk
how they honour the envelope
[chorus]
i don't care about envelopes
i have a schizotypal personality
it makes me anxious in social situations
i wanna hide in an envelope
i wanna hide in an envelope
i wanna hide in the envelope
etc...
