...joint project with Parliament-Funkadelic that never was. The song showcases underwater organ sounds and semi-soulful background vocals (Ivan Neville has a hand in both). These elements bear more than a passing resemblance to those employed by Primal Scream--with George Clinton of P-Funk fame--in "Funky Jam" on their latest album, "Give Out But Don't Give...

The band slowly broke the jam down into the cacophonous sirens and vacuum cleaner sounds of N2O." As the noise subsided, Anastasio began to narrate the story of Colonel Forbin, the protagonist of the "Gamehenge" saga that continued throughout the first...
