The United States of America. They made only one album, back in 1968, but they produced the sexiest and most electrifying sounds I've ever heard on record:
"Where Is Yesterday?" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7gBAFCy2Dw&feature=related
"Coming Down" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jwi78dYK2o&NR=1 These are great, but "Hard Coming Love" and "Love Song for the Dead Ché" are the real killers. Long live Dorothy Moskowitz.

M'Pal, that video does indeed include a timeless tune. I couldn't imagine a better song to go along with those images.
The process is reversing itself!

I've only ever read the occasional comment regarding "The United States of America" til now, Tim. (I think they may even be listed in my Great Encyclopedia of Rock, which I'd have to dig up...)

Glad you liked the Morricone and Ifukube selections Rats! At the risk of getting schooled by better informed Ifukube fans on the Board, I'll venture to suggest that the Toho soundtracks were, in order; the MechaGodzilla theme and the G-Force March; both from 1993's 'Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla' (2); followed by Battra's theme from 'Godzilla vs Mothra' ('92).

My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening thru a cosmic vapor of invention.

On YouTube, there are some jaw-dropping videos of the Red Army Chorus and the Leningrad Cowboys doing very, very unlikely songs. Here they are doing Tom Jones' "Delilah": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhIMEMDYxZE&feature=related They also do "Sweet Home Alabama" and the Turtles' "Happy Together." There's a version of the Russian classic "Kalinka," too. Very werid stuff, partly because it's very GOOD stuff.

The Frozen Logger (James Stevens) As I sat down one evening within a small cafe, A forty year old waitress to me these words did say: "I see that you are a logger, and not just a common bum, 'Cause nobody but a logger stirs his coffee with his thumb. My lover was a logger, there's none like him today; If you'd pour whiskey on it he could eat a bale of hay He never shaved his whiskers from off of his horny hide; He'd just drive them in with a hammer and bite them off inside. My lover came to see me upon one freezing day; He held me in his fond embrace which broke three vertebrae. He kissed me when we parted, so hard that he broke my jaw; I could not speak to tell him he'd forgot his mackinaw. I saw my lover leaving, sauntering through the snow, Going gaily homeward at forty-eight below. The weather it tried to freeze him, it tried its level best; At a hundred degrees below zero, he buttoned up his vest. It froze clean through to China, it froze to the stars above; At a thousand degrees below zero, it froze my logger love. They tried in vain to thaw him, and would you believe me, sir They made him into axeblades, to chop the Douglas fir. And so I lost my lover, and to this cafe I come, And here I wait till someone stirs his coffee with his thumb."
