Fifth album by this long-lived Swiss avant rock band.
"Just before a - the world would end, b – the Musikwerkstatt Basle would be torn down the Yolks decided in February 1999 to go there once again to do some recording. It happened to become the last of the legendary "Octopus" line-up takes. Shortly after Guitarist Willi Riechsteiner and permanent guest Stefan Hugi left the Yolks. The Yolks were particularly satisfied that the "Micro Pizzas" of the Guitar composer Leo Brouwer, which since long figured in the YOLKS repertoire, finally could be recorded in a satisfactory way. So the years went by, the world didn't end and with no money and a new cast the Yolks forgot about these takes, which seemed to rot away in the basement. Then a mad Italian (Raoul Caprio from the Kaliphonia Label) had the idea to nevertheless publish these songs, because in Italy the Octopus CD sold as good as red vine. And now, due to the excellent collaboration between Raoul Caprio and Markus Stauss, this CD has finally been produced. Yolk today plays with the line-up Beat Burkhard, bass, stick / Jaro Milko, guitar / Rémy Sträuli, drums, keyboards, vocals."
