Acronyms by Dan Wangerin
In loving memory of Alvaro Aguerre - a dear friend, musician, and bandmate - who sadly passed away during the making of this album. He will forever be missed.
This album is an equivalent to a quadruple-album [four records/eight sides]. Each song is named after an acronym, and the acronyms are in reverse order. The meanings of the acronyms are said through the use of reversed speech and backwards masking. Play the voices part forward, and it says nothing: just atonal gibberish. You have to play the voices parts backwards to understand it.
The Alien does not want to be identified.
