Second studio album for the Massacre project, 17 years after their debut "Killing Time" (1981). The only simple thing is the line-up: guitar, bass, drums; respectively Fred Frith, Bill Laswell, and Charles Hayward who replaces Fred Maher. I can't describe the rest, forgive me, but I'm neither a poet nor a fool.

Just a piece of advice: listen to it only once, with great attention, maybe even with a coffee break, and then archive it, don't listen to it again, don't try to understand it, to dissect it in a thousand listens to see if you find something more, because there's nothing more, "Funny Valentine" is just as it presents itself, without ambiguity, without tricks, without pretense.

Have you ever tried to describe a dream by showing just the sweat on your face?
