'Tales From Monographic Oceans': an improvised journey through a stretch of sea, cutting across the isthmuses of certain discographies (XTC B-sides, alternatives and more 55, 14)
'the B-side is important, even in music...': in other words, it's too easy, with people like this, to pass through the official discography at 33 and 1/3. But here we want evidence 'e contrariis', we don't want easy bèl.
Since, with these pieces written a bit to the left and left out or at best relegated to the back of singles, 12'' and various EPs, ANYONE (and I mean ANYONE: think of your favorite pop-rock author and they fit in there too, for sure) could have built a much more than bright career. This is pop...even if deliberately left in the corner.
