Songs from the Pink Death
1998 studio album by Kramer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Songs from the Pink Death is the fourth studio album by composer and producer Kramer, released on February 17, 1998, by Shimmy Disc and Knitting Factory Records.[2] The album features backup musicians including drummer Damon Krukowski of Galaxie 500 and guitarist Sean Eden of Luna.[1] The album is replete with obscure and obvious references such as to "Sunday Morning" in "Don't Come Around", John Malkovich's character's theory in The Convent in "The Opium Wars Have Long Ceased", and the sample from "Wipe Out (instrumental)" in "The Pink Death Song of Love". The album also includes a cover of The Beatles' "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away".
