about

This track was included in the "La edad de plomo" compilation CD, Nøvak NVK037, 2017. novakrecs.bandcamp.com/album/la-edad-de-plomo

"Tráiganme las cabezas de Adolfo Suárez" is Spanish for "Bring me the heads of Adolfo Suárez". Suárez was the head of the government that brought democracy to Spain after 40 years of Franco's dictatorship. The track title is a sentence uttered by Arias Navarro, the former prime minister appointed by a decrepit Franco to rule the country unchanged after his death. When Arias Navarro was informed that Suárez was the man designated by the King of Spain to become the new prime minister (instead of himself or any of his acolytes), it seems that he uttered this mysterious expression. The utterance indelibly soaked the walls of Arias Navarro's office and it was afterwards captured by Uri Geller in one of his most famous psychophonies, which can now be purchased as a souvenir from Madrid. Look for kiosks with the red logo "Marca" and ask for its collection of ESP memorabilia; another interesting piece is a ghostly recording with the voice of former prime minister Aznar saying garbage with a false Texan accent (and this will be stuff for another of our tracks).

Here, though, we explored one of the best kept secrets in contemporary Spanish history: Adolfo Suárez's multicephalia. After taking some herbs mentioned in Carlos Castaneda's books, yours truly Muhammad and Muhammad were transformed into two of such heads. This transcorporeal experience allowed us to make music to throw cobblestones, or make music so dense as a cobblestone, or even make cobblestones to make music with them. And in quadraphonic sound!!!
