UDON by Usaginingen (Klaus Dinger + JAPANDORF)

The first side of our record starts with Royksopp’s track about happiness, then Lyapis Trubetskoy will try to build the society of the future and Lenny Kravitz will fight film credits. Plus videos made of chalk and cardboard, old photographs of New York, dancing vehicles and naked French girls. And finally a deadly karaoke with Metronomy.
