The sky fell over cheap Korean monster-movie scenery |
First known performance:
“Fatigue can play cruel tricks upon your perceptions, but arriving early one violent morning, among the frenzied commuters, with the storm clouds down beneath the tops of the tallest building, Tokyo DID seem like the setting for a particularly brutal science-fiction story (perhaps something by Philip K. Dick). So thinking 'Why stop there, let's trash the world,' I recalled twenty years of nightmares, actual or altered, to present this thug's-eye view of the planet.” — Girls Girls Girls liner notes, 1989.
