Comment:

The mix is an experiment in thematic reintroduction. A set of piano variations by Frederic Rzewski, based on the socialist anthem "íEl Pueblo unido jamas sera vencido!", is used as the unifying melodic device - a selection of the variations are unevenly spaced throughout, with the unadorned theme being introduced at the beginning of the mix and signally the finish of it. The variations create more or less clean divisions in the CD, helping each section behave as a coherent unit. The repetition of pieces from the same album (Pere Ubu), seems to work in the context. It also recalled a similar practice in the palindromic "Der zweiter Knall."The "starken Obert÷nen" are socialist ones, used here not without a degree of irony.
