The "Love, Death & Mussolini E.P". was a cassette released by Steven Wilson under the pseudonym of 'Porcupine Tree'. It compiles a total of nine tracks of which seven were shortly after released in The Nostalgia Factory. The song "Out" was later included on the vinyl edition of the compilation album Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape, "It Will Rain for a Million Years" shares its name with a track in On the Sunday of Life... but is a totally different song and is elsewhere unavailable. Love, Death & Mussolini was limited to only 10 copies so it is nearly impossible to obtain. Many of the lyrics on Love, Death & Mussolini were written by Alan Duffy and given to Steven Wilson as a gift. The inlay of the sleeve contains credits to some musicians of which only JC Camillioni is an existing person, all of the rest are fictitious band members created by Steven Wilson. The back side of the case shows a mocking message explaining why the Love, Death & Mussolini EP is in fact an LP All tracks written by Steven Wilson except tracks A2, A3, A4, and B4 written by Wilson/Duffy. Side one 1. "Hymn" (Tree) - 1:22 2. "Footprints" (Tree, Duffy) - 5:56 3. "Linton Samuel Dawson" (Tree, Duffy) - 3:04 4. "And the Swallows Dance Above the Sun" (Tree, Duffy) - 4:12 5. "Queen Quotes Crowley" (St. Jemain) - 4:40 Side two 1. "No Luck With Rabbits" (Underspoon) - 0:47 2. "Begonia Seduction Scene" (Jemain, Tree) - 2:34 3. "Out" (Tree, Underspoon) - 8:59 4. "It Will Rain for a Million Years" (Tree, Underspoon) - 4:05 Tracks of A1-A5 recorded at No Man's Land and Periscope Station spring – summer 1989. Produced by JC Camillioni and Porcupine Tree at Hidden Art. Track B1 recorded at Periscope Station, spring 1989. The entire sound content of the piece is a recording of a musical box. This recording is then speeded up, slowed down, reversed and overdubbed several times to create the final musical experience. Track B2 is a fragment from a 4 track demo recorded at Periscope Station in October 1987. Tree plays the guitars while Underspoon cranks his mellotron up. Track B3 recorded live in Paris July 14, 1989 and overdubbed and remixed at No Man's Land, October 1989. Track B4 recorded at No Man's Land, October 1989 Produced by JC Camillioni and Porcupine Tree for Hidden Art Productions. Note: "Love, Death and Mussolini" is an E.P. E.P. stands for "extended player" An "extended player" is longer than a single but not long enough to be called an L.P. (a long player). Here then are 3 songs and 2 instrumentals, new material from the band Porcupine Tree. These 5 tracks last for about 20 minutes in total. 20 minutes is a good duration for an "extended player". However, "Love, Death and Mussolini" takes advantage of the cassette medium by including an additional 17 minutes of music taking it to L.P. (long player) length. This is known as "value for money". In the music industry it is known as "marketing". Do your accounting to the sound of Porcupine Tree. http://www.voyage-pt.de/swdisco.pdf -- (Page 201) Read more on Last.fm.
