Nurse With Wound - Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella (United Dairies, 1979)

Nurse With Wound - Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella
A chic English noise band's inane debut, named for Lautréamont. [wincing] Ew, what a glum scene!

Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella

Notes
  1. The title of this album comes from the sixth canto of the Comte de Lautréamont's Les Chants de Maldoror. Originally hailed by the Surrealists, this line has since become a handy catchphrase for avant-gardists who'd rather evoke the inexhaustible power of the poetic imagination than demonstrate it. 
  2. Alternative anagram: Inane English noise band's unwarranted debut. "We now augment a malign catechism of cliché!"
