kilimanjaro












The new wave of psychedelia...um...erupted out of Liverpool with this shimmering pop absurdity. the sound was dynamic and the lyrics inscrutable. Julian Cope may have been out of his mind on dope and speed; but the world he created inspired the next wave of musical travelers.  The working title for the album was Everyone Wants To Shag The Teardrop Explodes, but was changed to Kilimanjaro.
