"The track itself is meant to be a joke. The german lyrics are about "schlaraffenland". It then cuts away to an english chorus about a guy tripping out on mushrooms. The idea is that the guy is in this "schlaraffenland". If you look through the multitude of samples, the track also has the Pro-1 doing some underlying subs alongside the bass guitar (which is going through a fuzz pedal). There is also a Pro-1 (1:27) sound in the 2nd chorus on the right hand side... this was originally a simple up/down sawtooth, but I transposed it up a few octaves. You might be able to hear the Mellotron choir sound during the same chorus! The ARP 2600 (0:50) is playing on the right-hand side during the english chorus, and for the breakdown bit (0:48) for the machine gun kick-drum effect. I've also got the Octave CAT (1:11) working away on the weird blips, which is turn is going through a Watkins Copicat for that retro sci-fi effect. The CAT is probably my favorite synthesizer due to it's grimey filter, and the ability to mix waveforms/modulations as you're playing."
"The vocals are sung by two artists. The first is a german band called Carmen, who did a track called "Schlaraffenland" in 1982, and is sung by Carmen Thelen Gaspar. The chorus is sung by Adjeef The Poet (Ad Visser), who in 1967 released a track called 'Iekk! I'm A Freak'."
