From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ectogenesis (from the Greek ecto, "outer," and genesis) is the growth of an organism in an artificial environment[1] outside the body in which it would normally be found, such as the growth of an embryo or fetus outside the mother's body, or the growth of bacteria outside the body of a host.[2] The term was coined by British scientist J.B.S. Haldane in 1924.[3][4]

I have got to get this album, because I rather suspect it will be one of those rewarding experiences where you hear something new every time you listen to it, and that is such a blessed rare thing, these days!

You can get weirder and try Planet X or my personal favorite: Virgil Donati's "In This Life". All instrumental of course ;)
I hope they play this and Backpfeifengesicht at some shows. These are my faves for sure.

To be honest - and maybe it's 'cause I heard the live version before hearing the album version - but it sounds so much better live and the nuances of every thump just cuts through the mix effortlessly without drowning the other parts out.
