Cairo Time
I made this!
[Full disclosure: I did music & production for this - my friend, writer of some of the strangest prose you're likely to read, did the writing]
Here's some absurdist lunacy; spoken word surrealism, backed by a variety of synthwave / ambient / business funk nonsense. My friend, the writer, made the first Cairo Time recordings as a strange Christmas album, intended for anyone on a journey to some relatives they didn't really want to visit. The second one is a bit less time specific, by which I mean 'I put fewer sleigh bells in it'.
Some of my favourite bits include an insane podcast host claiming that their favourite Beatles song is 'Beetling Around', and a strangely romantic story about meeting someone called Oinky Beak.
If you like the kind of thing that Chris Morris and Michael Alexander St John did, or if you like Ivor Cutler, or Eugene Ionesco, then this might be your kind of thing. Not many people have listened to it, and I'd very much like that to change.

Ah. Yes.
Doing one thing every 17 years is more than I thought I’d accomplished, to be honest. I’m so out of touch with it all that I’m not sure if this is terrible etiquette, though. Do I get lurk points?

Top soundtrack btw - although the guys witterings became a bit too surreal at times - maybe that was the point!
