Spoken word, a kind of avant-garde poetry... While this is meant as serious art, there's a sense of humor to it, too. Lisker is an eccentric math(?) professor back in Connecticut -- I've found him on the Web at www.fermentmagazine.org.
2- Repeats the title phrase, or fragments of it, to twist around the meaning. Fun. Consider it the 'hit single' of the set
3- Another worldplay/phonetics-play track
8- Uses the same tools of repetition, but progresses forward in a narrative about the demise of the dinosaurs. Track 1 is about a dinosaur too, IIRC.

“Word Art” (I dunno) spoken word, poetry, “sound poetry”. Most of these tracks are him repeating one word in a bizarre way that reminds me more of the retarded kids I always had to play with growing up. Either that or Steve Reich, John Cage. Pretty avante stuff, drop a bit here and there into your set, a final nail in the coffin of bizarreness.
All tracks mostly the weird annoying repetitive stuff I described, chose any. Track number 7 is an exception: poetry’esque Economics lecture.
