The off, very far-off Broadway original recording of “Kochtopus’s Garden—Now That’s What I Call Capitalism—The Musical,” from the days long before it actually hit the stage. Of course, when it did finally become the stage musical in the mid 2030’s, and the movie thereafter, both became instant smashes, resonating with the majority demographic of progressive populist audiences. The only recently rediscovered curio of this original soundtrack dates from the earlier period, when deep “ideological engineering”, had us programed us to think that music and politics somehow did not, and should not mix.

In true punk spirit Danbert Nobacon & The Axis of Dissent took on the free-market-fundamentalist-fueled, planet-suffocating-might of Koch Industries and their oligarch pals, and their idiot plan of trying to continue to rule a burning planet, as people (and AGPI), increasingly began fighting back. The sub-plot deftly treads the high wire with, then futuristic, songwriting robots, escaping their corporate serfdom, and leaning progressive as their collective autonomous thought processes evolved … all combined in a story which uncovered the twisted operating principles, of the baked in systemic corruption, that lied at the heart of early twenty first century American politics and culture.

The double album features an unprecedented Pacific North West supergroup of musicians from Seattle’s finest, Kuinka, Panda Conspiracy, The Bad Things, The Polyrhythmics, and more, and a liberal helping of the Chumbawamba rhythm section.
