Obscure RT song hidden on first album by supergroup French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson titled "Life, Love, Larf and Loaf." Album featured efforts by John "Drumbo" French, Fred Frith, Henry Kaiser and of course Richard Thompson. Thompson's absolutely heaviest song ever (which makes "Shoot Out the Lights" sound like a nursery rhyme) is a perverse apocalyptic vision of a storm. Video is made up of random violent storm footage intercut with stills from the 1951 Oscar nominated "Pandora and the Flying Dutchman," based on the legend of the sea captain doomed to sail the seas forever unless he can find a woman to love him and go with him on his ghost ship. James Mason as the Dutchman, Ava Gardner as Pandora. The song strangely fits with the cataclysmic and mystic ending to the movie. I own no part of any of the recorded content here, and everything is posted purely for the sake of the art being shared.
