but what are we actually saying
was originally released in December 1977 on EMI's progressive label 'Harvest' perhaps an unlikely label for a release that effectively prefigured both post-punk & art-punk

A Point Too Far To Astronaut... folk rock but what are we actuallyTelephone Jim Jesus compiled songs for a self released project, adding tracks and guests over two years. After being heard by the anticon family, it was released on the label as A Point Too Far to Astronaut, a psychedelic collage of samples, synths, drums, vocals, guitar, and piano, with surreal poetry. The record's mood ranges from hallucinatory to sad, paranoid and angry, to sarcastic and humorous.
