The Great Brain

Lyrics

 * 1 "RadiCasse" is a common abbreviation for a radio cassette recorder, a device more commonly referred to in English as a boombox. Japan was a leading producer of these in the '70s. A "RaTeCasse" is a boombox that can also receive TV waves and play them back on a small screen; this type of device never caught on outside Japan. The year after this song came out, P-Model made a radio jingle for the National Color Trans-Am X30 RaTeCasse.

Connections

 * The song is a reworking of the first 2 minutes of Mandrake's "Deranged Door", a segment that alternates between sections on 7/4 and 5/4 time.


 * The "la la la" section, a chromatic descent from A/La to D/Re, is identical in shape to the chorus of Pink Floyd's "Astronomy Domine". Susumu Hirasawa is fond of the album that song comes from, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and P-Model went on to cover a song from it ("Bike").
