Includes booklet with image form film, detailed track and production credits, and Director's Note:

This film began as a short story gleam in the eye of Neil Gaiman which was then refracted through Phillipa Goslett's adaptation. She saw our hero Enn as a young Neil-like punk comic book artist from much-mocked suburban Croydon. Naturally, the film includes '70s classicsL the first UK punk single "New Rose" by The Damned (Captain Sensible & Rat Scabies did time in Croydon); Lou Reed's "I Found A Reason" (thank you Hal Wilmer and Laurie Anderson!), "Nursery Chymes" by the great Bruno Wizard of The Homosexuals (who cameos as our club MC). But DIY being both our medium and our message, this album favors the new stuff and we didn't have room for period gems like Bruno's "Soft South Africans" or Dub Specialist's "Starring Dub". The punk side of things is anchored by our fictional band The Dyschords, created by Brian Weller and singer Martin Tomlinson (bless you Danny Fields for those YouTube videos of Martin's band Selfish Cunt). Kudos to The Dyschords producer/mixer Rory Attwell. AC Newman contributed the instant classics "Fuck All" and "Angry Universe" (inspired by a line from the short story) while Ezra Furman delivered the creamy "Rainy Life". Along with Justo Craig and Tots of Clay (the Broadway _Hedwig_ band), I formed The Dyslexic Cnuts (which lasted for a day... so punk) to record the song "Extraction" with cabaret legend Amber Martin who offers the melt-in-your-mouth "Bermuda" (and who also voices the soul singer in Mum's kitchen scene). The vast and deep alien soundscape was conjured by sonic sorcerers Matmos (who also give us the faux krautrock "Flecken", or "Cum Stain" in German). Maestro Nico Muhly provided alien choral textures and a glorious Exit Requiem for our departing aliens (or was it a Brexit Requiem?0. Xiu Xiu's Jame Stewart and I spawned the trans-species alien-punk "Eat Me Alive", performed live by Alex Sharp and Elle Fanning, as well as our space-dance credit song "Between the Breaths" voiced by indie goddess Mitski. Bless you Michael Hill for shepherding our musical flock. I urge the reader to make things with her/his/their mates. As with us, a wonderful time will be had by all.
