Rudimentary Peni

Pope Adrian 37th Psychristiatric

'Pope Adrian 37th Psychristiatric' is the third album by Rudimentary Peni. Recorded in 1992, but not released until 1995, it features the first music the band recorded after the already leftfield 'Cacophony' album. Full of harrowing and morbid songs based on repetition, repetition and repetition, it is an underrated and difficult masterpiece of truly outsider music, showcasing the band's most experimental side. At the time singer, guitarist and songwriter Nick Blinko was experiencing severe delusions. He believed that he was Pope Adrian the 37th and was detained in a psychiatric hospital under Section 3 of the 1983 Mental Health Act. The album is unhinged and challenging but 100% pure and idiosyncratic. The vinyl version of this reissue comes with remastered sound, a printed inner sleeve and a 16-page booklet featuring artwork from Nick Blinko.
