about

This album was compiled between January and August 2018. It takes its name from the famous painting by Hieronymus Bosch; however, comparisons largely end there. The music has its own logic, taking the listener on a sonic journey through a mysterious and often unpredictable, phantasmagorical landscape. The full title of this album is Evil Tends to His Garden of Earthly Delights.

REVIEWS
"There’s a lot of compositional work here, and great sonic variety; a lot more than initially meets the ear, this is a record that will reward repeated listening." - Chris Cutler (RER)

"more squonks, randomness, chainsaws and organ rising music than you can shake a drum stick at" - Idiot Bastard Son

Richard Hemmings / Evil Dick / Breakfast Club Improv band Leicester, UK

Composer Evil Dick is a violent, abusive control freak. He is psychotic, given to totally contradicting himself. He is self- obsessed, which is not surprising because he is also incredibly dull (anyone heard his "coloured
dots" monologue?). He is prone to bouts of extreme grumpiness, especially in bed, when any kind of sound, including his own breathing sends him into a rage. ... more

I've listened to this so many times. As a rabid Zappa fan, and a huge fans of Mats, I can plainly say that this collection breathes life into these wonderful compositions. Mats always brings a palpable sense of fun to his playing, and he has done Frank proud with this set. You can tell that these songs are in his bones. Highly recommended! Play it again, Mats!
