DROOLIAN / JULIAN COPE
English musician, writer, historian, and cosmic shaman Julian Cope came to fame in the late '70s and early '80s as the frontman for the Liverpudlian post-punk group Teardrop Explodes. An enigmatic storyteller, contrarian, mystic, and hallucinogen enthusiast, Cope embarked on a genre-defying solo career upon leaving the band in 1983. Beginning with World Shut Your Mouth in 1984, he released a string of LPs that married the Teardrops' love of debauched psych-pop with folk, chamber pop, Krautrock, ambient/electronica, and space and alternative rock.

Even more of an odd one-off than Skellington, Droolian is another 30-minute collection of random fun from the Cope files, in this case taken from a Skinner-produced session in Liverpool. Like Skellington, it was also released via the Zippo label as an end runaround of Island, but under even more curious circumstances. The album was designed to raise funds for psych legend Roky Erickson, then facing jail time in Texas, so it was in fact only released in that state with a bold "FREE ROKY ERICKSON" logo on the back cover. One further similarity with Skellington is that Droolian clearly foreshadows Cope's imminent masterpiece Peggy Suicide -- one of that album's best moments, the epic "Safesurfer," appears here in a shorter, murkier edit that still has much of the intensity of the later take. Another song, "Commin' Down," actually reappears from Skellington in a rougher take here. Cope's quirky liner notes, mixing the silly and serious as he so often does, talk about most of the contents of Droolian...(AllMusic)
