Phantom Culture - The Mumbles, Song No.08 (1980's Alt)

The Mumbles was a 1980's punk-metal band that gained prominence by playing art receptions and concert lineups for American cultural maestro, Matt Foley, and his Nepenthe Mundi Society events.

Foley was first in the US to combine poetry and literary readings, along with original music performances as part of art receptions - a type of manifestation of "The Glass Bead Game" concept proposed by Herman Hesse in his novel, "Magister Ludi", in which Hesse depicts a utopian society of intellectual elites who play a universal game about humanity’s eternal quest for enlightenment and for synthesis of the intellectual and the active life, of aesthetics and scientific arts by incorporating elements such as music, logic, and philosophy to create an ultimate expression.
