Side B is a being in a blackout on an indoor rollercoaster. and then a carnival. and then dying (the ending is adequately called "The Meat").

Ive never tried to write anything about this record but it sounds as batshit as I do posting this. And it came out in 1981. Mind boggling to be sure.
Love Mnemonists and the follow-up band Biota (which eventually moved towards a folkish, but still super weird style).
Totally unique stuff.
