Review from Vital Weekly Magazine
VAGINA DENTATA ORGAN - IRENE'S CUNT (CD by World Satanic Network System)
Let's start with a bit of history: in 1928 the French surrealist poet and novelist Louis Aragon published his short novel Le Con d'Irène
or, in plain English, "Irene's Cunt". The novel details the life and contemplations of an older man who has lost his ability to speak and move because of syphilis.
Due to the novel's slightly subversive content, Aragon used the pseudonym Albert de Routisie. Interestingly enough, even though the novel was considered extremely
controversial in the 1920s, Aragon himself would later be nominated for a Nobel Prize for literature no less than four times! Serving in the French army in World War II,
Aragon was awarded the Croix de guerre (War Cross) and the military medal for acts of bravery. After the defeat of the French army, Aragon joined the French resistance,
both as a poet as organizer of resistance acts. Following the war Aragon became involved in Communism and publishing. In his final years he resumed to his surrealistic
writing before passing on in December 1982. This album, tantalizingly packed in a silver foil bag, not un-reminiscent of those 1970s bags in which you would purchase your
pornographic magazines, is intended as tribute to the famous novelist and his infamous novel. Now, as with Aragon it is impossible to predict Vagina Dentata Organ.
The solo project of Catalan surreal artist Jordi Valls, VDO has been releasing intriguingly unpredictable sound since 1983. Therefore, I am not going to tell you what Irene's
Cunt is holding for you. You, dear reader, will have to buy a copy of the album and experience that familiar tantalizing excitement, reminiscent of the aforementioned
magazine bag, of opening that silver foil bag and checking out its content. Be prepared for the unexpected. Nothing is what is seems - certainly not Irene's cunt (FK).
