V/A-THE MEMORIAL ELVIS PROJECT, CD EP, 1992, VARIOUS

Eight brief and playful disembowelings of "The King" enacted by a global cast of eccentrics, some great, some meh. Within these 20 or so minutes, you'll find HNAS submerging Elvis' Hawaiian lullaby Ku-Ui-Po in a vat of lung-y unguents before before beating it to death with a wedge of orchestration,  Asmus Tietchens forming moire patterns from modulated fragments of his vocal mannerisms, La Sonorite Jaune losing him in the steam room of a freighter and Laurent Pernice somehow formulating a species of lopsided funk from a montage of Presley samples that makes me think that Robert Palmer might just saunter up to the mike at any minute.
