Description

MOMUS-AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS (9 minute video) Scottish born Electronic-folk singer Momus (a.k.a. Nick Currie) is recognized for his extremely eclectic and diverse style of music and his acclaimed Folktronic album. His 1998 album Little Red Songbook resulted in a costly lawsuit issued by electronic composer Wendy Carlos. To recuperate his losses, Momus offered to write a song for anyone who donated $1,000 towards his legal costs. He ended up writing 30 "musical portraits", which featured on the self-released Stars Forever, a magnificent epic which also included karaoke renditions of Momus songs by his fans.
