THE MAN FROM TAURED
According to The Directory Of Possibilities [edited by Colin Wilson & John Grant, 1981] -
"Other people have claimed to come from lands not known to exist. In 1851 a certain Joseph Vorin came to the attention of the German authorities; he said he was from Laxaria, in a country called Sakria.
In 1905 a young man was arrested in Paris; he spoke an unknown language but managed to convey that he was a citizen of Lisbian - not, it should be stressed, Lisbon.
And in 1954 a passport check in Japan is alledged to have produced a man with papers issued by the nation of Taured."

Several years ago this album, and the title track in particular, started picking up an unusual number of hits.
A bit of research showed that a version of the 'Man From Taured' story had recently found its way onto the internet and was arousing considerable interest.
At least one forum that I saw actually gave this site as the source of the story.
It's not - as noted above, we found it in the Directory Of Possibilities.

Anyway - this 2004 recording was something of a crossroads album - the last wholly analogue one, recorded on 4-track cassette and shaped somewhat by the use... Ok, maybe over-use... of an old Casio sampler keyboard we got for a fiver in a charity shop in Durham. It pretty much gave up the ghost after this.
