Notes:

Liner notes:
« Cover images taken from David and Ania's collection of Delft tiles portraying Cain Killing Abel (Genesis IV: 8)
The title of this album was inspired by my readings in the Akkadian Omen series DIŠ URU ina mēlê GAR (šumma ālu ina mēlê šakin)—"If A City Is Set Upon A Height".
Once the wedges were formed, and correctly understood, the words fell from my eyes. »

Website notes:
“If A City Is Set Upon A Hill was given to me by YHWH G+D through my endless readings within the Akkadian Omen series šumma ālu ina mēlê šakin (“If A City Is Set Upon A Height”), my endless obsession with the story of Cain Killing Abel (Genesis IV: 8), and my endless rewatching of the same ten supernatural films.

I and the Perfect C93 FamilyOrgasm have been leaping higher than hares to bring you this Obsessive, Incomprehensible, DreamText. It must make NoSense AtAll! Beyond that, I have nothing to say except: There Is No Zodiac. And Hey AnyWay, Kids, We’re All Dust.
Love David+++”
