Notes:

As this is an Opera, the songs (for the most part) all ran together
especially in the first half. Tracking each of these different parts
would have been practically impossible. Plus, I believe it's meant to 
be heard in it's entirety. The imagery comes from the Hieronymous Bosch
painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights"  And probably more from the third 
panel that depicts Hell as Bosch imagined it in 1503-1504. A link to the 
painting is posted in the "Other Related Links" section below.

WIKI:

Michael David Watt (born December 20, 1957 in Portsmouth, Virginia) is an American 
bass guitarist, singer and songwriter.

He is best-known for co-founding the rock bands Minutemen, dos, and Firehose; 
as of 2003, he is also the bassist for the reunited Stooges and a member of the 
art rock/jazz/punk/improv group Banyan as well as many other post-Minutemen projects.

CMJ New Music called Watt a "seminal post-punk bass player."In November 2008, Watt 
received the Bass Player Magazine lifetime achievement award, presented by Flea.


The Missingmen are a punk rock trio fronted by bassist Mike Watt. 
The band features Watt, guitarist Tom Watson (Slovenly, The Pair Of Pliers, The Jom And Terry Show, 
Red Krayola), and drummer Raul Morales (FYP, Killer Dreamer, The Leeches, The Secondmen).

The band's name is a humorous reference to the fact that during a 2005 European tour behind 
Watt's album The Secondman's Middle Stand, neither of the original Secondmen (Pete Mazich 
and Jerry Trebotic) were able to participate.

The Missingmen began performing in the autumn of 2006, opening for M. Ward. Watt has stated 
his intention to record an album with the Missingmen since 2007, but no formal plans were 
made until 2009, when the group laid down the guitar and drum tracks for Hyphenated-man in 
New York during a planned break in an American tour by Watt. According to Watt interviews 
with Guitar World and Bass Guitar Magazine, the album would feature short songs inspired 
by the paintings of Hieronymous Bosch. The album, first released in Japan in October 2010, 
is the first release on Watt's new independent record label Clenchedwrench.

On a 2009 tour with Dinosaur Jr, Watson and Morales performed without Watt under the moniker 
Lou barlow + the missingmen. This lineup, fronted by Dinosaur bassist and Sebadoh frontman 
Lou Barlow, performed material from Barlow's solo recordings.
