WM047: Kukkiva Kunnas - Ordem progresso
released 16 july 2006

01. First grain of sand |
With the publication of this album and its companion
Grand
Poodles [WM046]
begins a completely new adventure in the history of mankind.
The Brothers Rumpan Löök & Kukkiva Kunnas announce themselves
without miracle or mystery. It is easy for every charlatan to
perform wonders, to bewilder and even to deceive not only fools but
all persons, however shrewd, untrained in observation; nor does the
trained observed always succeed instantly in detecting the fraud.
Again, what Rumpan Löök and Kukkiva Kunnas propose to do is to
enable such men as are capable of advancement to a higher
interpretation of manhood to do so; and the proof of their ability
lies in their success, and not in any other irrelevant phenomenon.
Nor is there anything mysterious in Rumpan Löök & Kukkiva Kunnas;
one must not confuse the mysterious with the unknown. Some of the
contents of these albums may be difficult or impossible to
understand at first, but only in the sense that Homer is
unintelligible to a person ignorant of Greek. But the Brothers
Rumpan Löök & Kukkiva Kunnas make no mystery; They give you not only
the Text & Musick, but the Comment; not only the Comment, but the
Dictionary, the Grammar, and the Alphabet. It is necessary to be
thoroughly grounded in the language before you can appreciate their
masterpieces; and if while totally ignorant of the former you
despise the latter, you will forgive the more frivolous onlookers if
their amusement matches your indignation. The Brothers Rumpan Löök &
Kukkiva Kunnas have set their faces against all charlatanism,
whether of miracle-mongering or obscurantism; and all those persons
who have sought reputation or wealth by such means may expect
ruthless exposure, whether of their vanity or their dishonesty; for
by no gentler means can they be taught.
First published are two little albums; an account of Kukkiva Kunnas'
character and purpose, restored from the vaults; these two albums
chiefly for the benefit of those who will understand wrongly or not
at all the motto "THE METHOD OF HOLY UNANIMOUS AMBIGUOS
INSIGNIFICANCE --- THE AIM OF LAUGHING ZEN & PING FU KUNG," in which
(if rightly interpreted) all is expressed.
From time to time new Musick will be published. It is the intention
of the Brothers Rumpan Löök & Kukkiva Kunnas to establish a
laboratory in which anyone may be able to carry out such experiments
as require too much time and toil to suit with their ordinary life;
and Their further plans will be explained fully as opportunity
permits. Any person desirous of entering into the communication with
Rumpan Löök & Kukkiva Kunnas may do so by addressing a letter to the
Chancellor of the Order of H.U.A.I.
