C.3.3.
Ballad Of Reading Gaol - The Cacophonietta
C.3.3. is a personal project from Paul Jamrozy, co-founder of original industrial agitators TEST DEPT. The work is
inspired by the real life experience of Her Majesty's Prison Reading. Tracing the history of the location through to the
present current political and social situation, evoking the harsh realities of Victorian and modern day Britain.
Reminiscent of the finest mid-era TEST DEPT., such as 'Gododdin' or 'Pax Britannica', with heavy percussion, strings,
and strident vocals. The title C.3.3. is drawn from the cell number where the literary figure Oscar Wilde was
incarcerated in Reading Gaol under gross indecency charges. C.3.3. was the pseudonym used for the publication 'The
Ballad Of Reading Gaol', a poem based on the execution of a fellow inmate. This sonic rendition draws upon the writings
of Wilde's poem and the horrors of prison life for a condemned man, as a metaphor for the universal predicament of all
humankind. Remastered with 2 bonus tracks, featuring TEST DEPT. and presented in a 6-panel digipak.
