17 Pygmies – Welcome (In the Netherheaven) Original 1988 U.S. promotional pressing on Great Jones / Island Records. 17 Pygmies was formed in Los Angeles by Robert Loveless and Louise Bialik following their work with the seminal post-punk/industrial outfit Savage Republic. Blending art rock, neo-psychedelia, atmospheric ambient passages, and surreal spoken-word theatrical vignettes (featuring Charles Schneider), 'Welcome' is an avant-garde cult favorite.
