The Day The Earth Stood Still was recorded in 1970, while Fowley was living in Helsinki, producing and songwriting for some local bands. For this album—a Swedish-only release for the MNW label—Fowley, "the expat", delivers his own warped 'State Of The Nation' on songs like "The Frail Ocean" and "I Was A Communist For The FBI"...as usual, the lucid ravings of a madman.
