Hmm.  On the subject of Gorey, of which I missed the original post, so I don't know
why we're talking about him, I have an album by Michael Mantler titled _The Hapless
Child_ which has Gorey art on the cover and uses Gorey works as lyrics.  The lineup:
Michael Mantler, Robert Wyatt, Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Jack Dejohnette, Terje
Rypdal, with additional backup by Alfeda Benge, Albert Caulder, and Nick Mason,
who's in this band called Pink Floyd with David Gilmour who helped introduce KT to
the world of commercial music.

Haven't listened to it in years, though (it's (p) 1976).
