Norwegian Dadaist Joek Friiss 1927 classic is here again at last, brought back to life for the general public courtesy of Taped Rugs Productions. Similar in style to the Dadaist/Surrealist films of Hans Richter and Viking Eggeling, Sukkeret Og Pepper (Sugar And Pepper) overlays seemingly disjointed vignettes, smudges, and situations, repeating themes and discarding logic in a bewildering cavalcade of imagery. Avant Garde recording artist Charles Goff III lends a modern interpretation to Friiss original score, incorporating a wide variety of sounds as well as several Scandanavian voices into the mix.

The Turk R. and the German M. are buddies. R. works as a bartender in a hip Mexican margarita joint, and M. as a cook in an African restaurant which specializes in shark dishes. They each have 2 girlfriends at a time since they believe in the "polygamic nature of men" and that "their body needs the change". Unfortunately their 4 girlfriends -- all of which are modern women - do not share those philosophical views and raise hell once they discover the double timing. - This is Chapter 1 "Good Morning, You Handsome Guy!" - Chapter 2-6 to follow.
