Doctor Mabuse was made famous in three movies director Fritz Lang made about the character. Dr. Mabuse is a master of disguise & telepathic hypnosis. Mabuse rarely commits his crimes in person, instead operating primarily through a network of agents implementing schemes he has planned for them. Mabuse's agents range from: career criminals working for him; innocents blackmailed or hypnotized into cooperation; & dupes manipulated so successfully they do not realize that they are doing exactly what Mabuse planned for them to do.
Mabuse's identity often changes. One Dr. Mabuse may be defeated & sent to an asylum, jail, or grave, only for a new Dr. Mabuse to later appear, as depicted in The Testament of Dr. Mabuse. The replacement invariably has the same methods, the same powers of hypnosis, & the same criminal genius. There are even suggestions in some installments of the series that the real Mabuse is some sort of spirit that possesses a series of hosts psychically.

ReplyDeleteI'm currently astonished at this album, having never heard of it at all. The breadth of the pop song writing, and the high bar. Thank you! I've looked at the usual outlets, and not found anything. Do you have the other two albums, he said desperately? Cheers.
ReplyDeleteThis is a band I really enjoy. They somehow combine heady experimentalism with perfectly crafted pop sensibility. I don't have The Melbourne Method but I do have Mabused somewhere. I'll dig it out & post it up ASAP. I'll leave word here or check my latest. Thanks for the interest.
DeleteThank you! Anticipation.
