"Sunlight grids quiver in the system. Read on! It's monk time - it's hop time. Don't read this. We said: don't read this. Let sapphires glide into the grooves. What is beat? What is beat today? And what is over-beat? And who the hell is going to melt the hot and cold world of tomorrow?
Listen, as Roger beats, Gary plucks, Dave pummels. And Eddie dreams hell's bass part. And Larry fingers the keys of the day after tomorrow. The Monks believe in nothing. The Monks believe that everything is possible. The Monks give everything. Words are the outline of lies. Why do The Monks produce their own words - for days on end, as the moon shines - until one word leads to another. Don't listen. Count from nine until blast off, then swim into the city's primeval forest. Black discs mirror colorful, shimmering illusions. This black circle, however, quivers within the system of our dear world - goodness gracious - the experiment, after all, is only beginning. Truth is habit-forming. Lying is the art of pleasing the other. The monks for their part, love." - Original liner notes from 1966.

And here is a recommended 2-cd tribute album from 2006 !
The Wire wrote: "Unlike many tribute projects that fall flat due to those involved being either overawed or ignorant of the original material, "Silver Monk Time" succeeds because the participants have taken the group's primitive rock surge as a template to experiment with. As a result the sound of The Monks is treated to a 21st century workout with synthesizers and beat tracks threaded through the original quartet's already way out psychotic minimalism."With Faust, The Fall, Fehlfarben, Alexander Hacke, Jason Forrest, F.S.K., Mouse On Mars, S.Y.P.H, Die Goldenen Zitronen, Cycle, PTV 3 - among others.
