“Oh, I'm so agitated, so agitated…”

“Mr. Savage was so suitably struck by the nascent noise, the inchoate cacophony, the mellifluous misanthropic melody, that he forced Rough Trade (and I heard it was by the use of some very odious blackmail) to issue the Agitated/Cyclotron single. When Paul spake his misgivings as to the quality of the recording available for the master tape, the answer came back from merry olde england, "I say olde chaps, we don't care if it was recorded in a fucking merry olde closet!"

John Morton, leadguitarist i Cleveland-bandet The Electric Eels, om udgivelsen af ‘Agitated/Cyclotron’. De to numre blev indspillet i 1975. Singlen kom først tre år senere. På det tidpunkt var gruppen for længst opløst.

Mr. Savage hedder Jon til fornavn. I dag er han nok mest kendt for sit brede forfatterskab om populærkultur, men han har både været radiovært og ansat som musikjournalist hos Sounds, Melody Maker og The Observer m.m.
