There is no guitar anywhere on it, which for a rock band was the point. It is named after a Maryland concert amphitheatre.

The band come from Versailles and had spent ten years making records almost nobody outside France bought before this one arrived.

A song cycle set in a hospice ward, about a worker and a dying patient, that most listeners take as being about something else entirely.
