“Eye of Fatima (Part 1)” by Camper Van Beethoven

"Eye of Fatima (Part 1)" comes from Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart, Camper Van Beethoven's 1988 jump to a major label, Virgin, and all five members share the writing credit. David Lowery sings and plays guitar alongside Greg Lisher and Jonathan Segel, Victor Krummenacher is on bass and Chris Pedersen on drums, while Segel also works through cittern, mandolin, keyboards, piano and strings.

Dennis Herring produced, the first outside producer they had ever used, and his hand shows: the record keeps their grab bag of folk, ska, Eastern European and Middle-Eastern sounds, Americana and psychedelia, but it comes out noticeably slicker and more mainstream than the garage-rock leanings of their earlier albums. It was also their first album without founding member Chris Molla.
