Notes About This Song

Occam's Razor is the original unedited solo that was used in the piece entitled ‘On The Bus’ on Joe's Garage Act 1. The solo was isolated and superimposed over the wet t shirt version on Joe’s Garage in a process that Frank invented known as 'Xenochrony'. The title is based on a famous theoretical principle by British philosopher William of Ockham, which, in a nutshell, comes down to "All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best." In other words, when multiple competing theories are equal in other respects, the "principle" recommends selecting the theory that introduces the fewest assumptions and postulates the fewest entities. It is in this sense that Occam's razor is usually understood.
