Elvis plays songs from his new album, as well as unreleased material, on this edition of Morning Becomes Eclectic. When I was Cruel is the first album released in seven years and recorded entirely at home using beat boxes, fuzz boxes and other effects brought into the studio today. Elvis has tamed the devices, from what may seem like a rigid approach to the music, into a more fluid form. &quotEvery time its different, that-s the good thing I like about it.. nothing's programmed, its just things that happen and therefore its just like people.&quot Elvis compares his music to the music of the beat generation, which he grew up with in the 50's, and claims to have a disliking for square and boring rhythm rock. A dislike for square and boring got him signed in London when he played outside of a CBS Records convention at the Hilton and was also arrested for his efforts.
