• Audio - Omnes Tredecim Boni

    Omnes Tredecim Boni was Paxy Dragon’s answer to the accusation that we would be ‘pretentious’. We thought we had a perfect understanding of perspective so we gave our album this Latin title, that loosely translate to ’13 big hits’.

    Omnes Tredecim Boni is fake Latin for ‘Alle Dertien Goed’, which is Dutch for well, loose translation: ‘Thirteen Top Hits’.
    This is a bit of a joke since someone once  said we were pretentious. So we thought a Latin title is exactly what we needed.

  • Record sleeve - Omnes Tredecim Boni

    ‘Omnes Tredecim Boni’ is the title of a Paxy Dragon album in which they sing about rituals and habits of their island. The title is a bit of a practical joke: the band was judged as ‘pretentious’ regularly so they made up a latin sounding title that translates to ‘All 13 Great’ – referring to the 13 songs on the album. In the Netherlands, it used to be common that you could buy ‘All 13 Great’, of ‘All 13 Hits’ albums on which the masses’ favourite tunes were covered by anonymous bands. Usually, these tracks were lame.

    Since CD’s usually are so ugly, i thought it would be great to print the transparant plastic as part of the design to go with the paper behind it.
