The Rise and Fall of Quagmire Blinkinsop and the Space-Monkeys of Uranus, to give the title its full name, was a 1974 concept album by 60's crooner Val Doonican. The album marked Val's departure from the mainstream in favour of a more progressive rock sound. Many have made comparisons to David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars album released two years previously as a major influence, though Val himself has denied any such link. His follow up album "Garçon Ket", itself said to bare an uncanny resemblance to David Bowie's Aladdin Sane album would lead some to question how much Val's work was influenced by the work of others, a claim that would follow him beyond the release of Chien Zirconia in 1974.
