Jaz Coleman and Anne Dudley recorded a beautiful album entitled The Victorious City "way back" in 1990.

One of my favorite tracks from the album is entitled Ziggarats(sic) Of Cinnamon. All ziggurats should be made of cinnamon and/or chocolate.

Oddly, the Playstation 2 series Xenosaga featured a cyborg character named Ziggurat 8, presumably as excuse to give the space-mercenary the nickname Ziggy (in reference to David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona).

I secretly imagined it was because his cold metal exterior shell was hiding a centre of pure cinnamon and/or chocolate.
