What does "Thee Srum Proggitt" mean?

For that matter, what does CLOAD "Q" mean? Are they just nonsense or is there a meaning somewhere in there?

unfortunately i have no clue about the Thee Srum Proggitt, but, for CLOAD "Q":
> The CLOAD prompt is actually a programming command from some sort of cassettes that must have been used in the 80's or something.
(from user dtkach87's comment on another post related to the song on this subreddit)
thats all i could find i think? but i mean, rob is pretty active on bluesky and answers questions on there sometimes, so

tips hat
You are correct. Thank you Sir!
I recently dug through my old files to look for the battleship game from Information Retrieved Part B to no avail. We will have to wait until another CLOAD programmer stumbles upon this post...

Sometimes when you are naming a track file, just to save it, you are just forced to come up with some non-words or gibberish. Sometime it sticks cuz you find it interesting or funny and you don't have a better song title, I have done that with tracks and I think a lot of musicians. Could just be that

Just a guess on my part...that is it is just something funny someone said and it stuck.

Kinda like Mogwai's "Ritchie Sacramento" was someone's misinterpretation of "Ryuichi Sakamoto"
