Comment:
arrghh, undoubtedly it is a frantic set of 12 pieces which is composed of a huge array of the snippets of (mostly) vintage recording samples, commercials and elaborated sounds. Indeed, it behaves like a chameleon throughout the whole course providing many cogent changes in formation and moods. More profoundly, sometimes it chimes like a space age courier, sometimes like a brother of Dave Keifer`s Cagey House due to its haunting artful outlets, at times like a weird output of indie/folk pop, classical music and electro (which is driven by autotuned robotic vocals with tongue in cheek). Or on the other side offering up instances of buffoonish pop a la Kevin Ayers which do entertain you in a weird way as those compositions which freak out within the territory of ethnic and trance-induced progressions. It is a loveable issue which may make you go nuts.
