All kinds of messed-up...

"The third album by the very screwed-up industrial band Vampire Rodents is, as expected, very screwed-up. Their sample-based compositions are disjointed and discombobulated and thoroughly enjoyable if you're into that kind of thing. They established their "demented children's music" idiom in both their artwork and their use of Loony Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoon samples, something that composer Daniel Vahnke would exploit more heavily on future VR releases and in his side project Ether Bunny. Chemlab's Jared Hendrickson-cum-Louche and Babyland's Dan Gatto contribute vocals to several songs."

"I remember buying the first Vampire Rodent's album (I forget the name) Lullaby Land, and Clockseed when I had ran across this name on CDNow and then saw that they were all selling on Ebay. This was quite a while back and at the time, I loved them.
I got the pleasure of talking with Daniel Vahnke and another friend of his that had worked on the albums (and also sold them to me.) The samples, many vocals, and a variety of songs is enough to keep one wanting more. Also check out Clockseed and his side project Ether Bunny. You might not find Ether Bunny to your liking at first, but give it a try, it'll set in."
