"Ya want strange?
Quelque chose!
This is the soundtack music for your weirdest trip. But fun! Might be the most inventive, strangest conglomeration of notes I've heard on one CD in at least a decade.
If you have a taste for the bizarre, and think Zappa is actually dead, you need to give this a listen, at least.
Psychotic minstels on parade, or cascade, or whatever.
Imagine a Jew's Harp, backed by a wall of guitars, backed by maracas or some such.
Each track is different than anything you've heard before. What better way to describe it?
Entirely new, unusual, yet borrowing from folk beats from around the planet.. and heaping helping of Americana, a la recent Springsteen. Weird scenes inside the goldmine Muzak. Elevator to hell serenade!
I know I'm carrying on, but this is truly original, new stuff here. Thus the hyperbole. Hope it catches on and smokes the cookie cutter crapola thsat is cramming up the airwaves these days.
