CD Reviews

It finally won me over.
George Griggs | New York | 12/20/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is definatley a sountrack. For what? I guess "The Tropic of Nipples": an unrealized film? A soundtrack for the imagination? A private joke amoungst the collective on this CD? A "movie for the ears"? It doesn't matter. Upon the 3rd listening I got into the spirit and fun of this recording (on its' own quirky, strange, sprawling terms) and began to enjoy it.

The tracks veer from: spoken word poetry accompanied by noisy free-form jazz; very catchy punk-type songs; Bob singing short bursts of song into a cassette; reviews being read aloud; and more. This CD, for me, is an intellectual interesting journey and best listened to alone. This is not for everyone (even B. Pollard fans).

If you're curious what Bob Pollard, Vom (who, for me, have the best actual songs on this recording), Richard Meltzer, Antler, and Smegma might have put together, check out this CD. I give it 4 stars for balls, uniqeness, and because the SEQUENCING of the vastly different tracks give this album a rising arc with beginning, middle and end (which is an art-form in itself)."
