CD Reviews

A fun and impressive concoction
Richard Diaz | 05/16/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a pleasant surprise, as it received little press that I can remember. This is a great mix of 60's looped beats and keyboards (think Smashmouth for a parallel), with electronic tweakery and a clever use of samples on top - all served with a good sense of humor and fun. If you sent a DJ/Producer in a time machine with some gear, he could play chunks of this at a hip beach party. Besides the cool calt"Cookies,", you get the cheeky ode to Casey Kasim on "A Dog Named Snuggles," and Aphex Twn meets Willy Wonka concoction "Toot Sweet Boogie Woogie." A few of these tracks are forgettable -"Sweet Potato" and "Spermy Daydream," but on the whole a fun and impressive concoction for those wanting something different."
