"My friends and I happened on a a copy of a tape years ago that turned out to be "bundle of joy". We had know way of knowing this at the time because the tape was blank. After listening to it about a thousand times, we heard a reference made to UP RECORDS and figured it out from there. This music was a sort of sound track of those times spent with a close friend. Since then my friend has passed away but his memory will never escape me due in large part to this memorable album!!!!!"
I'm not sure why...

"but I can't go without listening to this for more than a month since I first heard it. A friend of mine got two slightly different copies of this in a bulk purchase from an excellent independent music store liquidating it's largely scorched inventory after a pretty devastating fire (only the good die young). In an act of uncharacteristic charity, I ended up with a slightly charred demo copy. I've treasured it ever since.Having dispensed with the maudlin discovery story, beep-boop ditties like Day Late & A Dollar Short, I Dream Of Ghosts, Cruisin For Sentient Beings, and Help For Your Aching Back move right along with haunting hooks, catchy beats, and ghostly atmospherics. Suitable for rainy downtown nights, many of which I'm sure the creator spent in a garage-turned-evil-electronic-laboratory, programming this eccentric classic. A one of a kind. After the third or fourth listen, you will crave it's damp comfort. I am held in a puzzled sense of wonder."
