I cannot remember why I bought this CD, the cover is odd but not exactly something I would consider essential for this project. It is possible I was enticed by the tracks titles Magic Pee, Silly Pepper, About A Gold Fish, Wrong Time Capsule and Weird Boobs?
Musically this is something I might have briefly enjoyed about 20 years ago, the entire album is a collection of cute electro tracks, mainly very simple rhythms with a few bonkers arcade game sounds and "character" vocals. Actually, it is possibly the type of album I might have made 20 years ago on a dull Sunday afternoon - and trust me, that's not a great accolade.
At times mildly amusing, at time highly annoying, it sounds like music made by a non-musician, stuck in a telephone box, using toy instruments. For a while I hated it but I get the odd moment where I find it wonderfully refreshing. It made me want to play my old Harry Hosono records again.
Best Tracks: Silly Pepper, Magic Pee (Hawnay Troof Rmx), Weird Boobs.
Verdict: Fail - twenty years too late.
