at last!i ordered Plus-Tech Squeeze Box’s album “CARTOOOM!” in october, and it’s finally arrived. Praise Be!
they are a Japanese electro-funk pop computer-jazz band. yup. in this album they’ve managed to squeeze in just about every musical genre known to musical man. it’s an audio assault that makes your head hurt after 2 minutes.
high speed breakbeat interspersed with bluegrass banjo, crowbar in a few looney toon inspired riffs, fill with filthy dirrty drum & bass, insert an 80’s style rock ballad and hold it all together with lasers… and you’ve just about worked out what’s going on in the first four tracks.
they are nuts. i love them because this is what I reckon music will sound like in a thousand years time. go to their myspace, you might hear a snippet of the bonkers-ness.
the best song is track 8 - "THE mARTIN SHOW!!"
but my favourite lyrics are from track 9 - "Uncle Chicken's drag rag" :
hang on! take care! don't fall!
i was born in wyoming
the name is uncle chicken cutter
keep it in your mind
see that mountain?
wyatt erp was hiding
see that ravine?
it was found in time of gold rush
cart continues running western free way
name is uncle chicken's cutter super preppy flapper cart!
seriously.
