Black Boxes (#57)

Source here. Originally recorded on May 22nd, 1997.

I hesitate to say this is a completely muddled mess, because sometimes it just worked out that way. However, in this case we were working with a particular CD and everything just snowballed on itself. The CD was Des Incurables, by Disque 9. And it seemed to infect everything in the show with its off kilter chewy distorted craziness.

I mean, the whole thing is sort of nuts, even the perverse hip-hop stuff at the end.
  1. Maybe actually too much stuff going on at once
  2. Non-ICP Dark Carnival
  3. Jazz Fusion with occasional bursts of Metal
  4. Hand Cranked Distortion Pedal
  5. Guitar Meets Angle Grinder
  6. Brian Eno has a Clumsy Intern
  7. Crosstown Moped Muppet Traffic
  8. Mushroom Disco
  9. Tammy Faye Break
  10. Twitchy Creepy Talking Moment
  11. Put up the oars and get with the Lord
  12. Can't ford the Fjord in a Ford
  13. Rocking out with the Chorus
Added by Ian F-R:
I'm so glad to hear this show (and the Disque 9 itself) again. This is one of those records that haunts you for years as a lost unknown classic.
