Enter The Crackbird... is quite the trip. A batch of 17
tracks by DJ Cider Sigh and the Pisces Abyss, this is a disc of
odds n' ends liked by the artist's fans on IRC. It's a weird selection
of drum-machine/synth/guitar/etc stuff with mostly spoken vocals laid
on top. There are interesting elements to this material, like the
atmospherics and bizarre beats of "The Crackbird Has Cometh" and the
computer voices of "inda Myspacey", but it's not very cohesive and
quite amateurish. I like certain things on this disc, but as a whole
record it's a bit much. For the truly adventurous collector of audio
strangeness, Enter the Crackbird... might garner a look;
otherwise, this thing will likely be limited to the artist's IRC
fanbase exclusively. Perhaps it's best left summarized by the last
track's title: "You'll Download Anything".
