Stationary Odyssey and El Boxeo both contribute
interesting instrumental rock pieces to this split; to be fair, SO
uses a lengthy vocal part from somewhere or other - but all the melody
in this comes from the instruments. Having heard quite a bit
from Stationary Odyssey, I can say that this is one of their
more unusual pieces; it lays an odd beat under a repetitive
instrumental background. Melodica and toy piano add a certain
eeriness to the piece, while a weird instructional tape about medical
procedures plays on top. Strange stuff. El Boxeo
eschews the talking part and instead opts for a violin/bass/drums
track that is a little Celtic, but mostly just fun.
This 7" is a tad weird, but those interested in unusual but
not inaccessible avant-rock need to check it out. Only 250
copies made, so be swift!
