This
cannot be classified. You can try to pin a tag on it, but, alas, you
will fail. There's elements of everything on this CDR - although I
suppose that's no surprise from a band on the bizarre Slutfish label.
Songs like "Navigator" and "Impartially
Fiber-Banana" are pure tidbits of psychedelia - insane
psychedelia, I admit, but psychedelia nonetheless. In fact,
"Impartially Fiber-Banana" wears its Jimi Hendrix influences
right on its sleeve. Meanwhile, "Forbidden Planet" wouldn't
feel at all out of place on a Frank Zappa or Captain
Beefheart record. These pieces are obviously the byproduct of some
hallucinogen usage; I don't think any non-drugged person could come up
with anything this screwed up. Yet, the songs are still enjoyable, as
they wear their melodies and sense of funkiness right on their
sleeves.
One day, I took this album into an art studio and played it at full
volume. What was the result? About ten people asking me, "What
the fuck is this music?" I just grinned, looked them in
the eyes, and said, "It's the JFK Jr. Royal Airforce."
