Thelonious Monk songs played on Moog synths and run through a musical cuisinart. Fun, wacky, goofy ... a very Esquivel! kind of retro-futuristic sound, a '60s go-go feel.
Other influences listed in the liner notes: Isao Tomita, Wendy Carlos, Bonzo Dog Band, and Roger Powell, the keyboardist for Todd Rundgren's Utopia.
Big fun, impossible not to crack a smile, especially if you're familiar with the originals.
1- Mid/fast surf music
2*- Fast and rolling, with perky duck sound
3*- Loungy soft shuffle
4*- Gloopy and cartoony
5- Drifty and romantic (in a Moog way)
6- Fast; Christmas-at-Macy's organ
7- Squawky, with Hawaiian guitar!
8- Circus-y, spacey, mid/fast
9**- Groovy fast, like the Batman TV theme, with some Moog theremin. Dance, dammit!
10*- Mid/fast, crunchy beat, silly Munchkin voices
11- Big rockin' blasts, goofy banjo pauses
12- Bumpy jungle chaos
