Anorexia Gas Balloon

Interesting sounds full of a wide range of musical influences such as jazz, hip-hop, rock, etc. Quoting some reviewers who put it best, “Satanicpornocultshop is far more than a weird hiphop collage tribe from Osaka. They are the latest absurdists; it's as if Fluxus were spying on pop music hits from 80's and vice versa. Slightly satirical with a fancy for disco and ultimate grooves, limitless and tasteful musical culture and new technology know-how, they brilliantly summarize all current musical trends with great humility.” This album is definitely NOT for the faint of heart. There are 2 extremes when listening to it: you either try to make sense of all the sounds that are being played and focus on that or play it as background music.

the good: breaking new ground in terms of music; not following any type of pattern
the bad: if new and odd sounds are not you're thing...avoid
the ugly: lovely lady on the back sleeve with 2 penises
potty-mouth tracks: none detected
