Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2006-04-03
Sampling of common sources, someone brushing their teeth, ice clinking in a glass, birds, crickets, flies or bees buzzing. Then mashing it up into semi-musical, somewhat electro music that sometimes has a beat to it, but is mostly avante experimentalism. The best one of course is the hidden track at the end where he samples a fart and lets it, um, rip. Strange stuff, for fans of those cds where the guy sampled the frogs or the local insects in SE Asia.

1) dramatic cinematic flare with rooster crowing, brief
2) techno dance flare but with sampled teeth brushing and a bouzouki sounding synth, complete with rinsing and spitting
3) brief intro of sorts to the following
4) waterfoul/amphibian feel, spacey and strange vocals
5) buzzing flies,
very outdoors
6) buzzing concentrated, with a
subtle beat, trippy
7) brief buzzing with playful pop melody
8) pensive percussion
9) slight tribal urgency with lots of looped bird calls and sounds
10) tribal drums with bird samples vaguely doing the melody to Greensleeves, strange
11) sample collage, rhythmic of ice cubes being dropped into a glass of water
12) very chill, slow beat, bass notes, ice cubes
13) cricket like sounds, with minimal melody, weird, this piece ends for all intents and purposes after ~6 minutes after getting very very quiet, then after 10 minutes (1:30 remaining) he samples a fart and does the same with his own fart. Um, yeah
