As much as I respect the opinions of the naysayers on Makesaracket,
I have to say this may be the disk of the year for me so far.

My great-aunt Idonna, who lives in Arcadia, used to have a Poodle
called Gigi, and whose stereo came with a set of Longines Symphonette
records, has a wicked collection of bongo, cha cha, and hawaiian
cheese disks. One summer I was stuck at her house and worked through
them.
That stuff is the source material for a whole movement of
nouvo-cocktail music from groups like Combustible Edison here
in the US, and it appears that Mr. Mike has dipped into that
motherlode of weirdness for this disk. That goofy organ intro
to Megaphonk? imagine hearing it in an Orange County topless bar,
where my Aunt Alice, her of the lime green stretch pants and
Karen Carpenter fixation, played cocktail jazz for years.
I guess what appeals to me about it is that in some weird,
disgusting way, this Velveeta Iceberg is the roots music that
turned me into a teenage drug addict, and I can't help but love it.

It sounds like MP has made the rounds with his shoebox of DATS, and
wants to flood the market. Good on 'im.
