Wow I totally forgot about this record. A little dated but it still sounds
dope. Sorta electro dub or something. That first track is sick. Thanks for
reminding me.

I have to respectfully disagree. I think Musipal is the weakest Wagon
Christ yet. It sounds like the leftovers/cutting room floor stuff from Big
Soup and Tally Ho. It sounds like the half realized tracks Luke was making
which lead up to the much more cohesive and flowing stuff on the mentioned
albums. So many of the same samples, so many garden variety Vibert amen
and apache tweaks that don't really shine. I think actually he's sort of
stuck in a rut. He keeps doing the same thing. Only not as infectious as
the first times around. And add insult to injury one of the tracks on the
album was previously released on another compilation or something. I know
we've had this debate before but I wish he would surprise us and make an
uptempo record again. Or maybe he could give us some nicely done kitsch
garage tracks! :)
