I’m late reviewing this duo of Ed Chang and Motoku Shimzu because I’ve been enjoying it too much. Fun this is: gizmos, turntables, tape, guitars, clarinet and samples. Most folks don’t use this stuff for fun; they are too serious and dress themselves and their discs in black. These guys (well, guy and gal) take you to a sonic amusement park which is no joke, but the risk-taking is more than worth the trip. As the liners say, “Unauthorized duplication is a violence of apples and loons.” True, but you also would miss the nifty flying saucers, toys and drawings on the cover. I love this record.
