Album Notes & Community Reviews

Satirizing the booming easy-listening market, the master of musical mayhem brutally deconstructs polite parlor music with a barrage of bizarre sound effects and calculated dissonance. The chaotic orchestrations ruthlessly parody high-fidelity audiophile culture and conventional pop sentimentality.

Descriptors: atmospheric, technology, conceptual, novelty
