notes

Below is a review of the 'HANDY' CD written by an annonymous fan.

A CD with all of the spectrum of moods of the musical palette going way beyond eclectic and a few pages further than simply innovative. As the CD spins you will find the moods and spirits gathered together in the room pleasingly satisfied and cured of whatever ails them A wonderful journey through many places and spaces orchestrated within a energetic, unifying style highlighted with excellence and enthusiasm.

This recording is tempered by a clever understanding of the complex dynamics of any listening audience. The band makes clever use of transition, interlude and introduction as it goes from place to place within the musical minds of a diverse
audience.

The music is presented as a personal gift rather than simple recitation. The band does not merely play in styles, they live them and subtly flavor the music with their own living essence. Innovative musical textures created by exotic and invented
instruments makes this recording a crisp and refreshing contribution to the musical world.

    I hate CDs where are the tracks sound the same. Which is why I LOVE these guys!! Scott, you're "da man". Thanks for telling me about your CD!

  • My favorite CD!
    author: AJ

    This CD is my 2 1/2 year old daughter's favorite CD. She won't let me listen to any other music in the car. My one year old claps and smiles when he hears it. It is a great CD for parents as well since it's so different from all the other typical children's cds. We especially love the Money song, but they are all good.

  • Mind bending. Breath taking. Yet, not hazardous to your heath.

    I've never felt compelled to write a review for anything before until I got this CD... And I have lots of CDs. Fair enough? Look, you just got to hear it to understand. Sorry I'm not good with words, but if my whole CD collection got stolen, or something, and they left me just one, this would have to be it. Peace.

    Take a pound of didjeridoo, 2lbs of Celtic music, and 1.5 cups of Polka music, throw in two tablespoons of They Might Be Giants and a pinch of Weird Al Yankovic. Blend well on medium to high speed. Simmer in front of a live audience for 3 hours. Deee-lish!!!
