Certainly a bad choice by me to do a review of, as it gets a thumbs down (1.4 on my 1 to 3 scale). My suggestion was driven by my hearing Let's Go ******* Mental when I was posting this selection as one of the weekly new releases. Found it very interesting. Wasn't crazy about it, but it did grab me and still does. This album is largely instumental/sound affects. Even though most tracks do have some vocals, they are somewhat background and most distorted or echo chamber sounding, leaving to a lot of indecipherable stuff. Some of the music is quite hypnotic, and not bad. Sadly the best thing for me was that last track of Felt Tipped Pictures of UFO's, which is not even a song per se, but a haunting melody fronted by clips of John Lennon trying to explain is Beatles are bigger than Jesus comment followed by some chick rambling on about that and other odd things. Anyone know who that is? Come on, gryphon has to know. Anyway that was pretty entertaining. Worst track was the instrumental White Music. Bottom line, no I would not buy this, nor does it entice me to hear any of the other 11 albums in the BJM catalogue. Maybe I better lay off the recomendations for awhile after this bomb. Sorry fellow members.
