| REVIEW |
January 20, 2003 This is a strange CD and certainly not for everyone. I picked this up in a trade and have no idea where you can buy a copy. I actually enjoyed this CD but it's not for everyone because several of the tracks could be described as pornographic due to their lyrics and sound effects. Track 1 is pretty straight forward and except for the added screams could have been sampled from an Ifukube score to one of the Godzilla movies. Track 2 comes off like a heavy metal backing track to a porno film including the sounds of a woman having sex. Track 3 starts off with some dialogue from a Godzilla movie and then turns into a very funky track that reminds me of 70's music. A pretty nice instrumental track with a snippet of dialogue saying "Monster Island". Track 4 is the longest track and starts off with some dialogue and then turns into a futuristic, synthesizer sounding track. The woman's lyrics throughout the track make it the most pornographic of the bunch. Track 5 is a drum heavy, metal sounding track with sampling from a Led Zeppelin tune with a woman moaning in the background. Track 6 is again a familiar Ifukube track complete with Godzilla sound effects and added screams. The final track, # 7, is the 2nd longest track on the CD with a bit of a mid 70's feel. It features a female chorus in the background and actually is quite mellow for the first part and then picks up a little heavier beat. A really nice sounding track similar to something you might hear from Edgar Froese or Tangerine Dream. |
