ALEJANDRA & UNDERWOOD : 
The Childrens Record CD (LUCKY KITCHEN)
>>>Press sheet from the Kitchen...<<< 

"Alejandra and Underwood recorded their friends singing songs they 
remembered from their childhood. Then they created electronic pieces 
reconstructing children's songs from records, internet websites, 
television, haunted house effects cds, and field recordings of kids 
playing. The tracks and the field recordings, like the "Love Album" 
before it, exist in a strange balance between reality and digital 
fantasy. In the June 1999 issue of the Wire Rob Young wrote an article 
featuring 
Lucky Kitchen. In the same issue Dave Howell of Fat Cat Records gave 
praise to our work saying it is "multicultural, urban, modern 
electronic folk." That was very nice of him. Overall we just have 
fun making this stuff, and we think there are some people out there 
who enjoy listening to it as well. The packaging is again hand-made, 
this time of hand-cut pink construction 
paper, addition/subtraction flash-cards, and hand-written cover. (Yes, 
we handwrote the covers, carpel tunnel action.) This full length CD is 
a solid joining of new electronic musical compositions and 
anthropological field recordings."
