apparently a german band,this cd sounds like boards of canada vs
funkstorung mixed by mouse on mars..
i heard this in rough trade,and bought a copy after hearing 2
tracks...really nice electronica with tunes,melodies..the kinda stuff
everyone will rush out and buy(on payola records through
virgin..germany)

1.my dog eats beats.mid paced bleeps/blurps with a nice high acidic
line,clattery percussion and some nice gated vocals...and a delicate
piano melody...
2 gulls galore    overloaded beats with simple analog sounds,chimey
notes and nice melodies..like the listenable aphex stuff out there
somewhere...
3 dolphin dos..a little autechre as it develops from chattery percussion
and the melodies twitch and change....
4 pigeon party..funky beaty then breaks into a kinda latin lounge
thing..
5 delay dackel..very boards of canada/bola tinged ..nice beats,organ
melodies
6 crabcraft..starts off by sound like a cheap keyboard preset
pattern,then breaks into great boc/bola tune/melody etc etc...nice...
7 rocket in the pocket nice bouncy tune,a little twitchery here and
there...kinda mid 80's sounding.
8 bee queen. nice quiet tune with some twitchery percusion,probably the
most melow tune on the album..quite like mouse on mars...

an excellent album(even though it cost a lot)..if all their stuff is
like this,they should be as well known as boc,ae,bola etc etc...about
45mins total....
