It's by Lesser. Sort of a jokey phased out 70's jazz funk disc skipping
thing. It's on the American Experience" CD/12". Those guys (the whole VC
crew) are definitely aping Popp, whether serious or not. Lesser and some
other blokes put out a 2CD called (pretentiously enough) 'Disc' which is
just 2 1/2 hours of skipping CD crap with no rhyme or reason. Pure
emulation. Total garbage. But the Lesser stuff, however prevalent his humor
may be, is pretty great, sort of a shut-in's version of a Spymania record,
assembled from samples of all of the horrid rock bands he was in over the
years. Someone had to do it... Hrvatski.
