Coconut Monkeyrocket - Wtih Birds!

I've been too busy to do much posting, but I want to get the word out that the first official CD release by the amazing sampledelic project Coconut Monkeyrocket (aka Jason Emmett, the most talented former member of The Psychedelicatessen) is out, and it rocks like crazy. Imagine the music and sound effects of every Warner Bros. cartoon stirred up in a blender, set to a rackety dance beat and augmented with soothing vocal choruses off of old lounge records. There's some incredibly dense layering of samples on these tunes. You can hear tracks from the album at CocoMoro's website and myspace page, although I think there's even better stuff on the CD. Plus, you get a beautiful pair of Jason Emmett digital paintings on the CD cover. And it's just $10! DIRT CHEAP!

You can also download CMR's contribution to the compilation The Politics Of Photosynthesis: A Tribute To Stereolab (a freaked-out "Moogie Wonderland") from iTunes. I can't figure out how to link to an iTunes item, so just go here.
