No.1770
GAJOOB Review by Bryan Baker, 4/1/1989:
Begins with some computer lingo– two tracks, one distorted. The next piece has a harmonica plaintively whispering on top of the shaking of steel sheets. The next piece has a vocal line I can’t explain, over a sort of muffled bass. Steel percussion returns for the next piece with a bass lingering in and out of the background. Then there is a piece which features distorted guitar which sounds like it’s being played by tapping on the strings instead of picking; no, maybe there’s two guitars, one tapped and one not. As you can see, CHODA keep it fairly simple. However, they manage to keep it interesting. Towards the end of the first side there’s a nice piano with a vocal line heavy on the philosophy, “Life is jello, so it goes; gravity sucks, entropy blows.”
