about

The fifth album from The Molecules recorded in 1997/98 but not released until 2007. Twenty nine (holy shit!) tracks of prog/punk/noise/odd time signatures and mean spirited satirically vocals with a bad attitude. There are some “sensitive” moments so you can catch your breath, but for the most part be prepared to have your brain melted and your face ripped off. John Shiurba enters The Molecules team on bass/vocals, with guest appearances from Carla Kihlstedt (pre-Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) on violin and Aurora Rising on voice. But wait, there's more a second DVD disc is enclosed that has live video of all three versions of the band 1990-1998, with bonus video creations from 99 Hooker.

"Part musical genius and part delirious madman, when you're listening to Anderson's music you're never quite sure whether you're listening to the ravings of an insane musical genius or the genius moments of a totally unschooled dilettante."Deep Fry Bonanza
