A Meeting Of The Minds..........2006-03-03

I would like to finally give my review for this masterpiece. This a collaboration of two great minds in music. First up is the legandary DJ Disk who goes by the name of
Phonosychographdisk. The second, Bay Area avant-garde alien Adam Gates who in the past has worked with groups like Primus and now the current rhythm guitar player for the band M.I.R.V.

This album consits of three tracks the first is Madame Blavatski Overdrive which in the begining sort a cross early gabber and scratch turntable bass provided by Disk. The overall feel of the song remains constant until you reach one of the most well placed samples on any album. The notorious sample of Greg Turkington from the Great Phone Calls album berating a caller about his High School woes.

The song then shifts slightly away from the gabber feel and takes on a more sub-bass heavy induced like state, then out of nowhere the most squelchiest bass tone you will ever hear in your life kicks in and follows through until the voice of what appears to be a sample of a somewhat antiquated sounding house-wife telling her self that she "Will not tolerate this".

What is heard after this can only be described as pure ambient drone heaven that would make Richard D. James blush. A wave of innocent and soothing textures is placed one on top of another reminding the listener of the the craziness that had just transpired, but it's still not over the sound of a hand plucked Fender Bass is being gently strummed is heard in the foreground while the indecipherable chatter of what appears to be old stock footage of automotive and research technicians creates the perfect end to an amazing expirience in sound.

The next song is Chinese Opium Addiction 1927 which has a pretty consistant drum break throughout the whole song and should be more or less used as a battle track for scratching.

The third and final track "You're The Only One Around Here Who Knows What Mommy Wants" is a bass heavy medley with sporadic tinges of crazed Bollywood
cymbals and scarecrow screeches. The song then goes into an ambient like coma with on and off burst of an obscure quote from an unkown woman saying the title of the track over and over again. The song then shifts and goes back the same way it came in, with deep tearing sub-bass. drone and that infamous vocal sample.

Mooch The Moose: Smack Dealer To The Stars is a noteworthy achievment in avant-experimentalism and turntablism, underneath all of the crazy samples and odd drum patterns it's still an ambient record at heart. Plus it has the coolest looking cover and album layout ever created by none other than The Filthy Ape. As the quote on the inside jacker says "Lower Your Standards And Do More Drugs".
