Notes:
With a cradle in one hand and a taser in the other, that is how Walrus Prison delivers her X-Mas gifts unto you. Leftover MP3 compression and faux-music are assaulted and haunted by blasts of sparkling noise. Saccharine zones of fun are inverted into ugly washes of hard sludge. Its like a strip mall where every other store is replaced with a fire that never goes out, or if the government replaced a puking dog with a birthday cake. In keeping with the tradition of James Amoeba recordings begun in 2001, this release was made using sound as a raw material for digital manipulation, exploring the infinite variety of noises that computers are capable of churning out. Those sounds have been organized, atomized, and injected with freeze-dried Chinese folk instrumentals, bagpipes, Starcraft sound effects and ominous atmospherics.
