5.0 out of 5 stars A superb sound collage, November 6, 2007
By 
E. Fisher (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Champions of Wonder (Audio CD)
Oh Astro has done an exceptional job here. One need only hear "Hello Fuji Boy", "Snow Queen", or "Xanadu" to see this is the case. The tracks range from poppy mashups to glitch symphonies, with quirky tracks ("Robot Love I Love You", "Lucy Sees the Moon") acting as interludes.

The samples are reworked and tweaked extensively; sometimes so much as to be unrecognizable patches in the quilt of sound, sometimes less: Olivia Newton John, and Lionel Ritchie both appear, but in dramatically different form than the original.

The album owes a lot to Negativland and John Oswald, but it is to me much more musical and much more interesting than most of what those two exceptional artists put out. Hello Fuji Boy, in my ideal world, would be the #1 single on the pop charts right now.

The world might not meet my ideal, but this album sure does. Get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than GirlTalk (label mate), November 22, 2008
This review is from: Champions of Wonder (MP3 Download)
I love GirlTalk, but this album from Oh Astro, although not as dancey, is more song structured and a more well realized piece of work than any of the GirlTalk albums. Again, I love GirlTalk, but this is divine. Check out Hello Fuji Boy and try not to get hooked.
