5.0 out of 5 stars cutting butter, April 1, 2001

By A Customer

Let's see..

Track 1: title track. This one is the track that is found on the ScratchHappyLand promo 10" and the Scratchcratchratchatch mixtape. It's totally out there. Kid Koala mixes the theme from the Last Emperor with Cantonese dialogue from his collection. The dialogue is a conversation between a waiter in a Chinese restaurant and a diner discussing what's on the menu. Genius!

Track 2: Space Cadet. Really spacey (as per the title). Not found anywhere else except on this 10". Great track, but hard to describe.

Track 3: Barhopper 3. If you've heard the "Barhopper" tracks on Kid Koala's Carpal Tunnel Syndrome LP, this track travels down the same road. The setting is a guy in a bar trying his best to pick up a female patron with terrible pick up lines. "Would you like to come up to my place and listen to some albums?" Hehe.

Track 4: Bugs n' Beats. A great track if you're gonna scratch this 10". Lotsa skratchable bug noises. Weird.

Overall, this 10" is worth it if you're a big Koala fan. If you've never seen Koala live, you're missing out! The tracks on this 10" vinyl are gold, especially the title track. This is a must have if you enjoyed Koala's Carpal Tunnel Syndrome LP.
