Beware The Whim Reaper
Released and now Deleted, on Staalplaat 1995
"For all the lessons of ironists, Dadaists and Postmodernists, only a select few seem willing to value laughs. People Like Us value them in spadefuls. Beware the Whim Reaper is a sampler's and scanner's Eldorado, with all manner of pop cultural sources plundered for effect: Radio shows and kitsch 60's Easy Listening, found sounds, overheard conversations, all subjected to a malicious clown's fiendish tinkering and manipulation of texture and tempo... Wild but wonderful." -- Paul Stump in The Wire
