MR. FLOPPY Firm And Fruity (Waterfront) Give an American kid a bunch of high tech music gear and he won't be able to figure out the instructions so he'll go back to trying to figure out how to play "Stairway To Heaven" on the guitar. Try it with an English and the first thing he'll do is run out and get a new haircut to go with the style. Give it to an Aussie, and what you get is rocking high tech songs about having sex with barnyard animals. Mr. Floppy use a drum machine for rhythm (and each song lists not the time duration, but the number of beats per minute that it's programmed for). They also use samplers, and beyond that there's some harmonica, recorder and banjo. Yet it comes out pretty rocking, although the drum machine makes it a little sterile for my tastes. Best part is reading the lp sleeve, which credits all music to Philip Glass, except tracks 1-8, which are all there is. It's a bit of a throwaway to spend import bucks on, but I've had some good laughs listening to it.

notes:

Australian band silverchair used the song Boring Fart from The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Dickhead for the intro on there first tour."There's a really underground kind of, not very popular, band in Australia that comes from Melbourne called Mister Floppy, and that's just one of their songs. And we just thoguht it was really good for an intro take 'cus it's kind of... it sounds serious until he says 'boring fart', and it kind of makes it a joke."
