Piano Magic
Music For Annahbird
Bad Jazz

Jim Wirth

 


Retro-futurists ahoy! for the benefit of those not in the know, that means Piano Magic sound a lot like Kraftwerk in the early 70's, while "Music For Annahbird," a rudimentary little electronic riff thoughtfully plastered with cyber tweet-bird noises is unashamedly about a year long.
More interestingly, flipside "Music For Wasps" comes with the following interesting communique from Bad Jazz HQ : "Humans only make music for humans because only humans buy music. Wasps don't buy music so no-one makes music for them. It's all so bloody unfair." From the tune within it we can infer that wasps are big fans of Brain Eno's "Another Green World."
