Album Review
This is an intriguing, if bizarre, release. Over a period of a few months in 1991 (except for a couple numbers from June 1988) Amy Denio overdubbed herself on vocals, basses, guitars, alto sax, harmonica, alto recorder, bass mbira, organ, drum machine, and various household devices. The results are a sound collage that ranges from jazzy folk music to avant-garde sound explorations, with odd and barely understandable vocals punctuating the crowded ensembles. Overall it is a bit frivolous and self-indulgent — interesting in spots but not terribly listenable.

Love it, love it, love it
by AccordeonaireI couldn't disagree more with the "official" review above. Not only is this listenable, it's infectious. Denio's creativity comes through every track. Music is dense (in a good way), gnarled (in a good way), and, with the lyrics, a riot. I got this when it came out in the early '90s and still think of it as one of the essential recordings that came out of the KnitFac scene of the time.
