Approximately 2500 copies sold. Another one of those strange names - this one alluding to a nursery toy from before the Great Flood. And the band doesn't disappoint. Ripping the stuffing out of the underground scene and borrowing cues from the irreverant humour of Coldcut, ARH is the promising new face of Australia's dance future. Paul Wain and Susan King are neither DJ as god figures nor turntable musos.
Samplers can do wonderful things.
Crank up Music for the Odd Occasion and hear the amazing variety of rhythms and sounds that ARH have created from random vocal snippets, bits of noise and old songs. It's disarming, distracting and utterly brilliant. Dj's Here are all over the record. Electronic sample city. Paul Wain, Susan King, and Ollie Olsen chop up, reverse, layer, and fade in and out television and radio broadcasts, found sounds, movies, vinyl, and CD's, thereby constantly changing the aural pictures.
