CURIOUS CORN

An improvement over "Become the Other", looks like new members Rad and Seaweed are now finally adjusted. Looked like the band had some financial troubles in the two years between albums because their Dovetail label seemed to have went belly-up, so they signed up with Madfish, a division of Snapper Records (a label, which the band would quickly find themselves in trouble with). I bought this CD in December 1997, which came with this pseudo-acid ink blotter (which was really a psychedelically distorted picture of the band performing on stage in silhouette). You pretty much know what to expect from these guys at this point: extended spacy jams, with some pseudo-techno experiments, with often a strong ethnic bent.

To me, I think this is one of their better albums with Rad and Seaweed, although it doesn't quite live up to the stuff they did when Joie and Merv were still in the band, this is still worth having if you're a fan.
