Review

CMJ (7/5/99, p.26) - "...mixing samples and loops with live guitars, drums, horns, saws and other odd instrumentation....this album is a crackling conceptual collage of ambient noise and pop that tells the tale of Nomad, a boy created by a man and a machine..."

Title Note

The Music Tapes includes: Julian Koster, Robbie Cucchiaro.

Additional personnel: Jeff Mangum, Will Hart.

Few words can adequately prepare a listener for The Music Tapes' oddball FIRST IMAGINARY SYMPHONY FOR NOMAD. The album sounds as though a group of drug-bemused and slightly deranged elves went back in time and attempted to remake "Smiley Smile" on Thomas Edison's recording equipment.

The Music Tapes is the mission of Julian Koster, the multi-instrumentalist (he lists musical saw as one of his instrumental proficiency) member of Neutral Milk Hotel. Filled with brief but catchy songs and a host of strange sound fragments, this aggressively lo-fi disc is seamlessly segued together into a composite whole. But all is not weirdness for weirdness' sake--read the accompanying insert and you'll find this album's very human and melancholy heart.
