Sounds Like: a swarm of very unhappy bumblebees and a mad old analogue computer having a fight with a drummer.Don't worry, it's just an experiment, and one you can dance to too!!!!The Mushi's machine-gun electronic sound avoids any categorisation, but we'll try anyway: they are the missing link between Client and Devo, between Fugazi and the Chemical Brothers, between Man Or Astroman? and Add N to (X). It really shouldn't work but it does. go figure.
