Review of viral symphOny

Review of
viral symphOny
JOSEPH NECHVATAL
LABEL: IEA

I've played 'viral symphOny' several times, and all I've got to say is "WOW,
HUH?,Uh Oh, Geeze, YIPES, Duh oh!" Of my 1,000 CDs, this one stands alone. I
don't have any category that could include it.

At first I thought it might blow up my stereo, and turned it down, thereby
missing some of the, shall I say "subtle" moments. Then I checked out the
system to see if it had been infected with the "virus". It seems not too
worse for wear.

Upon replays, I was able to overlook the moments that reminded me of getting
a root canal, and appreciate the interludes of what a computer might feel is
what we refer to as melody. Other moments reminded me of being blind drunk.
That made me feel kinda sorry for the poor computer. I asked myself if the
virus made it sick. Hum, what's the cure? Anti-virus???

Some of the "musical moments" reminded me of Jimi's "Axis Bold As Love"
title "EXP", and other parts reminded me of Pink Floyd's "Umma Guma" title
"Grooving in a cave…" so all in all, I guess the computer is on the right
track.
