"Another exotic and mysterious musical trip around the world from world / groove freaks CONUNDRUM.

author: James Robinson
                            
This one of a kind cd remains a deeply relevant musical/sonic creation that still sounds fresh and totally unique 4 years after it's original release. No cultural stone is left unturned as conundrum ivites you along on their beat drenched sonic journey. Long(at least a double album), moody, and at times baffling, there are surprises around every corner. New beat/sound combinations take life. It is slightly akin to being drugged, kidnapped, and dropped in a back alley of Indonesia, or the Gobi desert, with a tape recorder, transistor radio, analog delay pedal, and a really old version of pro tools. A lo fi culture clash- like a DJ syncing 4 boomboxes and dictaphone and 2 turntables with cameos from the cast of the United Nations- naked and tripping. Beautiful original artwork and packaging.
