Album Notes

"There's something that I like about your music and I admire the focus and drive you have for creating it. I do appreciate your sense of humor too. I actually enjoy listening to it. It's good stuff and the world should hear it but unfortunately the world is brainwashed right now. Keep sending the wild stuff boy! Also, I would love to get a D.E.M.I. If there are anymore available."
-Steve Vai

"It's like Stravinsky, only CRAZIER!"
-Trey Spruance, Mr. Bungle

"...freakishly entertaining...that stuff sounds fantastic."
-Mike Keneally

"You MUST check out Sir Millard Mulch.  The De-Evolution of Yasmine Bleeth is one of my favorite CD's.  I can't stop listening to it   It's insane, and I mean that in a good way.  And most importantly, it rocks.  Really cleverly written songs delivered with some incredible playing, high energy and a great sense of humor."
-Dave Meros, Spock's Beard

Besides founding and single-handedly operating the cult record label Ed Furniture, Sir Millard Mulch has done a few other things during his 25 years on planet Earth. You may think that this Linux-loving mutant has nothing better to do than sit around, ego-surf and self-publicize all day, and you're right. Being an accomplished guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, vocalist, producer, music theory-genius, composer, and graphic artist, his multi-instrumental and multi-media wizardry has earned him artist endorsements with both Suzuki (makers of the Q-Chord) and Steinberg (the makers of Cubase). He recently returned from a 2-week US tour as the musical guest on an unofficial and very special travelling broadcast of Coast To Coast A.M. (the show was hosted by Dr. Plutonium Wilson in Ian Punnet's absence, who was in turn hosting the show in Art Bell's absence.) He hated the movie Man On The Moon.

He has collaborated on oddball side-projects with both Devin Townsend (of Strapping Young Lad, Ocean Machine, Punky Bruster and Vai's Sex and Religion fame) and Victims Family. His fourth full-length CD release, The De-Evolution of Yasmine Bleeth will feature the Swedish drumming of Morgan Agren (known for his work with Frank Zappa and the Zappa's Universe Band.) He is one of the forefathers in the re-discovery of a revolutionary machine revealed at the 2000 New York Music & Internet Expo known as D.E.M.I. (Device to End the Music Industry) that will ultimately lead to the demise of both Microsoft and Napster. He once carried Ani DiFranco's guitar, among other things, thanks to Chris Higgins. His piano rag masterpiece, "15 Interesting Things To Do With Tiny Chairs II," will be featured on the upcoming Toxic Avenger IV: Citizen Toxie soundtrack, along with Wesley Willis. The film will be released later this year by Troma Films.

He composed most of the soundtrack for, as well as acted in, Project Omicron...that crazy film by Jared Whitham. His band was hated so much at Dragoncon 1999 by Claudia Christian that she walked on stage and led the sex-crazed comic-book afficionado audience in an overt "get the hell off the stage" operation. His flawlessly-executed stage-shows have been so far-out that five hundred Frank Zappa fans have boo'ed him offstage. Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle has loudly proclaimed (with swift somatic gestures) his music to be, "Fucking Crazy."

He was once asked to appear as a guest on a really awesome album, but then ended up not being on it. He doesn't tell many people what album it was or who was making it or why he ended up not being on it. He still has the letter though, and is still a bit confused.

His music has been an influence on such bands as The Banana Boat Smell and UFOrkestra, both of which he has never met or heard. Ruta Sepetys (LIT and Steve Vai's manager) says that he is "Unbelievably creative," but that doesn't mean he'll be quitting his day job any time soon. He once served scones to Stephen King while working in the cafe at Barnes & Noble, and felt the urge to run the author over with his mini-van in an attempt to alter his future. Ironically, the author was run over by someone else's mini-van weeks later.

REVIEWS

Dazzlingly musical GM (no, not genetically modified...) tomfoolery
author: Big Faced Boy
This album was in my car cd player for weeks from the moment I got it. Okay I may have attracted some very odd looks whilst driving through populated areas listening at volume, but if they don't appreciate the talent on display and the insane cheap-sounding GM midi capers that make it work, then balls to em. In my view, the closest thing to this is Cardiacs (speed-rock madrigal-style songs/I doubt Millard has ever heard of them). Huge 'ups' to Millard on the insane chord modulation and generally over-qualified musical tomfoolery. This isn't really 'girl' music... in fact I'd go so far as to say it's the sort of thing that'd drive most women round the bend.

I found this album to be intellectually stimulating and highly entertaining. It enriches my ears with a different flavor of music, devoid of the usual predictability of common everyday music on the radio. It's nothing other bands would cover or imitate because the keyboard part would take way too much time to learn, or compose from scratch. One would have to take a couple frustrating years of useless 17th Century counterpoint and quit before doing a fine job as Sir Millard Mulch. In conclusion, the album is fun for parties, family gatherings, and music you play on your first date.

Sir Millard Mulch's 50 Intellectually Stimulating Themes From a Cheap Amusement Park...definitely kicks the synapses into high-gear. Millard's talent exposes a unique view into a world where most people fear to tread. His keyboarding invokes a delerium-like trance state that surgically removes the day-to-day illusory fabric of "reality". A self-identified android, Millard is one to follow into unknown worlds teeming with oddities and spooks that would simply crush the common man's psyche. His music is not for the faint-hearted or dull and is especially enjoyable when preparing for corporate job interviews, filing police reports against the neighbors, or driving at high speeds in a rental car. Definitely a musician to keep both eyes and ears on. Highly recommended!
