Lo-fi fuzz disco party!!! 11 tracks of fuzzy fuzzy fun fun fun. Packed into a funky, bright red clam-shell case with a FREE Super Distortion badge.
All the work of a bedroom producer who works under four aliases (four styles of music), on Pointy Bird Records.
The fuzz is provided by: Effector 13 Improbability Drive, Danelectro French Toast, Boss Mega Distortion, Line 6 Uber Metal and a half-working JSH Super Distortion, from which came the name.
The organ is a cute, bright red Nord Electro...yes, it sounds just like a Hammond organ. That's because the inventors took a Hammond apart, piece by piece and rebuilt it digitally with amazing attention to detail.
RESPECT to Link Wray, who has recently left us. He played distorted guitar back in 1958! And his music still serves as an example to modern musicians that rock and roll is best served raw!

Wiggy!
author: marc paskvan
(As they used to say...)
This is like the soundtrack to every low budget sci fi film from the late '50's-early '60's. If only the musician(s) could get ahold of some vintage guitar effects. His/her sense of melody is far out, mannnnn...
I liked the way they channeled Hendrix on "Galactic Plughole". Frank Zappa would have loved this album! You will too--think lo-fi Sci-fi with a surf/garage sensibility. Blast off!

Rockin' fun for the whole family.
author: Ben Marshall
This one brings tears of joy to an old geezer's eye - garage rock with a 60's surf flavour, wigging out with a who-gives-a-fat-rat's-crack exploration of melody. It's got everything - fuzz, organ, drums, effects! It's super distorted!! Plus you get a free unreadable badge!!! Anyone who picks faults with this one (wonky drumming? so?), or my use of exclamation marks, is a tedious prick who should just put U2 back on repeat and have a lie-down. Buy this CD because it'll make the lame dance and the depressed giggle. Sceptical? Look it up in the Oxford English Dictionary - "fun" = Super Distortion.

Honest "garage punk" album
author: Torben
This record has elements of punk and 60's garage rock as well as more modern electronic styles. It is quite primitive, yet it is very honest, has some nice grooves/riffs, and a style of its own. It does perhaps get a little monotonous at the end and the drumming shure won't win a price, yet I like it a lot. And it comes with a free badge ;-)
