This week we've got the back catalogue from Danny Dark Records and there's some strange fruits here. I'm reviewing the triple CD by WALTER AND SABRINA entitled 'Chioma SuperNormal - The Dark Album. Its a weird and wonderful mix of spoken word ,strange eerie sounds, avant rock and modern composition. Its such an eclectic mixture of theatrical ramblings and verse that's it turns into a strange aural journey with each disparate section weaving into the next. Its getting a "pretentious" suggestion from elements of the office and the band do admit its "open to ridicule" but lets keep our judgmental hats in the drawer and appreciate this for all its innovation and bravery. They describe it as "A performance inside a theatrical room that is inside the bigger locked building that is Supernormal" So there. Also worthy of note is the fantabulous WALTER AND SABRINA PLAY POP WALTER AND SABRINA PLAY CLASSICAL which is them being more mainstream ????) kind of. Also we have a label taster called DANNY DARK RECORDS TASTER (contains audio and video). Sadness and Life By SABRINA and 'Chioma Sings Tales of Danny Dark' by DANNY DARK GROUP. Listen to the whole lot back to back and you'll end up chewing your own ear off.
