Modified Toy Orchestra - This is the Monkey / Ode to Joy

This is the Monkey / Ode to Joy
This Is The Monkey is the first single from the MTO album TOYGO POP and is a major change in direction from the more abstract 'Toy.Riff.I.C' recorded for Static Caravan.
It's difficult to imagine such a wealth of strange sounds coming from just modified electronic toys.
Yet this ode to the primate in all of us is played entirely on a range of toys that have been scavenged from car boot sales and then circuit bent into new and strange instruments by toy conductor Brian Duffy. Its rare to hear an electronic record that has no traditional instruments, no sampler and no midi.
The result is impossible to categorise. File under Fun; Funky and Frightening.
