GAJOOB,
June 30, 1992
A collection of tunes intended for release on 45s, but compiled
instead on this cassette. The two sides of the tape are divided
between side one's guitar-oriented and side two's synthesizer-oriented
Pop Rock. Susnara's style here is a little less to the left of center
than his wonderful BLACKLITE FOREST tape, and while the synth side
is mostly throw-away (by Susnara's standards), much of the guitar
side delivers some real gems. —Bryan Baker
IMPROVIJAZZATION
NATION #10
Dan Susnara: AL (45s) - Here's a really PRETTY tape from Dan, who
was in issue #9 with his BLACKLITE FOREST' tape. This gent has a
real talent & it literally SHINES on AL... his mission in (musical)
life seems to be to transport the listener back to an era (that
seemed to many of us to be) of hope. The 60s return from the dead
as you ride the beautiful guitar & vocal waves Dan spins for you.
More oriented to full-blown toonz this time 'round, I enjoyed this
even more than BLACKLITE. While not for the hardcore improv freakz
'mong us, if you want a sample of what happens when someone has
a retrospective musical vision of a whole era. —Rotcod Zzaj
