Review of Beware Of Shortcuts!

Sweet treats and twisted tricks combine and collide in "Beware of Shortcuts!"
I confess to a taste for Peter Bochan?s particular brand of cultural cuisinart audio. Here his encyclopedic archive and gift for wild juxtaposition are turned to things that go bump in your radio. Bochan folds sound on sound, like the layers of a samurai sword, achieving unexpected results and subtle resonance.
This mix is an unalloyed joy and could beat like a giddy, re-animated heart in a beaker at the center of any Halloween programming.
