Re: New CD Release: Music Unfit for Children

["Jim Goodin" <jimgoodinmusic@gmail.com>]

Kris this is a very cool almost like an 'Alice in Wunderland' record.  Have been streaming in the background at work and particularly like the Frisellian guitar work on one piece, not keeping trax of names just letting the Box player rotate, but particularly like what you are doing in that.  I also like the dense reverb giving that Alice down the rabbit hole feel plus the occasional crys.  Good stuff!

Here is my latest. I enjoyed making this CD more than any other in my discography. It reminded me how much fun it is to be a kid again. :)

 

"Forks on Lids" is probably my favorite, the only one with me playing guitar.  This image, also in the main CD page below, has a picture of all the instruments used on the CD. http://www.krispenhartung.com/music-unfit-for-children/tray-card.jpg
