Hot Pants Idol

a review by Kevin of
release format Hot Pants Idol by David Toop (CD Album)

text

The outer limits of music and consciousness are fearlessly explored upon Hot Pants Idol (Barooni). A captivating extrapolation of estranged literary exoticism, the multiple layers of sound and meaning are sumptously displayed like hallucinatory veils, as a fictitious netherworld is sculpted into a global surreality. Narrator David Toop and a supporting cast of sympathetic musical nomads (Jon Hassell w/ Spirit World, Paul Schütze, Bill Laswell, Talvin Singh, Russell Mills/Undark, Scanner, Amelia Cuni/Werner Durand, Rhys Chatham, Witchman, Tom Recchion, Sarah Peebles, John Oswald, Daniel Pemberton and Slipper) meticulously amplify the sound of independent mindstates but miraculously produce a cohesively seductive jackanory for opium eaters on a diet of Paul Bowles and Max Ernst.
