Kid Koala - emperor's main course in cantonese

review by MAFU

This is a cool little 10" record I picked up at the local music shop. The thing that made me get it it was that it was written by one of my favourite persons david byrne. Who was the head hauncho of the talking heads and directed one of my favourite movies. The A-side is a fun orientialish sounding ADRish tune with lots of interesting samples and cute cantonese scratching. The B-sides really suprized me because they were at a 33 rpm even though the A-side was in 45. But I have to say they sounded pretty good at both speeds. One has a really funny conversation on the phone with a lady infatuated with a koala bear.
