On the way home from a mini-tour of the west coast Otto Von Schirach crashed his land craft and broke both of his legs badly. Special doctors were called in. They dissasembled and rebuilt him; installed titanium, screws, cables, and microchips. He woke up not knowing his name. He sat in a white room in wheelchair for 6 months feeding on nothing but painkillers and new music. A new Otto emerged. More aware, more polished, more robotic. Boombonic Plague is chock full of pop-music. Mutated, vaguely familiar voices litter the beats asking 'do you really want it?', commanding 'shake that ass bitch and let me see what you got', and boasting 'boom i got your girlfriend' like a Brittney Spears collage on a serial killer's wall. Okay, so it's not pop music... It is hip-hop, or more appropriately, sitar-funk-hop. It is electro booty from the Miami side. It is drill (or some other power tool) and bass. It is shifted hardcore. It is junkyard broken (leg) beats. Otto says it's IDM. We don't know what to call it, but we like it and we think you'll dig it too. As the title implies, Boombonic Plague is the first installment in the Chopped Zombie Fungus Trilogy. It will be genetically spliced with the two following volumes -- Pelican Moon Dance and Ear Juice Synthesis to form one Chopped Zombie Fungus compact disc for your listening pleasure. Until then, enjoy this introduction to the new(ly reconstructed) Otto.
