Hyphen-Smythe & Legacy of Ears The Hamburg TV Eye 004 C9O The Picnic Boys Music for Bathrooms TV Eye 005 C9O Hey, hey it's the Picnic Boys!! Again. For those of you who still haven't bought a TV Eye product 1 (at last count, well over 3,000,000 of you), you don't know what you're missing! I do and some of it's really good. It's not all absolutely Godlike, but what can you j expect over 180. minutes of i music? I mean, Side Two of The Hamburg (Say Yes . to Apes by Hyphen-Smythe) is 45 minutes of varied, neo-intelligent, not-very-self-indulgent-at-all songs all
recorded on one day. And only two days after Christmas! And that's not all!! The other half of The Hamburg (Eh? by Legacy of Ears) has almost twice as many songs, none of which make a hell of a lot of sense! And still you won't send your five bucks to 506 Queens Drive, Invercargill. OK, fine, right... try The Music for Bathrooms, allegedly the last C9O from the entire Picnic Boys. At first I didn't think it was quite as good as Here Comes the Jungle or Crumbs, It's A Pterodactyl, but then I turned it up considerably and its full glory was revealed to me in a quasi-religious moment of ecstasy! We 11... it sounded a lot better. Look, I think these monsters have a right to be bought. You risk five or so dollars, receive ninety minutes of medium-fi music which may well surprise you and if you don't like it, you can wipe it. Go on, I dare ya,
