Pogo: Bangarang Review

He's done it again. Another dreamy track of wonder, that reminds you of your childhood and almost sends you into a trance. Surely soon someone important will recognise just how good he is, and give him some sort of deal? Illegal Art perhaps, the label that specialises in risky releases, like Girl Talk's output, that infringe on copyright? However in every interview I've seen he says he doesn't want to sell his music, he produces for the sheer fun of it; I find this approach admirable, but he definitely deserves a much bigger audience than he's currently getting. In the song itself, the samples he uses fit perfectly, and their manipulation sounds almost natural. What has become his signature use of "a custom sine wave bass" helps to hold the song together, and propel it to it's end, which I was dreading as I was enjoying listening to it so much. Hopefully soon we'll see some sort of full length effort, his myspace banner seems to suggest that he's working on songs based upon Winnie The Pooh and H.R. Pufnstuf, an American puppet based children's show from the late 1960's.
