REVIEWS

"Not Alzo Boszormeinyi's Afropop move, Ouagadougou is named for the capital of Burkina Faso but features mmore of the singer/songwriter's characteristically eccentric exurban-Virginian shambling and rambling. Expect largely tuneless, awkwardly funky first-person tales about ice-skating rinks, Playboy bunny air fresheners, and a Swedish girl who smoked Camels."
-- Mark Jenkins, Washington City Paper

"...Mostly things just fall apart, and that's all right -- it's part of the fun....Sometimes it seems so perfect and you can't recall exactly when."
-- Bryan Baker, Gajoob 'zine

"Another slice of life from Nut Music, the folks responsible for releases by Tony R. Boies, Terry Reed and Alzo Boszormeinyi, who (it sez here) have previously released a single from the sessions that produced Ouagadougou. Evidently inspired by visionaries like Don Van Vliet and Mark E. Smith, Alzo percolates with a tight looseness, shaggy and defiantly tuneless. Yes, it's "art music." No, you can't hum it. (You could yell it, I guess, but not out on the street where people might hear you.) And yes, it's self-indulgent crap that gets incredibly annoying after five minutes. But I'm too cool to admit that, aren't I?"
-- Jim Santo's Demo Universe
