"OK, first off, I'm prejudiced towards the Relijun. Seen em' whip up a froth and frenzy at Evergreen b'for they even made a record proper. This review is to let everyone who has or has heard Uterus and Fire in on a secret...Songbook Vol.1 has a manic freedom of expression that will be the blueprint for a new wave of swamp-raga-jazz.Where Uterus has a heavy intensity,the overall mood of songbook is spunk,joy,and mystery. Bryce behind the drums gives it all some deep SWING, man. The instrumental interludes act es experimental ear mints, setting you up for 'nothertrip. Fig is the postmodern pagan themesong..."Adam ate the apple, Eve ate the apple, I might eat the apple, but I think I'll take the fig" bloody brilliant. So do yrself a favor and git some Relijun,fast. Arrington also draws real well."
