They're serious about it

"The title of this album is too long apparently to even fit in ... title field. It's "The Space Negros Do Generic Ethnic Muzak Versions of All Your Favorite Punk/Psychedelic Songs From the Sixties". I bought the LP in the 80's just on the strength of its title (which was explained on the back cover in a series of definitions, like "all your favorite: all our favorite"). I was delighted to find that it actually lives up to the title.Which means it sounds vaguely "not from around here" (but you can't pin down the ethnicity), is inoffensively low-key and instrumental, and covers songs like "Boris the Spider".Which is hilarious. But you have to bear in mind that it is muzak. So unless you want to feel like you're in an elevator in some very weird hotel, leave this one on the shelf."
