Infinite Number of Sounds - "Time Wants a Skeleton" @ Score! Music Magazine

	Infinite Number of Sounds - Time Wants a Skeleton
	Location	Cleveland, OH
	Initial Impression	I'm always wary when a band uses the word "experimental" to describe their sound.
Notable Lyric	"These are Velvet Boots". It's a line from the track of the same name. You just gotta listen to appreciate.
Factoid	They give thanks to "shemales and dead guy of Dayton" - and I don't think that's the name of a band.
Serve With	The performance art vis-a-vis visual accompaniment to their music during their live performances.
Comments	Admittedly, this is a difficult review for me to write. I'm a fairly traditional rock girl, able to appreciate quality in variety but unable to adopt it as my own, not in the realm of experimental/techo/electronica/etc. That being said, nothing on this CD annoyed or irritated me or my oft-present hounds. I was thoroughly entertained by the sped-up vocals in "Book of Destiny", bringing to mind Scrat, the acorn-deficient sabertooth squirrel of Ice Age, and I found myself grooving to the almost industrial guitars during the second half of "Disfingered". Likewise in "Emojoe" and "Tiny Spiders in my Hair" (the mere title makes me shiver in revulsion), where the one vocal sample reminded me of a robotic voice from an old cheesy sci-fi flick. "The Modulator", "Rogue Jackass" (what's with the duck noises boys?) and "Return of the Mad Barber" kicked in with some 80's grooves, Herbie Hancock-ish, where the act of one word is repeated so often that it becomes a non-word, just a strange grouping of syllables. "Ignorant Bad Man" adds some horns, an Art of Noise, black and white pulp fiction private dick film vibe, which is supplemented by a little kid saying "Bad Man" in an accusing high-pitched tone and a woman repeating "You're just trying to fuck with my mind" before a gunshot and subsequent gasping sounds bring the track to its eerie but effective conclusion.
