Press Reviews Frantic World Scenarios Indie Pop Newsletter 2 *MP3.COM DAM CD Review of the Week* Chris Fitts tofg - "Special Mp3 Retrospective" Almost one hour of listening joy with the master of weird little audiotales! Each song is some kind of Residents style pop opera. Sure there are the big hits Catching Bathtubs on Fire and Keep Gum Warm, but Chris Fitts gives us more: strange and spacy grooves, bleeps and distortions roam on perfectly arranged samples and beats. The only way to do the vocal tracks seems to be via long distance phone calls. Maybe its better that way, cos otherwise the weird lyrics would affect the listeners minds even harder... in the end Chris Fitts leaves us with the impression, that this guy could do perfectly charming radio pop too, if only that wouldn't bore him too much!
