Just found some copies of this hard-to-find LP release of what is still my favorite Melt Banana album ever, Cell-scape!
The crucial 2003 album from MELT BANANA is their finest ADD-infected blast of spastic grind/pop/prog to date, wethinks. Every song on Cell-Scape is a shredder, jammed up with monster blastbeat action, cheersquad cartoon-girl yelps, crazed synthesizers, MEGA CATCHY hooks, and cosmic guitar eruptions. MELT BANANA is one of our all-time favorite bands, so we can't help but gush. They embody EVERYTHING we love about music, and then some. Imagine hyperspeed power violence as played by anime cartoon characters on crack. Cell-Scape also boasts the best production job so far for MB, and it sounds righteous. We'd have to say this is the ideal MB album for novices to check out, it's the most accessible release so far, without losing any of the craziness and off-the-wall energy that makes them one of the greates bands on the planet!
