Half-Handed Cloud - Halos and Lassos - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

With hints of fitness music and video game sountracks, InchHalos & LassosInch tromps through nineteen songs like a mostly sunny afternoon in Berkeley, CA, home of band leader John Ringhofer. With the modal purity of Moondog, symphonic elements of Gershwin's InchRhapsody in BlueInch, and the ancient art of punning, the album boasts pop melodies arranged around the ambidextrous Omnichord - a vintage 80's kidney-shaped electronic autoharp/drum machine/synthesizer. Biblical allusions, sophisticated theology, and lyrical displays of affection are measured by Ringhofer's indelible sense of humor. Album Tracks 1. Earth Outside of Ghost Will Only Be Quicksand 2.
