Kramer's musical backing went from atmospheric and psychedelic to a twittering distorted mush, dovetailing into samples of answering-machine messages, television snippets and real world sound bites. The song "Dazed and Chinese" was an interesting Mandarin version of the Led Zeppelin classic and their album <i>Too Much Sleep</i> is a post-modern classic. Before their unpleasant parting, Bongwater's zany ramblings and noisy guitars were best seen live, eliciting a responsive energy from their instruments and audience alike. - Jessy TerryExperimentalen720Tue, 29 Dec 2009 23:37:03 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3943&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fbongwater%2Fplaylists.rss Bongwater -- an eclectic collaboration between guitarist/bassist Mark Kramer and actress/singer Ann Magnuson -- juxtaposed innovative musical experimentation and Magnuson's funny and scathing spoken word observations on life, New York and celebrity.
