What a hoot! Consider they should look down upon the masterpiece “Picture At An Exhibition”. Don’t make me laugh out loudly.
ZOFFY are a comical duo founded by two Acid Mothers Temple residents Makoto KAWABATA and Atsushi TSUYAMA. They’ve released some albums since 1998 and their newest album “Picture At An Exhibition” released in 2010 is a real parody of that masterpiece in progressive rock scene.
As honestly I say, very terrible and disgusting work. However, believe me this serious phrase is exactly applause for Makoto KAWABATA and Atsushi TSUYAMA, two mad music scientists. At first, what can you feel when you hear the title? I’m afraid you can think they’d played something like Picture At An Exhibition. No! No, no, no! I’ve got mad to death just since I listened to this album. Not only they made this renowned creation funny but also they played their original stuff (with a flood of silly explosions).
A bunch of joke and trivia they’ve shot and we can be knocked down completely. With spacey electronic misleading and somewhat acoustic comfortable guitar medication, the two crazy guys kick our a$$. Only mysterious flute sounds can get to be salvage for us. The last “Nutrocker” may be worthless for us to listen to. Absolutely understand a fan of real Picture At An Exhibition cannot understand at all. We should listen to this horrible album with readiness or resignation.
Let me say, I give this stuff 0 star hahhaha. Hell yeah!

1. Pictures At An Exhibision Part 1 (18:58)
