Insane Knot Tie Soars

That’s two things besides an unrealistic sentence. As a pun on Insanitizers it emphasizes that a local impresario calls us INSANE-a-tizers. It is also the name of our new Amazing Album. It is available as a physical commercially duplicated CD album or a digital download album, at Insanitizers.Bandcamp.com, Insanitizers.com, Amazon etc., and streaming on all platforms on Feb. 8, 2023. Every track is a new recording and will energize you to success.

This photo represents the album. An adaptation of it is printed on the disc.

Here is the track listing with our comments.

01 Bold Renegade. Reflecting its Zorroistic theme, “this bold renegade carves a Z with his bladeā€¦” it starts and ends with triple slashes. During the bridge section are guitar whip lashes you may need headphones to hear, no muscle strain involved.

02 Dazzled. Motivated by big band classic “Big Noise from Winnetka” but its melodies are not similar. What is similar is unusually expressionistic percussion. For part of this song the melody (lead) is carried by a growling funky twangy guitar in the bass range.

03 Twang Shake The entire melody is played on one mysterious extra-twangy guitar. Twangs are measured in units of Eddies, one twang is one Eddy, two twangs is Twain Eddies.

04 Waterfall Barreling Splashy surf, over the falls in a barrel, overarched by a psychedelic bridge

05 Dark Eyes. A classic Russian folk song. The literal translation of the name from Russian is “Black Eyes” but here it’s all mystery, no trauma. Our energetically rocking version has no overlap with the Welkish arrangement of this song by The Ventures.

06 The Lost Rescue. Surf guitar original with a Mendelssohnian feel. Yup, that’s spelled right.

07 Dance Like a Robot. Features up-and-down glissando slides. Fun mechanoid metal man, not metal music. Think Kryten from Red Dwarf.

08 A Day in Tokyo. As intended, it sounds Japanese but we don’t know why it does, it just does. Beautiful echo tones.

09 A Night in Vienna. Polka, March, and Surf take turns on an Austrian carousel. Vienna is supposed to be a hotbed of espionage and carousels. A hotbed of carousels?

10 The Space Force. The actual Space Force only wishes it had as magnificent a theme.

11 Jaws on Bald Mountain. Beyond Bald Mountain, tied onto the back of a horse, in the middle of the night, clothesless (please note the discretion).

12 Love in Purgatory. Heart-tugging melody introduced by harpsichord and continued on gorgeous guitar tones.

13 GooglEyes. Jolly and bouncy. Yes you’re feeling lucky today.

14 Rocket Pack. Beyond Telstar.

15 Stunt Pilot. Beyond Ghost Riders

16 Waterboard. Beyond sanity.
