Review

And now for something from the genetically modified world of Devo, from the man who makes the music for The Rugrats, Mark Mothersbaugh. Joyeux Mutato originated as a sound installation for a commercial venture someplace in Los Angeles, and it plays equal parts runway show and holiday Muzak cross-wired by Mothersbaugh's eccentric wit and arch sense of humor. Perfect for hip holiday background music or as a warm-up for that next house-music Christmas party, Joyeux provides occasional holiday tune melodies and mixes them into Mothersbaugh's sonic snowscapes layered with clicks, buzzes, and other sound gadgets. Mothersbaugh, who wrote, performed, and produced all the material, says in his liner notes--complete with drawings and warped mini-Christmas stories--that "this album is for anyone who has ever been traumatized by the Christmas season and is intended to provide solace and shelter from the ensuing onslaught of overheated holiday situations." Maybe he should start reviewing Christmas records, too. For those who would acquire a taste. --Martin Keller
