Jad And Nao ‎– "Half Robot" (Paperhouse Records ‎– PAPCD 15) 1992


Only seventy-five tracks of childlike wonder from outsider primitives Jad Fair and Nao Ishimuri. I hesitate to say that everyone of them are wonderful shards of intellectual freedom,but ...they are?
Neither of the chief protagonists can be called genuine 'Outsiders' in the 'Outsider Art' category, but they sound like they are, and that's good enough for me.

The two are amazing and I'm loving their short songs. I'm going to revisit Half Japanese and go back and grab some of the Yximalloo posted here.

Many thanks.
