If U.K. authors Evelyn Waugh or Kingsley Amis had ever decided to make music, then perhaps the result might've sounded like this: articulate, chaotically baroque carnival music that revels in its oddity. Digital snapshots of primitive analog sounds, The Little Red Songbook is a true curator's handbook of the jumble of images and cultural debris that is the end of the 20th century--26 songs that run the gamut from debauched electro-pop to sardonic medieval misanthropy to sophisticated techno lounge. Songs like "Harry K-Tel" and "Coming in a Girl's Mouth" mostly come in at under two minutes of credit-plated charisma, like effortless epigrams. Once, the U.K. was filled with such quirky individuals as Momus (a.k.a. one-eyed Scottish songsmith Nick Currie). Now, it seems, he ploughs an increasingly lonely--but highly fertile--furrow. --Everett True
