about

None knew from where the Chunky Monk came. Some say He appeared fully formed in the desert outside the city on New Year’s Day 1990. Others claimed He’d brought His advanced four-track technology from another world, even another reality. His story began identically to that of many Albuquerque resident: 10-15 years ago, He’d been trying to get to Dallas/Mexico/the Consumoverse, but His car/starship/dimensional-skipper broke down. So that His fin de millennium testament might be heard, He gathered disciples from copy centers, packaging design, newspapers, cinemas, theaters and recreational pharmaceutical testing facilities - many of them named Dave. He taught these Monkey Chunks the ways of the 4-track and His message was thusly recorded in three volumes including remixes. Fictional reviews described His teachings as “avant-garde low-fi cutup mishmash homemade hyper-spoken word soundscapes,” but these simply miss the Monk for the Chunks. And when the Monkey Chunks had finished, the Great Monk saw that it was good. He readied Himself for his place on the Holy Fucking Porch and had the Y2K bug apply its fatal sting. These are His teachings, remastered in 2020. Lizards.

Chunky Monk And The Monkey Chunks were no trained musicians and Smothered Dis will attest that. None of the tracks on the album were made with instruments, a bongo is the only real instrument that appears on the title track. All cuts and creations are either samples, spoken word or sounds extracted by D.J. Anal, Yo! from Apple Macintosh’s System 7 with ResEdit and opened into SoundCreator whilst applying effects. The original samples were selected by Bourgeois Paisley Gravy, D.J. Anal, Yo!, Dream Joker, Hebrew Jeebie and his wife in Tavullia in January of 1996. Vocals were added on some tracks. All live sections were recorded in Budapest on December 29th and 30th 1996, except for ‘About Punk’ which was taped by M.C. Tricky Buddha in 1992.
