Description

JOHNSTON, DANIEL – Welcome To My World: The Music Of Daniel Johnston" Despite the inclusion of a couple of rare tracks ("Lennon Song" and "Laurie"), this release is obviously positioned to attract the Johnston neophyte, and in terms of that, it fulfills the goal quite well. There is something a bit perverse about compiling the best material of any musician with such a truly non commercial sound, but upon listening to so many of his top quality compositions gathered together, the wisdom of the project becomes apparent.

The result

Karl's vocals are very clear and distinctive

” sound as if they could be coming from the mind of Earn Marks

and instrumental songs that provide the perfect soundtrack to a night's cruising

like Erykah Badu’s Baduizm the previous year

the last track on side one

the band's musical personality gelled to the point of punk perfection

Disco Volante is out of this world

Techno Pop

"Because all 3 songs were bred in an odd time of divide

the band was still a critical force pushing against societal inequalities
