Album Description

"The music on their Skin Graft debut, Turbo Mattress, keeps the beats as jerky as a racecar driver with the e-brake on, with guitar noise as jumper cables and Paul's surreal lyrics as a hallucinogen--fans of a more fucked Ex Models aesthetic, take note." -- THE STRANGER <P>Hot on the heels of the Chinese Stars' new album Listen To Your Left Brain, Skin Graft proudly re-presents the band's debut CD Turbo Mattress in a new edition. Previously available as a "weaponized, Chinese throwing-star-shaped CD," Turbo Mattress was quick to sell but proved problematic for those wishing to play the disc in front-feed CD players, CD changers, or darn near anything other than a tray-loading disc player. So for this new edition, Turbo Mattress has been pressed on a transparent CD, maintaining the illusion of a Chinese throwing star with the added bonus of being playable on all CD players and drives!

4 out of 5 stars 15 minutes of rockin' songs........2003-12-08

The Chinese Stars are two parts Arab on Radar, one part Six Finger Satellite, and one part mystery man. "turbo mattress" blasts off with a shrill, arpeggiated guitar line, with Eric Paul hollering lyrics that just barely make sense ("You could build a support group/with the germs that you bring on vacation."). One track rolls into the next so quickly that you'll barely have time to rest before another grinding tune begins. You just know that these guys must slay in concert, and cranking up this CD to full volume gives a fifteen-minute preview of what that must be like.
