Not sure if I would describe this experience as "enjoyable" in a comprehensive sense, but there were some numbers like '...et pour les enfants' that had a distinctive charm to them. Xylophone features prominently, as well as frequent use of the whistle register and some yodeling here n' there. There's also a certain stark beauty to the Middle Eastern melodic meanderings of 'Pop' a' Gregor' that I found rather compelling. Kinda haunting.
Have skimmed a bit of critical opinion from elsewhere about this self-titled, it seems like the goal was to provide a canvas of sorts to showcase experimental vocalizations and test the "limits" of it as an instrument. Certainly an ambitious goal, but there's a nice psychedelic underpinning to everything that I enjoy as well.
Going with a 6.5 out of 10 here methinks.
