"Starkland's latest CD features the first recording of Jay Cloidt, the 'Spike Jones of the Bay Area's new music scene'. The Kronos Quartet, Paul Dresher Ensemble, and Basso Bongo are the performers. The CD opens with 'Kole Kat Krush' (1989), commissioned by the Kronos Quartet and recorded by them here at Skywalker Ranch. This frequently performed piece juxtaposes music from Stravinsky, Beethoven, Eric Clapton, and Sly Stone. As Carl Stone notes in the CD's introduction, Cloidt typically combines sampled real-world sounds with live snippets of familiar classical and pop music, using 'skill, wit, perversity, and adroitness.'"
