A different sort of album featuring different types of music. Austin's $hane $helton has spent a great deal of time in the bathtub...so he finally decided to create an album inspired by and recorded for the experience. While it may sound like some kind of a joke, Music For Bathtubs is a surprisingly real and sincere album. The CD features eleven tracks that delve into experimental noise, ambience, and electronic pop. The music is mostly inspired by water or related topics ("Frog Pond," "Snowflake," "Tub," "The Big Ship", etc.). These tracks are solo recordings with some extra sounds and recording expertise provided by Cisco Ryder. While others are trying way too hard to make music that is way too complex and overproduced...$hane succeeds because he gets his point across using only the bare essentials. Nifty sounding stuff that kinda reminds us of babysue favorite Twink. (Rating: 5) - Baby Sue/LMNOP

Bio
I have played in rock and pop bands for almost 20 years now and always wanted to make a recording to accompany my indulgence in long hot baths.
I created an electronic tribute to some of my favorite ambient artists, such as The Orb, Brian Eno, Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, and Amon Tobin
