REVIEWS

"Those familiar with dualpLOVER’s extensive backcatalogue will no doubt have an inkling as to the sorts of disturbing contents packed into this latest compilation, and in this case, ‘Rebirth Of Fool 3’ captures the label’s extended roster in particularly harrowing / entertaining form. Your level of appreciation for this CD is likely to depend on your enjoyment of blacker-than comedy, but for those with a high offense threshold, there’s certainly plenty of hilarity packed in amongst the 20 tracks here. After kicking off with a Wesley Willis-inspired shout-out tribute to Lucas Abela, Rank Sinatra treats Bon Jovi’s ‘I’ll Be There For You’ to a fearsomely overdriven noise re-reading, Mugwort Lycanthrope’s ‘Sodomy & The Pirate Tradition’ ensures you’ll never go ‘Arr!” in quite the same way again, while Question Mark?’s ‘Shafted’ (an alias of Bloody Fist’s Mark N) appears to be an entire recorded court transcript of a guy who got busted for hanging a mannequin from his roof. Elsewhere, Bradbury associate Sweden destroys Zeppelin’s ‘Whole Lotta Love’ in his inimitable style, and anyone who ever wanted to hear Ray Parker Jr’s ‘Ghostbusters’ theme extended into a 13 minute version is going to be delighted with Xufotofux’s contribution here. Characteristically disturbing." - Cyclic Defrost

"weird and wonderful, with a little more weird on top Rebirth Of Fool is Sydney label Dual Plover’s tribute to the absurd, the ridiculous, the tasteless and the talentless. Opening with 7U?’s Wesley Willis-esque tribute to the label, Dual Plover affiliated acts and miscellaneous acts contribute absurdist pop, German polka songs, off-key vocals and a whole lot more. It’s all distinctly left-field, to say the least. American neo-Gothic performer Nora Keyes contributes an ad-hoc cover of the Prisoner theme, occasionally finding the whole process somewhat hilarious. New Waver put mymiserablelife.com in a whole new light, with a disturbingly hilarious combination of starkly depressing real life stories, speech text vocals and new-age piano. Brisbane ex-pats Toxic Lipstick and Kunt appear with the Punching Cones, a tongue in cheek nu-metal meets 80s selfhelp hip-hop paean greening out, complete with a talking bong. And so on, and so on. Rebirth of Fool is a charmingly and intentionally cheeky listen. It’s fairly painful to get through at times, but considering some of dualplover’s other releases; you get the sense that this is intentionally the case. These moments make the disc all the more fantastic, as it’s a reminder that music isn’t about coolness and/or success. Two stumps up! 4 _ / 5 " - ANDREW TUTTLE, rave magazine.
