     'Giant Man, Giant Plan' brings together most of the unbridled
     works of cosmic cassette minstrel Dennis Greenidge....these
     dextrous rewind button blues represent years of joyous &
     sometimes unhinged spooling during the late 90's onwards...57
     year-old Dennis doggedly unspooled cassettes from Music &
     Video Exchanges looking for suitable instrumental passages
     ranging variously from rave to easy listening....with the aid
     of two Philips tape decks he then bounced his singular oeuevre
     to create unique Sci-Fi & B-movie tinged revelries....a feral
     Jack Jones bursting the tapeheads, Dennis is to tape what
     Roger Corman is to horror....instant classics such as
     'Atlantis', 'Cosmo Dios' & 'The Amazing Colossal Cucumber Man'
     have saved lives....you do not get many of him to the
     pound....his fleeting loops of aural innocence will work their
     way under your skin in no time...."marvel at him"....

     Giant Man, Giant Plan is a cassette editing odyssey, an epic
     journey embarked upon by 57 year-old Music & Video Exchange
     patron Dennis Greenidge. Using only the simplest tapedeck-to-
     tapedeck bouncing techniques Greenidge has put together an
     exhaustive catalogue of idiosyncratic sonic marvels, with all
     manner of detritus, exotica and ephemeral stitched together
     into a backdrop for insane vocal ranting and raving. 'The
     Amazing Colossal Cucumber Man' might be the single daftest
     piece of 'music' you'll ever hear, making outsider songwriter
     luminaries like Wesley Willis sound like Bono. It's actually a
     bit like hearing an uncle you've never liked pretending he's
     Mark E. Smith over the top of some 'hold music'. It's hard to
     tell whether Dennis is for real or a mere character invented
     for a bad show at the Edinburgh Fringe, but certainly the
     harrowing trance singalong 'Invasion Of The Beetroot People'
     touches on a kind of lunacy that's hard to fake. In any case,
     trawling through this insanely over-long archive of witterings
     and bad cassette dubs might be regarded as a must-have
     experience for any intrepid connoisseur of nonsense.
