Robbert Bobbert and The Bubble Machine is as fun as the name implies

Robbert Bobbert, aka Robert Schneider of the very cool indie rock group The Apples In Stereo, showcases his unique voice with Beach Boy-esque backing harmonies and experimental sound combos in his new self-titled CD for kids, Robbert Bobbert and The Bubble Machine.

The CD kind of reminds me of walking through a fun house: A lot of fun, kind of kooky and full of surprises. I love the chances he takes, from the booming Giant and teeny Mouse voices on "Fee Fi Fo, Fee Fi Fum", to his use of non-traditional instruments like a cuckoo clock, toy piano and slide whistle. And, I've got to give props to Todd Webb who drew all the perfectly suited illustrations on the CD cover, the enclosed mini comic book and coloring book.

Sure this is a kids' CD, but you may catch me bopping around the room to "We R Super Heroes" or "Gravity". Fortunately, the CD turns tender right around the time my stamina gives out. Phew. -Christina
