@@OneyButtwillies I know, the late 90s and early to late 2000s are the revival era of UPA inspired art style, which shows how timeless it is even for today.
I heard "THE mARTIN SHOW" sometime in the past, and spent a long while trying to figure out where it's from. Then found out that it's from this absolute banger of an album, and that Plus-Tech Squeeze Box has only made this and FAKEVOX so far...😭😭
It was played before the Gorillaz concert in Chicago recently while they were setting up. Unsure if that's where you heard it, but that's how I found it :)
I wanna know what genre would this be me likey! I'm gonna be addicted to this like drugs for a while. Really reminds me of like 2000's cartoon network.
Could’ve sworn that I commented on how this was an amazing recommended album years ago when you posted it , but it’s cool. This album still rocks and I agree with one comment that said that this gets the imagination going, ‘cause it literally feels like I’ve mapped out an entire collection of “cartoon intros” in my head with each song. (This comment is gonna be really long, so just stop here if you don’t wanna read a huge essay lol) I’ll try to brief but still descriptive of each song as I possibly can. Everything’s in a new-age retro style like how it is on the album. 1. CartoomTV Every time I hear this I always envision two kids, a boy & a girl, getting ready to watch their their favorite cartoon channel with the song playing on the tv. There’s a bunch of the characters that you’ll soon see in their “shows” singing & dancing to the song and as they finish saying “welcome to this cartoom world!” You see a guy in a hot rod zipping by them and leaving the girls in a puff of black exhaust. The kids smile, but not for long, as a man in the song makes comes halfway out of the the tv screen, screams, effectively scaring the kids, dragging the kids into the tv and falling into a cartoony rabbit hole Alice-in-Wonderland style. 2. Fiddle-Dee-Dee!! As the tv catches static, the picture comes back to a girl with pink hair emerging from out of the shadows with eyes staring straight at her menacingly. She however, with a calm but still reserved glint, stares back at them as she walks down the hall in all these turning pan shots that sync up with the stuttering, and then when the song kicks in she transforms into a magical flying crime-fighting cat girl with angel wings, a Gatling gun on her right arm and a sword in the other. It shows her fending off all the different villains & baddies of the “show” with her unique powers, and suddenly as the music shifts to a more calm acoustic setting it shows her and a supposed love interest holding hands solemnly in a flower bed with a heavenly glow casted upon them singing the duet together. 3. Dough-Nuts Town’s Map We finally come back to the two kids that finally found each other amidst the chaos of the first “show’s” intro. They’re just outside of these two chocolate covered double-doors with eclair for handles, taking a breather until they start to hear bells tolling. A man that seems to be dressed in a fancy orange bell-hop suit opens the door, greets them with a “Here we go!”, and guides them into their magical world made entirely of candy. The citizens are a mix of happy humans dressed in candy motifs, while others are actually sentient desserts. Regardless, they all sing the song as they happily greet their new guests into their home, showing them all the sights and sound. Even an amusement park where in a brief scene they say “but the coaster is too short” a resident and the two kids slide off a track in their seats and the cart drops in a pure ACME cartoon fashion until a parachute activates and lands them all safely into the town again. At 3:20, they finally arrive at a flight of stairs that lead up to the magnificent glittering Candy Land Palace. They climb up the stairs & enter the doors to catch a glimpse of the Candy Queen dresses in a sweet revision of a Victorian dress. The kids disappeared in a puff of smoke, subsequently returning to the town again. As the chorus is being sung yet again, the kids are quickly tired of being in the town and begin to leave, although not before the town had gradually revealed its rather inappropriate side, bringing a new meaning to “main street is in a mess!” Embarrassed, all the residents attempt scramble back into their homes. The gingerbread houses turning into old, junky living quarters and the castle’s facade fades into a sadistic factory where the sentient sweets get packaged and shipped to be consumed. Mortified, the children run off and the tv turns to a more family friendly interlude saying “We’ll Be Right Back!” Until... 4. F(Ake) The opening credits roll, showing a ticking stop-watch and a little girl sleeping in a bed shaped like a car. But it’s not until the song finally kicks in that you realize it is a car! As a shot of the alarm waking the girl comes up, she put her car into full-throttle and her long-nosed racer rockets across a race track with other unique cars following suit. The titlecard of the “show” appears and you get to see stills of each character in their “racer pose” with their name next to them, their respective voice actor’s name underneath with clips of them in action playing in the background with their signature colors filtered over it. When it get to the whispering part that says “If I build a monster, can I have a white rat? Hey daddy! (Yes, these are the lyrics lol) you see her tugging on two long legs (similar to the human characters being out of view on Tom & Jerry) comically pleading until a huge acme weight falls onto her head, pissing her off and leading to the brief distorted yelling in the song before the bridge comes back. More antics between the racers play until the very end when the main character accidentally wins the race with her now busted up car and giggling as she holds the 1st place trophy. 5. SUZZZZZZY For this one, I Imagine the Robot Girl is Suzy and she is the antagonist & step-sibling to two Gothic asian witch twins. (If this genre is supposed to sound absurd then so is the story and visuals lol) To everyone in the story’s setting, Suzy is the perfect little girl that can do no wrong (like how the girls are explaining in the song, but of course the two girls see straight though the facade and you hear in the second verse that there’s this ‘evil soul’ behind her ‘guarded mask.’ How I envision this is that one night at around midnight both of the girls snuck into Suzy’s room and discover that she’s actually a robot that houses the true villain of the story in her face: This malicious shadowy figure that has been recently terrorizing the town they live in. Throughout this pseudo opening you can see how the girls, with the help of their friends by the second loop of the chorus, are constantly undermining Suzy’s efforts to spread mischief by short-circuiting, tricking, and everything else up their sleeves to stop her from taking over the world. ((I’ll come back to finish this when I have more time))
It's a group called Witch Craft. I know nothing about them other than that they had a song called "Cookie Monster" on the Vroom Sound label compilation, "Future Standard Adventure Wave 2002".
Arguably the most underrated band on RUclips; even Sweet Trip has more attention on Spotify than them, and that's kinda sad considering the insane quality of their extremely genre-busting music palattes.

Certain cartoons introduce you to good music.
makes me feel strangely nostalgic. god i miss genndy tartakovsky
He's still working on Primal.
I seriously want to know what it took to actually compose this chaotic brilliance

probably 10 fingers and a brain
This album sounds like a 90s cartoonist watched an anime and took a metric fuckton of ecstacy. Which is a good thing.
lmao its a joke, chill
@@Slunqmusic Dude would you shut the fuck up? Lots of really good music has been done on drugs.
THE mARTIN SHOW!! is lowkey one of the best songs ever created

I NEVER KNEW MUSIC COULD SOUND LIKE THIS
Everytime I finish listening F(Ake), I convinced myself that Plus-Tech Squeeze Box also made the Pucca opening song lol
they did
perfectly captures the essence of 90s-00s cartoons.
ADHD the album feelsgoodman
Ridiculously challenging, experimental, nostalgic, and fun!
y'know what? Cartooom! is my kind of jam, dude. 😎
For some reason, the album art cover for the song looks like Dexter's Laboratory and Fairly Oddparents getting a crossover we never knew we needed.
my exact thoughts
Thats since during the 90s and 2000s there was a prominent trend amongst many artists heavily basing their work off of the 1950-60s UPA style.
@@OneyButtwillies I know, the late 90s and early to late 2000s are the revival era of UPA inspired art style, which shows how timeless it is even for today.
The intro to Dough Nut Town’s Map gives me super heavy Mario Party vibes
"Cartoon Network: The Album"
Happy 20th anniversary to this album!
MMMMMMMMMMMM
This album is like being transported to a sacharine world of Saturday morning cartoons.
someone put this over cartoon network city bumpers

i think it's best described as shibuya-kei, you'll also like early Capsule songs and pizzicato five if you're into that :)

OH FUCK I'M GONNA CARTOOOM!!!!
This is me rn
7:56 Gives me Cibo Matto vibes. Who are the vocals here? Also, this would be awesome in a new Jet Set Radio game.
It literally just sounds like cibo matto, wouldn’t be surprised if they had them on the song
Thought it was Miho Hatori when i first heard it but turns out they had nothing to do with PSB. It reminded me so much of Sci-Fi Wasabi.
It's a group called Witch Craft. I know nothing about them other than that they had a song called "Cookie Monster" on the Vroom Sound label compilation, "Future Standard Adventure Wave 2002".

I would agree with you if I didn’t adore Sweet Trip as much as I do.
@@beatleswithaz6246 Same here; rym and /mu/ go ballistic for them, and that's something I actually understand.
100% agree sweet trip looks overrated compared to this
The whole genre of Shibuya-kei is itself underrated
@The Witherling is that so?
i want "Dough-Nuts Town's Map" to be played at my funeral
but it has to be fake, si that you could watch the reactions
Imitation, like the music
That will be one jolly funeral.
20:26 I've heard that piece of stock music so often. What the hell is it's name and from which archive is it?
Sincerely one of the best Japanese music albums ever made.
There's a Doug E Fresh "oh my god" sample at 7:58
kenichi smith would be tipping his ten gallon in approval if he heard this
Rival should've been in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
What a wild concept man
The "What's this? What's that?" sample in Dough-Nuts Town Map, is that Cree Summer? It sounds exactly like her.

there hasn't been a new ptsb album in over 20 years
i think that's because of their solo activities, like most of Shibuya-kei bands
That’s a shame
Yeah most shibuya Kei bands just dissappear for some reason.
fiddle dee dee is like the best
i'm sad it's such a short song because it goes hard as hell
I just discovered this album a few hours ago bro…… WHERE HAS THIS BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE
This is just musical insanity, like I can’t even describe what this shit is but it’s sick.
Sounds like Splatoon music I love it
Music like this is why I don't need drugs.
i love the whole album, but does anyone know where i can get more music that sounds like 0:56 to 1:13 ?
My favorite album!
Yes, yes I did.
you're the one who introduced it to me!
