Not a whole lot is known about Moe Barbari. One day this demo CD arrived in the PO Box of Vinyl Communications Records, a punk/experimental label run by my friend Bob Barley. It became an immediate smash hit with at least several of us! "Let Me Be Your Man" is the standout track. Strained Iranian vocals and crappy Roland general midi synth arrangements. What's not to like? I think Bob tried to contact Moe about putting out the CD on VC, but he never heard back from him.

"Let Me Be Your Man" sounds like something they would use on Adult Swim's "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!"
He's killing me with those synths. Make it stop! Make it Stop!
I now have to listen to "Ree Baba Ree Baba" by Sonik Omi to cleanse the palet.

I absolutely love that cover. It's so stereotypically "90's middle eastern music" (and yes, I am quite familiar with it).
