Review by Tim DiGravina

Having worked with the innovative likes of Swans and Iggy Pop, drummer
Larry Mullins uses the alias Toby Dammit on Top Dollar to milk his own
inspirations. Those astute in cinema 101 or just pop culture in general might
know that Toby Dammit is the name of a darkly stylish cult Federico Fellini
short film starring Terence Stamp. On more than a few of Top Dollar's tracks,
Toby Dammit lives up to the spirit of Fellini's surreal adventure. Mullins frames
the entire album with the exhilarating and maddening sounds of a percussion
section turned evil. Noisy samples of voices, drag races, sirens, and other
found sounds blend in with freakout drum solos, trippy and skittering
grooves, and staccato percussion in creating twisted chill-out music best
suited for hyperactive individuals. Coming across at different times like a mad
mix of Luke Vibert's humorous sci-fi electronica, the jazzy spy music
drum'n'bass of Squarepusher, and some sort of tropical fusion orchestra, Top
Dollar never fails in its exuberance or its eclectic charm. Mullins is more than
just an adrenaline junky, though, as he knows when to take things down a
notch, perhaps best witnessed in the Seefeel-meets-Neotropic-meets-Miles
Davis experimentation of "Malm÷ Nocturne (Mσnsson's Theme)." If a few of
the tracks have the feel of extended intros and outros, there's still enough
interesting sonic trickery going on that the album could hardly be considered
dull. Noisy, intelligent, and chugging along to the beat of its own drum, Top
Dollar is certainly one fascinating journey.
