    “Amrita-ta-ta” grew up between May and June 2000, and was scheduled to air June 17.  It was recorded, constructed, mixed & edited by Muffy in the Abbxcess bedroom, in the company of  the diabolical  LadyMac.  Copyright 2000 DangerMuff Enterproses.

    An interesting internal exploration of sensuality and strangeness, from the release that gave the Amrita-ta-ta studio its name.  Years before, when I had been toying with the idea of making Frequent Mutes, I had written a series of slightly provocative approaches called "350 files" (loosely connected to the first chapter of Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow).  This seemed like a good time to use those files.  As well, "Rats!" and "Star!" was another early Mute sketch, containing elements of "Syncopated City" (Leopard Betty, Pony Tale)
    Some of the extended samples were taken from the incredible film Thundercrack, and some others from Fellini's Roma.  "Bad Day At The H-Bar" provides the quantum element to the Mute, and was inspired by Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe.  "Virginia" later became "Feel My Purse," and appeared on the Pony Tale CD with an extended version of "The Dead Horse" and a different version of "Oswego."
