Praise for The Mnemonic Devices:
"The stuff is just wonderful: crazy, cheesy, funny and wonderful voices... Maybe I''m nuts, but it seems infectious--a balance of naive, ironic, nasty, bad playing, good playing, good/bad singing... Very current." --Frederick Barthelme (The Red Krayola)
"You''re gonna have a lot of fans here when this gets around." --Hunter Manasco (Three Finger Cowboy)
"The arrangements are mostly done with a synthesizer and a computer, yet Spell manages to give them a warmth that many recordings of this nature have usually lacked." --Tommy Burton (Lately David)
"Rusty Spell and his keyboards wax sensitive for these melodic introspectives dedicated to the work of Magnetic Fields'' Stephin Merritt. Little musical hugs in a cold, cruel world." --Kelly Bauman (https://www.tradebit.com)
