Apparently, the term "refrigerator mother" was coined to describe a parent whose cold, uncaring style so traumatized her child that it retreated into autism. Carl Off: "Refrigerator Mothers or 'emotionally cold mothers' was the term commonly used as the reason children had autism up through the 1960's. Coming from broken homes and not fitting into the general mold of society, this primitive ideal really appealed to us. It's one of many projects under the Hop-Frog collective umbrella. We are a tight community of artists focusing on experimental and psychedelic arts. We also have a love for indigenous & folk music from around the world and attempt to weave a new experimental sound through those influences"... 'Hop-Frog', should we mention, is a story by E.A. Poe, about a fool who takes revenge on the king after lack of respect.

No less than 20 different artists play here, their instruments of choice being, I quote: kitchen sink, Juno-1, Juno-106, cura cumbus, melodica, SH-101, pipes, chains, industrial filter device, electric guitar, twelve string acoustic guitar, electric bass, soft synths, computers, frame drum, floor tom, various cymbals and bells, harmonium, effects processors, Ruan (moon guitar), prepared acoustic guitar, prepared piano. The freaking sound goes out in the direction of No Neck Blues Band at times, with a slight touch of tasty Eastern flava. Great improv release, and some wonderful eclecticism.
