"The Academy of St. Roch of the Bulboes debut album "Table Scraps" does not live up to it's title, because it is a feast for the ears and one that requires no digestive. Although "Opus Oh Pus!" [The Bulboe Song]" did give me a touch of gas and not of the classical kind. "With thine pustulating sore, Stand ye not so close to me" a classical reinterpretation of The Police standard is sure to be a hit, as is "Well-tempered Clavical I/1 - [remains stage de-composition]. Be a gourmand and buy it!"

"The Academy has really outdone themselves with this album. Although one would think it would be difficult to play Tchaikovsky and Bach on kazoos and didgeridoos, somehow C. Valentine Riley pulls it off with remarkable success. The album offers listeners a delightful classical music experience, although track 8 left me wishing I was at the UNSDSD. Listening to Table Scraps will leave you huffing the miasma and flagellating yourself with delight."
