This is the first "real" Mailbox album. There were demo tapes (actual cassette tapes) before this, of course. This was the first time I used real studio equipment to record a full-length project.
As with most first albums, I had tons of material but I wasn't really sure what I wanted my debut to be. I didn't know how I wanted this hobby of mine to be received by the public. So I tried a little bit of everything. There some geek rock, acoustic pop, prog and even a spoken-word epic.
Like my other earlier recordings, I don't relate to the material so much anymore but I have great memories of writing and recording it on my own and with my gang. Most of all, I'm proud of the pure ambition and freedom I put into Chameleon In A Kaleidoscope.
Uniqueness invades every pore of Mailbox's Chameleon In A Kaleidoscope ... generating oodles of great grooves ... On MAILBOX's debut album, innovative songwriter-producer-performer Adam Rabin courageously fuses his bizarre musical stew with witty stories of identity, escape, and confusion. The Mailbox sound is complemented by writer Greg Skillman's surreal lyrics. They are also joined by David Delaney, Rachel Beck, Andy Rabin, Rian Gittman, and others who bring their distinctive voices and styles to the project. For those with the ability to smirk at life's everyday struggles, MAILBOX's debut album offers a collection of personal anthems.
