Yip/Jump Music is the first album to feature Johnston on the chord organ. It was recorded in his brother's garage in Texas, somewhat of a promotion from Mom's basement.
Kurt Cobain listed this at number 35 in his top fifty albums; if that's a recommendation?
I know where he's coming from though,one much prefers the more ethereal quality of the organ over the plinky clunky of the piano in the preceding four albums.It seems to suit the atmosphere of the songs much better. Johnstons best so far.

Back when I was in high school, my band and I had seen The Devil and Daniel Johnston and we were seriously considering playing "Speeding Motorcycle" for a show, but we realised quickly that it just wouldn't be very convincing—too little and too much skill, in different ways.
Thanks!!!
