"TOO MUCH" was the first CD of the Modern Junglebook Era (MJE).  It features some traditional glammy pop-rock songs, my early experiments in MIDI, weird fake-jazz organ trios, acoustic and electric solo guitar pieces, drum-n-bass terrorist disco, a little pseudo-ragtime,  some hideous blue-eyed rap, as well as the first song I ever recorded in a studio (in 1979) and a medley of noisy 80's-vintage club recordings of British Invasion covers.
