(The Dark Side of the Tune) | | Posted: Feb 27, 2011 - 14:50 | |
While Electro-Funk was dead before Morrison, and a resurrection is a dubious happenstance, this tune (loose term) deserves the "Stripper Pole" award or the "Plastic Fantastic Mirror Ball" citation for 1981 and then, we need to let it go. It had a sweet, yet brief (thank God) life with the likes of John Trivolta and Ms. Newtron bomb of the yester-years. Pile your neon-green jump suits in the corner children  , light a match, and let them R.I.P.  |

They gained airplay with jazz influenced music that was all about stitching together great and unusual bits they collected and coaxed from a wide range of musicians and styles. Lyrics were present, but they were more in the way of another instrument than a contextual part of the finished product. The result sounded very fresh, but firmly rooted in established discipline - with brilliant bits from unleashed genius sprinkled here and there for good measure.
It's a different generation and a different range of sounds to choose from, but the fresh and well crafted vibe is present and accounted for in this work as well.

That's a very nice writeup, though I would argue that Steely Dan's lyrics were very literate, subversive, and more than just a vocal instrument. They were full of very biting commentary about the culture of their time. I think they had a lot to say lyrically. |

Thanks for pointing me to that. Awesome! Anything that reminds me of Mad Max is a winner. |

Although well produced and inoffensive, I end up finding it mostly annoying.

See, you can be mean all you want, I am all the time. But it is bullshit like this that pisses me off, just cause someone don't like a song, their whole musical taste are behind the times?? What if the song sucks, you are not allowed to say so just cause it is a fairly new release??? That's bullshit man, if something sucks, it sucks, I don't care when it was released.  |

I've got this CD on my to-buy list. I love Gorillaz. It's such a change from the usual crap that pop has become. Saw them live on Jools Holland recently and blew my mind. Thanks, Bill. Greetings from London. http://www.cubaninlondon.blogspot.com/ |
