This is
copyrighted 1991, but it certainly sounds as if it were hatched about
1983. Every sound has been processed
through red-hot synthesizer tubes for ultimate pasteurization.
The
arrangements are perky and interesting enough.
But a truly evil genius is apparent – when you’re able to listen to a
whole minute or so – before you can even figure out what Beatle song the track
is.
Yes, the
sinister magic apparent here is of the really frightening kind. This album takes everything distinctive about
the Beatles sound – and removes it! All
that was creative in the Beatles’ music – gone!
This is the
Pod Peoples’ version of the Beatles. It
is frightening to reflect that it was intended as a commercial release – I
mean, somebody thought this would make money!
This stupendous achievement in trivialization is the auditory equivalent
of dining on Styrofoam and sawdust: You
might be filled, but to no nutritional end.
Something happened, but whatever happened WASN'T EVEN THERE!
so you made sure to put it here and talk it up, so we too would have to listen and be thus cursed as well......LOL! next one on the list I suppose!

LOL! I now noticed it's label is like all the others first letter generated, but in this case oh so appropriate: "SOB-I"
ReplyDeleteYep, the filename abbreviated to SOB. Would a better option have been BS?
