Ok, the first track on this CD is called “Ickey Flush”. Those of you, who think I use little known words and weird phrases in an effort to sound clever, take note. I’m not the only one who does it. What on earth is an Ickey Flush? Seriously, Ickey Flush sounds like the noise a space invaders game in a pub makes. Is this the latest thing in electronic music? I once had the reviewer’s Scarlet Letter placed on me by one publication because I gave two electronic music records bad reviews. Apparently, this drivel is considered fashionable. Track five is called “Is It Pepper”. I am salivating with anticipation…I simply have to find out if it’s pepper or not. And I will find out. If track one ever ends. Forgive me gentle reader for I mistook. The nature of the beast has been revealed to me. Electronic music hates pauses. Because a pause would be a pause for breath and in that pause for breath the audience would twiddle their thumbs, make their polite excuses and leave the building.
Why so cruel? Why don’t I just describe how this record sounds and leave you to make up your own minds? By all means make up your own minds on this one. But I can’t sit here and sum up the sound of this record because if I were forced to sum up such a sound I would have to resort to profanity. Track twelve is called “Loose Nuke Threat”. It’s about as effective a political statement as the last State of The Union by George Walker Bush. When I was much younger, I went through a Celine Dion phase. But even music that might be described as romantic pap (did you know that cruise entertainers sometimes perform the Celine Dion track from the movie Titanic on cruise ships? Tempting fate is an occupation in itself) is better than this record.
