Description/Reviews:
Split into two halves of the same, but different musical experience, the first half (Side A, if you will) is considered the European side as it does not include the bands usual swing rock grooves. With the tracks all exhibiting a varying degree and amalgamation of rather different European themes and sounds, it kicks off with the ornate piano work, at first, and then the up-from-the-gut musical imploring next of Captain Introspective and then brings us the rousing Renaissance storytelling of The Underground in Europe, which are backed by two of my own personal favorites here, the Zappa-esque constructions of both Maestro Mafioso and the boisterous Crimson Jig. The second half (Side B, if you will) can be considered the American side as the tracks have more of an American sound - from a Melvins-esque tune, to a bluesy tune, to a twisted Beach Boys tune to a swingy tune, it begins with the harmoniously prolific She’s A Stomper and backs that up with the melodic hipsway of Even Weezles Get The Blues, the riff ambient Eskimo Pie, and then closes on the exciting momentum of Cluedo.Read the full review by Anne Carlini
