The Moog Cookbook
[Restless]
Rating: 3.0
Remember Grunge Lite? Several grunge
songs played like Muzak on cheap synthesizers and drum machines? Well, there's a
new one, only instead of re-creation via Casio, they're done with the illustrious
'60s analog magic of the Moog keyboards.
Such classics as "Black Hole Sun," "Buddy Holly," "Rockin' in the Free World," and
of course, the token cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" wheeze and
whoop through your speakers like some diseased, half-dead mule anticipating
the afterlife. Recipe: 1 cup Bossa Nova, 2 tablespoons Fox Trot and, oh yeah, 1 lb.
Cash Money. If you're lucky, this disc is interesting on the first listen.
