The Original Soundtrack by 10cc

Gouldman, Stewart, Godley, Creme 1975

Without being a film score, but maybe pretending it is...
Like a good movie this album has a great bit of everything : Humour, Beauty, Thrill, Drama, Philosophy, Form, Mystery.


as Autumn Album # 18:2
by kinda chakra based evaluation


most Whole Soulful song : THE FILM OF MY LOVE

most Introspective Dreamlike song : BRAND NEW DAY

most Expressively Amusing song : UNE NUIT A PARIS (part 1), THE SAME NIGHT IN PARIS (part 2), LATER THE SAME NIGHT IN PARIS (part 3)

most Beautifully Lovable song : I'M NOT IN LOVE

most Mighty Strongfelt song : LIFE IS A MINESTRONE

most Sexy Teasing song : BLACKMAIL

most Survive-Struggling song : THE SECOND SITTING FOR THE LAST SUPPER


Above or Below everyone (my favourite piece now) : FLYING JUNK



Reminds me most of : 
A Night at The Opera with Queen
A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing with Sparks
Breakfast in America with Supertramp



Took me at least ten years before experiencing this to be their most rich record... felt more immedite for Deceptive Bends -77 and Bloody Tourists -78. Believed just Gouldman & Stewart did really nice, but now realise how great role Godley & Creme must have played for the experimental drive as well as big (satiric) ambition.
