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.
