>>>>I love Philip Glass, but I don't hear him on this album. (I was amused,
however, by the review that said "My Baby's Taking Me Home" sounded like a
cross between Irving Berlin and Steve Reich.) What the album reminds me of
is Prefab Sprout's JORDAN: THE COMEBACK. Same sort of semi-orchestral
sound, similar structure, equally likely to be hated by anyone who insists
that music has to rawk out, maaaaaaaaaaaaan.<<<<
I do like orchestral sounds in my music, but I did give a listen to Lil'
Beethovan at a Tower Record listening station, and it just didn't do much
for me. I just don't think it is one of their best albums. But I give the
Maels a lot of credit for hanging in there and following their own twisted
muse.....for 4 decades. For that alone, they deserve much respect...
