Description
Inspector Muffin's first CD captures the spirit of the Summer of Love with a modern edge. A psychotic blender filled with the influences of Beatles, Kinks, Pink Floyd, Turtles and Monkees, this delivers a psychedelic slurpee of delight. Starting with the censorship anthem "The Ministry of Common Sense," the CD captures the feel of the British Invasion with jangly guitars and winking lyrics. "The Great Chicago Fire" delivers pop music hall whimsy with flaming bovine fervor. "For the Sake of Emerson Manchester" is a beautifully pretentious acoustic and synthesizer dream which is then followed by the heroic "The Vicar of Church Hill," a galloping ditty that would make the Banana Splits yellow with envy. The pop "Can't Stop" will make you drop and the inane "Soda Water Bottle" is a three chord tongue-twister that any garage band could play. "Leg to Stand" is definitely better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, and the orchestral "Routines" is filled with senseless violins. The Lennon inspired "Santa's Coming" must be kept out of reach of children due to the excessive use of double entendres. Sitars and guitars provide a psychedelic acid trip full of incense and pessimism of failed idealism with the medley "Goodbye Innocence/Are You Satisfied?" Then, with a final wave goodbye to Mr. Manchester, the CD rings to a close with a note that only parakeets can hear, followed by a secret hidden demo track. Well, not that secret anymore.
