Free Music Review: meglomaniac rock'n'roll preacher
Hit: 4 Stars
For those of you who are unfamillar with the pocket sized perverted genius that is Bobby Conn, all I can say is brace yourself for the twisted brilliance of "Rise Up." A freaky voyage through the mind of a man who's music resembles the spirit of Serge Gainsbourg at his most provocative channeled through Frank Zappa doing his best Yoko Ono impression.Forget all the regurgitated reverberated sounds of the "Next Big thing"'s singing their "music by number" renditions of proto-punk, and check out something truly original. Singing in a fantastic falsetto, akin to the preacher man himself Curtis Mayfield, Bobby tells us tales of the ominous armageddon, and the fact that he is of course the second comming."Rise Up", is an album consisting of anti-capatalist, satinistic preachings all coated in a psychedellic, funk-punk shell.
Some of the finer utterances of this lunatic lyricist include "United Nations under the rule of Satan" and "Jesus Christ, he came back, Jesus Christ high on crack" which eminates from the tittle track.
With Wing's "Live and let die" as a blue print, and his own miniscule attention span "Rise Up" is an excitingly eclectic epic of an album. To be listened to in solitude, sparingly, for fear its sheer brilliance may infect your soul. Not to everyones tastes, but as Dionne may have said "what the world needs now is a meglomaniac rock'n'roll preacher" to liven up today's stagnant sonic spectrum.
