Free Music Review: Beyond the United States of America
Hit: 5 Stars
Way back in 1967-68 some UCLA college freaks got together and created an Album of electronic music to inspire hordes of musical gadget noodlers for generations to come. They were known as the United States of America, and if you can find their one full length album then you'll discover the inspiration for this band. But believe me, I've been listening to HaHa Sound far more than the USA album, far more than any previous Broadcast disc and even more than the dozen Sterolab albums that I own darn near put together! Why? Because this 45 minute masterwork has carried me beyond any part of my existence. Your ears are all that are required, no need for pstumbling about on any psyche altering fungus, this is the real deal. Thanks to the band's flawless pursuit of melody combined with Trish Keenan's Karen Carpenter as a toddler from Alpha Centuri vocals and guest pstarring psome of the crispyest most authoritative psyche-lounge drumming I've ever heard (kudos galore to drummer Neil Bullock), we have the paradigm for journeys to a netherworld of existence -- albeit one of dayglo colored balloons and lyrical phantasmagora that even poor ol' PSyd Barrett was too psnoggered to realize (though he had some doozies anyway)! Right from the get go psimple kindergarden psingalongs like "Colour Me In" take on a haunting otherwordly intensity that ushers in more incendiary cyber-raveups like "Pendulum" only to chill out for the lush dreamy and at the same time profound renderings on hum drum things like relationships in "Before We Begin" where Keenan's breeze juxtaposes perfectly with the brash drum fills in the chorus. The cut on here that best features the drumming has to be "A Man Is Not a Bird" a psong bound to have drummers trying to figure out the scattering polyrhythm with 2 sticks when they really need another drummer. Throughout the album you'll find the vocals and titanium snare sound playing off one another brilliantly. The very atmosphere this band creates was probably a herculean undertaking (in other words just getting the sound right), and I can't thank them enough. It's far too rich a psound and far too many wonderful noises made to catch everything in one listening. Granted, this may be why people may not get it and why it's so hard for the band to churn stuff like this out on a budget, but God Bless 'em for what they've accomplished. The USofA had the same problem back when their interstellar pstuff was obscure as it is 35 years later. Let's just hope this album isn't as hard to get as The USofA's album and, for that matter, Broadcast's Noise Made By People album are now.
