Free Music Notes for Duck Rock
Free Music Review: Take a cupful of hip hop, a sprinkling of african vocals, a dash of latin rhythm and top with a hillbilly square dance. Tasty!
Hit: 4 Stars
Although it has its weak spots, there's enough brilliant work here to highly recommend this to anyone looking for something unique and different in this world of factory-line musical product.
Combining african, latin, hillbilly and hip hop influences, this album is uncategorisable and unlike anything else I've ever heard.
You probably won't find this in any critic's "albums you must have" lists, because it doesn't neatly fit into anyone's "box".
It's too experimental for the pop fans, too pop for the radicals.
It shamelessly appropriates all kinds of musical heritage, without fitting into any of those neat little categories.
McLaren can't sing or play instruments, so gets no credibility from "real" musicians.
But somehow McLaren and producer Trevor Horn have created one of the best albums ever!
If you described this album "in theory", it would sound absurd, but what you hear through the speakers is genius.
McLaren's subsequent albums don't quite gel, but this one hits the mark.
Members of Art Of Noise were session musicians on "Duck Rock" and although it's not up to the same standard, I also suggest you buy Art Of Noise's (Who's Afraid Of?) The Art of Noise! (also produced by Trevor Horn). It only has 2 great tracks (Beat Box and Close To The Edit) but they are both ESSENTIAL in the history of electronic dance music.
