Free Music Review: STRANGE...
Hit: 3 Stars
Thats all that I can say about it. This album is odd. Neil Young doing electronica? Like years before electronics was popular? It's just weirdness. How did he even get the urge to do this thing? I think somebody must have given him some machines, and he was like, "check it out, I can do anything!"
I can't say that the album is a failure though. If you dig the likes of bands such as The Flaming Lips (I always thought of that band as very Neil Young sounding... and I would imagine that the band maybe copped some of their style directly from this album...)listen to The Lips album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots and compare to Neil's TRANSFORMER MAN from this album (prolly the only track on this album that actually works, and done better on his unplugged album) It's Neil Youngs voice, only filtered through machines. Again, strange. Most of the songs are like that... including an electronic version of his classic song MR. SOUL, but besides the two tracks mentioned the sound gets very old fast, and at some points is so primitive that it hurts.
Besides that there are a few somewhat ok songs that don't go over the top in electronica, the best song on the album being the nine minute final track LIKE AN INCA, which is completely out of place with the rest of the album, but it's good to have if you somehow find yourself with this album.
A curiosity at most. Some interesting stuff, mostly just repetitive, early electronics used very much over the top. Hard to even consider this a Neil Young album... 3 stars.
