Free Music Notes for Trans
Free Music Review: "I-need-a-you-nit....to-sam-pull-and-hold"
Hit: 2 Stars
I can almost hear a German accent in this number--and I can see why it's no longer available as a mainline US release. The closest equivalent is Kraftwerk's "Man-Machine" album. I really don't know whether or not "Trans" is a nod to the early techno style or a parody of it--not even the K-bots themselves overdid the machine aspect that much ("Man-Machine" with its vocoder vocals was the most extreme). I only know that versatility can be overdone--if Young had less stature than he has, "inconsistency" might instead be the word. Maybe it's because of his contract with Geffen at the time--he commented when he got back with Warner that they had a bias towards techno-pop. Myself, I expect Neil to be Neil.Free Music Review: What was he thinking?

The computer voice is interesting for a song or two, but is excruciatingly annoying on an entire album. Landing on Water is a much better example of Neil's 80s synth phase. It's not ovedone like Trans. Landing on Water's songs are better, AND you can actually hear Neil's great voice!Free Music Review: This record really pissed me off

4 stars? 5 stars? Come on now! "Transformer Man" ONLY works as an acoustic track on "UNPLUGGED". Everything else is pure crap. I'm amazed the rest of the old Buffalo Springfield didn't sue on the spot when they heard this version of "Mr. Soul". Unlistenable after a very short time. Broke old vinyl album swatting a fly--won't buy the CD.
