Free Music Notes for Trans
Free Music Review: Forgotten Neil Is Found Again!
Hit: 5 Stars
As I recall, the critics were harsh to 2 Neil Young albums...the "Shocking Pinks" album and "Trans". They missed the boat on those two. Its Neil's experimentation as its best. "Trans" is such a neat CD. Get it!Free Music Review: sample this then hold it!
Hit: 5 Stars
Okay, I admit this is my mom's cd (gasp!) old hippy that she is. It's almost 20 years old (same as me, gasp again!) and it holds up well. I like the techno sound and the robot voices. This gets 5 stars for sample and hold alone.Free Music Review: almost invisible
Hit: 5 Stars
When I saw Neil young in Tucson, AZ in 1986 I thought I pretty much knew most of Neil's work but I left wondering what a few songs I didn't recognize were. Turns out I'd managed to entirely miss 'Trans', probably while I was busy wearing out 'Reactor'.Naturally I fixed that pronto and after wearing out a couple of albums (LPs..remember vinyl?) I got the CD.
I find all the tracks to be just fine, even the variant of Mr. Soul which took a little getting used to.
Now what I want to know is when is someone going to put Reactor on CD? My old LP can't last forever!
As for Mr Gore and the internet....sure he invented it. And Neil invented Assembly Language while he was writing Sample and Hold.

Hit: 4 Stars
It was so unexpected of Neil to turn out an album like this, and it was even more surprising that it was so entertaining, wedged as it was between his rockabilly album Everybody's Rockin' and his defiantly country album Old Ways. The updated, vocoder-laden version of Mr. Soul wasn't so great, but many of the other songs score bulls-eyes using this vocal device, most notably, Transformer Man, Sample and Hold, and Computer Age. Not all of the songs are Kraftwerk-influenced, either; the opening track, Little Thing Called Love, is a very upbeat and effective track with good "regular Neil" vocals and an excellent guitar line, too. My favorite song is the epic album-closer, Like an Inca, with the memorable line "Who put the bomb on the sacred altar?" Seeing as how this is still just available on import, the album still doesn't get heard by an American audience in the way it should. Too bad. It was a signpost album of the 80's for me.
