Free Music Review: New Edition Of Scoop Catches Us Up To The Present
Hit: 5 Stars

Each Scoop series seems to tackle Pete's material in a chronological order. The first Scoop contained material that was older, and among his first recordings (not always, but as a general rule). The demos were of rawer songs, and the new stuff tended towards earlier townshend. Another Scoop dealt with middle period townshend, such as you better you bet, and the demos reflected the more mature songwriting of that period. Now we get to Scoop 3.

This collection examines Pete's latest work, by including the newest stuff he had been working on, material that is more classical and composed, as opposed to the more rock material he wrote before. This was the first collection of new Pete material released since Psychoderelict ten years ago. It whetted the appetite, somewhat, for the new Who album that was being promised so much, but being so highly doubted. Then Wire and Glass and an October 31st release date. It's a good time to be a Who fan, as Wire And Glass was VERY promising. John and Keith are missed immeasurably, and it's debatable as to whether or not they should continue as the who.

However, and this may seem harsh, Pete has been and always will be The Who. He wrote 99% of the songs both musically and lyrically. He took the band in whatever direction he wanted to, crafted the concepts etc. And as the Scoop series illustrates, the sounds you hear on the who albums are entirely of his mind. Again, I don't mean to insult Keith or John, brilliant instrumentalists, and in John, a very good songwriter. Without John and Keith's input instrumentally, the band wouldn't have been as kinetic and electric as they were. Yes, Pete could arrange all these songs and record them easily. But could he fake chemistry? These demos all sound like demos, with a great sound, great songwriting, but no oooomph. John and Keith, greatest rhytmn section in rock history, added that oomph. Their chemistry with Pete and Roger cannot be denied. Though the sound of the who was all pete's, John and Keith took that sound and interacted with Pete, fine tuned it, electrified it, and helped make it the classic sound that it is.

Which is why they'll be missed. The new e.p. has a lot of electricity, and the bandmates do seem to click with great energy. However, it's not quite the same as that almost psychic interaction between the who that existed all the way up till moon's death. So while Pete is definitley the who, it will not be the same without Keith or John.

Sorry to go on a long tangent. The quality of the songs here is uniformly excellent. The extra material makes good segues and background music, and begs the question as to why pete hasn't scored movies, besides that awful Tommy movie. Come to think of it, his score wasn't so great on that either. Nevermind.

Basically, buy this if you have the other scoop series. It makes no sense not to.
