Free Music Notes for Over at Rainbow's
Free Music Review: Nothing more revealing
Hit: 5 Stars
There is nothing in the canon of recorded sound that is remotely like it. Nothing more revealing. Nothing, in some ways, more ridiculous: a kind of contemporary version of Boswell's life of Dr Johnson in hi-fi, with the tape machine acting as the silent and uncritical scribe....The indisputable highlight is a long and extraordinary Pinteresque episode, 'The Comic, the Mystic and the Tramp'. it involves George, Peter and a hungry bum called John, a.k.a. Bronco. 'The Comic, the Mystic and the Tramp' is a unique masterpiece of improvised, unintentional theatre: there should be a name for this new art form - TAPE (Theatre Accidentally performed Electronically) posisbly, or Reel Life.
An enterprising director should transcribe it and put it on the stage. it really is that good.
The similarity with Pinter is not, come to think of it, entirely accidental. Cook and Pinter both closely observed and wrote distinctively about isolated people, mainly men, who create their own and often impenetrable worlds. Indeed, the links between Cook and Pinter are numerous and some anorak researcher might find it worth his while. The best tracks on Derek & Clive albums are when these particular kind of men are speaking, men who live beyond feeling. 'Over At Rainbow's' echoes much of this and is a triumph. the fact that George Weiss led the daft and slightly murky Rainbow party is not important. That he had a tape machine on twenty-four hours a day, expecting to pick up messages from higher beings, is. And it did pick up messages from at least one higher being: his friend and neighbour, one P. Cook.
