Free Music Notes for Pudding En Gisteren//Super Starshine
Free Music Review: Stick to your day job...
Hit: 1 Stars
I do not know what school of music the creator of this CD came from, but I would avoid it at all cost. I suppose this CD is just another example of how some people will do anything to pretend to be a star.Free Music Review: Proud to be Dutch
Hit: 5 Stars
Sometimes I'm proud to be Dutch! Supersister was quite a popular act in The Netherlands in the early seventies even though their music is not something you play for easy listening.The excellent piece 'Pudding en Gisteren' is the highlight of the CD, but Radio and She was naked (which raised a few parents' eyebrows in the early seventies) are also excellent.
Free Music Review: ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER RECORDED
Hit: 5 Stars
I AGREE WITH BOTH OF THE PREVIOUS REVIEWERS. AND ALSO AS THE FIRST ONE, I BOUGHT "PUDDING EN GISTEREN" SEVERAL YEARS AGO FROM THE NETHERLANDS. BUT I HAD HEARD IT FIRST ON A CASSETTE BAD RECORDED, AND EVEN LIKE THIS,IT BECAME ONE OF MY MOST LOVED MUSIC.IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NOW THAT ALL THE DISCOGRAPHY OF SUPERSISTER IS AVAILABLE, ALL THE FANS OF THE GOOD MUSIC SHOULD HEAR THEM. IN SPITE OF THE TME, THE MUSIC SOUND VERY MODERN AND SUPERDELICIOUS.
ONE THIMG ONLY, THIS IS NOT THE BEST ALBUM OF SUPERSISTER, FOR ME IT WOULD BE "TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER".
Free Music Review: The Best Album You've Never Heard Of
Hit: 5 Stars
It's too bad there are no sound samples for this disc, because I believe anyone who heard 30 seconds of "Psychopath" would buy this album immediately. But kudos to Amazon for even offering it. Supersister was a quartet of young Dutchmen who put out some fabulous music in the late 60's and early 70's which wasn't even released in the U.S. I first heard them on Rhino Records' progressive rock box set "Supernatural Fairy Tales" (which I highly recommend). Since I acquired this album (had to order it from overseas 4 yrs ago), seldom has a week passed that I haven't listened to it. Although often characterized as a progressive rock band, for lack of a better label, Supersister is more oriented towards catchy melodies and lyrics than the sort of musical masturbation often associated with the prog-rock genre -- sort of like Phish in that they play complex music and play it well, but are playful and tuneful rather than bombastic. The focal point is the keyboard playing of R.J. Stips, who later went on to join Golden Earring and the tragically unknown Dutch band the Nits. There's no guitar to speak of, but it isn't missed, due to the rich sound of Stips' keyboards, Sacha Van Geest's flute, and the dense rhythym section. "Radio" would've been a huge hit if released with any support in the U.S. It's a delightful ode to the magic of a child discovering music over the airways, which takes a wonderfully twisted turn near the end, reflecting how the crass commercialism of corporate radio threatens to stomp the neck of musical discovery. My favorite song, "Psychopath", consists of nothing more than a sparkling riff played alternately on piano and harpsichord, accompanied by great lyrics such as: "It is not strange to have a heart attack/Since we've got nothing like a tail to wag/All our frustrations heaping up inside/Make the Dr. Jeckylls change into the Mr. Hydes". Other standout tracks are the alternately mellow/wild tune "She was Naked", the pretty 20-minute instrumental "Pudding en Gisteren Music for the Ballet", and "Groupies of the Band", a satire on the music scene replete with vaudevillian harmonies and homages to classic rock sounds, including musical quotations from the Beach Boys' "In My Room". It's difficult to compare Supersister to any other groups because they are totally unique. There are definitely elements of Zappa and the Bonzo Dog Band present on the satirical and humorous tunes like "Psychopath", "Groupies of the Band", and "Spiral Staircase", but Supersister isn't a comedy act by any means. The music is intricate and beautifully played and should appeal to all fans of good music. For me, this album typifies how much incredible music is out there waiting to be discovered. I implore all music heads to listen to it at their earliest convenience.Free Music Review: Excelente!

Desde Holanda uno de los m?s sobresalientes Grupos de Rock progresivo de este pa?s, se hace latente en estos dos discos,en los cuales resalta su capacidad jazistica avantgard,combinada con su sutileza pianistica del genial tecladista R.J Stips.Como todos sus dicos un Album de colecci?n para conocedores de la buena m?sica de esa ?poca.
