Free Music Review: Taking Tiger Mountain by Byrds & Nuggets & Feelies?
Hit: 4 Stars
This music sounds like what I sometimes have heard in my dreams. When waking, jangly catchy guitar-heavy riffs mix with a blurrier background that sounds submerged. I don't know what this says about my subconscious, but Robert Schneider and pals 1993-5 must have heard similar sounds of fuzz and reverb. This is primitive music, as if what you'd tape from a garage band down the block, but it's magic. Extra credit for fitting the title to the cover photo--band as if the Audio-Visual Club 10th grade yearbook 1974. The majority of the songs survive their ramshackle arrangements and limited production; tracks 1-10 and 13 stick to you as if recalled from years ago when you hear them.
A slight drawback is that this CD may start to sound like one long rave-up. Best not to play it all straight through. If you're a fan of Fun Trick, be warned that this is low-budget. The tempo does slacken towards the end, even though these songs sound weaker as well as subdued. If you like their debut LP, however, Fun Trick Noisemaker, the earlier versions of many of its best tunes can be found here. They lack the polish given their second incarnation, but they make up for it with an energy that the later versions sometimes coat over with a glossier finish.
At this pre-LP stage, Apples' singles and EPs were raw and restless and at the band's creative best, I think. True, they lacked finesse, but make up for it with determination. This comes sadly before the band de-volved into RS and more of a backup set of musicians that he would dominate as Apples became more fey, Beatlesque, and baroque- meets- bubblegum as they fittingly wrote TV themes. Fun Trick does have strong moments, and power-pop fans would favor it over Science Faire, but those needing a subtly diverse array of influences blended and pureed--here Nuggets-meets Notorious Byrd Bros-meets Eno on Tiger Mountain and Warm Jets-meets early demos by the Undertones or the Crazy Rhythm debut by the Feelies--however small a group this sub-culture of us this may be, this is our music.
