Title: Pass On This
Product review: This lp is high in the cheese factor, with silly lyrics and breathless ya-ya girl singing. The seemingly phonetic pronunciations of the vocalists overshadow the rest of the work. The music is more varied than on other Midney albums, more funky, but it is gimmicky as well and at times the strings are listless. Midney seemed to be repeating himself with the string arrangements by this point (1981). Laughably, the "sensous vocals" (as the credits actually read) are attributed to a "Charmaine." The male vocalist Kevin Owens remains unidentified, surely to his great relief. When Midney's album ran only about 30 minutes over 4 songs, was it really necessary to recycle a track from an earlier USA-Euro album ("There's A Way")? All in all, the inspiration and effort were faded in this project.
