Title: Coelecanth
Product review: For Producers fans, Coelacanth was one of those mysterious albums. We all heard the tunes. Just no album. There is a lot of controversy where Coelecanth is concerned. However, for most Producers fans, The Producers just wasn't the same after the departure of Kyle Henderson. Tim Smith is credited with giving the group another direction. This certainly changed the formula that made the Producers such a awesome group. The new direction changed the sound of the group. Coelacanth is frustrating to listen to. You hear the familiar hooks, but then it goes into completely somewhere else. The album is not good nor bad, but at least interesting. Wayne Famous's various keyboard styles are extensive, maybe overly done to cover very weak musical material. Let us be glad the album was not released in 1987. Certainly, it would be disappointing to say the least. Thankfully, the original group got back together, maybe a little too late to save.
