Title: Eine Kleine Elevator Music
Review: What would you get, I wonder, if you took the Doors- one of the greatest of all rock and roll bands- and toook away Morrison's rich baritone, the dark lyrics, Kreiger's sitar-like droning guitar lines, and arranged it all for a skating rink? This is what you'd get.Because as great as the Doors music was, the songs were just not terribly complex melodically. "Light My Fire" is basically a two-chord song with a couple of very short themes that repeat, and unless you're Mozart there's just not a lot to improvise on. And Winston, for all his charm, is not Mozart.What Winston has produced is 45 minutes of noodling of the sort done by thousands of amateur pianists. There's nothing discordant or annoying about it, but at the same time there's nothing terribly interesting, either. It's just background music of the sort that made the phrase "New Age Music" the butt of a thousand musicians' jokes.
Is the review positive or negative?
