Title: If only I could give it 0 stars...
Review: This is really, really bad. It pains me to say so, as I'm a big fan of all three of these artists, especially Peter Blegvad. I really wish I could recommend it, as I would almost everything else I've heard from all three, going back to the early Slapp Happy albums and the demo, "Alcohol" they made when they first approached Henry Cow to do a collaboration. That union in itself produced one brilliant album (Desperate Straights) and one brilliant cut off an otherwise so-so album ("War", off of "In Praise of Learning") but ended up splintering Slapp Happy until their reunion for "Ca Va" (which I like) and this howler. I don't remember hearing anything this bad since I saw the totally forgettable Philip Glass opera (I can't even remember the name!) based on a Grimms' fairy tale, with the immortal line, "This soup is good!" Or John Adams' "Nixon in China". I guess not everything was meant to be sung.
Is the review positive or negative?
