Negative Positive
Title: "I-need-a-you-nit....to-sam-pull-and-hold"
Review: I can almost hear a German accent in this number--and I can see why it's no longer available as a mainline US release. The closest equivalent is Kraftwerk's "Man-Machine" album. I really don't know whether or not "Trans" is a nod to the early techno style or a parody of it--not even the K-bots themselves overdid the machine aspect that much ("Man-Machine" with its vocoder vocals was the most extreme). I only know that versatility can be overdone--if Young had less stature than he has, "inconsistency" might instead be the word. Maybe it's because of his contract with Geffen at the time--he commented when he got back with Warner that they had a bias towards techno-pop. Myself, I expect Neil to be Neil.
Is the review positive or negative?
