REVIEW: Ono's fourth solo album seems to pale in the shadow of her previous offering (the staggering, double record set "APPROXIMATELY INFINITE UNIVERSE"); but the breezy, open air quality of these immaculately crafted tunes are in many ways superior to even the best moments on that LP. And no: I won't listen to another criticism about her voice. Yes there are certainly better singers, but I can think of no other artist who has written more daringly original music than Yoko. Even if you aren't up to the wild vocalese experiments of the "PLASTIC ONO BAND" and "FLY" albums (or her tepid audio collaborations with husband John Lennon) that's no excuse to ignore her mainstream pop/rock releases. There isn't any other singer capable of putting across the climatic build-up and execution on "Woman Of Salem" or who could belt out the anthemic "Woman Power". Her performance is, at times, quite awe inspiring; and the instrumentation moves easily from country ("If Only") and ballads ("Growing Pain") to vaudeville ("Men Men Men") and rock ("Coffin Car") without skipping a beat. Although her militant feminism can be hard to swallow (i.e. her pro-abortion stance, the violence of "She Hits Back", and the irresponsibility of "Angry Young Woman": a frightening tableau about a wife who sneaks out of the house one night and leaves behind her husband and children in order to start a new life for herself), the music certainly isn't (a fact which makes "FEELING THE SPACE" a masterful piece of work). ANOTHER BIG PLUS: the Yoko-as-sphinx cover art! Freaky yet cool!
