"I'm a casual fan of Slapp Happy, the loopy Kraut-pop band British experimental musician Anthony Moore co-founded in the early 1970s. But I'd never heard this 1978 solo record until a friend sent it to me this spring. I've been playing it constantly since. Moore works a nexus between Brian Eno at his gizmo-twisting blissiest, John Cale's mordant Victorian whimsy, the demented glam-bubblegum of Sparks, post-Genesis Peter Gabriel and Berlin-era Bowie. \"Judy Get Down\" is the perfect-world Top 40 smash, a hand-clapping, noise-spritzed ode to a hooker somewhere between the Dixie Cups' \"Iko Iko\" and Eno's \"I'll Come Running.\" And the rest is bursting with playful ideas and left-field hooks too: from the dawn-over-the-moors balladry of \"Lucia\" to androids-at-happy-hour rockers like \"Useless Moments\" and \"Girl It's Your Time\" to the album-closing ambient ice-bath \"Twilight (Uxbridge Rd.).\" Moore's singing makes Bowie sound like Sam Cooke, but even that kind of adds to the record's alien charm. In England in the Seventies, every art-rock weirdo, no matter how out there, seemed to have one great oddball pop record in him. Well, this is this dude's, and it&amp;rsquo;s awesome.&amp;nbsp;\r\n&amp;ndash; Jon Dolan\r\n&amp;nbsp;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
