Tuna Melt gets it's Groove On... Moog Style!
The Moog Records that littered record store shelves from the late 60s through the 70s were of two different types. One type featured The Moog Synthesizer as a solo instrument and The Moog was used to synthesize, replace and/or duplicate the sounds of an entire band or orchestra. The other type featured The Moog as an instrument playing along with a more conventional Band set-up.
This record is of the Second Variety. What it lacks in Moog Purity, however, it more than makes up for in Soul, Funk and Groove. Granted, there are a few slow points ("Hey Jude" is particularly staid), but on the songs that really jump the bass, guitar and drums add a "human touch" that The Moog is incapable of recreating. Give this copy of Steppenwolf's "Rock Me" a spin and see what I mean.
- Aquarius
- Oh Happy Day
- Hey Jude
- Both Sides Now
- Grazing in the Grass
- Feelin' Groovy
- Penny Lane
- Atlantis
- Rock Me
- Windmills of Your Mind

This particular rapidshare link doesn't seem to be working.
That's weird. It works for me (and it's been downloaded several times in the last few minutes). I'll check deeper into the strangeness that Blogger sometimes is...
Thanks for the heads-up, Litlgrey. Give it another shot in a bit.
Yes, now it's working. Thanks.
Weehah! Gotta love dat Modern Technology!
Hey Vic,
I was ready to push the download button when I started thinking "hey, I've seen this cover before." And guess what? Hot damn, I OWN this record. Deep in the pile I found it. Thanks for the memories -- in this case, thanks for helping me remember what I have in my own stacks. It's long overdue on the turntable and broadcast on JSP.
