Not at all as good. And I *did* post a review on this list, only not
very big.
There are a couple of tracks with their distinctive combination of
sophisticated beats (a 7/8 song, for example) and beautiful textures,
but most of them seem to be a bit muddled, with none of the wow or the
ooh that I got from the first record.
If you thought that Silver Apples of the Moon was one of the best
records of last year (or was it 95?!), its worth getting because it does
have about 4 or 5 good songs on it. I'm hoping it grows on me. Maybe I
think it's disappointing because it did not open with such a stunner
like Sugar Daddy, which made me woozy when I first heard it.
( Damn, it's hard to write a adequate review of something when you were
disappointed but still like it! It's easier if you just berate it with
all your bile, or laud it with all your lube. Sitting on the fence is no
fun.)
