Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Some rare gems
Submitted on: 2007-01-12 |

| I was not a first generation Spike Jones, but I have to say this is pretty cool. This is the kind of music I used to dig on Tom and Jerry cartoons and just didn't know where to find it. This isn't a lot of the common novelty songs (Like Der Fuher's Face, Cocktails for Two.) But I think it's better because you get some things you wouldn't find elsewhere. Frantic Freeway, Powerhouse, and a really interesting version of the Nutrcracker Suite. |

| Off beat, wacky stuff is what you'll find on this recording. If your tired of mainstream pop music/culture you will love this very different and entertaining work. For example, I enjoyed "Frantic Freeway" with car horns in tune to a crazy beat. This album is a break from typical music and a good sampling of Spike's work. |

More Spike for outsiders

| A rare WELL DOCUMENTED compilation, that gives a pretty good idea of Spike's evolution, environment and ideas. Plus a couple of extremely rare "unvollendete" cuts! Not to miss, along with the "Musical Depreciation Revue Anthology". Yeah! |

When the Deep Purple Falls... You Hear The Crash!
Submitted on: 2002-06-04 |

| Spike Jones was a rarity: a musical comic. And this compilation shows him at his ridiculous best, offering a sampling of musical jokes that even the musically unsophistocated will find funny to the point of exhausting laughter. Jones was perhaps most famous for his take-offs of popular romantic songs, and this collection offers two of his best. In "Laura," Jones allows the song a lushly orchestrated verse... and then uses sound effects to ridicule the song's romantic lyrics. "Deep Purple" is even more extreme: the singer is as sleepy as his song (in fact he dozes off once or twice), and when the "Deep Purple Falls" it does so with a disconcerting crash. Other Jones recordings subvert the original version of the music in equally unlikely ways. "Holiday for Strings," written specifically for strings, has cowbells, carhorns, even chickens clucking--but NO strings, and if you can get through the final seconds of the song with out laughing until you cry you probably deserve a prize. If you've often heard of Spike Jones but have never actually heard very much of his music, this collection is an excellent choice, and it should keep you entertained for hours on end. The CD comes with fairly detailed liner notes about Spike Jones and his orchestra and career as well. Strongly recommended for any one in need of a REALLY good laugh set to music! |
