I have no appreciation for this kind of improvisational jazz and "reconstruction" of pop music. It's barely recognizable as Abba's tune. I guess that's the point, but why bother? All that banging and clanging and thumping. It's like a kid having a tantrum in a music store. Way too cerebral. To me music should be more visceral. I want to tap my foot and hum along and shake my body. Listening to this makes me want to run from the room.
Yeah, I was cranky this afternoon. I ought not to have left a comment at all. Reading it now I'm embarrassed. Sound like a crotchety old... fill in the blank. ;^)
Oh, another great choice!!

I love fishing the original song from what they've done with it. It will be BAD PLUS all week, John. Sorry they are not to your taste.

ReplyDeleteYou never have to apologize for being cranky here. I like controversy over things like music.
ReplyDeleteYou've got to listen to Snarky Puppy.
