Message-ID: <1232@pucc-h> Date: Thu, 20-Sep-84 23:29:23 EDT Article-I.D.: pucc-h.1232 Posted: Thu Sep 20 23:29:23 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 25-Sep-84 21:10:19 EDT References: <1224@pucc-h> Organization: Splunge! Lines: 16 I've only listened to Fresh Aire's fifth album, but from that (and from various other similar idea groups, e.g. Sky) it strikes me that these types of groups lack a good solid background in current popular music because they don't realize what is old hat (i.e. BORING) from that style. I mean I enjoy listening to such music every now and then because it does have a unique flavour (ooh, such imagery!), but then I have hundreds of albums that offer different aspects of popular music and do it much better. In other words, I enjoy their music much more when they do something other than emulate simplistic popular styles. Of course, Fresh Aire does have a few other albums. Could someone who has these summarize what Fresh Aire I-V are all about, please. Thanks. -- Jeff Lewis {decvax|ucbvax|allegra|seismo|harpo|teklabs|ihnp4}!pur-ee!lewie
