    Plays the Music dans Vital

    «Review», Frans de Waard, Vital, no 516, 10 mars 2006
    vendredi 10 mars 2006 Presse

    And oh yes, I do like popmusic. People sometimes ask if I do play ‘normal’ music, and I state that all music is normal, but that by some definition I also like regular popmusic. So, yes, I do like The Unireverse, an all Moog trio of Alex Moskos (ex member of the experimental rock band Kubelka), Brian Damage (ex member of Phÿcus) and Michael Caffrey (of Daydream Square and ex member of Beautifuzz), and they are from Canada, in case these band names don’t mean a thing. They play way-out strange covers of popmusic. I did recognize U Feel Love (aka “I Feel Love”), but Tomorrow Never Knows is really something different than the highly respected original. Retro is written all over this release. The Unireverse play four covers in total, besides the two already mentioned, also Transparent Radiation (Red Krayola) and the infamous Brainticket by Brainticket (and perhaps better known as the cover that Nurse With Wound did as Brained By Fallen Masonry). The originals are hidden in there, but The Unireverse stretch things out to incredible length, moving the pieces into different areas, a large space jam. In between they have short compositions of their own making, which are great bridges between the tracks. My favorites are the Donna Summer and Brainticket ones. Prog-rock is written all over, but it has surely a nice twist all around. Excellent stuff to scare off those who sanctify the originals and impress new friends with something entirely ‘new and exciting’. Just simply great, witty and to cherish.
