Music reviews of As Time Goes By
Music Review: Carpenters/ As Time Goes By
Rating: 5 Stars
As Time Goes by, a marketing effort by A&M to promote sagging sales of Carpenters product that by this time in 1980 was suffering from an on slought of popularity from other genres. It seemed that the soft rock/adult contemporary rave of the late 70s was becoming dated. Richard Carpenter, a marketing marvel for A&M in those days understood how to squeeze the most dollar out of his work. By re-releasing his songs in medley format he could easily capture the old magic and delight his fans without boring them. Not much on this record is new other than a few original Carpenter/Bettis pieces sung brilliantly by Karen. However the one gem that stands out above the rest and sets Richard Carpenter apart from all other songwriter/arranger wanna be's and gives this cd it's stand alone value is the brilliant "Without A Song" Hearing this song explains the true musical genius of Richard Carpenter. He remains unchallenged in the recording industry with his ability to layer and capture harmony, perform, produce and arrange. Karen demonstrates once again that she is at the top of her craft unwavering in her vocal perfection and gifted expression. Carpenters fans will not be disappointed by this effort because of this epic song that starts the first side and demonstrates to the entire recording world that this is how it's done. I credit Herb Alpert and Bob Garcia for recognizing the enormous talent of these two gifted artists and their successful career as a recording phenomena.
