Music reviews of You Think You Really Know Me
Music Review: Classic document of idiosyncrasies, musical and otherwise
Rating: 5 Stars
I love this album, and I really don't understand why everyone keeps saying "Oh, he's so strange, he's so disturbing, weird...etc..etc." Sure, it's no Cutting Crew or Haircut 100, but musically I find it to be not completely "out there."
It is unique, that's for sure. Where else are you going to find all these particular influences in one place? Steely Dan chords, feedback, James Brown grunts, musique concr?te ... And no matter how odd the visuals strick you, and how obsessed he seems by various girls in his songs, the jazzy chords frame it in an aloof "coolness" that takes the edge off the obsession and makes it fun and innocent. And even though he went into some sort of self-imposed "exile" in San Diego, when he emerged for his comeback he sure seemed pretty much in control of his image, his art and his sanity, at least to me. And it shouldn't be ignored that he recorded most of it (all of it?) by himself, on a 4-track reel-to-reel in his parents' damp cellar, just a few feet away from those iconic water pipes on the cover. When I listen to this album, I can't help but think of this quote by teh late modern dancer/choreographer Martha Graham:
"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you."
