Wasted Tears

Carmelo has not been afraid to experiment with mood, style - and even some daring improvisation - to extend the range of both musician and listener. The band will go far, since very few with popular appeal also have the courage or the artistic integrity to take this road. "Visions From 3 Pictures (The Fuse)" writen for The Suicidal Poets, clearly one of the best loved bands on the network, have consistently retained their "instant" pop appeal, while yet refusing to sell out and go all out commercial. There can be advantages, after all, in sticking to bouncy pop music for fluffy bunnies, soap addicts, and curb crawling film producers. Every performing artist wants the standing ovation, see the crowd go wild. Some financial remuneration for the weeks, months and years of hard work can be helpful. Taking risks is, well, risky. I admire anyone who puts out a track 12 minutes and 15 seconds long for a free mp3 download for one thing. I was wondering what the band would come up with that would play almost as long as Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I was not disappointed. Once again, my hat goes off to the band. I am not a great film fan, though, since I like my mind to conjure its own pictures, and in any case, the rot was already well set in even in the great silent days. I mean, look what happened with Faustus - it wasn't only Hollywood that dumbed down the classics. It was happening right at the very beginning, even with those incredible art sets. The medium was more powerful than the guy directing the camera, the writers, the plot, the actors or the audience. One day it will stop having any effect at all, then we will dream again... Their tracks comes in with BIG film music sound. It's really a great intro, the helicopter's eye view of the Acropolis, wheeling down and panning out to the arena of the Gods. The scene quickly melts into one of the band rehearsing before the gig. A choppy welter of fusion riff, which drops down suddenly into cavernous booming depths. Carmelo walks to the window and looks out onto a strange vista. Suddenly that dream of last night began to make sense. She knew that she should never have given the blue bottle with the bone in to that man in the doorway. She spent all night looking for that bone and that bottle, but by the end it had turned into a small furry creature that lived in a caravan in the next-door neighbours back garden. Staying up to 6 am mixing the track certainly does weird things to your head. After four or five minutes into Visions from 3 Pictures, a pale blue interlude and a delicious cascade of chords, a lone pianist goes mad in an attic. White horses surf in on a tide of glissando. The devil rises up over the village at the beginning of Faustus - which had nothing to do with Faustus, but the crowd loved the effect, just like they loved Jurassic Park 70 years later. The pianist turns out to be Beethoven. The Fur Elise is perhaps the definitive "unrequited love" song of all time. When Ludwig gave the song to Elise, she said it sounded like a funeral dirge. Elise, probably, did not have the crazy, unfathomable height and depth and breadth that Beethoven saw when he looked into his heart and saw the beautiful image of Elise. The secret of the Fur Elise is one that Beethoven could not utter, though it dances silently between the notes of every piece of music he wrote. He, like his contemporaries, and like most of western civilisation even now, built his Kingdom of Heaven from the bricks and mortar supplied by Plato. The fissure in that train of thought that today is a yawning abyss that still no one sees but the visionary, standing alone, caused a thousand symphonies, a million poems to be composed. Each one running - from fissure to fissure, from fissure to abyss. But as the Faithful know, the death of the Lord was a Glorious one. Even Faustus was saved, in the end (though not in my version, but that's another story). We're back into the fusion riff, but more broken up. The camera pulls away from the band, revealing that the nightclub is now empty. Only the bust of Ludwig Van Beethoven, frowning, next to the mantelpiece. Once upon a time, many earnest, marijuana toking pop music fans, tried very hard to like The Beatles (well, really John & Yoko's) "Revolution Number 9". In those days, art was becoming painfully self conscious, resulting in the "deconstructionist" phase in schools and colleges that has inspired the new age movement of today. Pop music began to take itself seriously. John Cage wired up a piano, and the Velvet Underground wired up an entire generation on speed. Narcissus looked at Narcissus, and both of them were strangled by weeds. Beatle Paul sang: "And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make." I always thought the impression created by the music was so much better than the lyrical ideas! I doubt if Paul read Plato, but Plato must have known that one day, the Ideal of Perfection would be replaced by the Ideal of Your Whim. Woolworth introduced Pick 'n' Mix selections about the same time that Hey Jude was climbing up the charts towards the number one position. Great tune! "Visions From 3 Pictures" actually works where "Revolution" fails to work. "Revolution" had the advantage of being created by The Beatles and the fact that it could have been created on two Fuji Cheri reel to reel tape recorders (for all I know). But I don't want to listen to it! I DO want to listen to "Visions from 3 Pictures", and I know exactly why. It is emotional, emotive, and visionary - as opposed to conceptual. I prefer to see fish swimming in the sea than frozen in tanks. If my memory serves me well, this unusual anthem has already topped several charts here at BeSonic. I shall continue to follow this band's career with interest. Watch this space! reviewed by Aeon7
