Artist: Fox Box Strategy
Album: David Lynch Presents: Fox Bat Strategy: A Tribute to Dave Jaurequi [EP]
Worth Buying: I thought so
You Will Be Interested in this album if you a fan of: 50's rock, Blues, Dreamy etheral 50's influenced blues rock, music from the Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me soundtracks
Tell Me More: This music project originated out of the band of musicians that film maker David Lynch put together to create music for the Twin Peaks Movie "Fire Walk With Me". They appread on two tracks from the movie soundtrack and made cameo appearances in the movie. Aftwards Lynch invited them into the studio for an experimental collaberation. The 6 tracks on this CD where the result. This was back in 1994 but they remained
unreleased till now.
I don't know why they where unreleased till now, but I am glad that they where. If you ever watched the Twin Peaks TV show and liked the dreamy 50's drenched music that came out of the diner jukebokx or the roadhouse blues that came out of the Movie, You are going to enjoy these songs. They sound completely in place with the rest of the music from those two soundtracks. But if even if you are not familiar with the music from these two soundtracks, or maybe even not familiar with or don't like the films of David Lynch, I think you will enjoy it on it's own if you are a fan of 50's era rock and blues. Just be prepared for a more dream like take on these two musical styles (Think Sleep Walk by Santo and Johnny only darker).
This EP is dedicated to the groups lead singer Dave Jaurequi who passed away in 2006.
What about the packaging? Nothing special going on with the packaging. Standard jewel case with a simple 2 sided insert and that's it. No booklet, no extensive liner notes. The Music is certainly worth buying but given that this is only 7 songs for $11.99 (the current Amazon CD price) some of the more budget minded might want to consider getting the mp3 version for only $6.23 (once again the current Amazon mp3 album price).
Amazon is probably the easiest way to get the Cd version though, since I doubt that very many brick and stores will be carring this album and once it goes out of print, I doubt we will see it re-issued.
