Después de unas cuantas entradas demasiado filosóficas y sesudas, va siendo hora de darnos un gustazo. Igual que existen películas cuyo argumento es precisamente las películas (La noche americana, de Truffaut; Cautivos del mal, de Vincente Minnelli; El crepúsculo de los dioses, de Billy Wilder; Ed Wood, de Tim Burton, y mil más...) también hay canciones que hablan de la música, posiblemente en un número incluso mayor. Casi ningún artista se ha privado de componer una canción cuyo argumento sea precisamente la autoreferecia: desde los Rolling Stones, elevando un estilo musical a la categoría de icono (It's Only Rock'n'Roll, But I like It), hasta la inefable Madonna, alardeando de títulos originales (Music).
After a few posts with some sort of "philosphical" approach, I think it's high time we just indulged ourselves once in a while. As well as there are films about films (Truffaut's Day For Night, Minnelli's The Bad and The Beautiful, Wilder's Sunset Boulevard, Tim Burton's Ed Wood, and thousands more...) there's also music about music, and even in a bigger amount than films. Nearly all artists have fallen back on such an exercise of self-reference: from the Rolling Stones, with their iconic It's Only Rock'n'Roll (But I Like It), to the ineffable Madonna, showing a great sense of originality in song-naming (Music).
The Apples in Stereo muestran su repertorio de voces y vocoders al más puro estilo Electric Light Orchestra en todo el álbum (escúchese Energy, Same Old Drag ó 7 Stars) y Can You Feel It? no es más que la tarjeta de presentación de un surtido de grandes canciones con las que disfrutar de esa cosa tan simple llamada música desde el minuto cero.
The Apples in Stereo show their repertoire of vocals and vocoders following the Electric Light Orchestra's style in their album (listen to Energy, Same Old Drag or 7 Stars), and Can You Feel It? is nothing but a smart opening to an assortment of great songs with which everyone can enjoy that simple little thing called music from the word go.Enlaces/Links:The Apples in Stereo official website: www.applesinstereo.comThe Apples in Stereo on Myspace, Facebook, Twitter
