Mini rose bush = dead

[ChristiMarie]

It was watered the same, kept in the same place, it bloomed... then dried up and died. It's not pretty anymore. Actually, I think all my outside plants are dead except for our chives. Sooooo how do I make my plants pretty and alive again?

I’d like to have a flowery description for the music on this record that would match perfectly with the floweriness of the music. Unfortunately I can’t think of anything. My mind is completely blank. I think my inability to come up with something is a result of the disappointment that lies somewhere between what I expect a record to be at the moment of contact to what it actually is when the sounds hit my ears.

When I first laid eyes on this record I thought to myself, “I bet the music isn’t going to be great, but it’s still a good concept”. Well from the second the needle hit vinyl it was sheer audio tyranny. There’s no point to giving a play by play of songs on the album: they are all exactly the same.

You might like this record if you like plinky, tinky baroque. However I would hazard a guess that even real baroque aficionados (do they exist?) would have a hard time with it.

The best thing this record offers is back-of-the-jacket information about experiments relating to plants and music. According to an experiment by Pearl Weinberger (1968), plants exposed “to high pitched sounds can triple their growth.” If that’s true then our first experiment in The Lab: ”Can Cool It Now Save This Plant?” actually had some scientific merit.
