10cc and The Tubes.......2007-07-19
After HOW DARE YOU -------- 5 cc.......2007-01-06
Going over to PHONOGRAM/MERCURY records, the group hit their stride in 1975 with "I'm Not In Love." This beautifully melancholy song was augmented by an ethereal electronically-enhanced semi-choir. After "THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK" album came HOW DARE YOU, which had two songs ("Art For Art's Sake," and "I'm Mandy, Fly Me") that charted well in Britain. Unfortunately, this was the last collaboration by these four musicians. Differences of opinion sent Godley & Creme their own way, while Stewart and Gouldman carried on as 10cc.
When I first heard this album in the spring of '76, I was convinced it was the second coming of the Beatles. Thirty years of hindsight proves that to be a slight overestimation. Regardless, it's all still very good, and holds up well with the passage of time. Personal favorites are: "Head Room," "I Wanna Rule The World," and "Iceberg." "Don't Hang Up," the album's final track, cuts off abruptly with a CLICK and a dial tone. This seems like a perfect ending, and probably says something about how these four guys finished up.
10cc.......2006-03-23
You Dare Not!.......2005-07-27
The title track starts off with a Samba flavor that introduces additional elements one at a time, keeping the Samba beat in the background until suddenly the lead guitar changes the musical flavor to a harder edge. My only complaint is that this instrumental could have been much longer.
The next song is "Lazy Ways," which combines Eric Stewart's vocal talents the phenomenal instrumental talents of 10cc. Particularly interesting are the Moog synthesizer and clavinet played by Lol Creme. Lol uses the Moog like an organ, which generates a unique sound for this song. The lyrics match the song, and the result is a perfect example of a nicely crafted rock song.
While the next song has its silly moments, musically it is fun and interesting. Furthermore, "I Wanna Rule the World" also has incredible lyrics. How many songs contain lines such as:
A brave new world will rise from the ashes
And there upon a rock titanic, I'll cast a giant
Shadow on the face of the deep
And never again will they dare to call me
A freckled, spotty, specky, four-eyed
Weedy little creep
Next is one of the gems on this CD. "I'm Mandy Fly Me" has a humorous title based on a series of television commercials from a bygone era. However, the music is serious and wonderful, with a combination of vocals and instrumentals that require you listen to the song with your full attention to appreciate it. My mere words are incapable of explaining how wonderful this song is. In addition to Eric Stewart's vocals, this song also features a long bridge that musically describes the crash of a plane. The pace of the song has several changes throughout that will keep you focused on this song from beginning to end.
Lyrically 10cc is creative and almost surreal. The members of the group often juxtapose elements that appear to be unrelated. The lyrics of "Iceberg" fall into this category. Though lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, I think these lyrics deal with a woman, and how her significant other perceives her. All the lyrical elements are pieces of how the singer thinks about his relationship with her; of course their relationship is rocky and his thoughts are in turmoil. The music is similar tumultuous and mixed, with the end result being an unusual and uniquely 10cc song.
The next song is incredible, and should be one of the all time best rock songs. "Art for Art's Sake" seems simple, but of course it is not. The elements range from progressive to rock, with smatters of other genres thrown in for seasoning. The bass parts of this song are outstanding with good speakers. The ethereal portions contrast well with the heavy rock beat. More than a dozen instruments were used on this song, which helps explain why I think it is complex, and also explains why this song is difficult to describe.
Consistent with 10cc's eclectic nature is "Rock `n' Roll Lullaby." The lyrics are typically interesting, but the slow, mellow music is the interest in this song. This song also features a glockenspiel, which is a very unusual instrument for a nominally rock song. The lead guitar in this song has places where it sets itself well away from the other instruments. The bass is also heavily featured in a few places. A Dobro, more properly called a resonator guitar, can also be readily heard in places. Often these guitars are played with a slide, and so they are sometimes called slide guitars, but Graham Gouldman seems to be plucking the strings, creating the unique sound on this song.
The double entendre and pun-filled song "Head Room" follows. The music is pretty average, though the lyrics have moments of interest. There are times when I enjoy this song, and other times when I find it slightly annoying. The song has a slight blues flavor from time to time that makes it different from the other songs on this CD.
The final song is one of the most brilliant songs in music. "Don't Hang Up" is a song that begins sadly, as the singer laments the separation between him and his wife. The song then flashes back to the earlier days, the romance, the marriage and the honeymoon. The song also indicates that others thought their marriage was doomed from the beginning. It is when the song explains that he is immature, leading into his heartbreak and love for her that the emotions can become powerful for an empathetic listener. The ending of this song is fantastically heartfelt and emotional, and makes this song a must have for those who fancy themselves experts on excellent rock.
This CD includes a bonus song, "Get It While You Can," but I think the bonus song detracts from the power of "Don't Hang Up."
This combination of members of 10cc brought to life too few albums, each with their own charm and experimentation. Unfortunately, this kind of eclectic arty rock found few fans, and 10cc is now remembered by few people, and by nearly none in the most recent generation. However, the CDs are there if you want to listen to something different, and fun, and powerful, with little intent for commercial success, though for a time they were. I also recommend earlier albums "The Original Soundtrack" and "Sheet Music" by 10cc.
A Sleeper.......2005-03-17
The title track instrumental kind of gets things off to a strange start. It's not really all that interesting in some ways: it has a lot of strange instrumentation and ideas, but I don't think it is very cohesive. However, using the melody from the next track, in a piano arrangment, was a great idea.
Because Lazy Days is a wonderful track! It really lacks the strange, sometimes jarring, genre cuts of earlier material: the instrumentation is mostly pretty normal, and the lyrics are good, but not haha funny. But it's absolutely a beauty of a song, especially the "never get up if you don't get up, always be down if you sit around" section. No comedy, no goofiness, no overt experimentation: just crafting an immaculate song.
I Wanna Rule The World follows and it was another that just passed me by at first. It is a very odd collection of riffs, musical ideas, and strange chanting, ranting, and childlike blathering. The ideas musically are STILL brilliant, even if it has no cohesion really, and the singing is funny enough to give it a thumbs up.
I'm Mandy is brilliant, but obviously not what Godley and Creme were interested in. THe melody, the arrangements, the lyrics, the singing, even sampling one of their old songs: all of this helps create one of their most amazing songs, though words barely do it justice.
Next is Iceberg, which is more typical of their older material. An all over the map collage of ideas, barely held together sometimes (could be on Sheet Music!) with strange lyrics that seem not to relate to anything. It is a strong track, pretty in parts, strange in others.
Art For Art's Sake has one of those "so simple and perfect why wasn't it written before" riffs, and lyrics that are BIT transparent, but it also has that beautiful ambient section at the beginning and the middle. Genius in a way I can't describe.
Rock'N Roll Lullaby is a bit of a drag, I'll admit. It's okay, but I don't really understand the point of the song. It doesn't really do anything lyrically or musically, even if it is solid. Oops!
Head Room is a strange blues like excursion with a slightly dumb play on words "just give me some head.........room" blah... it's okay, but another of the weakest tracks.
Don't Hang Up is one of the most heart breaking, brilliant songs the band, or any band, ever recorded. Hard to explain, it has to be experienced.
All in all, a great album hampered by a few tracks that while good just aren't that WOW as the rest. Definitely a buy! Especially if you can get the version i have which has Original Soundtrack on the same cd!

10cc's recording and songwriting peak...a great album.......2004-11-05
'76 FOLLOW UP TO GREAT " THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK" SOARS.......2004-03-14
Before 1975, 10cc was big in the U.K. with very little following in the United States. That all changed with "I'm Not In Love", my personal all-time favorite song, a gem-a classic. Off the equally successful and solid effort from top to bottom, the album "The Original Soundtrack", 10cc was going nowhere but up all over the world. The next year, "How Dare You" came out to less commercial fanfare mainly because it did not possess a standout commercial hit like "I'm Not In Love", a follow-up feat that is hard to accomplish by any band for that matter. However, the continued genius of this peaking band never soars as high then on these 9 tracks. The harmonies are absolutely fantastic. Each song, ranging from the soft and heavenly "Lazy Ways", the romantic "Don't Hang Up", the smooth "Rock N Roll Lullaby" through the funny, "weird" but catchy, accessible wit of "I Wanna Rule The World", Iceberg", "Head Room" and the title track and continued with the superb hooks and superior structure of the great "I'm Mandy Fly Me" and "Art For Arts Sake", concludes that this set is a true classic and proves that 10cc is a band for the ages.

Sheer and utter beauty.......2002-07-09
Track 4 "Come if You Dare" is stunning in its energy and fun. It is almost unfair to single out any track because the excitement is everywhere in this performance.
Track 6 "How Blest Are Shepherds" is especially nice Purcell style lyric beauty.
Well, I could say something nice about every track. The point is - this is a treasure and should be in your collection (but go for the complete version of this same performance if you can).
One of the best baroque performances on disc.......1999-03-11
