5 out of 5 stars After HOW DARE YOU -------- 5 cc.......2007-01-06

Kevin Godley & Lol Creme got together in 1969. Calling themselves Frabjou, the duo issued the single, "I'm Beside Myself." At EMI/CAPITOL in 1972, and under the name Hotlips, they went to #5 in Britain and made the American Top 40 with the afro-beat based "Neanderthal Man," a song long on hypnoticism but short on lyrics. Godley & Creme, along with Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart and a new name-- 10cc, next signed with UK records. 10cc's first song for this label, "Donna," reached #2 in Britain. "Rubber Bullets," their next single, went all the way to #1. An album was released. None of these efforts charted in America.

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.

One of my all time favorites and it's great to have it back in my collection. Thanks for your promptness.

5 out of 5 stars You Dare Not!.......2005-07-27

As often as I enjoyed 10cc in the 70s, and regardless how many of their albums I purchased on vinyl, they appear to have been somewhat overlooked in the frenzy of group reunions and even to some extent on classic rock stations. I still hear "The Things We Do for Love" from "Deceptive Bends" and "I'm Not in Love" from "The Original Soundtrack," but nothing otherwise; more the pity, because 10cc was innovative and creative. Even in the creative and musically explosive 70s they were one of the most interesting and unusual groups.

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.

5 out of 5 stars A Sleeper.......2005-03-17

At first, I didn't think this album had much to offer. I'm Mandy, and Art For Art's Sake were all I loved. Later when going to visit my parents on a four and a half hour drive, I listened to this and Original Soundtrack (AMAZING ALBUM) over and over, and the variable charms of the songs make themselves apparent, and the album is not only one of 10cc's most serious, layered, and mature albums, it's also one of their best, and a great way for Godley and Creme to exit.

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!

    5 out of 5 stars 10cc's recording and songwriting peak...a great album.......2004-11-05

    This enormously listenable work still holds up beautifully today, and competes with the band's 1977 release "Deceptive Bends" as far as which is best, but both climb the hierachy of greatness. 10cc should have been much bigger than they were, but at the same time I'm glad they never went TOO commercial as it might have ruined them. That listenable way they have of going through several changes within a single song is always captivating--it's hard NOT to keep listening to this album, what with its sense of humor throughout, and just good "hooks" and melodies that immediately become addictive upon listening. Favorites on this album are "I'm Mandy, Fly Me", "Art for Art's Sake," "Head Room," and in general, pretty much the whole album. 10cc was a true original...no doubt of that. The hooks, the catchy music with so many time signatures and the changes the band goes through within a single song still amaze me. And the illuminating harmony and phrasing catches the band's charactistic sound. This is a must have for all 10cc fans. Great stuff. One of my favorite albums of the 1970s. Best to also have "Deceptive Bends" on hand to compare the two and get twice the musical enjoyment.

    5 out of 5 stars '76 FOLLOW UP TO GREAT " THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK" SOARS.......2004-03-14

    I am a big fan of 10cc. Songwriting with plenty of hooks, angelic harmonies, and witty lyrics typlified this group's main assets as a supergroup. The originial members consisted of Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Lol Creme, and Kevin Godley who combined their great talents perfectly. In generally summarizing their material, Gouldman and Stewart primarily provided the catchy hooks, Creme and Godley provided their sometimes weird but fun and creative wit. All four together, they performed their beautifully crafted art-rock with extraordinary harmonies.

    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.

    4 out of 5 stars How dare you not buy this CD?.......2003-02-27

    If you're browsing the 10cc section, the chances are that you already have a reasonable idea of what you're looking for. Well, you've found it. 'How dare you?' stands up against the very best that 10cc has to offer. With only the occasional lapse in concentration, the band present us with another classic body of work. With enough hooks to snare the harshest critic, it's all aboard for a ride through pop standards, lavish production numbers, tight harmonies, and technically adept guitaring. 'Art for art's sake', 'Lazy ways', 'Rock and roll lullaby', and 'Don't hang up' stand up to the test of time particularly well, but if that's not enough for you then 'I'm Mandy fly me' should do the trick.

    5 out of 5 stars Telephone Madness.......1999-12-29

    I first heard the big singles from this album ( Art and Mandy ) way back when they were released in the mid-70s. Classic high quality pop songs with a slight otherworld quality to them. It was great to hear the whole album again. It has so many facets. Always loved the album cover too. I reckon the original 10cc line-up should re-form for some gigs.

          5 out of 5 stars Sheer and utter beauty.......2002-07-09

          As I always state, I am a Purcell worshipper. His harmonies, counterpoint, and text underlay are absolutely unique and wonderful. I second what was said in another review. Get the complete work if you can. However, this highlights disk is awfully fine listening.

          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).

          5 out of 5 stars One of the best baroque performances on disc.......1999-03-11

          I guess, if you're unsure whether you will like this kind of music you may decide to try a "highlights" recording. I'd encourage you, however, to buy the entire thing. When it comes to Les Arts Florissants, you can't go wrong. As with many other Les Arts Florissants recordings, this one followed a live production, and it shows: the vocal and orchestral characterization of the music is all the more expressive and meaningful. King Arthur, like most other Purcell's "operas," is a combination of spoken drama and "incidental music" to accompany it. Les Arts Florissants presented the entire four-hour spectacle on stage, but committed to disc only the musical part. Yet, even without the spoken word, every scene feels complete. Especially memorable are the scene of sacrifice in the first act, the famous scene of the Cold Genius (wonderfully sung by Petteri Salomaa); and the succession of vocal numbers in the fifth act, including "The Fairest Isle" (in which Veronique Gens simply shines) and the incredible ATB trio "For Folded Flocks" (Padmore, Paton, Best). Incidentally, here as elsewhere, Christie adopts a lower pitch of a' 392 Hz in order to enable high tenors (hautes-contre) to sing alto parts. This has become Christie's signature practice, and it is perfectly borne out by the latest scientific research into authentic baroque performance methods. This recording won a major Gramophone award in 1995, a very deserved recognition of excellence!
