Right Doug? Yeah, but Godley & Creme invented the Gizmo. Certainly a very important invention too. In any case, I haven't heard "Consequence" because it's very difficult to find, but Godley and Creme's "Freezeframe" is a wonderful album. The song "I Pity Inanimate Objects" is one of my favorite songs of all time. The album "Birds of Prey" is also excellent. I also have "L", and though I think it has much artistic merit, I'm not so wild about it personally. "Snack Attack" (alias "Ismism") sucks, though, and I haven't bought their most recent album because I can't stand "Cry". "And what choice for the suger cube?

I looked for several years for a copy before I found one, but it was unquestionably worth the wait. (for me anyway) The first disc is all music, featuring the gizmo on side one. As a matter of fact, the first side is almost entirely gizmo, with only a few vocal, percussion, and piano parts thrown in. The second side is also mostly gizmo, but seems to aim more at using it as part of an ensemble. The remaining two discs contain an audio play by Peter Cook, into which are woven additional songs. The play is hysterical on the surface, and even more so when you start listening to some of the things going on in the background. Absolute loonacy. The music is great as well. >but Godley and Creme's "Freezeframe" is a >wonderful album. The song "I Pity Inanimate Objects" is one of my >favorite songs of all time. Great album too! >The album "Birds of Prey" is also excellent. I wasn't so impressed with BIRDS OF PREY, though I thought that "My Body The Car" was inspired. Overall, I thought the album was ok, but not too exciting. >I also have "L", and though I think it has much artistic >merit, I'm not so wild about it personally.

I happened to like SNACK ATTACK/ISMISM, though I can see why it might not work for everybody, even G&C fans. The new album (HISTORY MIXES VOL. I) is interesting, but certianly not essential. It consists of side long "beat box" style remix/medleys of older G&D and 10cc tracks. > > "And what choice for the suger cube? > But to drown in coffee > Or to drown in tea?"
