Moondog - Moondog

I'm glad ISB chose this for the album club, I'd never heard it before.

I really hate giving a score of 10/10. For that score to have any meaning it has to be reserved for a very rare kind of album, and each time another album gets that score it somehow diminishes that score's meaning, however Moondog's self titled leaves me with no other choice, it really is that good. Compressing symphonic ideas into a few minutes is like compressing a novel into a blog post, it shouldn't work, but it does. His use of percussion and sense of groove is unique. This can't be described as a good example of any particular genre or scene, it's coming from a completely different planet, the result of a person not only living outside of society's norms, but being entirely comfortable in that place.

10/10

His 30 minute album with Julie "Mary Poppins" Andrews is fun too!
