| Description: | A truly unclassifiable artist, Sigmund Snopek III was relatively anonymous among the popular band THE VIOLENT FEMMES. The art of this iconoclast can eventually be related to that of THE MOODY BLUES and Kevin GODLEY & Lol CREME. An obscure album issued in 1972, the now famous "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf ?" was full of ambition: it's heteroclite Progressive rock taking after some of the early Frank ZAPPA, rock, classical or contemporary music, ethnic music and jazz, all in an audacious blend. On "Nobody to Dream" (1975), he blends refined neo-classical tracks, classic-pop orchestrated songs, pop-songs, elegant and airy melodies. "Thinking Out Loud" (1997) includes five added tracks, compared with the original 1978 version. Two years later, the fabulous "First Band on the Moon" could be heard as a true Snopekian manifesto ! "Roy Rogers Meets Albert Einstein" is an excellent 1982 millesime, characterized by a division in three works ("Ride in the Dark", "Roy Rogers Meets Albert Einstein.Recorded at Shade Tree Recording Studio. |
