CD Reviews

...And the world stood still...
Igor Kordey | Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada | 10/31/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Still overwhelmed with beautiful and strong emotions after their yesterday's concert in Winnipeg (apparently the last one in their Canadian tour, promoting this CD), I just feel strong urge to share and point finger on "Candian best kept secret", amazing Rheostatics, as something extremely important and exeptional in contemporary music. I collect music for years and years, and as time goes by, there are less and less individuals or bands out there, whose each new CD's I'm really anticipating with great thrill, knowing that they always have something exciting, fresh and original to offer. Rheostatics are certainly among

those few, and they did it again with "2067". I have all of their albums (including Tielli's solo projects) , and, in their own terms , it is impossible to range and compare"2067" with the rest - it is not better or worst, it's just different , strong, compelling and provocative like all of them -

artistical statement par exellance. It is also impossible to compare

Rheostatics with other performers - such big amount of mental and artistical freedom, combined with quirky sense of humor, makes them quite unique in rock universe. Talking about skills, they are, again, quite unique - All of them(Tielli, Bidini, Vesely and Woyewoda) are excellent singers and multi-instrumentalists, and not just that - Bidini paralelly

pushes his writing career (his a fine essayist), and Tielly is amazing painter, one of few in Canada who has something to say in his paintings and drawings, in terms of visual culture and engagement.

Tielly is a specal addition to band's presentation - he always creates band's covers, so in case of Rheostatics you always have rare oportunity to experience complete and original artistical point of view - sound AND word AND picture.

Frank Zappa said: "Rock is not dead, it just smells funny". In case of Rheostatics, it is very alive, because it is still free, avoiding any limitations and tags, and therefore it smells beautifully.

Salvador Dali said: "Perfect things are boring". In case of Rheostatics, their (intentional) shabbyness and infinite change of mood and technique in just one song, is absolutely charming, and guarantees that their music won't for sure become boring after repetitive listening.

I'm not Canadian, but I'm extremely proud to have Rheostatics in my neighborhood. I won't hassle you to buy their record(s), but if you want to support and make tick one of the last outposts of freedom of mind in this harsh world of globalisation, you can certainly do something about it. Rheostatics won't complain - they need to pay their bills too...

IGOR"
Superb!

"The Rheostatics have always had an ability to create the most amazing albums. Lyrically, they're touching, evocative and comical. Instrumentally, they're masters of mood and catchy tunes. This album is no slouch in the Rheo's discography. It's nothing like their earlier work - less obviously experimental, more accessible, but nothing like the mainstream junk that plagues the music world these days. Some of the songs on this album are incredible. There are no bad songs here. I love Power Ballad for Ozzy Ozborne and I Dig Music. A great album. Buy it."
