THE MOOG COOKBOOK contains versions of alternative hits performed on Moog synthesizers.
The Moog Cookbook: Meco Eno, Uli Nomi.
THE MOOG COOKBOOK is a space-age grunge send-up, with various hits of the Nirvana era redone in a variety of retro styles on extremely cheesy sounding drum machines and analog keyboards from the '70s. Thus Green Day's power punk "Basket Case" morphs into what sounds like the backing track for a Doobie Brothers song featuring Michael McDonald. R.E.M.s "The One I Love" turns into the theme from "Sanford and Son." Soundgarden's "Black Hole Son" is could easily be mistaken for something from the LAMBADA soundtrack. The cream of the jest is that THE MOOG COOKBOOK is largely the brainchild of Roger Manning, formerly of ambitious early '90s psychedelic popsters Jellyfish. What Manning is skewering so wickedly here is, of course, the musical movement that effectively shut his old band down in the marketplace.
In all, this collection is extremely funny, extremely nasty, and an astute piece of rock criticism.
