American Analog Set has divulged on the concept of the anti-album.
What keeps an album like this relevant is that the band took themselves seriously and believed in what they were creating.
The band’s second release may not stack up to the force of their later career releases, but it does show a powerful transgression from their debut, and a sense they they know more of what they are doing.
A simple homage in name to Ray Charles’ Genius + Soul = Jazz, it’s a shame that this double-CD compilation did not get more recognition. Trouser Press gave the album one sentence of attention calling it no more than “thoroughly fine.”
