专辑介绍

by Donald A. Guarisco

One of the most intriguing novelty hits of the early '70s was &Popcorn,& a spacey pop instrumental that utilized an array of otherworldly textures performed on a Moog synthesizer (and some funky drumming from a flesh-and-blood percussionist) to bring an insanely-catchy pop melody to life. This hit and several other novelties in a similar electronic pop vein can be found on Popcorn, a collection of material by Hot Butter that includes the entirety of their two albums Hot Butter and More Hot Butter. The material from Hot Butter consists mostly of synth-oriented covers of other instrumental hits, plus instrumental covers of a few then-recent vocal hits. The best tunes in this batch are &At the Movies,& a pop instrumental that avoids the obvious electronic gimmicks to create a nice mid-tempo melody, and &Love at First Sight,& an ethereal re-working of the classic Serge Gainsbourg tune &Je T'aime, Moi Non Plus.& The material from More Hot Butter delivers more of the same. This time, the highlights are a catchy cover of &Percolator,& a bouncy novelty very close in style to &Popcorn,& and &Sounds,& a danceable slice of electro-pop driven by hand claps and some insistent drumming. Despite these occasional strong tunes, neither album delivers anything as memorable or durable as &Popcorn,& and both suffer from an overload of gimmicky throwaway tunes. Ultimately, Popcorn is a solidly-crafted but inconsistent collection that will only be of serious interest to hardcore fans of novelty pop.
