FIN DE SIECLE “Plan 3” b/w “Pistachio” (Stanton Park)
A strange bowl of Alpo here, Mr. Greene. This single defiles just about all description, but it’s not without its quirky charms. At the risk of sounding like the blubbering idiot that I am, I’m going to have to throw this one into the New Wave category-- despite all that stupid label implies. “Plan 3” is an almost smphetamine-inspired narrative--not so much for the trippy, psychedelic adjectives in the lyrics as the feeling of panic that the song induces. The instrumental “Pistachio” has this same feel, but conducts itself in a relatively saner fashion. Enjoyable, but not cosmos-shattering. ***
