Review:
Revolution on Ice... makes Fleming's cynicism more explicit. The
title and cartoon artwork are a combined blast at the corporate
co-opting of the alternative-rock revolt; songs like "Revolution on
the Rocks" and "Nights on Fire" bristle with embittered surrender and
accusatory rage. The album's open-wound air, however, makes it
Gumball's strongest effort to date. Revolution on Ice...
crackles with a dark, seductive intensity, heightened by the extra
guitars and keyboards of new recruit Malcolm Riviera (an old Velvet
Monkeys crony). The BÖC connection is reinforced by a letter-perfect
rendition of "She's as Beautiful as a Foot," complete with guest
vocals by that band's original drummer, Albert Bouchard.
Malcolm Riviera played Keyboards and Guitar, but the true
GENIUSES of
the Velvet Monkeys are Don Fleming (Vocals, guitar, bass), Jay
"The Rummager" Spiegel (Drums, vocals), and many, many others.

Your prize ??? no prize ... I know it's lame ... but I just thought I was so clever to come up with this Bush/Monkey thing ... that I just had to post it somewhere ... thanks T
Malcolm, in high school I had one of those space helmet 8-track players. My mom sold it, and all my 8-tracks, at a yard sale while I was off at college...
