Amazon offers Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven (Audio CD),07 November, 2000 List price $17.98 Shake your Canadian Fists / 4 This is a significant improvement over the mediocre UXO release. The music herein moves with a compelling direction and there is an internal logic to what's on offer here that sets them apart from their own work as well as others like Explosions In The Sky and the knob-obsessed Pelican. Throughout the progress of the tracks on each disc there is an intriguing blend of instrumentation, each passage rising organically from foundations laid as the music progresses. I haven't heard this sophisticated a stream of musical consciouness since the Topographic days of YES. While not as overtly Stravinsky-based as Anderson and Co, these Canadians have that sense of working on a much bigger canvas with an incredible array of colours on their palette. All of it works. I found myself surprised when each disc ended. That in itself is a significant improvement over UXO. Hopefully they shall survive as a working team. Who knows what recognition in GOURMET magazine will do to them. An odd karmic twist for a band that disdains its own success and the retailing efforts to which it must concede. With this release they establish themselves as having quite a lot to say musically in the dialogues among each other, and I'm hoping that discussion continues. Song "Beep" Muppet #1 (sung): If it says one, then I go beep. If it says two, then I go beep beep. If it says three, then I go beep beep beep. And that's the way it's done. Muppet #2 (spoken): Yeah, but what if it says four? Muppet #1 (sung): I go beep beep beep beep, nothing more. Muppet #2 (spoken): But what if it says more than four? Muppet #1 (sung really fast): Then I go Beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep- (into incomprehension, and screen fills up with circles) Muppet #2 (spoken): Like what if it says forty-six? Muppet #1 (sung really fast again): Then I go Beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep- (into more incomprehension, and the screen fills up with forty-six circles) (sung at normal speed) Now, I used to get confused about my numbers, Whether it was three or one or four or two. But now I find my numbers very easy, 'Cause this is what I do ... If it says one, then I go beep. If it says two, then I go beep beep. If it says three, then I go beep beep beep. And that's the way it's done. Muppet #2 (spoken): Yeah, but what if it says four? Muppet #1 (sung): I go beep beep beep beep, nothing more. Muppet #2 (spoken): So when it says one, you go Beep (and so on, repeating all the verses) Muppet #2 (spoken): But what if it says three million, seven hundred forty-six thousand, nine hundred eighty-two? Muppet #1 (spoken): That's easy, man. (sung really fast): Then I go Beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep- (into still more incomprehension, and screen fills up with still more circles. I think this is one of those places where they're different sizes and colors. I'm not sure what lines come next, if any. Then, at the end:) Both: Beep beep beep beep, beep beep beep!
