Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Unbalanced but still brilliant.......2001-07-21

Momus needed money and he needed it fast. So he made an offer his fans couldn't refuse, give him $1000 and he'll write a song about you. Amazingly the plan worked, Momus got $30,000 and 30 fans got to be immortalized. He couldn't help but play favorites though, while songs like Jeff Koons and Mika Akutsu are miniature masterpieces songs like Adam Green are forgettable. Despite the unevenness the album is still enjoyable, and the karaoke tracks will leave you giggling.

5 out of 5 stars Mozart, you're table is ready sir........2000-05-01

Momus wows with this one. A true homage to the masters, that is Mozart, Rembrandt and DiVinci. This album was done on commission, like the old masterworks. The songs are written about those who pledged $1000. All the tunes are usual Momus. That is to say its like 70s space-age classical music with a drum-machine. Air fans will recognize the influences. Music fans will really get a kick out of this one, because a lot of the contributors are musicians. For example, the song Keigo Oyamada. That's Cornelius! Or more obviously, the very first song, The Minus 5. Well, no guess work there. Its a real sit down and listen album. You can't just come in and out . To do so would only shortchange the listener. There is a lot to take in, so get some brandy and lay back, its a weird journey. If you like Pizzacato 5, Air and especially Brian Eno you'll like this record. Music fan posers beware: this record will not make you cool just by mentioning it and I gurantee you won't like it.

5 out of 5 stars Pleasant, personal inanities make for quite an epic........2000-04-01

Trading his ironic self-indulgence for feigned generosity, Momus has crafted a millenial time capsule with these none-too-flattering portraits. Circumstances aside, the silly yet adept arrangements could probably stand on their own as Air-esque easy listening upgrades, but Momus' garrulous treatises add an infinite and almost too intelligent (charmingly so) slice of humanity. Certainly among the greatest concept albums of all time, the listener will laugh out loud and be horribly offended repeatedly within a single (and almost any) track. This deserves to be among the unappreciated classics of Zappa and Beefheart, and one doesn't get a chance to say that very often. A must for bitter, pessimistic cynics (college students and starving artists).

5 out of 5 stars Immortality for a price.......1999-10-10

Patronage pop becomes high art with this collection of musical portraits. Momus found himself in a bit of a legal bind recently, and while it's been settled, he needed to raise some cash to pay the bills. Hence 30 commissioned works, each for $1000, to cover the debt.

But far from just the obvious sell out, it's an amazing collection of images, representing a small cross section of his most dedicated fans. Each carefully crafted to reflect the best side of each of his subjects, sometimes hinting at the complexity of each character, but always leaving the listener wanting to hear more.
