But rules being made to be broken, the occasional exception happens when and as warranted.<\/p>\n<p>The Lounge Bar Orchestra is a high-concept project with a nicely developed (fictional) back story. I won\u2019t recount it here, as it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/theloungebarorchestra.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-incidents-ost\">best read in its original form<\/a>. What I will say is that the 7\u201d disc titled <em>The Incidents<\/em> purports to be a long-lost soundtrack from a sci-fi\/sex romp of sorts dating from 1973. Listeners (like me) who love soundtrack music of the \u201860s and \u201870s (<em>Barbarella<\/em>, <em>Our Man Flint<\/em>, the TV series <em>UFO<\/em> and the like) will luxuriate in this period-correct music.<\/p>\n<p>The title track is filled with wordless vocals and brass, and tinkling keyboards. \u201cTemporal Damage\u201d is sound effects-laden, as if lifted directly from the audio strip of the film. \u201cCar Crash in Reverse\u201d is wonderfully evocative, and the orgiastic screams are a hoot. \u201cSex Inside the Forcefield\u201d sounds like its title suggests, all burnt-orange shag carpets and combo organs (so to speak). At scarcely ten minutes total, the four tracks will leave those so inclined hungry for more. A delight. On clear vinyl with no inner label to get in your way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I make a practice of not reviewing singles or EPs, as I prefer the longer-form format\u2019s ability to provide a deeper look into what an artist\u2019s about.
