Healthy Brain Kit, The - Dr.Andrew Weil & Gary Small

Advantages: EASY LISTENING AND GOOD 80´s SONGS
Disadvantages: SOME SPOOKY TRACKS

...After watching this unforgettable film I couln´t get some of the songs out of my head to the point that I had to rush and get the CD as soon as I could. I really enjoy listening to this CD while I´m doing anything at home.I can classify it as easy listening ,especially the instrumental tracks by MICHAEL ANDREWS.They are quite relaxing,though some can be a bit spooky. I really reccommend the 2 CD version as it has the MICHAEL ANDREWS´ songs on a CD and the sung ones in the other. The TEARS FOR FEARS songs included ,deserve a special mention ,and of course the cover of one of theseMAD WORLD by MICHAEL ANDREWS and GARY JULES,which got high on the top charts .

..."). More gentle is "She is beautiful", which slows down the pace, keyboards to the fore, and once again I am blown over by the resemblance to Cheap Trick. Note: for me, this is a bonus - I love them, even own their CD box set. Oh well, back to Andrew WK. Overall, the songs are ludicrously simple, and they're often grunted / shouted, rather than sung, but, through it all, although I suspect I shouldn't like it, I really enjoyed the album. It's a bit like when I first played my Gary Glitter album - I knew it was derivative, but it was just so… distinctive, and made me want to go out and have a good time.
