Gilbert and Lewis must have spent the
whole of 1980-82 in the recording studio,narrowly avoiding a severe
case of rickets due to lack of sunlight. They seemed intelligent
enough to take an alternative source of vitamin D with them,and
called it Vitamin Dome accordingly. If the four Dome albums from 80
to 82 were in fact vitamins, the first is B, feeding the central
nervous system;Dome 2 is a fruity C,saving your teeth from sonic
scurvy;and this one(3) is clearly the sunshine of the
series.....Vitamin Dome, saving your Bones with their Drones. The
forthcoming Dome 4,or “Will You Speak This Word”, is vitamin K,
'cus I don't know what it does, except aid the development of
foetus’s. Apparently, embryo's(like what seems to be pictured on
the album cover?) and upwards are supposed to enjoy a bit of Mozart?
However, my unborn daughter had to endure a lot of Joy Division,
Throbbing Gristle,Free Jazz and worse, to no great adverse effect.
The now teenage Nancy(check out her blog), does not care for these
musics, preferring Rammstein, Skrillex, and bloody Nirvana!?Proving
they couldn't give two squirts of maconium what they hear through the
uterine wall. It may have been different had I beamed some Dome in
her gestating direction? Probably not!
Rhythms play a more prominent role in
this murky party music from the padded cell next door. Even some
vocal rhythmic patterns are employed,as “An-An-An-D-D-D” reminds
me of Philip Glass's “Einstein on The Beach”
somewhat(which,ironically,was played while Nancy was emerging from the
womb!?). I can see this album as a soundtrack for the Michael Clark
Dancers, or the Ballet Rambert; with the bourgeois art elitists in
the arts centre audience, sneering behind stroked beards and reading
glasses, at the fact that tonight’s composers used to be in a 'Punk
Rock' group!
