The Free Design has always been pretty obscure...actually very obscure for having generated seven albums, but their music is impeccable, intricate, and usually fun.  I only heard of them when Enoch Light released one of thir albums on his Project 3 quadraphonic vinyl records...I ran a stereo store at the time so I got promo stuff occasionally for demonstration purposes.  The Free Design was one of the promos.  

 

I loved this song and hadn't even thought of it in years until I heard it as the end theme for an episode of the Weeds tv series.  Bang, it all came flooding back.  This was a great song to sell very very expensive speakers.  I would put it on at low volume to allow me to pitch some tech prattle about the particular speakers or entire system I was trying to sell, then at about 1:00, I'd put up the volume a bit and watch the customer.  They usually looked like "What the hell music is this?" 

 

Then for the phrase at 1:20 I'd turn it up a bit higher where they couldn't ignore it and were forced to do nothing but listen to the big pay off phrase at 1:27 (it really was terrific fidelity).  ...Almost always a deal closer.  I think they were caught off guard by the childlike words and melody, but the actual music layed them away and they would think that if this dumb song sounded so good, what would the stuff they liked sound like...wow!..."Yep, we'll take it...do you deliver?"

 

 

 

 

The rest of The Free Design catalog is quite good and much of it is lurking around on YouTube.  I always thought of them as a cross between The Swingle Singers with some Peter, Paul, and Mary all stuffed into a Carpenters mold.

Man, you really overwhelm me with the enthusiasm here. You weren't lying when you hypothized on us having a similar music taste in a previous post.

Twigs was a fairly recent discovery for me too, When i first heard her, I thought it was like a new flume track or something. really great to hear an artist like her going strong solo with such an experimental style.

 

Ps. On catching up with Imogen I'd recommend checking out a live performance (in the spoiler) I think she has an amazing

stage presence. She is 1 of the artists whom I'd immidiately think of if I was asked favourites, simply because of the genuineness, with which she seems to enjoy being and expressing herself.

I might have posted it here before, but that was a long time ago already so it doesn't hurt to post it again. :D

We listened to the same song, right? I mean that was hardly profane, a cute rap about childhood nostalgia, Not blaming you for doing your duties or anything, but seeing such a harsh policy enforced here left me feeling some kind of way. Especially since there is so much good music I now know I'll have to refrain from posting.
