Early perversions from the master,
By A Customer
This review is from: Circus Maximus (Audio CD)
This album is not for everybody- if you don't want your music to provoke thought steer clear. The first song, for example, manages to bring together St. Sebastian, the Romans, Dante Alighieri and his lover Beatrice, the death of Lincoln, and e.e. cummings' poem "Buffalo Bill's Defunct" to bizarre dark comic effect. This is mostly acoustic, but unlike later albums the music here (to me) takes a back seat to the lyrics, twisted both conceptually and lyrically- in one song he sings of "the dock of the baby, the resort where strangers liaise, the port in every girl where the sailor obeys..." This is classic stuff from one of the most brilliantly provocative minds of the last few decades.

My Favorite Momus,
By
This review is from: Circus Maximus (Audio CD)
I have nearly every Momus CD to date and this is the standout favorite in my book. Smart and creative. If you are interested in Momus this one is a safe bet.
