| | | Dabbling around within song forms, while a particular forte for Fred, sometimes seems to take a back seat to his more improvisational or academic outings. So when a full album of "Songs" is issued, it really is cause for celebration. The amazing thing here is that these songs were produced with very little preparation before entering the studio, leaving Fred to compose, arrange, perform and mix these pieces using the recording medium as a compositional tool. While the initial impressions might be those of "Pop" music and its regenerative forms, each piece is tweaked, tho just enough to belay the necessary amount of subversive elements required to go "beyond" that genre, and into a world where chance happenstances and experimental tendencies give rise to much more. To these ends, the subject matter in each case was developed around whatever happened to be a hot story in the newspaper on the day of the recording. The music is all over the map, and each topic is examined in a spur-of-the-moment sort of way, but with long-lasting and infectious results.
