PUDDING EN GISTEREN [AKA: PUDDING & YESTERDAY]

"Pudding En Gisteren" (Music for Ballet) was the third album by the "Dutch Canterbury" outfit Supersister and another reasonably good effort expanding on the first two. Here you will find some of their most interesting work as they push the experimentation with a side long monster. The first three short tracks have a pop single feel with light catchy music and very English sounding vocals. They take their 'humor in music' experimentation to the next level in the 12 minute "Judy Goes on Holiday" which ends with a long doo-wop section of all things, sounding like Sha-Na-Na stepped into the studio for a guest spot. But it is the 21 minute epic title track which is this band's finest moment to date in my opinion. This long excursion gives the band plenty of time to breathe and expand their jazzy jams with tasteful sections of flute and keyboards. The intensity level fluctuates from those flute sections on the mellow side to some pretty hard edged craziness in a few spots. They also check the humor at the door for this track which is refreshing to me, I think this band pushes the silliness too far at the expense of their true potential. There is even a lovely piano closing written for this track giving it a touch of class. Probably my favorite of this first three and yet still only half of a great album. Obviously this is not my favorite band, I respect and give them points for their chops but am not inspired to say much else. Still a good bet for Canterbury fans due to the long title piece. 7/10
