THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

10cc set the stage with the opener "Une Nuit a Paris", an 8 minute multi-part track, sophisticated musically yet silly in it's ultimate delivery, taking inspiration from the cabaret/cafe sounds of it's title's city. And so it goes for aptly titled The Original Soundtrack, much of its contents on one hand riveting, on the other hand disposable, sort of the musical equivalent of a brilliantly filmed comedy. No doubt this is a release that will reveal more with each listen, 10cc showing themselves as intelligent musicians with a tongue in cheek agenda. Other highlights for me so far have to be the danceable "Blackmail", rockish "The Second Sitting for the Last Supper", and of course the hit soft-rock ballad "I'm Not In Love" - with it's synthesized vocals and disembodied middle section, a gloomy departure from the rest of the album.
