Roy Rogers Meets Albert Einstein

Product Description
A truly unclassifiable artist, Sigmund SNOPEK III was relatively anonymous among the popular band THE VIOLENT FEMMES. The art of this iconoclast can eventually be related to that of THE MOODY BLUES and Kevin GODLEY & Lol CREME. An obscure album issued in 1972, the now famous “Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?” was full of ambition: its heteroclite progressive rock taking after some of the early Frank ZAPPA, rock, classical or contemporary music, ethnic music and jazz, all in an audacious blend. "Roy Rodgers Meets Albert Einstein" is an excellent 1980 millesime, characterized by a division in three works ("Ride In The Dark", "Roy Rodgers Meets Albert Einstein" & "Song Sing The Doldrum Ding") all more staggering the one than the other.

Brilliant Progressive Rock.......2002-03-15

This is a CD-reissue of an album that Milwaukee's Best-Kept Secret, Sigmund Snopek, originally released in 1982. This album clearly falls into the "progressive rock" side of Snopek's ouevre-- there are more similarities to albums like "Nobody to Dream" and "Trinity" than, say, to more humorous or alternative albums like "Beer". There are actually only three long pieces on this album, but they contain multiple parts, so there are a deceptively large number of tracks here. The last tune has a mild country influence, but is still unmistakeably prog-rock. Highly recommended to prog fans and beyond that, to all fans of serious music.
