  2. The Neptune Power Federation – Mondo Tomorrow Review By Killjoy

    The Neptune Power Federation was one of my favorite surprise discoveries in my first year of reading our esteemed blog. 2019’s Memoirs of a Rat Queen was a lively classic rock concept album about the exploits of The Imperial Priestess. GardensTale wasn’t quite as impressed by followup Le Demon De L’Amour, an entire record’s worth of love songs released on Valentine’s Day 2022, but I found it every bit as enjoyable, if not more. Goodnight My Children leaned even more into their classic hard rock sound with razor-sharp songwriting. Mondo Tomorrow is something of a strategy shift for these Aussies, as they attempt to take a rearview-looking genre and apply it to a futuristic, dystopian setting.

    In spite of these aspirations, for the most part, Mondo Tomorrow sounds just as retro as its predecessors. Guitar licks and chords of AC/DC or Deep Purple parentage come roaring in to start many of the songs, and the good, old-fashioned lead/rhythm onslaughts by Search and DesTroy and Inverted CruciFox adorn the bridge sections. The blaring Hammond organ also makes a comeback here and there. One key difference, however, is the computerized synthesizer tone that is subtly woven into the other instrumentation to fit the sci-fi theme. Of course, frontwoman Screaming Loz Sutch still sounds incredible. It’s impressive how high she can go without sounding shrill or losing an ounce of grit.

    Mondo Tomorrow by The Neptune Power Federation

    Mondo Tomorrow delivers more of The Neptune Power Federation’s straightforward and punchy numbers that are likely to resonate with anyone who has ever had a soft spot for classic rock. Sutch shines particularly bright in the ultra-catchy chorus of “And the Bones Decay,” where the harmonizing backing vocals augment her lead vocals (which has not always been the case in the past). “Mondo Tomorrow” is among the tightest and most fun songs in The Neptune Power Federation’s growing discography. “Living in the Gutter” is more mid-paced, with a slightly psychedelic section partway through, which serves as a good refresher. While no track comes close to being bad, “Cybernetic Times” is the least inspiring, with a somewhat lackluster chorus and a reverberating vocal effect that doesn’t work well for me.

    As solid as Mondo Tomorrow is overall, I struggle to think of many reasons to reach for it over The Neptune Power Federation’s three previous records. If I want no-nonsense, hook-driven songs, I have Goodnight My Children. If I’m in the mood for more experimental compositions, I turn to Le Demon De L’Amour. For fist-pumping sci-fi-inspired anthems, there’s Memoirs of a Rat Queen. Mondo Tomorrow contains all of these elements, but they feel somewhat diluted. The exception is the funky bass-driven closing track “The Barbarian Dominion,” which is quite good until it changes to a robotic narrator and eerie synths for the last two minutes. This same narration style also opens Mondo Tomorrow, and in both cases, it’s more irksome than immersive.

    Still, Mondo Tomorrow is a good entry point for those who may be unfamiliar with The Neptune Power Federation. It’s been satisfying to see them flourish over the years, and they have grown on me more and more with each release. It’s debatable whether the execution of this futuristic album concept was successful, but the music itself has lost none of its enthusiasm or charm. While Mondo Tomorrow doesn’t outdo its older siblings, it is every bit as fantastic a driving companion, and will be receiving further playtime during my trips this summer. Those in search of infectious, nostalgic riffs are highly encouraged to unite with the Federation.

    Eine Welt ohne Kinder hat keine Zukunft. Das ist kein Sci-Fi zum Abschalten, sondern ein Film, der uns heute noch unangenehm nahe geht. Flüchtlingslager, Ausnahmezustand, nur Hoffnung im Gepäck. Alfonso Cuarón mixt Action, Politik und Popkultur zu einem Jetzt-Film, der nicht tröstet, sondern wach macht. Kurz Luft holen. Dann ansehen! (ARTE, Wh.)

    Ian Gillan, frontman van de band Deep Purple, is zijn zicht grotendeels verloren. In een interview met het tijdschrift Uncut zegt Gillan het "pijnlijk vermoeiend" te vinden om te blijven werken.

  15. Gratulerer med 80-årsdagen, Ian Gillan!

    Som den originale vokalisten i Deep Purple, er det ingen tvil om at fyren fortener nemninga "rockelegende". Sjølv om eg alltid likte Black Sabbath betre, er det ingen tvil om at Gillan går Ozzy ein høg gang reint vokalmessig. (Men kor klokt det var å slippe Gillan til som vokalist i Sabbath i 83, kan ein diskutere...)

    No skal eg høyre gjennom heile "Made in Japan"-albumet!

    Pensavo fosse la solita roba ammuffita di band gloriose bollite dall'età, invece pompano eccome!

    Peccato manchino #jonlord purtroppo è morto nel 2012 e #Ritchieblackmore che non si sente da un po', ma cmq mi ha messo allegria e tanta positività vedere che dei vecchietti (ex mostri sacri) possano fare del sano hard rock, e fatto come si deve senza essere ridicoli (se non minimamente 😉)

  25. New #review today: "Some of my favorite bands of the 70s had a sound based around using #HammondOrgan in conjunction with heavy rock — #DeepPurple, #UriahHeep, #AtomicRooster — and #Gjenferd obviously has those bands in mind when creating the music on their debut album. As is the fashion with bands from Norway, Gjenferd features members of other bands, in this case #Kryptograf, #EdvardBorneo’s band, and #Metusalem..." #ExposeOnline #ClassicRock expose.org/index.php/articles/
