THE BATTALION
Pape G College Station, Texas Wednesday, September 13, 1972
RESONANCE
“The pearly lustre of the moon
went out;
The mossy banks and the mean
dering paths,
The happy flowers and the repin
ing trees,
Were seen no more: the very
rose’s odors
Died in the arms of the adoring
airs.
All—all expired save thee—save
less than thou:
Save only the divine light in thine
eyes.”
Poe
ord sound like a party, but the
songs are well done once the band
gets going.
In a few tracks he indulges in
too much self-amusement (Wolf-
man Jack is a Los Angeles Disc
Jockey), but they are spread out
so that they don’t come up too
often. “Somtheng / Anything?”
has lots of well-produced music,
most of it repeatable and all of
it listenable. It is a nice record
to have ai’ound. “Budget Records
and Tapes” provided a copy for
analyzation.
Could this be the same light
that T. Rundgren so touchingly
sings of? Could this “divine light”
have survived the wrinkles and
tears of 150 years and still pos
sess the mystery and exhilara
tion that Edgar Allan Poe felt so
long ago? Yes, though mankind’s
collective mind has undergone
many changes since then, the
light Poe saw in Helen’s eyes is
today just as real, just as impor
tant and just as wonderful as it
ever was. This is the subject of
Todd Rundgren’s song “I Saw
The Light,” the biggest track on
his latest album, “Something/
Anything ?”
Todd Rundgren has hit his
stride and put it to music in this
versatile double-record set that is
original, pleasant and amusing.
Though this is just his second
solo effort, T. R. is not new to
the music scene. While only 17,
he engineered “The Band’s” high
ly successful album “Stage
Fright,” three years ago. Since
then Todd Rundgren has master
ed the music side of recording
also. He also formed and led the
group “Nazz” which had three
albums and traveled on the road
show circuit for over a year with
the late, great “Spirit.” Now he’s
on his own. “Something/Any
thing?” is full of catchy songs,
five or six of which could stand
up as singles. Rlindgren is at his
best when handling a pi'etty tune
with a light message. This is just
what he does in “I Saw the Light”
as well as many other “boy likes
girl” lovelies.
RASPBERRIES
“Raspberries” is the group and
its first album. The guys are
from Cleveland, Ohio, and are
selling the record on the strength
of “Go All the Way,” the cut
which has made the national sin
gle charts. I can’t help hearing
Badfinger in their stuff but per
haps this is due to the kind of
music they play rather than sim
ilarity of styles. Energetic, melo
dious rock is the product pro
duced by both “Badfinger” and
“Raspberries,” and both suffer
from the same ailment—cognate
songs. After a couple of rounds
with the “Raspberries” album, it
seems as though I could substi
tute the words of one tune to the
music of three or four others,
and the waterbed is still waiting
for Dave.
With the exception of two
tracks, “Raspberries” is too hum
drum to keep the pace started
with “Go All the Way.” This
eager number is basically full of
nothing lyrically but has so much
horny enthusiasm that it reaches
the class of lightweight rock tunes
where the energy makes up for
the absence of lyrics.
The last side of the set was
done live in the studio. It is in
teresting arid make^ cuttihg a rec-
“I Can Remember” is another
good one, much more of a pro
duction than anything else the
album offers. This cut is longish
(eight minutes), but never quite
drags. The choruses are sweet,
the thoughts are surprisingly
sensible, and the overall effect is
quite pleasant and a little bit in
triguing. It’s getting some FM
play, but surprisingly little. The
other interesting song is “Don’t
