Sad Rockets consists of one member, Andrew Pekler, who writes, plays,
and records his music "in an analog way" (CD cover).This album would be the perfect soundtrack to a James Bond film in
which all the characters are robots."Heavy Meta," in the background.If
you can imagine all that, you have a good idea of what much of this
album is like.The organ is usually mixed with electronic beats and noises,
hence my imagined robotic James Bond
soundtrack.Throughout the album, there are hints of blues, jazz,
techno, hip hop, funk, heavy metal, easy listening, and country.This
mix of genres and the interweaving sounds, beats, and melodies is my
favorite thing about Transition .Pekler is adept at creating
dynamic and complex melodies and beats with just about any sound.Two songs I particularly enjoy are "Wrongs of Fall" and "Sad Rocket's
Rock Steady.The main instrument in "Wrongs of Fall" is always
changing, from violins to xylophone to keyboards to drums.This song isn't as spacey or electronic sounding as others, but
it is catchy, fun, and groovy.Six," but sometimes, the organ,
the baseline, the beats, and the space sounds make songs that are too
similar, and by the end of the album, they kind of
work my nerves.Songs such as "Winter's Over,"
which features a simple acoustic guitar accompanied by brushed drums,
quiet symbols, and delicious bongos, break the tension every once in a
while.Although too much of the fun, spacey funk can be tiresome, and the organ
gets old sometimes, I liked the mix of genres, the fun, spacey funk, the
use of interweaving sounds, and the layers of beats.You know, the more
I listen to this CD, the more I want to listen to it, and that's great!Sad Rockets has been busy since 1995.Before that he was busy growing up in California and before that busy being born in Samarkand,Uzbekistan.LP on Source Records,(Sad Rockets Plays), as well as two 7" singles."Click your browser's Refresh button to try reconnecting.Click your browser's Back button to return to the previous page."Sad Rockets on MSN Music";s.Sad Rockets debuted in 1998 with the Source release Plays; the next year, Pekler followed it with Once Upon a Time Called Now on Morbid.Bergheim 34 and the rock band Mucus 2.
