“Coolgilly and the Freakshow” is a revolutionary CD by Centascope that is comprised of psychedelic, punk and British pop styles. By taking three generations of music and compiling them into one exceptional album each song produces a different quality. The titled track “Coolgilly and the Freakshow” features a dynamic, loud, driving punk beat with aggressive lead guitar. The vocals are nicely sung with ease and style with hints of complimentary harmony. The ability of the vocals to change from one chapter of music to another is a high point throughout the album creates a clear and innovative approach to this collection of genres. A good example of this versatility is on “Carter Takes a Train” as this is more of the mind transformation persuasion of the 1970’s psychedelic time. “The Girl on the Left” and “Empty Head” are rhythmic and energetic with cool, bluesy Hammond organ riffs. This is truly a wonderful album as you can hear tempo’s slow and easy or fast and powerful with styles of music from three time periods. If you like music by The Who with a taste of punk, you’ll won't be disappointed with “Coolgilly and the Freakshow.”
