The Mammal Trilogy Box Set / Martin Gordon/ / Radiant Future RFVPBOX1CD
w/ Martin Gordon, Pelle Almgren, Andy Reimer, Enrico Antico and Chris Townson
Following Martin Gordon’s acclaimed return to the pop world, his three solo CDs are here collected under one roof. The box set is a strictly limited edition of 500, each copy numbered and signed by the artist. Each CD comes complete with original packaging and artwork, and fits snugly into a full colour slip-case featuring an overview from the artist. This mid-price release includes the cover versions for which he has also become known, with songs by Marc Bolan/T Rex, the Move, the Beatles, Gilbert & Sullivan as well as Mel Brooks’ timeless ‘Love Power’ from his film The Producers.
Gordon's epicurean skills, honed to perfection in the musical kitchens of the great and good (as well as the dull and awful), have attracted gourmet music fans the world over, and even from as far away as France.
Featured on this compendium of aural delights are songs about Nigerian email scams, technology (he has ‘missed the universal serial buss’, he rather unbelievably claims at one point), relationships with alien lovelies, Heaven run by the Germans, age as a cricketing metaphor, marital problems, xenophobia, instant fame and of course the title track, in which he wonders why despite his plethora of gold chains and mobile phones, nobody takes him seriously. Of course the protagonists are not necessarily the performers, it scarcely needs pointing out. Or perhaps it does, in which case we have done.
Press release is here, and sales notes are here. The release is currently only available via the Get it in the Radiant Future shop. The three original components are Baboon in the Basement, Joy of More Hogwash and God's on His Lunchbreak.
