Review of my CD
by Arthur Rosch

 CD Cover |
Review by Ruben Pondwater in Music Express."If Jimi Hendrix had survived and gotten treatment for his substance abuse problems, he would want to sit in with this band. Art Rosch is a stylist, a pure original. His songs recall surrealist painters like Dali or Magritte, with their suggestive but never quite explicit clues to unconscious processes.The element of surprise is always present. This never interferes with the immediacy of emotional communication, the warmth and intimacy of Art's sound. He has surrounded himself with musicians who understand what he intends, and can further his musical vision. What's amazing is that all this sophisticated and funny lyrical content comes wrapped in a very funky, danceable package. It's difficult to chose a favorite song from this CD, but "Kosovo" is a piece that brings together beauty and tragedy in a way that is very rare. And for those who are experiencing the turmoil of psychotherapy, "My Diagnosis" is probably worth four or five sessions, at least. A great record. Five stars."

From the liner notes: Congratulations! With the purchase of this CD you are entitled to a weekend seminar with Art Rosch, AKA Swami Bop-Ananda. Among the topics covered at this seminar will be "Consciousness: Fact or Fiction?" and "Tantric Therapy for Your Pets". If you have a house available for this seminar, contact artsdigiphoto@comcast.net. If you buy five of these CDs you qualify for the Swami's week long "Quit Being Crappy To Yourself" Workshop, and if your house is not available, maybe you could ask one of your friends. This CD was made possible by the contributions of Starr, and by the creative collaborations of Tom Finch, Rob Fordyce and Pete Lind, who volunteered to play on this production for a modest hourly fee. They are musicians whose bad habits are only offset by their great playing.That each of them is in a stable relationship is testament to the influence that Art Rosch, AKA Swami Bop-Ananda, has had upon them.If you buy twenty of these CDs, you can accompany the Swami to his retreat on Maui, where he will teach you his 'Nine Step Program for Continued and Prolonged Orgasmic Ecstasy'. That is, if you have a friend on Maui with a nice house.If you buy fifty of these CDs the Swami will personally initiate you into his special yiddish mantra for dealing with all adversity and frustration. If you own a television or radio station, contact artsdigiphoto@comcast.net. as soon as possible.
