Brothers Ellis and Tom Clark are the duo behind Epicycle. The third album JingoJangle is a mix of progressive sixties pop sounds firing on all cylinders andSgt. Pepperisms especially on the track Girls Don't Rule My World which haswonderful sonic details in the multi-track piano and orchestral flourishes. Theopener 8-Track Mind brings together Bryds-styled guitar jangle and Cheap Trickriffs in a dense polished production. The piano ballad Goodbye is animpressive soulful song along the lines of Billy Joel. The brass and creepyAlice Cooper\u002FTom Waits vocal of Ode To Branson is a bit too strange till weget to the Roger Waters-like chorus. Day for Night revisits this style with awell done piano melody. The quirkiness of Club Marmalade and Worst Rock Songseems like an attempt to merge Zappa and 10cc. Like The Pillbugs, it has atendency to overindulge in the pyschedelic effects too much toward the albumsend. That mentioned a lot of other studio acrobatics here work well on mostsongs. It also features guest spots by Brad Elvis of the Elvis Brothers and PaulMertens of Brian Wilson band. This album is worth a listen for sure. Fans ofthe above mentioned bands will reach musical nirvana with this one.
