Madrigals on Purple Microdot. I will say no more.
From Derek Taylor at Dusted Records:
Moondog 2 economizes down comfortably to a modest octet for a run through a populous program of madrigals and canticles. Sung in the round by a small chorus of voices, heavy on harpsichord and rhythmic hand percussion devices, many of the songs seem ideally suited to accompany commercial product endorsements. It’s possible to picture a beehived housewife model clothed in bright rayon muumuu, smile sparkling, holding up the latest, greatest cleaning disinfectant to the strains of “My Tiny Butterfly”. “Coffee Beans”, with its caffeine-addictive singsong melody and percolating simplicity could’ve easily been co-opted as a ’70s Folger’s java jingle. Yet again Moondog breaks orbit with preconception, sliding into a stylistic freefall that is at once disarmingly familiar and hilariously unhinged. Both CBS albums, Moondog and Moodog 2, led to a decades-long game of label leap-frogging that continued until Moondog’s death in early 1999. Each has its charms and both fit like square pegs into the standard round hole slots of discographical consistency. I’m betting Moondog wouldn’t have had it any other way.
