shapes of sound
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.14" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Just when you think everything is nice and comfy, we
throw you a curve! Shapes Of Sound's "Twisted Conversation" was one of
the most unusual and psychedelic tracks that Paul Buff ever engineered. Written
and sung by Greg Munford, the song employs sped-up vocals that echo what Buff
accomplished on the original version of "I'm Losing Status At The High
School" with Frank Zappa and Allison Buff. Lyrically, "Twisted
Conversation" is very advanced. As a single A-side, it's completely
uncommercial. That's precisely why it's so brilliant! The shame is that the
record may be the rarest one that Bill Holmes ever released on his All-American
label, and that's really saying something. As mentioned previously, Munford is
known as the vocalist for "Incense And Peppermints," and he recorded
with Indescribably Delicious and other All-American acts."
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.15" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Back to
strangeness! Shapes Of Sound turned in another odd but brilliant song for their
All-American B-side: "Lost Weekend." Once again sung by Greg Munford,
the haze of a substance-filled weekend of sin comes our way. They don't make
them like this anymore! It was recorded at Original Sound with Buff behind the
desk. "
