Bram Tchaikovsky MP3s - Strange Man, Changed Man
Bram Tchaikovsky was some kind of low level supergroup, in theory, with members of an old outfit called the Motors. Don Kirschner's Rock Concerts played the heck out of a couple of cuts from their first album, Strange Man, Changed Man. "Girl of My Dreams" was a minor American hit, and then they were never heard from again. In truth, that was not a big loss. I've had at least a couple of their follow-up albums, without a memorable tune amongst them. But that first album was really good. They had a great English power pop sound, with cool double-lead vocals, strong hooks, and a tight attack. This was contemporary to Cheap Trick at Budokan and Dream Police, for the closest stylistic comparison. It's probably not quite up with the very best Cheap Trick, but it was excellent. I know it kicked my teenaged ass. Besides the hit, "Lady From the USA" was just as good, and they did a particularly good version of "I'm a Believer." There was a certain romanticism to stuff like "Sara Smiles" that the Trick couldn't touch. After many years of looking for this lost classic on CD, I finally managed to get it converted from my vintage vinyl copy. Enjoy. Bram Tchaikovsky - Strange Man, Changed Man 1979 1 - "Strange Man, Changed Man / Lonely Dancer" 2 - "Robber" 3 - "Bloodline" 4 - "I'm the One That's Leaving" 5 - "Girl of My Dreams" 6 - "Nobody Knows" 7 - "Lady From the USA" 8 - "I'm a Believer" 9 - "Sara Smiles" 10 - "Turn on the Light"
I've got a bunch more MP3s for your listening pleasure: www.morethings.com/mp3 Among the groovy rarities and out of print pleasures, I've got Ray Charles, Grandpa Jones, Stringbean, and of course a surprisingly effective guitar, tuba and tap dance arrangement of "Highway to Hell"
