Customer Reviews of Music to Eat

Strange but listenable
An amazing recording. Top notch musicianship combined with a wacky sensibility. It's remarkable that this ever got recorded. A wry combination of rock and jamming improvisation that has analogs in the Grateful Dead circa Live Dead and the jamming versions of Zappa's bands. It retains it's own off kilter southern sensibility. I never thought that reading the encyclopedia (Halifax) could sound so good.

Music to Think
Well, folks, "Music to Eat" is an amazing record at all levels: artistic boldness, superb musicianship, top-notch compositional skills, originality and firepower, conjuring an overall, neverending atmosphere of adventure and impact. Zappaesque and beefheartian echoes are surely present here, but The Hampton Grease Band manages to combine those influences with a remarkable creativity.

Proof that the world is in a sad state
Yes, it must be considered proof positive that Planet Earth is in serious karmic arrears when this great album rests at the bottom of the musicical ocean. This was a band with a vision. They had a mission. When they used to play live, guys with chain saws would sometimes crank up behind them on stage. And not only that-----their twin guitars were as hot as the Allman Brothers, and Bruce Hampton's songwriting was as distinctive as....uh, Bruce Hampton's songwriting. I don't know who else to compare it to. THIS is a CD we should send into outer space. It would amaze any aliens out there, and send notice that there's hope for Planet Earth.
