Our Take

Ah, Moondog, the enigmatic figure of the avant-garde music scene. The man, the myth, the Viking-inspired legend. MOONDOG Moondogin is a glorious cacophony of sound that transports you to another realm, where time and space cease to exist.

From the moment the first notes of "Bird's Lament" hit your eardrums, you are instantly transported to a world where rules do not apply. Moondog's signature blend of jazz, classical, and experimental music creates a sonic landscape unlike anything you've heard before. It's as if Beethoven and Sun Ra had a love child and raised him in the streets of New York City.

The album is a true testament to Moondog's genius as a composer and musician. Tracks like "Symphonique #3" and "Symphony #1 (Portrait of a Martian)" showcase his ability to blend complex orchestral arrangements with whimsical melodies, creating a truly unique listening experience.

But it's not all serious business with Moondog. Tracks like "Lament 1 (Bird's Lament)" and "Chaconne in G Major" add a playful touch to the album, reminding us that music is meant to be enjoyed, not just analyzed.

In conclusion, MOONDOG Moondogin is a masterpiece that defies categorization. It's a journey through space and time, guided by the one and only Moondog. So sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you. You won't regret it.
