Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Earl Zinger is the charming and cheeky alter ego of ex-Galliano star Rob Gallagher. A fictional character hailing from late 1940s America (hence the appropriately kitsch title Put Your Phasers on Stun...), Zinger happens to have been conveniently located at the cutting edge of all of the major 20th-century musical developments, from jazz to reggae to rock & roll, soul, disco and, of course, dance music. Through his invented character, Gallagher is able to avoid trends and do exactly as he pleases. Subsequently, he turns in a sprawling, funny and defiantly original album that throws caution to the wind and indulges all of his whims as a producer, songwriter and lyricist. With South London mambo's, Camden skanks and tight, urban funk, Put Your Phasers... is endlessly witty and sharp and the music is tight no matter what style is conjured up. From the hilarious "Escape to Ibiza" to the deep dub rumbles of "Song 2Wo", this is a classy and thoroughly enjoyable romp through the mind of one of Britain's major underground talents.--Paul Sullivan

4.0 out of 5 stars Does humour belong in music?, 10 Oct 2002

By	"lrandall992" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Put Your Phazers on Stun Throw Your Health Food Skyward [VINYL] (Vinyl)

You gotta like the Earl. He's a bit of geezer, giving us a line about his role in the greatest bits of the music business, cranking out some fresh and decidedly lo-fi loops while tipping a cheeky wink to the gallery.
You know half of it's cobblers, but he wins you over by being inventive, satirical, a wry beatz poet for London of the sort The Streets might be when they grow up and move out of their mother's house.
This persona is hard to sustain over a whole album and the low-tech approach occasionally has the air of someone adding effects on their bedroom Mac-based recording program as they figure out how it all works. The finger itches to come down on the skip-track button on a couple of one-joke songs that are way too thin.
But better the imagination, intelligence and innovation of one Earl Zinger character album pushed further than it might comfortably be, than a thousand by those mind-numbingly competant and formulaic electronica and indie acts which litter the UK scene right now.

There's enough to keep the smarter listener entertained and at future dinner parties say, 'What? Earl Zinger? Yeah, yeah, I knew him back when he only had a couple of fans. He's too commercial now...'

3.0 out of 5 stars comical kitsch, 5 Feb 2002

By A Customer

I'm not sure if Put Your Phazers on Stun Throw Your Health Food Skyward is supposed to be comical or not. Parts of it are amusing. For instance Got to Get to Ibiza parodies those party people (read the English) who think Ibiza is the be all and end all of clubbing before it became all "commercial". And the joke is taken further on the track Escape From Ibiza which sums up the life of a trapped British "Scene-Queen" looking for somewhere to party that is not full of other British "Scene-Queens". However the album can get quite dull at times with some of the humor wearing thin. Earl Zinger's best track though, is the clever reworking of Blur's Song Two. This is well done and is a little more serious in it's delivery.
