Product Description
Not since the band's incredibly popular "White Music" CD, has Crack The Sky delivered a collection of pop/rock songs that sting while making you smile. Satirical, smirky commentary, wrapped in up tempo - yes, you can dance to it - music. Writer, Palumbo, has either hit a manic phase or is attempting to get our attention via the back door. In any event, this remarkable band once again, shows their ability to shift gears while keeping their artistic integrity intact.

1. The Box
2. Happy Happy Happy
3. Your House Is On Fire
4. King of the Rodeo
5. Big Elephant
6. Holding My Breath
7. Pole Dancing At The Hollywood
8. Under The Hood
9. Don't Ask
10. Ali's Song

Mz Linda pulls out another great band...

back in my short-lived professional DJ career (like... a few months.... 1978 prog-rock days, unceremoniously ended when White Communications acquired the small station and quickly converted it to automated / genetically-engineered playlist) there were two tracks which another on-air guy (Hi Mark!) and I always bugged each other to let play, and the in-studio monitors were CRANKED:

Crack the Sky -- Ice (still muchoawesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph1WHxSHJo8 ; plus nice acoustic performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixrgKfj-pQo)

and

Snail -- The Joker (kudos to anyone who has or even recalls the LP, wonderful IIRC Santa Cruz band... here's the track in all late-70s glory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NClxwcUuN0s )

Wow. I had that record! I can't remember what it was like but I think it was that particular song that led me to buy it, really dug it at the time.
