ROBERT ENGLISH: Experiments in Relativity (Blunt Records, 560 S. Hartz, Suite 340, Danville, CA 94526) English runs the gamut, from Beatle-influenced psychedelia (notice his cover of "I Am The Walrus") to experimental electronic music, narrowly escaping self-indulgence. For whatever reason, I feel pleased when I listen to this album, as if I were privy to the personal convictions of English, and I agreed with them. Sort of like meeting a stranger and then discovering he just read the same book as you. There's a common ground produced by this album that fosters a feeling of closeness. As to how someone could pull that off, I have no idea. -Steve Jones
