LUBRICATED GOAT 'Paddock Of Love' LP
The first Lubricated Goat album was something like being in the middle of an earthquake
in downtown Shanghai. Lots of crunching sounds, upheaval, things bursting and a lot of
people dashing around yelling in funny voices. 'Paddock Of Love' hits more of a guitar
groove from the start and lacks the sense of unpredictability 'Lubricated Goat Plays The
Devil's Music' had.
There are still a lot of bleating horns and twisted guitar lines amid the more defined
riffs. 'Paddock' is vaguely reminiscent of The Butthole Surfers, but cuts a path all its
own. Definitely an exception tot he common image of Australian wah-wah monomania, this
album strikes the right chords. By all accounts, Goat chieftain Stu Spasm is an authentic
goofball and he has fashioned two fine LP's in a row. From the first cut, 'In The Raw',
you know you're in the hands of a special friend.
