Fred Avril - "That Horse Must Be Starving" @ Score! Music Magazine

	Fred Avril - That Horse Must Be Starving
	Location	We'll go with NYC.
	Initial Impression	The guy's press kit says he sounds like Prince...that's not entirely true.
Notable Lyric	Can't say that any words really jumped out at me. This is not your CD if you're looking for clever quotes and witty lyrics. It's about the SOUNDSCAPE, baby.
Factoid	This guy's bio sheet reads like a cheap spy novel; international living, mob killings, bursts of creative genius saving the hero from a life in the gutter. It's interesting reading, but come on; that doesn't belong in a promo pack.
Serve With	Red Bull and your poison of choice, served with a twist of Euro-glam ambiance.
Comments	I had a hard time getting past this guy's claim that he's on the same level as the formerly nameless god of all things funky. For one thing, Avril creates the hypnotic experimental grooves one associates with artists like Bjork. I really got into the CD as it went along; this is one of those albums that wraps itself around you, blocking out the world with its intergalactic glow for an hour or so. I recommend it, but question the wisdom of Avril's PR guy.
