“Bacharach Baroque” by 18th Century Corporation - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1969Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s

TJR says

Maverick project, made in Germany. Bohemian target audience or just budget easy listening? Well, a bit of both probably. There’s something quite endearing about listening to Bacharach’s 60s pop tunes in the style of the classical 18th Century harpsichordist. In this regard, the first 4 tracks are quite refreshing, if not vital. Flamenco style guitar takes “lead vocals” from thereon and the album begins to lose some appeal. The whole concept is wearing very thin by the end. A momentarily engaging curiosity…
