The Big Problem ≠ The Solution. The Solution = Let It Be

Crispin Hellion Glover... These Boots Are Made For Walking (.mp3 audio 4:03). From the album The Big Problem ≠ The Solution. The Solution = Let It Be (1989, Restless Records – 7 72316-2) at UbuWeb Sound. "...Sounding like a cross between King Missile and circus music, The Big Problem is one crazy slab of sound. Glover's voice (which has an thin, endearing tremble) serves as the narrator to the world of nonsense he's documented on this album. Occasionally he takes the listener by surprise with a melody. Both the hypnotic 'The New Clean Song' and the soothing 'Never Say Never to Always' are actually pretty good songs hidden among the madness. But mostly he rants and raves in a stream-of-conscious manner over the genre-hopping music. Most of the time this works in his favor; in fact, his Residents-esque cover of 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin'' is a nervy delight."
