![]() Just the first three tracks move seamlessly from the pioneering synth rock experiment "Manufacturers" (which would eventually become one of Moore's best-known songs thanks to its inclusion on the popular new wave cassette sampler Trouser Press Presents the Best of America Underground in the early '80s) through the gossamer guitar jangle of the breathy "I Wanna Hit You" (which sounds like a lost Big Star classic) to the atmospheric darkness of the slowly unfolding instrumental "Flowers Sleep Into the Night." Elsewhere, Moore's knack for instantly memorable power pop tunes delivers the hard-rocking "I Just Want to Feel You" and "When You Gonna Find Me a Wife," McCartney-like acoustic ditties like "New Girl" and "Girl Go," strange but wonderful experiments like the synthesizer minimalism of "Terribly Honest" and the endearingly peculiar "Don't Let Me Go to the Dogs," the beautifully melodic instrumental "Andrea Bliss," the sheer bubblegum perfection of "Here Comes Summer Again," and the disco-tinged character study "Dance Man" (in which the lounge lizard protagonist of Roxy Music's "Love Is the Drug" gets shot down by the nubile innocent of ABBA's "Dancing Queen"). Unlike many of Moore's early tapes, there are no lengthy, tedious experiments here. However, an argument can certainly be made for 1977's Swing and a Miss. Stevie Moore's, it's difficult to come right out and declare any single release to be his best work ever.
