PORNOSONIC
Unreleased 70s Porno Music (J-Bird Records)

Reviewed by Holly Day



This is a source of great disappointment for me, because it's not at all what I expected. I was hoping that this disc would contain the original soundtracks from '70s porno music, bad recording quality and all, but instead, it's a new band--and just one band called "Pornosonic"--covering all these songs. I suppose that since these are unreleased tracks to begin with, I shouldn't have expected to hear that cool crackly sound of a '70s recording on this, or the barely-stereo sound of the guitar going chicka-chicka-wa-wa, that's what makes porno music to me. So it was pretty disappointing to put this on and hear a clean recording with a pretty average band covering these, and not even Ron Jeremy's in-between-songs dialogue saved this disc for me.
