Inheritance – S/T

The only interesting aspect of this record, aside from its incredibly creepy cover, is that it was produced by Doug McKenzie. Strange Brew indeed! Except the Doug McKenzie that you are thinking about is a fictional character. This album is Canadian and I’ve often wondered if this Doug McKenzie was perhaps the inspiration to the character as both Dave Thomas (who played Doug McKenzie) and Rick Moranis acted with SCTV which was filmed in Edmonton, Alberta (where this album was made).

Musically the album is fairly bad, focusing on family-oriented xian pop. Sometimes I listen to it and hope that I’ll find something interesting but this is pretty much the last straw. All I can ever find is an intro which sounds very sampleable and an interesting “break” where they use some analog effects to spice things up abit. Fortunately, the included sound clips will be the last I hear of this record. It is going to the home of a far more eccentric record collector.
