The Free Design - The Best of Free Design (@320)

 


The Free Design - The Best of Free Design

The Best of Free Design Review by Richie Unterberger.

Drawing from seven 1967-1973 albums by the Free Design, this 20-song compilation overlaps some with the other Free Design best-of (Varese Sarabande's Kites Are Fun), but each of those anthologies has a good number of songs not on the other. Each one is a reasonable intro to this soft pop/rock band, though, and this does include, naturally, the one song that would be considered essential to any best-of, "Kites Are Fun." The Free Design's world is a never-never land of fluffy good times, albeit with extremely accomplished smooth vocal harmonies. Though some sunshine pop fanatics freak out over this stuff, to many it will be too much sunshine and light at once, veering uneasily close not just to easy listening pap, but also to period late-'60s/early-'70s TV/commercial music at times.
