Martin Tielli - We Didn't Even Suspect He Was the Poppy Salesman - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Recording information 04/01/2001. Unknown Contributor Roles Kasia Zaton; Martin Tielli; Michael Phillip Wojewoda. These songs by Martin Tielli, guitarist/vocalist of Canadian art rockers the Rheostatics, reveal a sardonic look at different aspects of life, including a few revolving around the music industry. Exemplified by InchMy Sweet Relief,Inch a song revolving about a singer Inchclear and trueInch but not Inchwearin' the right boots. Inch InchVoices From the Wilderness,Inch upon close listen, is an obvious reference to Rush singer Geddy Lee. The artistic, intrinsic style of Tielli is the trait which carries so many of the songs, particularly when it comes to InchFarmer in the City,Inch one of the two longer tunes among the 11. InchThat's How They Do It in WarsawInch is the only upbeat, up-tempo song, with some lyrics in Polish. InchFrom the ReelInch is the highlight, which is saying quite a lot in this extremely qualitative offering. Album Tracks 1. I'll Never Tear You Apart 2. My Sweet Relief 3. Double X 4.
