Free Action - Plays Eddy Korsche

Vg+/ex- | Hey, listen up, Eddy Korsche fans! Here's a gen-yoo-wine Italian psycho go-go freakout MONSTER that takes the rock and blues sounds of the mighty Eddy Korsche and turns ‘em into something that even the most die-hard Eddy Korsche fan wouldn't recognize. I mean, can you THINK of the last time a band interpreted an Eddy Korsche song as a loud pounding go-go squealer with biting acid guitar? Okay, can you think of the last time a band interpreted an Eddy Korsche song? Alright then, let me put it this way – Who the f** IS Eddy Korsche???



Beats me. But the Free Action Incorporated have apparently devoted a whole album to, as they put it, the “Rock and Blues” of Eddy Korsche. A quick Google search revealed two Eddy Korsches – one was an Austrian producer for some obscure Roman swingin' Sixties band called Under 2000. The other posted a comment about sugar intake on the German website Diabetes News. Neither Eddy boasts a big enough resume to have a whole ALBUM devoted to them, so I gotta think the diabetes guy must've played slide blues on the side. And the Free Action Incorporated is really just a front for Lilly Pharmaceuticals.



Whatever the case, if the Free Action Incorporated is truly a business, then boys and girls, they're in the business to ROCK! And they start laying down the corporate law right away in the funky jagged rumpshaker they call “Life Story” – it's the Turtles' “Buzzsaw” with roller rink organ. A variation on Deep Purple's “Hush” with power chords. And again on the swingin' Sixties spy caper theme “My Girl,” a Peter Sellers nightmare with ripping fuzz guitar licks, demented go-go beat, and some damn-near inexplicable operatic harmony breaks that sound like something Syd Barrett might've worked on with a young Freddie Mercury if they were both in the Shadows. And Eddy, how are our tiny little brains supposed to process the yodeling breaks in “Sorry,” a kind of go-go exploito adaptation of Focus's “Hocus Pocus”? Damn you, Eddy Korsche! I just missed my insulin shot!



Meanwhile, Eddy's probably loving this stuff. “Zose Free Action boyz are doink a GREAT job interpretink my rawk und blooz,” he sniffs between shots of cognac, pausing to post another comment about blood glucose before the irresistible dancefloor MONSTER “Aunt Trudy” starts blaring out of the speakers in his Tyrolian townhouse. “Even I don't know vat zay are singing in dieses song,” he muses. And sure enough, if the Free Action Corporation are supposed to be shouting the title “Aunt Trudy,” it ends up sounding more like “I'm rolling!” Or “I'm a roadie.” Or maybe even “I'm Romaine,” as in the lettuce or the Rebecca Stamos-O'Connell variety, either one of which I'd gladly eat before a meal. But hell, it doesn't matter what they're saying, really – not when you've got all those banging drums, squealing acid guitars and groovy-a** go-go soul beats blaring out of your overtaxed woofers and tweeters. “It's zee party in a box!” shouts Eddy as he's sandwiched between two mini-skirted dancing girls in silver thigh-high boots, “But I steel don't know vot she sees in zat Jerry O'Connell fella…”



So in the end, it doesn't really matter WHO Eddy Korsche is. We can only thank him for writing his rock and blues, and then thank the syndicate of rock known as the Free Action Incorporated for translating them…sorta…into massive dancefloor movers and shakers for those of us who don't have access to German diabetes forums. Eddy, we love you, man. You're the best. Now go take your insulin.
