Welch's Pop Swan Song Shines With Techno Flare
Review written by Edward R. Schwab, September 18th, 2004 This is the last of a chain of albums Welch recorded just prior to an apparent early retirement. Although the matter at hand was substance abuse at the time, his songwriting skills seemed undamaged. Entering into a new musical age, Welch opted here to fuse pop with fusion, something that so many since him had done with greater sucess. This was his second recording for RCA, and also his second without any contribution whatsoever from any of his Mac bandmates (Fleetwood had been his manager through the Capitol years). On this disc, Welch seems to almost reek Devo or be a predacessor for the likes of Thompson Twins and Nu Shooz. A far cry from his early days in the 60's, hiding in the bottom of tour busses during the Watts Riots. But whereas the music was soulful, and one could (in fact would) say more structured and lyric-oriented, Eye Contact is sharper, brighter, and cleaner than most of the other recordings he became associated with. Taking advantage of new technology, the sound left the listener with the impression that the entire recording was made on a computer, something that now (with MIDI capabilities), is commonplace. But its worth noting that while the album may lack soul or spirit, it does become almost injected with creative license. "Fever" the single off the album (the single version was better), wasnt even the shining star off the disc. "Love On The Line" was by far the gem off the album. Its laden, choral verses only complimented by the ballad-y piano movements. "Bernadette" is quite a refereshing piece that reflects back on something that may have been released on The Other One. "I'll Dance Alone", now reincarnated frequently on Napster and in dance halls, grinds a robotic, bass synth groove that steers the song along like a freight train and still Welch finds more ways to explore his musical identity. It is also worth noting that gone now com-pletely, is Welch's gift for supernatural interests, of which is a shame, becasue he is so well identified with just that. A far-cry from his days with Fleetwood Mac, listening to this album, almost makes it hard to believe he was ever a part of the Bare Trees lineup or ever wrote Hypnotized...Still, once again, Welch pro-vided the listener with exactly what they expect to get from a Bob Welch record...a different listening experience with an always enjoyable approach to pop music....
