“Stimulator”, Stimulator
“Stimulator”, Stimulator, Stimulator Records, 2003
Yes, this is stimulating. This is one of the many male/female duos where the woman (Susan Hyatt) sings and the guy (Geoff Tyson) does the instruments with a few guests and keyboardist Mike Oristian.
They have a nice poppy sound. Hyatt’s voice has a strong girrl power attitude. Tyson provides sound that is rock backup with a bit of electronic added. The whole point seems to be to provide a good time, and it does.
On “Let’s Hook Up,” Hyatt can’t remember her companion’s name, can’t remember her way home, and wants to do “things” to you, and that is just on the third cut. She has admitted on an earlier song to having a thousand lovers. On the next track she asks if you would die for her. Hey, when I was younger, I would have put my life on the line just to meet her.
This is a stylistic CD, with the front cover picture featuring Hyatt’s black-clad legs holding a phallic looking microphone. It has the songs to back up style. Each of the eleven cuts has a great melody with a driving beat.
The eighth song is a cover of “Magic,” which was a hit for Olivia Newton-John. The band’s web site explains that the eleventh song, “Just Like a Girl,” was sung “from the perspective of a female blow up doll. She finds happiness in the arms of a male inflatable.”
What more incentive do you need to buy this CD? There is only one – Hyatt might discipline you if you don’t.
