Dave Soldier - The People's Choice Music - The Most Unwanted Song - Cassette Tape

Brand new item, factory sealed and ready to ship fast from the U.S.

Discover one of experimental music's strangest and most entertaining creations with The People's Choice Music, a fascinating collaboration between composer Dave Soldier and conceptual artists Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid. Originally developed in the 1990s, this unusual project used public opinion surveys to determine the musical elements listeners loved most—and disliked most.

The resulting recordings take radically different approaches. "The Most Wanted Song" combines accessible pop arrangements with guitar contributions from Living Colour's Vernon Reid, while "The Most Unwanted Song" unleashes nearly 22 minutes of deliberate musical chaos.

Expect bagpipes, accordions, children's holiday singing, operatic vocals, cowboy references, advertising jingles, and abrupt shifts in tempo and volume. The result is a hilarious, challenging exploration of musical taste, creativity, and the absurdity of trying to please everyone.

Reissued by Needlejuice Records with audio remastered by Tyler Imbrogno, this edition features a brown cassette shell, Dolby B noise reduction, artwork by Paige Turner, and a five-panel J-card containing survey and poll data.

A wonderfully unconventional addition for collectors of avant-garde music, experimental comedy, and unusual recordings that challenge what music can be.
