Retromania and Danny Kirwan

[aleuzzi]

The author's thesis is predicated on the fact that Kirwan's solo output is "musical detritus of the past." Though not on par with his work with FM, the solo albums are far from worthless. Moreover, none of those albums appear on a "major" label--as the writer claims.

Some interesting ideas about consumerism and a leveling of product access. But using Kirwan's solo work as the central, extended example seems as oddly misplaced as the author's claim that it should be available at all.
