Editoral Review
Indeed, 30 years of history be damned, the Ono of Blueprint still seems consumed by agit- prop feminism and instinctive angst. Consider Yoko Ono's historical plight: is she a pioneering musical avant-gardist or a pretentious opportunist? But if Ono is concerned about that disparate legacy, there's little evidence on this 2001 release. The pulsing two-part soundscape "I Want You to Remember Me" descends from threatening dialog in its first act to harrowing violence in the second. If there are frequent bowings to more traditional song forms (the playful, star-struck pop of "Wouldnit 'Swing'," "Is This What We Do"'s Spanish-inflected boomer rock, the Caribbean rhythms of "I'm Not Getting Enough"), their rhetoric generally leaves little doubt that woman is still the nigger of Ono's world. While her late husband's influence can be felt on the spare "Soul Got out of the Box" and the anthemic "I Remember Everything," the epic live improvisatory workouts "Rising II" and "Mulberry" that consume nearly half the album pay ample tribute to Ono's own provocative musical impulses. And while her id-clearing screeches and tortuous throat-warbling are trademarks claimed as inspiration by the B-52's and others, they won't do much to dissuade cynics convinced the artist owes at least some small debt to the Looney Tunes sound effects department. Let the debate begin. --Jerry McCulley
