Casa Rolle

Casa Rolle was a creative high for the Monster music machine.  The Title was first inspired by "Slowhand" Clapton's publishing company & a plate of "mushy noodles".  Yeah, pun fever still runs rampant after a couple nights of wrestling with lyrics & mixed metaphors.  At this juncture, Eddie became more reclusive & stayed home with even greater intensity.  At first it was strange, working in a more solo vein during the writing process.  But then I was inspired by "outer-spatial stuff" & collaborated with mix master Mark Evans on "Got A Woman (Identified Love Object)". The track featured varied influences from the "sons of the beach" to "illegal aliens from outer space".  The harmonies & track layers, Turk's guitar & the synth work against the vocals added to a confident otherworldly "find your inner-extrovert" vibe.  Still we missed that "Snaz angst" that Eddie brought to our sessions.  Whoda thunk that we'd buy into the conflict?  It was between this, our 4th studio effort & the next, "Fools, Love, & Politics", that Media Monster & the music world at large lost another long-time friend & rythm-master, Mark Craney.  We can never forget how his talent & constant encouragement always helped us to "play on".   --BC
