Performer Notes
  • Following up on 2007's debut EP, THE DISTANT FUTURE, the full-length FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS features songs from the first season of the New Zealand musical comedy duo's HBO series. Only the brilliant Barry White parody, "Business Time," is duplicated from the EP, although two of its live songs, "Robots" and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room" (featuring the surefire come-on "You could be a part-time model/But you'd probably have to keep your normal job"), are given the full studio treatment.
  • What makes FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS better than either the average television soundtrack or the average musical comedy album is that even aside from the sharp wit and often hilarious lyrics (see: "A Kiss Is Not A Contract" and "Ladies of the World"), singers and multi-instrumentalists Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are genuinely gifted pop songwriters able to craft tuneful, memorable songs in a variety of styles. The genre parodies here, from the gibberish bossa nova "Foux da Fafa" and the deadpan rap clich‚s of "Hiphopoptamous Vs. Rhymenoceros" to the note-perfect impersonations of the Pet Shop Boys ("Inner City Pressure") and David Bowie ("Bowie"), are more than catchy enough to stand on their own.

Professional Reviews
Uncut (p.95) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Multi-instrumentalist Bret McKenzie possesses a musical gift commensurate with his comedic talent..."

Q (Magazine) (p.138) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement are indeed funny, but over the course of an album they're musical enough to withstand repeated plays."

Thoroughly enjoyable summertime listening, certainly puts a smile on your face. Keep it playing in the background and the odd line you find yourself singing along too, then you think twice about what the heck you are singing about. Pure geneis. Love flight of the conchords. Brilliant!

Excellent CD. If you have heard them before and enjoy their witty, elaborative ways, then you will enjoy this even more. The inclusion of some light drumming and chime instrumentation also helps to make each song even better than it's acoustic predecessor. Brilliantly produced and edited, the CD is much worth it's cost and will have you in fits of laughter the whole way through. A few personal favorites are "Mutha'Uckas" and Business Time. Enjoy

This is such a surprisingly good set of tracks from such great comedians. Their dry lyrics, good melodic and instrumental variety, and Jermaine's good vocal range means this CD could stand alone. But when it is linked with memories of the funny series, it's even better. This album would make a great gift for a fan of the series.
