Grace Slick - Software [RCA 1984]


I had few expectations of Grace Slick's Software [RCA 1984]. My Jefferson Airplane completism is kicking in, and this appeared on the surface to be a new low, a symptom of where completism goes terribly wrong. The LP had the added allure of being sealed and $1.

After unwrapping, the dead wax revealed "TML" The Mastering Lab, and the liner notes confirm the excellent Doug Sax as the mastering engineer.

AllMusic didn't seem to rate the LP highly, only 2.5 stars, but upon reading the extensive review, the writer considers this album the strongest Airplane side-project. And to compare "Bikini Atoll" to my favorite Airplane song "Lather", well I had to hear it through. And it ends with a bang.

The album is standard early 80s pop on the one hand - lots of synths and drum , but Slick adds a surreal quality that transcends the period flourishes.

This album is really a trip. The lyrics are fun and I thinks it's Grace's best solo project. She should still be recording. Age means what? Thank you!
