Just like any music fan, I get excited about the arrival of certain discs on the marketplace. But I can't really explain why I was so eager to get my review copy of Pornosonic: Unreleased 70s Porno Music. Anyone who has watched movies from this genre will freely admit you don't rent these things for the soundtrack.

Whatever the case, I discovered a hidden danger to this disc. After spending an evening listening to this disc for review, something clicked in my brain, and I had an idea. When my wife came home from work, I met her at the door wearing my silk robe, a glass of champagne in my hand, and this disc blaring in the background. I then asked her, in the best bass voice I could muster up, if she wanted to get freaky.

I've been sleeping on the couch for the last three nights. But I digress.

Pornosonic, to be truthful, doesn't sound like the music on these 10 tracks are really pulled from '70s porn flicks, for one good reason - the tracks sound too clean. I'd have had an easier time believing that this was the real thing if the tracks sounded like they had a layer of sonic grit on them, as if they had just been pulled from the vault of some studio.
