The intent in all our production was to transcend the boundaries of the stagnant dumb and dumber low level of music for children today. Indeed in 25 years of working with children and producing musical works for them, it is the excitement from the children themselves that allows us to take evolutionary leaps and gravitate to more beauty and sophistication in our music.
Culturally speaking children from around the world hear very sophisticated melodies and rhythms with business as usual. Sadly in American music for children artists are then chided when they raise the bar?
Our project was also to inspire bilingual children to sing with ease in both languages.
I admit the record company at the time did choose a very silly cover not at all to my liking that would lead customers to think it would be a dumb kiddie record.
We will re-release the new 2010 Peanut-man version with an appropriate sophisticated cover.
Thanks for the mostly good review its appreciated.
