reduced to laughter

first time i started a thread and probaby done in some way but...

i came across 666 aphrodite's child record recently and went mad for it, so obviously enthused and encouraged friends, family, the dead to buy, let me give to them -brother got it and his instant reaction was it sounds like bonzo dog band- and i can hear what he is talling about in its random, ranging stylitic changes but i didnt want to have that in my head when i listened to it

so then i thought do i actulally like laughter/comedy in music when i really really like the music/record/cd

it changes my image of it and im left robbed

hopefully with the studies at UCL into mindbodybrainmusicmorphism it wont matter but at this present time it does

I'm not quite sure where you're getting at. "Left robbed", why?

Laughing in records, be it the artists themselves or an audience, is a sure-fire recipe for greatness! Case in point, Beach Boys' Little Pad: the trippy laughters at the beginning perfectly contrast with the subsequent mellowness, musically illustrating "the joy in the sorrow/the sorrow in the joy" expression. See also: The Laughing Policeman—mental or just jolly? Ambiguity is underrated.
