Vocalist Maxine Sullivan sings the classic blues, jazz, and stomp tunes that were in vogue at the legendary Cotton Club in Harlem during the '20s, '30s, and '40s. Although well along in her career by this point ('84), she still had a hearty, animated voice and dynamic delivery and put enough punch in her versions to make these ancient tunes both authentic and contemporary.
What a mess! Pig entrails and mash-ups? Demented children and piracy? Who's going to clean up this sticky filth? Certainly not me! To attempt to review a compilation of forty six tracks from various artists (who aren't all V/Vm alter-egos) related to and enjoyed by V/Vm over two compact discs is an exercise in futility. According to the V/Vm website, contributions have come from all over the world, and considering the eclecticism displayed by these selections, I'm not surprised in the slightest. Setting the tone for this absurd and sometimes entertaining collection is the goofy title track, performed by The Krankies, who are purportedly a 'sick Scottish comedy duo'. Unfortunately, this awkward children's song is a highlight on this uneven compilation. Somewhat dull rock music bastardizations and bland noisescapes are served here in heaping portions by several no-name acts probably better off being unknown. The only tracks here that get my attention and praise are the pop and rap bootleg mixes. Toecutter's 'DMX On Tick' takes the gruff rapper's standard shouts and turns them into a glitchy freakout. Skkatter thrashes the BT-produced 'NSYNC track 'Dirty Pop' with potent DSP fuckery. I would be remiss in my duties as a contributor to this fine publication if I did not mention Kevin Blechdom's tribute to our fair-skinned editor-in-chief Jon Whitney. 'Jon Whitney Houston' is a touching, sentimental tribute to the man we call Mom, a wonderful cover of 'I Will Always Love You' sung word for word. All gushing aside, this really is an iffy release from the V/Vm camp. After their tributes to love, Aphex Twin, and The Shining, I expect more from this shapeless collective of mad hatters and super goons.

Time is the Key is the fourth album by Pierre Moerlen's Gong. It was released in late 1979.[2]
Featuring an all-instrumental jazz-driven sound, notable for the prominent use of vibraphone, it has little to do with the psychedelicspace rock of Daevid Allen's Gong, even though the two bands share a common history.[3]
It features the English jazz keyboard player Peter Lemer on most tracks, their only album to do so, and Allmusic notes that there is also a progressive rock influence at play, especially on the first two numbers.[1]
