Looking at the CD cover alone, one would have trouble imagining what music lay inside. Indeed, I picked this CD up for $1 years ago based, once again, on the name and image. Little could I expect that the music would be pop, with a strong glam and funk bent. Fabulon was essentially Kevin Macbeth, a 6 foot plus former rocker who moved from Miami to Atlanta and finally New York, after gigging in many bands. He wanted to make 'quality' pop music that incorporated the sounds of some of his idols - the rock of the Rolling Stones, the glam of T-Rex and the funk of Prince. I'd say that Prince's influence is the most obvious here. In fact, many could mistake this for a lost Prince album! The songs are very well-constructed, groovy and catchy. And his image was very glam and androgynous (as were his lyrics). He seemed to have it all. The first single "In A Mood" appeared on Billboard's Modern Rock chart, but the second single "Say Anything" went mostly unnoticed, despite house mixes from MK. Then Fabulon disappeared, despite his desire to become a revered pop god. Not much has been heard from Macbeth since, though at some point in the last few years he formed an act called Stupid World, whose music can be heard HERE. It's a shame Fabulon never caught on, because he had everything going for him and should have been the star he dreamed of being. It appears that we can only imagine what Volume 2 may have sounded like...Video for In A Mood
