‘Heavy’ album booms with nostalgic sonic sound
By MIKE LEE
Olttw Emaratd
Heavy-metal rock will be the
elevator music of the 21st
century.
Aging housewives shopping
in their local conglomerama
will feel soothed as Muzak
pipes in those familiar sonic
boom drums and screaming
guitars. Ah, for the simpler
times, they'll say as they pur
chase the week's allotment of
non-radioactive soymilk
Even in 1981, most of the
music on the Heavy Metal
soundtrack album seems
passe But on closer listening
— aided by proper consump
tion of herbs and distilled
grains — the music is not that
at all
It's nostalgic
Although all of the double
album's 16 tracks are new —
except Devo s reworking of
"Working in the Coal Mine" —
most of them capture the
Happy Days of Heavy Metal

Sammy Hagar's gut-shaking
title track contains all of the
wonderful elements of the
genre. As he screams "It's
your one-way ticket to mid
night — call it Heavy Metal."
you're already forgetting the
last shower you took
heavy metal staple The music
is to be felt, not heard
Unfortunately, the album's
title is misleading Heavy Me
tal. the film and the fantasy
magazine, refers to ore, not
music While the soundtrack
plays on the pun — and that's
‘It’s like listening to a child play with all of
the 1970s music stops on a Genie organ.'
And if the good ol’ drums
and rasping guitars aren't en
ough, there's the classic jet
engine riff — RRRRWWW
WWWEEEEEEOOOOOOO -
— that should be outlawed
during the air controllers'
strike
Likewise, ‘ Queen Bee by
the resurrected Grand Funk,
features drummer Don Brewer
having the time of his life on a
12/8 rolling beat Sure, the
words may be a bit stupid --
"They can't see what you
mean to me. my Queen Bee' —
but lyrics never have been a
what it is — the film's
producers refuse to be
trapped by it
Thus, songs appear on the
album that thematically have
no place being there “True
Companion,” by Donald
Fagen of Steely Dan, sounds
like a post-Herb Alpert. pre
Dionne Warwick latin shuffle
The song says Yes, there will

AD
Journey's "Open Arms”
uses heavy metal drum and
guitars, but it’s a ballad — a
ballad — with an acoustical
piano, and it reeks ot Barry
Manilow
However, "I Must Be
Dreaming" by Cheap Trick
isn't so bad Beginning with a
sound approximating ele
phants snorting coke, it
segues to a punching-bag
drum and jet-engine guitar,
segues again to a new-wave
march, then works its way
back to the elephants It s like
listening to a child play with all
of the t970s music stops on a
Genie organ
The lyrics are much too
nasty for Heavy Metal "You
must be dreaming to think I
love you " That's what makes
the other music nostalgic —
time was when listeners were
on the musician's side Now
we want to hit him
Oh, well In spite of its faults,
"Heavy Metal" is a fun, slickly
produced album, an auditory
"Raiders of the Lost Ark " All
of the gimmicks are there
I just hope the movie is in

Fluids beat heat wave
Should Eugene s 100-degree
temperatures return, public
health engineer Harold Young
quist has a simple solution
"Leave the valley and go to
the coast "
But for residents who are un
able to indulge in the luxury of a
seaside retreat Youngquist
recommends drinking plenty of
fluids, avoiding the sun and
refraining from mixing alcohol
and exercise
Only people who work in the
sun should increase their salt
intake he says
"All salt does is make you
retain fluid, and if you re already
drinking plenty of fluids, you'll
be OK "
The heat hasn't caused many
health problems because "heat

people respond to it conserva
tively Soungquist says
However, Tim Birr, Eugene
fire department representative,
says the fire department has
responded to 13 heat-related
problems since Saturday Most
were cases of heat exhaustion
Heart-related ailments have
increased 5 to 10-percent, he
says and although there is no
direct correlation, heat and
heart problems are more than
casually related "
The extreme heat poses a
more serious problem for new
born babies and pregnant
women, according to Arthur
Salisbury, a March of Dimes
Birth Defects Foundation phy
sician
Pregnant women should be
sure to drink lots of fluids min
imize physical activity and in
crease salt intake he says
Also, infants should be
clothed in only a diaper and not
wrapped in blankets if the home
isn't air conditioned
