CAKE - Prolonging The Magic (Deluxe Edition) (1998/2023) [Official Digital Download]

Cake's third studio album, "Prolonging the Magic," is a classic alternative rock album that has been remastered.

The album features hit songs like "Never There" and "Sheep Go to Heaven," as well as a cover of Gloria Gaynor's disco classic "I Will Survive." Cake's unique blend of post-punk, funk, and country influences make for a dynamic listening experience, with witty lyrics and catchy hooks. Fans of Cake's quirky, genre-defying style will appreciate this high-quality HiRes-reissue.

An amiable, moderate Cake? You'd never believe it if you only heard the opening track, a song with the somewhat unconventional title "Satan is My Engine". But it's actually the case that on most of Prolonging the Magic, the Sacramento, California quintet tone down tracks like "Rock and Roll Lifestyle" and "The Distance" from albums the Motorcade of Generosity and Fashion Nugget. On "Alpha Beta Parking Lot" and "Guitar," however, you'll find straightforward songwriting with good observational skills and the simple yet quirky comments on relationship boxes "Where Would I Be?" and "Walk on By." No need to worry: Humour is still the group's trademark and audible on "You turn the Screws" and "Sheep go to Heaven" while steel guitar influences added to their already unusually broad range. As the title suggests, Cake seems capable of extending the magic for a while longer.
