Creme and Godley Face the Consequences

10cc's Other Half Unveils the Gizmo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1974, Lol Creme revealed the existence of a new instrument, The Gizmo, in an exclusive interview with Circus Magazine at the time of the release of 10cc's third album, The Original Soundtrack. In the two years that followed, 10cc grew to the status of internationally respected innovators in the realms of pop music and studio technology. Lol and the other 10cc/gizmoite, Kevin Godley, found the demands on their time overwhelming, making the completion of a Gizmo recording project nearly impossible. In a move that did not bode well for the future of 5cc (who went on to record Deceptive Bends), Lol and Kevin left the group in Fall 1976. With ten minutes of the opus finished, Kevin and Lol got a commitment from Europe's mammoth Phonogram Ltd. complex to record a three record set dealing with "the story of man's last defense against an irate nature," and revealing the full range of uses of their remarkable gadget, a mechanical device that when attached to a guitar's bridge, is capable of producing a range of sound that the inventor of the Moog synthesizer called "a real innovation."

A year later, surrounded by an atmosphere of strict secrecy, that album, Consequences (on Phonogram Records) was debuted before the Phonogram/Mercury sales force in a domed 17th Century church in the heart of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. From the moment the presentation began, it was clear that neither the Phonogram officials nor their salesmen knew what Consequences would be. Rapt attention met the initial introduction by a heavily brogued Scot: "Something was not right this day," he began, detailing the ecodisaster Lol and Kevin had recorded. "Death was experienced." Somehow it all had to do with the numeral 17 (in fact, the presentation was taking place at the 17th minute of the 17th hour on the 17th day of the 9th month of 1977 - heavy, heh?). The Scotsman vacated the stand before a three-story-high pipe organ, but not before delivering a final veiled message to the men who'd have to sell the album, at up to $20 a throw: "You may like it, you may loathe it, but you can't afford to ignore... Consequences!"

The two hour-plus record began and it became immediately apparent why Phonogram were unwilling to treat it as a normal disc. Sounding like a cross between 10cc, Monty Python, middle period Moody Blues and the least linear moments of the Firesign Theatre, the record demands being listened to, but then, if the response of the sales team was any indication, refuses to give up much in return. Bees buzz, Negroes hum the blooze, Peter Cook, the British comedian, adds long segments of what one supposes to be comedy, and then the Gizmo launches into action, impressive, but lacking any direction. Twenty minutes into the presentation, heads began dropping on breastbones and the (unintentionally) funniest moment of the record occurred when snoring came from the speakers as eyes closed around the room. Already there was a cloying sense that though the disc would go on, things would not improve. Consequences was barely interesting then only as a display of the capabilities of Gizmo, which sat before the listeners in a glass case on presumptuous black velvet.

"It's not a good omen when goldfish commit suicide," Cook quipped in one of his various recorded personas. Nor is it a good omen when that was the best joke the record had to offer. For Lol and Kevin's sake, one left hoping Consequences would, at least, sell a few Gizmos.
