Beelzebubs - Play the Game

Every two years, the 14 or 15 young Collegiate men who are Tufts University’s Beelzebubs get together to record a statement of who they have become, singing together in one of the most exciting Collegiate groups we have heard! 12 wonderfully-arranged a cappella covers, some favorites: Rufus Wainwright’s “Go or Go Ahead,” the Who’s “Who Are You,” Mute Math’s “Typical,” the Format’s very funny “Dog Problems,” Eddie Murphy’s “Party All The Time,” a poignant take on Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” Beck’s “Debra,” Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell,” and Pink Floyd’s classic “Goodbye, Cruel World.” The solid vocal percussion, faux synthesizer and horns on a cut like “Rebel Yell” had us wondering how such a full, accompanied sound is possible with only voices. One of the most entertaining Collegiate recordings of the year! 1779 CD 14.95
