Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Casablanca Moon is a 1974 (or 1973 or 1980 still) album by Slapp Happy, the history of which is pretty complicated. It was first recorded by the band in collaboration with Faust in 1973, with ascetic, austere instrumentation. Its genre can be definited as a mix of art-pop and avant-pop with a share of progressive-pop. The band's label, Polydor Records, rejected it and its release was cancelled.It was rerecorded in 1974 for Virgin Records with the addition of an orchestra so that it sounded much more lush. The refreshed material was released with the album under two names: Slapp Happy and Casablanca Moon.The band members, Anthony Moore and Peter Blegvad, were not entirely satisfied by the result and later managed to reissue the original versions of the tracks which were more to their liking. It happened in 1980 already after Dagmar Krause had left for Henry Cow and Moore and Blegved had parted ways too. Now everyone can compare the versions and decide which are better in every case.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Word of God goes: "For the more direct approach it would have to be Acnalbasac Noom. It had a naïve spontaneity to it. Naïve in the nicest sense of the nicest sense of the word."The 1980 release was first named Slapp Happy or Slapphappy. Which deninitely confirmed who were the band behind the music and the lyrics so that no-one would doubt about that. Probably. Then in 1982 it was reissued once more as Acnalbasac Noom.The new reissue of 1990 contained four worthy bonus tracks added to the 1980 version of the album.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Tsilkcart:For the 1974 release known as Casablanca Moon or Slapp Happy: "Casablanca Moon" (2:45) "Me and Parvati" (3:22) "Half Way There" (3:14) "Michelangelo" (2:33) "Dawn" (3:17) "Mr. Rainbow" (3:49) "The Secret" (3:28) "A Little Something" (4:30) "The Drum" (3:34) "Haiku" (3:01) "Slow Moon's Rose" (2:53)For the 1980 release, known as Slapp Happy or Slapphappy which later in 1982 was reissued as Acnalbasac Noom: "Casablanca Moon" (2:57) "Me and Parvati" (3:25) "Mr. Rainbow" (3:45) "Michelangelo" (2:34) "The Drum" (3:45) "A Little Something" (3:15) "The Secret" (3:20) "Dawn" (3:30) "Half-Way There" (3:02) "Charlie 'n Charlie" (2:18) "Slow Moon's Rose" (3:06)In 1990 four bonus tracks were added to the new release of the latter version: "Everybody's Slimmin' (Even Men and Women)" ( 4:07) "Blue Eyed William (demo)" (3:32) "Karen (demo)" (3:16) "Messages" (2:07) | |

Epic Rocking: Averted by "Mr. Rainbow", which while sounding huge is actually only 3:49 (or 3:45) long. In the 1980 album it is still the longest track because the songs generally last between 2:30 and 3:30. The 1974 version of "A Little Something" is the closest to this trope, lasting 4:30 even though it is cute and by no means bombastic. | |

A Day in the Limelight: Blegvad has a huge vocal presence on "Mr. Rainbow" in 1974 version while the other tracks are sung by Krause. "Slow Moon's Rose" is the only original song credited exclusively to Moore while the rest of the songs is credited to Blegvad or both Moore and Blegvad. Also the last 1990 bonus track, "Messages", is credited to Dagmar Krause. Blegvad sings on "Karen" - another 1990 bonus track. | |

Up to eleven for "Mr. Rainbow ",which has three versions, two for each release of the album and a third can be found as a B-Side of the 1975 non-album single "Johnny's Dead" (interestingly credited to "Slapp Happy featuring Anthony Moore".) | |

Album Title Drop | |
| Casablanca Moon (Music) / int_dbc664dd | comment |
Album Title Drop: A curious retrospective variant. Acnalbacas Noom is mentioned once in the song Casablanca Moon released in 1974 in the end of the second verse. It is only later in 1982 that an album with the Sdrawkcab Name was released. Thus it became a proper title drop only 8 years after the song became available. Played much straighter with the phrase "Casablanca Moon", which is mentioned several times throughout the tracks. The name of the band themselves (and also somewhat of a title for some of their albums) is mentioned in the song "Everybody's Slimmin'", a 1990 bonus track. Except that an article "a" is put between two words. | |

Dark Reprise: On the 1974 album, "Mr. Rainbow" is performed with more instrumentation and with Blegvad delivering half of the lines in a much more sinister style than a previous take made earlier but released on the 1980 album. In the former version, the vocals are exclusively by Krause and entirely lack the menacing edge. | |
