"..van de lasatste comositie in een al te swingende pastiche werd..."
If necessary, I'll translate this as "swinging pastiche" (or hodgepodge), but I was wondering if anyone had a particularly keen phrase for it. It is being said in a vaguely negative way - this song is the last one in a pastiche that was already too swingende.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
