| | Bad Brains Live! CD Bad Brains Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
The Bad Brains' tour in support of I AGAINST I ultimately spawned three live collections over the years--1988's LIVE, 1990's YOUTH ARE GETTING RESTLESS, and 1991's SPIRIT ELECTRICITY. RESTLESS was the first of the aforementioned trilogy to see release, and it most successfully captures all the power and fury of the Brains in concert. But LIVE still has its share of gems. Highlights include the red-hot hardcore sounds of "I," "At the Movies," and "Right Brigade," the tranquil ska of "I and I Survive," and the metallic roar of "Re-Ignition" and "Sacred Love."
Bad Brains: H.R. (vocals); Dr. Know (guitar); Darryl (bass); Earl (drums).

Live! album
 $12.95 
Lard's Pure Chewing Satisfaction is a dark, frightening look at everything wrong with America. The lyrics are pessimistic and apocalyptic in the extreme. Jello Biafra, who teams up with the dudes from Ministry to create Lard, is an artist who often prefers to make his point through unusual songs in which he cuts up and mixes phrases and decides what the song is about later, as he does here on the eerie "Moths." "Kneel... Al Jolson-style/Please, please, can I get a raise/Crawl, crawl through the steaming jungle/Please, please more purple Kool-Aid/Tabloid beauty corpses point the way," he sings on "Moths." Biafra says the song is about applying for a job. "Faith, Hope and Treachery" details the legacy of the Me Generation and their failure at their personal relationships, while "Sidewinder" takes place after an environmental disaster and is told from a snake's perspective. Soundwise, Lard is pure Ministry, an avalanche of both real and electronic drums, menacing effects galore, and copious layers of machine gun guitars. A little more experimental than their other records, Pure Chewing Satisfaction came and went and didn't have the impact of Lard's earlier releases, though fans of Biafra's work will definitely want it in their collections. Also, not to be missed is Pure Chewing Satisfaction's booklet, which is ...
| | Bad Brains Rock For Light CD (1983)
Live! CD music
$9.49  
This 1991 reissue of ROCK FOR LIGHT contains three tracks that weren't on the original LP.
Digitally remastered by George Marino (Sterling Sound, New York, New York).
In the early-'80s, the Bad Brains recorded many of the same songs at several different sessions, resulting in such releases as 1982's BAD BRAINS and ROCK FOR LIGHT, 1996's BLACK DOTS, and 1997's OMEGA SESSIONS. ROCK FOR LIGHT is made up of songs produced by Cars leader Ric Ocasek, but unlike the sound of his slick, chart-topping new-wave band, Ocasek wisely kept the production on ROCK FOR LIGHT raw and in-your-face. While such hardcore classics as "Attitude," "Right Brigade," "Banned in D.C.," "Supertouch," "I," "Coptic Times," "Sailin' On," ...
| | Bad Brains I Against I CD (1986)
Live! music CDs
$12.29
Some people just don't 'get' Bad Brains. To be fair, their early recordings can be intimidating, and it is only when you familiarize yourself with the musical dialectics of tracks such as 'Pay To Cum' that you can really appreciate their kinetic aesthetic. Abandoning the speed-freak punk cum dub reggae crossover of old, Bad Brains now employed funk and conventional rock stylings. What they ...
| | Rush Exit Stage Left CD (1981) Remastered
Live! songs
$12.05  
Hot on the heels of their most successful album, Rush's 1981 tour was documented and released as EXIT, itself a Top 10 record. The package is an essential purchase for Rush diehards as well as hard rock fans. It makes a fine companion to ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE, as there are no repeated tracks. The two live records combine to make a fine representation of Rush's prime era.
"YYZ" from MOVING PICTURES features Neil Peart's drum solo and shows why he is truly one of rock's premier skin bashers. Fan favorite "Closer to the Heart" gets the crowd participation going while the epic "Jacob's Ladder" is made to be played in an arena setting. "Xanadu" and album closer "La Villa Strangiato" are both mammoth tracks that exceed the studio versions due to the excellent interplay of the band and their growth as musicians. Recorded in the U.K. and Canada, EXIT is a phenomenal live recording that shows the band can interpret their studio material with both feeling and expertise.
Rush was planning on releasing a live album after the Permanent Waves tour, but manager Cliff Burnstein convinced the group that they were peaking musically and should go straight back into the recording studio -- resulting in their finest album, 1981's Moving Pictures. So after the tour wound down, their postponed live album was finally assembled, released as Exit...Stage Left the same year. The album turned out to be the polar opposite ...
| | Bad Brains CD (1982)
Live! album
$9.55
BAD BRAINS was originally released on cassette. It was issued on CD for the first time in 1996.
The Bad Brains were one of the most important voices of the East Coast hardcore scene during its halcyon days of the '80s. What they brought to the scene was nothing short of revolutionary--infusing the form's rage with the spiritual conviction of the Rasta tradition and the instrumental prowess of seasoned jazz players, they breathed new life into a genre in danger of stagnation, or worse, homogenization. Their album on the initially cassette-only ROIR label arrived like a new day, brimming with positivity and spirituality, as well as an unarguable mastery of the musical form of hardcore.
From the album's opening strains on "Sailin' On," the book was re-written, or at least opened a little wider. Vocalist H.R., one of punk's speediest singers, growls and screams his message like a man possessed. On the band's most recognizable classic, "Pay To Cum," his staccato delivery truly reaches breakneck speed, barely decipherable, the song is a torrent ...
| | Gary Numan Jagged CD (2006)
Live! CD music
$12.95
On 2006's JAGGED, influential synth-pop artist Gary Numan is firmly entrenched in the dark side. This ominous studio outing finds the British singer/multi-instrumentalist focused on atmosphere more than catchy hooks (a la his lone hit "Cars"), seemingly picking up where David Bowie left off on 1995's OUTSIDE (minus that disc's busy narrative conceit). Numan is clearly committed to weighty industrial arrangements on this ...
| | Cold Blood/Sisyphus CD (2001)
Live! music CDs
$12.95
A straight, no-frills-or-bonus-tracks reissue of Cold Blood's first two albums from 1969 and 1971 on one CD, these 13 tracks make a case for the band as one of the better "lost" groups of the late-'60s San Francisco scene. Gutsy-voiced singer Lydia Pense had her Janis Joplin schtick down-pat, and even though the group was fraught with the usual revolving door personnel that a nine-piece is bound to experience, these two albums find them young, hungry, and relatively unscathed by the business dealings that ultimately did them in. Their debut (tracks one through seven) is predominantly comprised of sassy blues and R&B covers injected with their personal groove, while tracks eight through 13 from Sisyphus ply their originals, except for a scorching cover of the Hayes/Porter classic "Your Good Thing" with the young Pointer Sisters on backing vocals. The 2001 remastering is adequate, but the sound, especially on the drums, is a little tinny and compressed. As a combination of Tower of Power's funky horn attack, Big Brother's shambling garage approach, and Chicago's jazz-rock, Cold Blood seemingly had all the correct ingredients, but something was missing. That something was great songs and classy arrangements; so while the group does their best to stamp this music with their unique identity, weak tracks like "I Can't Stay" (where in a fit of misdirected democracy Pense doesn't even sing lead) lie flat. Still, there is enough spontaneous talent and boundless enthusiasm here to show that with a few breaks and better material Cold Blood could have been contenders. As it is the band remains an interesting footnote in music history and this disc, filled with raw energy and a certain primitive idealism, hits enough right notes to be well-worth a listen. ~ Hal Horowitz
Cold Blood was a San Francisco-based Rock/R&B band that performed in the style of their contemporaries Chicago and Blood Sweat & Tears. Music impresario Bill Graham was so impressed with the group when they played his Fillmore West in 1969, he signed them to his record label. Highlights on this Collectables 2-for-1 collection include 'I Wish I Knew Hot It Would Feel To Be Free' and two tunes by Isaac Hayes and David Porter.
Originally released on San Francisco Records.

Live! songs
$13.89
Indicative of her study of, and growing preoccupation with, Vedic themes, the album is splashed with textures from traditional Indian instrumentation, as well as Coltrane's expansive articulations on organ and harp. What is most striking, though, is her ability to fuse Western forms with Eastern spiritual traditions and maintain a reciprocal respect and reverence of both. From the sublime harp-plus-string ...

This is an anthology of 50 pre-Rat Pack recordings by bel canto crooner Dean Martin, including some with his comic partner Jerry Lewis.
Dean Martin always seemed to manage to maintain a slight detachment from the world. The mundane things in life which have a habit of getting in the way of most of us, the trials and tribulations always seemed to wash over him as he effortlessly pursued successful careers acting in film, on-stage and TV and of course in music. Always carefree and cool his iconic status was assured with membership of the legendary Rat Pack and with Sinatra, Davis Jr and co he lived life to excess. Rules and consequences had no ...
