U.S. Maple's debut album is nothing short of stunning, combining angular guitar attacks, odd skronks, jazzy tones, and a generally deconstructive approach to music into a sound of unparalleled idiosyncrasy. The record's finest moments come when the slanted attack and fractured composition converge to simulate something approaching a conventional song ("Letter to ZZ Top," with lyrics like "Give my bones to Billy Gibbons," pretty much rules out any notion of normality). Between these off-kilter constructions and the group's even more off-kilter deconstructions, a truly amazing record is created, one that combines hard-edged, "whiskey, no chaser" rock with exceptionally intelligent slants and fractures. ~ Nitsuh Abebe

Alternative Press (3/96, p.53) - "...this release...tells the story of a cross-pollination of scenes in Chicago;...it reaffirms an ideal: that there's still more to be done with electric guitars....Far from creating some sort of derivative referential collage, it's as if U.S. Maple were a huge sponge, and LONG HAIR IN STAGES was the sound of it being wrung out..."

Long Hair In Three Stages
$17.15 ZAIREEKA is a 4-CD limited edition release. Each CD contains the same 8 compositions intended for simultaneous playback on up to 4 CD players.
It would be an understatement to say that ZAIREEKA, the four-disc, experimental opus from Oklahoma City's resident post-punk geniuses the Flaming Lips, is not your run-of-the-mill release. Each disc has a partial mix of the same eight songs, so the only way to hear the album as intended is by using four different cd-players at once. Yet, as Lips ...

| | Magic Time: The Millennium/Ballroom Sessions CDs (2001)
Long Hair In Three Stages
$26.99 Pay attention here, because although this release contains a lot of material by the Millennium, it's not exactly a Millennium album and not exactly an expanded edition of the Begin album, although everything from that record is here. This three-CD package is really a roundup of numerous Curt Boettcher-affiliated recordings from 1965-68, focusing mostly on tracks by the Millennium and his prior band, the Ballroom. Disc three is all Millennium, featuring not only the Begin album, but the unreleased "Blight"/"Just About the Same" single that was added to the 1990 Begin reissue, and the single versions of "It's You," "I Just Want to Be Your Friend," "5 A.M.," "Prelude," "To Claudia on Thursday," and "There Is Nothing More to Say." Begin, very much a group project, although Boettcher was the most important member, remains an impressive pinnacle of sunshine psychedelic pop, though the chipper songs are not as substantial as the florid, multi-hued and multi-textured production and harmonies. Disc two has the original versions, as done by the Ballroom, of three songs that would be redone on the Millennium's Begin album ("5 A.M.," "Karmic Dream Sequence #1," "The Island"). There's lot's more on this anthology, though, including the scarce 1967 Warner Bros. single by the Ballroom that represented their ...

Long Hair In Three Stages
$9.25 Desmond Dekker is a popular reggae singer with a gentle voice that has captured the hearts of thousands of listeners, in particular for his song "Israelites" which is included among the tracks on this compilation.
Well, these 18 tracks are at least some of the best, compiling Desmond Dekker's best-known hits and a number of less-remembered gems. The album zigzags across the singer's career, from his early ska days to his heady rocksteady height to his arrival on the international scene as a reggae superstar. The sleeve notes provide an excellent pocket biography and help put many of the songs into proper perspective. ...

The good news was that it was a major effort: Cavaliere co-wrote all the songs, and the record was co-produced by Todd Rundgren. Cavaliere had an eclectic ability to mix rock with Latin and ...
