While on its self-titled debut Storm & Stress made a legitimate (if somewhat smirking) attempt to fuse avant-rock and jazz, on their sophomore effort, UNDER THUNDER & FLUORESCENT LIGHTS, any semblance of form goes out the window in favor of a series of extended minimalist improvisations, supplemented with tape samples and (sporadic) vocals. Whether this amounts to noise or cerebral, incidental music is debatable; whatever the case, kudos are in order for the three-piece's audacity.
Recorded at Electrical Audio, Chicago, Illinois in June and July 1999.
Storm & Stress: Ian Williams (vocals, guitar); Erich Ehm (bass); Kevin Shea (drums, percussion, bells).
Additional personnel: Micah Gaugh (vocals); Dan Bodwell (bass); Jim Black (drums).
2nd Rel
Alternative Press (4/00, p.102) - 4 out of 5 - "...jokes without punchlines, beats without meters, notes without staffs, developments without points of closure....with this album [they've] become so good at provoking questions, that answers...well, they simply aren't the 'point'." Magnet (4-5/00, p.92) - "...Listening to [this LP] is a bit like trying to piece together the events of a violent space battle based upon the wreckage left in its wake....Music has been blown apart and shattered into countless pieces here, almost beyond recognition..." The Wire (3/00, p.58) - "...Oddly engaging, generating a bizarre internal logic from unlikely sources..." CMJ (1/24/00, pp.25-6) - "...noodly, experimental [and] warmly listenable...showing evidence of both heavy improv and ample tape manipulation....a testament to abstract minimalism that manages to give a few subtle nods to standard songwriting..." NME (Magazine) (2/14/00, p.43) - 7 out of 10 - "...luxuriates in the boundless possibilities of chaos theory....breaking right through...the boundaries of music. And subsequently, sometimes avoids making music at all....This is so far out [it's] panoramic."

Under Thunder And Fluorescent Lights music CDs
$12.19 On Aug. 21, 1935, the Benny Goodman Orchestra caused an incredible sensation at the Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles, marking the symbolic start of both the swing era and the clarinetist's quick rise to fame as the most popular big-band leader of the time. However, the music on this CD largely predates all that. From Dec. 1, 1934 to May 25, 1935, the struggling Benny Goodman big band appeared on a weekly series of Saturday night broadcasts over NBC as one of three orchestras, along with the dance music of Kel Murray and the Latin pop of Xavier Cugat. Goodman, who had spent the past five years primarily as a studio musician, was largely unknown to the general public. The music on the 1998 Circle CD, all previously unissued, is taken from Let's Dance broadcasts dating from February to May 1935. The selections are not in chronological order, nor are the airchecks issued in complete form (one wishes they were), but the 23 performances (three of which are incomplete) are all quite worthwhile and certainly ...
