Bad Timing Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars A must-have
Do whatever you can to obtain a copy of this often next-to-impossible-to-find album, at virtually any price. It'll go into the top-five-or-six section of your collection immediately. Perceptive, thoughtful, original, evocative, and imaginative, it's modern music at its best.

5 stars Simply stunning
This album is a must have for any fan of music. It's deceptively simple in parts and deceptively complex in others, but all blends together perfectly. Fingerpicked guitar, lap steel, the occasional brass instrument, and even some drumming provided by John McEntire of Tortoise. It's beautiful and timeless and if you don't own it, you don't know what you're missing.

Tortoise TNT CD (1998)

Bad Timing album

$12.95

All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. Electronics permeate all twelve tracks here, adding textural shadings that seemed like foreign turf for the band when it first came together as an all-star crew of Chicago indie multi-instrumentalists in the early '90s. Cluster, Mouse On Mars and drum 'n' bass now hold equal footing on Tortoise's soundstage, beautifying the ...

$12.89

You'll have to be a pretty major Swell Maps fan to make heads or tails, at a glance, out of which songs on this 19-track compilation you may already have. It's all over the Swell map, including four songs that have never been on CD [including "Dresden Style (City Boys)," which was on a single]; three that have never been released anywhere; three "unreleased mixes"; and a few songs that appeared on U.K. singles ("Let's Build a Car," "Real Shocks," "Read About Seymour"). ...

Dusty Springfield Ultimate Silver Collection CD (1998) Australia

Bad Timing music CDs

$23.29

The Silver Collection is a selection of 24 Dusty Springfield tracks recorded between 1963 and 1970. It contains all ten of her Top Ten singles from the '60s, including her biggest smash "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" from 1966, as well as "Son of a Preacher Man," from 1969 off the Dusty in Memphis record; her first single, ("I Only Want to be With You"); and "Brand New Me," from 1970. The recordings here are not grouped chronologically, giving the set a kind of untrackable feel, but on repeated listening, making perfect sense. There are the Bacharach/David songs written especially for her such as "Wishin' and Hopin,'" "24 Hours From Tulsa," "I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself," ...

Shiner Egg CD (2001)

Bad Timing album

$11.45

Shiner's The Egg is the sound of a band stretching itself between the opposite poles of melody and complexity, accessibility and nebulousness, and coming up with something entirely original and unheard of in the process. It's a concept album in the best sense of the word: It doesn't have a cheesy central theme per se, like disillusioned robots or mythical dragons, but it feels as if every song fits into one expansive puzzle, like the album already existed, just waiting for its creators to capture it on tape. Kansas City, MO's Shiner has long been at work in the underground rock trenches spreading the word of its angular, math-y post-rock. Since 1993, the band toured the nation tirelessly and put out three acclaimed full-lengths on independent labels, not to mention enduring several lineup changes. The Egg, however, feels like the album they have been waiting to make. For its fourth release, the group has finally solidified to include Allen Epley (vocals, guitar), Paul Malinowski (bass, backing vocals), Jason Gerken (drums), and Josh Newton (guitars, keyboards, noises). The members' talents mesh together so well, it seems impossible that this is their first complete album together. It doesn't hurt that indie super-producer J. Robbins climbed aboard either; his crisp, lucid sound creates a tug of war with Shiner's natural tendencies to go dark and murky. The constant ebb and flow between sonic radiance and shadow permeate the entire disc. The songs themselves bask in an epic splendor, replete with the kind of arrangements that reward repeat listenings. "The Truth About Cows" melds big rock verses with a minor chorus and Gerken's machine gun drumming, while "Surgery" juxtaposes Malinowski's trudging bass ...
