| | Carmaig DeForest Death Groove Love Party CD Carmaig DeForest Discography of CDs
During the late '80s and early '90s when Carmaig DeForest didn't feel like working solo, the loosely assembled group of New York and West Coast musicians called Carmaig DeForest's Death Groove Love Party would serve as the songwriter's backing band. The outfit had many lineups that consistently served up a bed of swanky rock noise that blended nicely with DeForest's anarchic folk-punk. Recorded at various locations between 1988 and 1993, this 12-song semi-eponymous compilation is surprisingly cohesive. Death Groove Love Party is more traditionally arranged then many of the songwriter's ukulele-powered recordings and live performances. Reverberating guitars and pulsing drums fuel noisier moments like "Paula Walks" and "Million Dollar Bash," and a whiff of gritty urban country exudes nicely on the calmer moments of "Bend Down Low" and "One More Time," the latter echoing the strange folk/punk simplicity of DeForest admirers and touring mates the Violent Femmes. A true accomplishment, Death Groove Love Party showcases the lyricism and imagination of one of the great cult artists of the '80s and 90s with deft performances and all the appropriate abandon. ~ Vincent Jeffries

Death Groove Love Party songs
$10.89 Originally released on Glitterhouse in Europe in 1991 but only seeing an American issue two years later as Caroline took advantage of the band's newfound major-label status, Tab...25 for many remains the high point of Monster Magnet as extreme downer psych/space rock. For good reason as well, thanks to the over half-hour-long title track that takes up the bulk of the space on the disc. Finding a perfectly steady head-nodder of a groove that wouldn't sound out of place at all on a Loop album, say, and with extremely strung-out guitar soloing madness to boot, "Tab...25" sounds exactly like the nightmarish orange-eye image on the back cover looks: weird, alien, and not quite in control of itself. Dave Wyndorf's singing consists mostly of the occasional wordless wail and slurred vocal, often treated with as much delay and flanging as the guitars themselves, though his one spoken-word break, however slightly inaudible, provides a bit of a rock to cling to amid the slow-grind chaos. Even more feedback and noise gets added as it goes, and while for some listeners patience will be tested, as a massive epic it just can't be beaten. Topping that is impossible, so wisely the group doesn't try, but the other two cuts also do the business in their own ways. "Longhair" is 12 minutes long, but rather than stonily zoning out, the band's rhythm section fires up and rips along, occasional breakdowns for breath aside, while the guitarists whip out some great, blunt playing that Hawkwind could be proud of. Wyndorf's singing is distorted on the verses to sound like bubbling molten lava come to life, while the instrumental conclusion slows down just a touch to concentrate on more almighty riffs before one last explosion. The brief "Lord 13" is much calmer in comparison, though still shot through with a tribal electric psych intensity that's worth hearing. ~ Ned Raggett
