Recorded live from March-June 1999 and at Neverland Studio, Marin County, California in October 1999. Includes liner notes by Steve Smith.
Despite the neo-classicism in jazz of the '80s and '90s, fusion (more correctly electric jazz) is still a hit among rabid fans of Vital Information around the world. This live two-disc set is a spectacular document of the group that originally started as drummer Steve Smith's side project while he was still a member of Journey. As this collection well illustrates, Vital Information has become a bastion of powerful contemporary jazz.
Recorded during its 1998-99 tour in support of the equally exciting WHERE WE COME FROM, this set finds the quartet expanding upon the group concept it began exploring on its previous studio efforts. Although the chops often fly with wild abandon, it is evident that the group has meshed into a firm unit capable of great swathes of expression, a mammoth dynamic range, and a deeply funky groove. Smith is the star, of course, capable of frenzied solos and complex time signature grooves that defy the laws of mathematics.

 $13.89  
This tenth recording from the now legendary quartet reminds listeners that, while smooth jazz often gets better press, there are still fans of honest to God inventive electric fusion who will eat up this type of powerfully rocking and energetic project. Bassist Baron Browne joined the core trio of Steve Smith (drums), Frank Gambale (guitar), and Tom Coster (keyboards) in 1998, and provides a rollicking bouncy energy throughout on tunes like the feisty Herbie Hancock ode ...

| | Jethro Tull Songs From The Wood CD (1977) Remastered
Live Around The World: Where We Come From Tour 1998-1999 album
$9.99 
In terms of rustic, tights-wearing, elf-loving, flute-heavy, British/Celtic folk-tinged '70s prog-rock, SONGS FROM THE WOOD is the most Tull of all Jethro Tull albums. By 1977 the band had ventured far enough from its heavy blues-rock beginnings to create a completely unique, idiosyncratic sound, filled with European folk mythology, rural imagery and an endearing combination of art-rock and British folk-rock. Elaborate synthesizer fanfares mix with delicate acoustic guitar tapestries, complex arrangements and odd time signatures. SONGS FROM THE WOOD strikes the perfect balance between the proggie ambition of THICK AS A BRICK, the storytelling style of AQUALUNG and the courtly, medieval air of MINSTREL IN THE GALLERY.
This album, which seemed so soft and lyrical in its original CD incarnation, ...

| | Betty Blowtorch Last Call: Memorial Rarities Collection CD (2003)
Live Around The World: Where We Come From Tour 1998-1999 songs
$9.79
One of L.A.'s much-loved metal acts, Betty Blowtorch, came to a tragic end in late 2001 when frontwoman/bass player Bianca Butthole was killed in a high-speed car accident. Last Call is a rock-solid tribute to Butthole and the band, and a great look at one of the scene's rising stars. Betty Blowtorch was one of those bands that never cared to apologize or soften their crass professionalism. They were as nasty as they wanted to be and ten times more. Alongside Butthole was Blare N. Bitch, Judy Molish, and Sharon Needles, and together they composed some of the edgiest punk-inspired grit since L7. Last Call captures such raw appeal; offering live cuts, demos and interview snippets as well as favorites from Betty Blowtorch's Get Off EP and debut full-length Are You Man Enough?. They weren't serious songwriters, but they were wild live players and the rowdy explosions of "Rock My World" and "Size Queen" will more than convince you. Several Butt Trumpet standouts such as "Teenage Whore" and "I've Been So Mad Lately" are added goodies, but spoofing on Ethan Hawke, Johnny Depp, and not being so ladylike ("Changing Underwear"), showcases Betty Blowtorch's unique humor. They wrote about what they knew, and what they knew. . . and lived for, was life on the road, drinking, having sex, and playing crazy rock & roll. Last Call toasts Butthole's contribution to the SoCal scene, making for a touching homage to a hot metal band ...
