 (1 Customer Review)
The Allman Brothers closed out the '70s with a solid if unspectacular set that's aged better than one might have expected. It may not be particularly innovative, but it lacks nothing in the grit and sass departments.
The album begins ("Crazy Love") the way it ends ("Sail Away"), which is to say with two dive-bomb blasts of Dickie Betts' slide guitar. In between there's a nod to John Lee Hooker with "Can't Take It With You," the Chicago blues shuffle of "Need Your Love So Bad," and "Try It One More Time," a '60s style soul ballad. The most interesting piece here, however, is Betts' "Pegasus," a complex instrumental that opens in vaguely Latin mode, segues into some jazz-fusion passages, and concludes with a modal psychedelic jam that seems a homage to some of the San Francisco bands of the '60s.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

"Long distance" doesn't only mean annoying calls from MCI, Sprint, and AT&T marketers mangling your name. In the case of this sinewy New York trio, it's a tribute to perseverance. Riding high in 1998 with a wonderful sophomore LP, Apartment Life, and two fine songs in the hit film There's Something About Mary, the group suddenly found its momentum dashed. Dropped by not one, but two major labels, Ivy further suffered the near-crippling loss of its recording studio, as fireman hacked it to pieces fighting a bagel-shop blaze. Then two of its members became parents together, while the other found himself a critical smash with his other band, Fountains of Wayne. Had they a permanent drummer, doubtless he would have spontaneously combusted. And had Ivy surrendered, well, in words their Paris-born singer would understand, se la guerre.
But Ivy refused to go "down in flames," and Long Distance is a charming product of belief that wouldn't be deterred (hell, even when we first heard this LP last fall, it was only a Japanese import!). While retaining their streamlined, catchy pop and Dominique Durand's gorgeous cooing, they've doubled the textural foundation while also amping up the groove and swing. Not really a dance-music band, there's still an undeniable foot-shaking ...

Brooklyn's Behold... The Arctopus drop their Metal Blade full-length via Black Market Industries. The power trio, with its unusual instrumentation of drums, guitar, and Warr guitar (a 12-string instrument that offers, via the finger-tapping method, a full-stringed guitar and bass combined on the same neck), issued its first two EPs and a live set on Metal Blade in 2006, but in that regard, the band was still honing its sound. Here, it is fully fleshed, high-octane, all instrumental tech-prog metal with all the knottiness and timeshifts required. Certainly they are among the ranks of other acts that perform this super proficient music, like Psyopus and Dysrhythmia (Warr guitarist Colin Marston is a member) as well as Necrophagist and Meshuggah, but these cats take it a step further. Imagine the technical attack of early Voivod if Steve Vai or Mike Keneally had been their guitarist. There are no real riffs in this music -- more like long, intricate lines to be played off, one after another, with guitarist Mike Lerner leading the way, creating all of these labyrinthine patterns pummeled into overdrive by drummer Charlie Zeleny (who can play circles around any speed metal drummer anywhere and whose blastbeats are trademarks in themselves). Echoes of prog rock, jazz, and overdriven math rock are all present, but they don't add up to much until they are put through BTA's shredding blender in which everything comes off but the burrs.
Their control is admirable, as is their knowledge of where and how to ...
