| | Cubanate Interference CD Cubanate Discography of CDs
Cubanate vocalist/songwriter Marc Heal made a conscious effort on Interference to improve the intelligence in their lyrics, and he pulls no punches as he talks about real-life situations he was personally involved in. And while the band gained attention and popularity with their industrial-rock earlier albums (1993's Antimatter, 1995's Cyberia, and 1996's Barbarossa), Cubanate have broadened their range a bit, taking more chances with their music, and rhythms in particular. The group can still create a massive wall of electronic sound, as heard on the huge "Isolation," or tunes that hit you directly in the gut (the album opener "IT"). The last song recorded for Interference, "IT" became a frustrated rant when Heal couldn't come up with conventional lyrics, all recorded off the top of his head, in one take. And another track, "Voids," was written about the group's last American tour, when Heal began feeling paranoid after combining endless hotel room nights with alcohol. The group has also tried their hand at writing music for video games, the album track "Airport Bar" will appear on the home vid Wing Commander 5 -- Prophecy. ~ Greg Prato

CMJ (1/11/99, p.9) - "...Fusing demonic, nightmarish vocals with searing guitar riffs, dense techno programming and fierce drum 'n' bass rhythms, the band exorcised the spirit of hard-edged electronic music from its worn, weary grave and sealed it in a tough sonic vessel..."

| | Mr Bungle California CD (1999)
Interference songs
$9.15
With CALIFORNIA, Mr. Bungle has largely ditched its infamous jazz/thrash/circus sound (especially evident on the group's first album) for an even more varied cinematic aesthetic that both embraces and gleefully subverts traditional pop structures. Simply put, this is probably as accessible as Bungle is bound to get, and the results are amazing in both their inventiveness and scope. (As stated in the album's tongue-in-cheek press release, CALIFORNIA shows "evidence of a rock band pretending to have roots in rock music.")
Opening with the lounge-laced "Sweet Charity," the album soon shifts to the sci-fi rockabilly/swing stylings of "None of Them Knew They Were Robots" and then to the crooning melodic pop of "Retrovertigo." On other dynamic compositions such as "The Air-Conditioned Nightmare" and "Goodbye Sober Day," Bungle's quick-change genre-hopping ...

L.A.'s Pistol Grip makes a lasting impression on The Shots From the Kalico Rose, firing off one of 2001's finest authentic punk releases. "Crucifixion Politix" rolls out of the speakers like a bar fight spilling out onto the sidewalk, with blazing guitars that rival vintage Rancid. Vocalist Stax takes aim at religious and political hypocrisy as his bandmates stir up a melodic but incendiary Ruts and Stiff Little ...
| | Cosmic Rough Riders Too Close To See Far CD (2003) (Import) Bonus Track; Japan
Interference album
$40.75
TOO CLOSE TO SEE FAR is a 2003 release by Scottish country-rockers the Cosmic Rough Riders.
Despite accolades for the Cosmic Rough Riders' masterful 2000 debut, Enjoy the Melodic Sunshine, the band's vocalist and principal songwriter, Daniel Wylie, exited the Glasgow outfit, leaving the remaining members with the difficult task of crafting a suitable follow-up. If hopes were low, the harmony-laden Too Close to See Far well exceeds expectations to become not just a respectable follow-up, but a delightful album you'll be drawn to again and again. Guitarist Stephen Fleming sounds at ease with his promotion to frontman on tuneful, harmony-laden numbers like "Justify the Rain" and "For a Smile," that -- like the first single, "Because of You" -- pay homage to fellow Scots Teenage Fanclub. Like TFC, there are elements of the "B" bands (the Byrds, Big Star, and the Beach Boys) on most of the tracks here. At times, Fleming's pipes can sound anonymous, making "Kill the Time" and "Life in Wartime" sound like they could be segments of the same song, but in large part CRR triumphs. They're obviously not the band they once were, but with real gumption and the previously unheard, introspective direction of "Tomorrow May Never Come" to build on, the Cosmics are here to stay. ~ John D.
