Blend album
 $8.99 
The Herbaliser released their sophomore effort in 1997, expanding their already nimble sampling of old funk/jazz records, for a cool, well-paced, and tasteful collection of tracks. With the aid of New York rapper Jean Grae (billed as What What) on ...
| | It Bites Eat Me In St Louis CD (1989) (Import) United Kingdom
Blend CD music
$11.79
Possibly the first of the new-styled progressive rock bands, It Bites made an impression with musicians throughout both the prog and metal/hard rock schools of music. This album, their final release, was a collection of both previously released and new material. The disc shows that they truly were one of the first bands to successfully merge progressive rock with a more pop-oriented mode. The Roger Dean cover surely pulled a lot of Yes fans into buying the disc. The music really is sort of a more modern rock take on classic prog bands like Yes and Genesis. The band was composed of Francis Dunnery, Dick Nolan, Bob Dalton, and John Beck. In retrospect, the sound can come off as a bit dated, but there is still plenty here to make the album listenable. The disc probably appeals to musicians more than non-musicians, but is an all-around solid, if not great, listen. ~ Gary Hill
Unavailable in the U.S.! The original 1989 British release of It Bites' third and final studio album finds the band maturing and rocking a little harder than their past efforts. Fronted by singer/guitarist Francis Dunnery, ...
| | Ciao! The Best Of Lush CD (2001)
Blend music CDs
$13.45  
In what could have been a means to deflect a slow release schedule, 4AD started rolling out compilations of some of their deep catalog bands in 2000 and 2001. The Cocteau Twins were first, followed by Heidi Berry and Modern English. In early 2001, 4AD released Ciao! 1989-1996, a collection of Lush's finest moments. Evenly taking four to five songs from each of the band's three proper studio records and their early EPs compilation (Gala), Ciao is a decent summary of the band's eight-year existence, collecting most of their singles, several album cuts, and one of their better B-sides (a cover of the Gist's "Love at First Sight"). The tracks run in reverse chronology, starting with the confident, no frills, straight-ahead pop of "Ladykillers" and ending with the wispy haze of "Etheriel." Pop songs were always at the heart of Lush's songs, but the distortion, buried vocals, and general trickery gradually weathered away with each of their successive releases. So listening to Ciao uninterrupted plays like a photograph slowly going out of focus. A longtime fan's general preference might find a bone or two to pick with the selection, but that's always a hazard in picking a portable introduction. Those who go on to check out the band's studio albums on the strength of Ciao will be happy to discover several strong songs, so Ciao hardly drains the pool. Reeling in a newbie shouldn't be too difficult. Lush seemingly had a couple fine records left in them when drummer Chris Acland took his life, but one listen to Ciao paints a complete picture. ~ Andy Kellman

| | Telepopmusik Genetic World CD (2002)
Blend songs
$11.69
"Breathe" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
Telepopmusik consists of three French multi-instrumentalists and programmers, Stephan Haeri, Christophe Hetier, and Fabrice Dumont, who create atmospheric, chill-out pop music incorporating odd sound-bites, random raps, and often featuring sultry female vocals, mostly by the Wild Colonials' Angela McCluskey. While similar to Air and Zero 7 on first listen, there's more experimentalism, something a bit duskier about their music. Telepopmusik's sound is almost as if a boozed-up 1950s jazz-standards combo was asked to collaborate with Kraftwerk and Serge Gainsbourg in the seediest of late-night bars.
The title track from GENETIC WORLD breaks down the phrase until it's indecipherable and layers it over an '80s sci-fi movie ...
| | Interpol Turn On The Bright Lights CD (2002)
Blend album
$9.95 
To make music marked distinctly of a specific period that's somehow so compelling as to be timeless is no mean feat. Interpol initially sounds as if they must have been roaming about Manchester as the 1970s screamed to a close, yet they emerged across the ocean in New York City some two decades-plus later. Combining the insistent drone of Joy Division with the dreamy melodies of the Chameleons, the fire of Mission of Burma, and an occasional jagged edge a la The Fall, the foursome inconceivably manage to defy anachronism on their debut full-length TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS. Just how they do it is indefinable, perhaps it's just a trick of the light, or the life that breathes gloomily, radiantly throughout, but it's undeniable.
Vocals which fall somewhere between Ian Curtis's plaintive, edge-of-oblivion wail and the winking, laconic drawl of James's Tim Booth, ripping uncompromisingly through unpredictable, unforgettable lamentations from the reflective ("NYC") to the imploring ("PDA"). When the darkly etched, ...
| | Frou Frou Details CD (2002)
Blend CD music
$11.99 
What do you get when you combine a producer/electronics whiz who's worked with Madonna, Bjork, and Seal, and a distinctive, charming female singer? Judging from the results of Frou Frou's debut album details, you get a duo capable of combining complex, arresting sonic vistas with very organic, intimate vocals to fine effect. From the dreamy, hypnotic quality of the opening track "Let Go" to the airy, Beth Orton-like "Hear Me Out," Guy Sigsworth consistently manages to find just the right setting for Imogen Heap's up-close vocal style. Whether ...

Blend songs
$13.89
For a basic guitar-bass-drums trio, Gay Dad spices up its music with plenty of alluring extras on TRANSMISSION. While the focus of the band's sound is guitar-based Britpop, they add (with the help of producer Ben Chapman) plenty of zippy synth lines and electronic effects that not only fill out the sound but expand it to reach a level beyond that of their ostensible peers. Nevertheless, TRANSMISSION isn't exactly DIG YOUR OWN HOLE; rippling acoustic and bold electric guitars abound, framing ringing vocal harmonies and a bevy of catchy choruses. Most of the album is given over to driving (and driven) rockers, but Gay Dad still finds time for the occasional balladic detour, ...
| | Bruce Cockburn CD (1982)
Blend album
$13.15
Originally released only in Canada, this compilation was also an attractive buy for those who had all Cockburn's releases, as four previously unavailable songs were also included. The previously released older tracks mostly hail from the early- to mid-'70s era of his career and are a good representation of his talents. Two of the previously unreleased songs were also recorded then (in 1976) and deal, respectively, with the Native American in today's society ("Red Brother Red Sister") and Cockburn's conversion to Christianity ("Dweller by a Dark Stream"). The other two new songs are the searing "Loner" (a different version than the one released on Inner City Front) and "The Coldest Night of the Year," a relatively bouncy song about loneliness. ~ Rob Caldwell
Bruce Cockburn's self-titled debut's blend of diversity, enthusiasm, and innocence never quite resurfaced again in his work, especially in his more clinical, politically inclined tracts of later decades. The opening number, "Going to the Country," still evokes that hippie-esque, back-to-the-earth movement as well as any song ever recorded, complete with a sly wink that keeps it fresh to this day. And since this was 1970, the album also comes equipped with some of those quaint excesses of the period; try the nasal tone poem gracing "The Bicycle Trip." "Musical Friends" remains a lively, happy-go-lucky ...

| | Bone Brothers CD (2005)
Blend music CDs
$14.65 
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony came straight out of Cleveland, Ohio in the early 1990s, capturing the ears of Eazy-E, and, subsequently, the rest of the country, with its then-unique blend of hardcore rap and harmonized vocals. After fading into the background for awhile, the Bone clan returned prominently in early 2005. THE BONE BROTHERS, a collaboration between Bizzy Bone and Layzie Bone, follows close on the heels of a strong solo effort by Krayzie Bone, as well as a retrospective of Bone Thugs' career, and features appearances by all four free Bones (with Flesh-N-Bone in jail).
