| | Joey Beltram Close Grind CD Joey Beltram Discography of CDs
Along with the previous year's Places, Close Grind reaffirmed Joey Beltram's standing at the head of the headstrong pack; it's a strong collection of minimalist grooves and off-kilter rhythms overlaid with acid noise, and it sounds quite original. ~ Steve HueySpin (2/97, p.91) - "...practically every song establishes a basic keyboard pattern...then repeats it, ad infinitum, within a tight thud beat....You either trance out or flip your wig..."

| | U2 No Line On The Horizon CD (2009)
Close Grind songs
$10.49 
There's no shortage of legendary producers in line to work with music world titans U2; when work with Rick Rubin broke off, Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois stepped in. The resulting NO LINE ON THE HORIZON, 2009's offering from the Irish rockers, continues in the grand U2 tradition, as soaring pop anthems like opening single "Get on Your Boots" pair with experimental melanges like "Tripoli," on a striking album featuring touches of all the albums come before, yet hinting at new worlds for Bono to conquer.
After spending the 1990s experimenting with electronic music and returning to arena-ready rock during the first few years of the 21st century, U2 stakes out territory somewhere between those two points on 2009's NO LINE ON THE HORIZON. Enlisting its go-to production trio of Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Steve Lillywhite, the Irish quartet seems intent on crafting a quirkier companion piece to HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB, and they succeed with restless tracks such as "Get on Your Boots," which sounds like "Vertigo" hijacked by T. Rex, and "Stand Up Comedy," a wiry number that lets the Edge cut loose with barbed guitar lines. Some of most striking songs on HORIZON are the ones that venture farthest from U2's comfort zone, as on the surprisingly weighty title track, ...

Although this 29-song compilation was the best Lords CD to have hit the market at the time of its release in 2001, it's not without its demerits. The Lords' best period by far was 1964-1966, and although the first half of this disc covers highlights of that time reasonably well, there's a fair bit of tough-to-bear rock & roll-cum-German drinking oom-pah music in the 1967-1969 portion. Still, among the early stuff are some fine (if eccentric), heavily accented covers of both rock & roll tunes and rocked-up folk and pop standards. The 1966 singles "What They Gonna Do" and "Don't Mince Matter" highlighted their too-infrequent forays into tough original British mod-influenced rock, and are as good as almost anything on the internationally minded Nuggets II box set (which, inexplicably, has nothing by the Lords). And as hard as it is to admit for those put off by crummy later drinkalong singles like "Have a Drink on Me," "John Brown's Body," and "Gloryland" (all on this disc, unfortunately), the Lords did cut some good stuff in the late '60s that's included here. "Rain Dreams" is outstanding Who-derived mod rock; "Fire" is cool, if weird, disquieting horn rock-psychedelia; "The World Is Falling Down" is a nearly demented slice of upbeat pop-psych with mordant lyrics; and poppier tunes like "Gypsy Boy" and "And at Night" have their good points. As for the rarities mentioned in the title, there are Italian versions of "Greensleeves" (with a flatulently produced backing track different, and inferior, to that on the English-sung original) and "Gloryland," neither of them exactly essential listening, though the "Five or Six" Pepsi commercial from 1969 (based around the riff from Mel Tormé's "Comin' Home Baby") is quite hip. Nonetheless, this does omit numerous worthwhile early B-sides (the exclusion of "No One Knows," one of their very best mod-ish outings , particularly hurts) and LP tracks; there's certainly room for a more thorough retrospective of the band's early years, if Bear Family or someone else is up for it. Incidentally, this album might ...

Boasting the fermented wit of producer/multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Jason Hill and the sneering vocals of Brian Karscig, this California outfit excels at dirty, punky glam, served with no chaser. "Louis XIV" and "Finding Out True Love Is Blind" pay homage to everyone that ever sweated until their makeup ran down their face, then fell off the stage in 12-inch platform boots (Marc Bolan & T. Rex, David Bowie, Mott the Hoople, et al). Most of Louis XIV's saucy debut EP, ILLEGAL TENDER, gets sewn into this long-player's ...

At ten tracks, the Australian 2006 release Collections is indeed skimpy, but it does deliver five of the band's biggest hits -- "Hold the Line," "Rosanna," "Africa," "Georgy Porgy," and "99" -- and a good cross-section of album tracks, making it a worthwhile choice for shoppers on a budget, provided it can be found at a budget price. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Six out of the ten tracks that make up Toto's Super Hits collection made Top 40 appearances, making for a relatively inexpensive way to obtain the band's most familiar singles. "Hold the Line," "Africa," "Rosanna," and "99" speak for Toto's earliest and most impressive years, while later hits like "I'll Be Over You" and "Without Your Love" represent some of the group's best mid-'80s ...
