Full performer name: Terry Bozzio/Tony Levin/Steve Stevens.
Personnel: Terry Bozzio (drums); Tony Levin (bass, stick); Steve Stevens (guitar).
Producers: Terry Bozzio, Tony Levin, Steve Stevens, Wyn Davis.
Recorded at Clear Lake Studios, North Hollywood, California from January 27-30, 1997. Includes liner notes by Terry Bozzio.
This power trio has famous roots, and they've brought it all together masterfully. First cut "The Sun Road" starts off like a tune off of David Gilmour's first solo album and then vanishes into a driving, power-chorded surge of soulful rock. Next, "Dark Corners" is a massive rocker that pulls you under its powerful whirlpool of guitar/bass/drum frenzy. Stevens tortures the guitar into absolute submission without any predictable riffs. Levin looms everywhere, and Bozzio flows in a polyrhythmic jungle. Fine interactive tension and execution everywhere. This goes way beyond King Crimson's Red days.
"Duende" opens with flamenco guitar firebursts, and slowly builds into a decent Spanish-flavored piece. Not my favorite, but well done. The title cut, "Black Light Syndrome," is obviously a play on "Bozzio Levin Stevens." It is a slower-paced dirge and filled to the brim with a variety of well-executed riffs, basslines, and drum tech.
"Falling in Circles" is an early Floydscape dotted with Ronnie Montrose leads, a ballad of driving determination and resolve. Floods of Satriani, Wishbone Ash, Alvin Lee, Fripp, Buck Dharma, and even that Duane Allman tone.
"Book of Hours" took me right back to Wheels of Fire's "Pressed Rat and Warthog," rainy-day dreamy afternoons with a fresh pot of designer coffee. Levin, Bozzio, and Stevens play off of one another precisely as one mind.
On the last cut, "Chaos/Control," you hear that "E7 breakdown" from Hendrix's "Midnight" on War Heroes, and then a jazzy boogie in classic Frank Marino style is laid down. Stevens is a guitarist with a wide range of dynamics. ~ John W. PattersonMusician (11/97, p.90) - "...it's up front and brash as you get....Like all musicians in an improvisational setting, Bozzio, Levin, and Stevens draw freely from what they've played in the past. It just so happens that these three fellows have played with...Crimson, Zappa and Billy Idol..."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The Universal Language: Music
After listening to BLS, it grew on me immediately...if you are into Crimsonesque music and you enjoy unusual music, soft or hard...this is a must! Those who enjoy acoustice or hard rock guitar, this is the album. I beleive that the combination of these talented musicians to improvise on nothing but their individual musical experiences has created a new genere in music.
This is the type of album in which you would sit down (alone or with friends) and just tune your brainwaves into it.
You will not be sorry you purchased this album, I guarantee that!

The interplay between Stevens and Bozzio is…spectacular! Too bad Levin plops down so much ill-defined sludge on the bottom --- his bass lines simply don’t work, and his chops are no match for the speed/virtuosity of Terry and Steve. In the future it would be awesome to hear someone like Dave LaRue laying down the bass line with these guys!

All I have to say is, how did 3 of some of the best musicians come together and end up with such a masterpiece? Truly one of the best rock albums you'll ever buy.

"The Marlowes are a five-piece rock & roll/power pop band from Providence, Rhode Island: John Larson: vocals, guitar - Keith Larson: bass - Justin Capaldi: guitars - Dave Richardson: lead guitar - John DiGiulio: drumsThe Marlowes return to the world of hi-fi recording with their latest full-length CD, Glue, Glitter and Shine. The new opus contains 13-tracks of the band's signature powerpoprootsandroll sound with a few surprises thrown in to keep things from being too easily pigeonholed. Among the biggest surprise is the inclusion of Rock & Roll vocal legends, Little Anthony and the Imperials ("Hurt So Bad," "Tears on my Pillow," "I Think I'm Going Out Of My Head,"), lending their formidable singing talents to the soulful track "Grace Note." Another guest of note is violinist and Les Paul sideman, Christian Howes, contributing the strings on "Mannequin with the See-Through Skin." Other highlights of the disc include the infectious "Lower 48," rave-ups "I Liked You Better When You Were Someone Else" and "Alicia Futurama," as well as the pensive "Next Last Waltz."The Marlowes' fourth full-length disc, Sugarbursts and Thunderbolts, was released in late 2002 on Shiny Fly Records. The CD featured the tracks "If You Wouldn't Mind," "In Spite of Everything" and the first single and lead-off track, "Because of a Girl," which was added to the playlists of college and commercial stations throughout the world.The Marlowes' 2000 album, Nuclear Suitcase, made several critic's "Best Of the Year" lists, received a glowing review in Rolling Stone (Germany) and was voted by the listener's of Spain's influential TELEMADRID RADIO 101.3 / 106 F.M as the best indie album of that year. After recording their debut 7" single, "Shanghaied" b/w "Wink," on Silent Wing Records in late 1994, the band released their first full-length CD, Andrea's Sidewalk on Red Eye Records in November of 1995. The album's accessible, melodically-charged tunes enabled the Marlowes to receive their first significant national exposure via radio, touring and mounds of favorable press. The band's next release, 1998's Same Dog Barks, was also blessed with enthusiastic reviews and sales - garnering spots on a few end-of-year Top Ten lists as well as significant airplay in France, Brazil, Japan, Australia and Spain. The Marlowes also played at the influential International Pop Overthrow Festival (IPO) in Los Angeles in August of 1998 at the storied El Rey Theater on a bill that included Velvet Crush, the Tories and John Faye of the Caulfields. They have since played IPOs in New York City and Boston.The Marlowes have also contributed to quite a few domestic and international compilation CDs. ...
| | Utah Phillips Starlight On The Rails: A Songbook CDs (2005) Box Set
Black Light Syndrome
$50.65
Utah Phillips has crafted a fascinating show out of his life. In the course of seventy years he has labored as a dishwasher, archivist, printer, and warehouseman; soldiered in the Korean War; lived as a tramp (he is still a Grand Duke of Hoboes), and for the past 36 years made his way telling stories and singing songs. He has the wit, humor, bite, and intelligence of a Mark Twain or a Will Rogers, and behind his "Everyman" appearance is a consummate artist. Peppered with one-liners and offhand philosophical commentary, Utah's revealing stories, about such spirited American characters as Charley Goodnight, Mother Jones, and Idaho Blackie, tell our true history and connect us to American traditions that are genuinely ours.Utah Phillips is described as "a national treasure, a writer of haunting songs, a storyteller of hilarious presence and subtle depth, a union organizer, historian and scholar, a Celtic-Yiddish bard, a Pleistocene bon vivant, a post-modern ne'er-do-well, and a heck of an engineer." A 40-year member of the Industrial Workers of the World, he is the most entertaining labor troubadour of our time, leading his audience on an emotional rollercoaster with side-splitting storytelling and fire-breathing working class songs. According to one reviewer, "Phillips exemplifies some of the traits which Americans most value: an open and inquisitive mind, a daring heart, and a sharp but humorous tongue." The Boston Globe said, "Phillips above all is a consummate showman, a master ...
