| | Felt Ignite The Seven Cannon/The Strange CD - Import Felt Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
This collection contains the third and fourth Felt albums, THE STRANGE IDOLS PATTERN AND OTHER SHORT STORIES and IGNITE THE SEVEN CANNONS. Whereas their first two albums featured more meandering tracks, these albums feature songs that are more terse, though still with very elaborate arrangements. Standouts from STRANGE IDOLS include "Sunlight Bathed the Golden Glow," a cheerfully bitter character study featuring gorgeously jangling guitars, the oddly catchy "Dismantled King is Off the Throne," in which Lawrence's droll delivery is nicely offset by up tempo drumming, and "Whirlpool Vision of Shame," which features Maurice Deebank's complex guitar lines darting around the vocals. Produced by the Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie, IGNITE includes Felt's most well-known track, "Primitive Painters," a glittering masterpiece featuring astonishing backing vocals from the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser along with some of Lawrence's more impassioned vocals, Gary Ainge's expressive drumming. Other standouts include the beautiful instrumental "Serpent Shade," highlighting Martin Duffy's keyboards, and "Southern State Tapestry," which returns the focus to the interplay between Deebank and Lawrence's guitars. Felt collectors should note that the reissued version of this collection, though it sequences the albums chronologically (unlike the original CD), it inexplicably omits the "Crucifix Heaven," a spectacular Spanish-guitar influenced instrumental.
2003 reissue of Felt's fourth album that's unavailable domestically. Originally issued in 1985, it includes the indie #1 'Primitive Painters' (a collaboration with Cocteau Twins) & it's packaged in a limited cardboard sleeve. Cherry Red.Q (11/03, p.131) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Lawrence and co-writer/lead guitarist Maurice Deebank sustained tingling melodies throughout and Cocteau Twins singer Liz Fraser elevates 'Primitive Painters' to one of the decade's standout singles..."

The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening ...

Ignite The Seven Cannon/The Strange
$11.99
On his first record since his Oscar nomination courtesy director Gus Van Zandt's use of his music in the film "Good Will Hunting," Elliott Smith returns with another album's worth of gorgeous misery. Like Nick Drake before him, Smith has the ability to conjure beautifully poignant pathos, wrapping it in an elaborately arranged package worthy ...
| | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
Ignite The Seven Cannon/The Strange
$12.05
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems ...
| | Elliott Smith From A Basement On The Hill CD (2004)
Ignite The Seven Cannon/The Strange
$14.49
Elliott Smith's death in 2003 left a cavernous hole in the world of popular music. Tender, intimate, and painfully honest, the songs in Smith's catalogue capture the fragility of human existence with rare, breathtaking beauty. On his first posthumous release, Smith reaffirms his status as an extraordinarily gifted artist, giving fans yet another reason to mourn his tragic loss.
Conceived as an ambitious double album, FROM A BASEMENT ON THE HILL was ultimately narrowed down to 15 tracks by Smith's ...

While the instrumental alliances that take place throughout Recycled aren't nearly as solid as on Journey to the Center of the Eye or Remember the Future, the album still harbors some of Nektar's intergalactic progressive rock penchants, although a slight decline in the band's cohesion is apparent. Guitarist Roy Albrighton lacks his usual gusto on most of the tracks, but tends to show signs ...
| | Vivian Stanshall Teddy Boys Don't Knit CD (1981) (Import) United Kingdom
Ignite The Seven Cannon/The Strange
$11.79
Early eighties re-release from the notable English eccentric and 60s icon; includes "King Kripple" and "Gums." 2004, U.K. import.
Teddy Boys is often derided even by some of Viv Stanshall's most loyal fans for possessing neither the depth of Men Opening Umbrellas Ahead nor the hilarious wordplay of Sir Henry at Rawlinson End. Yet while there may be some truth in both claims, it can still be enjoyed as the closest Stanshall ever came to reinvoking the unique essence of the Bonzo Dog Band. Certainly it is infinitely preferable to the Bonzos' actual efforts at reunion -- the lamentable Let's Make Up and Be Friendly from 1971, or 1992's execrable single "No Matter Who You Vote for the Government Always Gets In." Close scrutiny of the credits reveals that, in fact, Neil Innes and Roger Ruskin Spear helped out on several tracks (along with the mighty Richard Thompson on guitar). Approached in this spirit, though Teddy Boys Don't Knit may not match The Doughnuts in Granny's Greenhouse in terms of sheer comic genius and melodic invention, it is still an album to treasure by one of the great unregarded geniuses of ...
