Motörhead: Lemmy Kilmister (vocals, bass guitar); "Fast" Eddie Clarke (guitar); Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor (drums, percussion).
One of a trifecta of classic Motorhead albums featuring the group's penultimate lineup of Lemmy (bass/vocals), Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor (drums), and "Fast" Eddie Clarke (guitar), BOMBER (the other two being OVERKILL and ACE OF SPADES) is as loud, fast, raw, and heavy as music gets. The title track and the opener, "Dead Men Tell No Tales," remain two of the group's all-time definitive tracks, both showcasing Lemmy's patented hoarse growl and distorted bass riffing to spine-tingling and head-banging effect.
Recorded in late summer 1979 and released by the end of the year, Bomber quickly followed up Overkill, Motörhead's landmark breakthrough album from earlier in the year. Bomber bears a lot in common with its fan-favorite predecessor. For starters, it features the classic Motörhead lineup: Lemmy (bass and vocals), "Fast" Eddie Clarke (guitar), and "Philthy Animal" Taylor (drums). Also like Overkill, Bomber features the production grace of Jimmy Miller, the man responsible for the Rolling Stones' late-'60s/early-'70s albums, including such masterpieces as Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main St. And the music here on Bomber explodes on song after song, thanks to the crazed performances of the aforementioned bandmembers as well as the well-overdriven, ear-rattling production perfection of Miller. Actually, there's only one marked difference between Overkill and Bomber that's worth noting: the songs. There are a couple killers here, namely "Dead Men Tell No Tales," "Stone Dead Forever," and "Bomber," but overall, the songs of Bomber aren't as strong as those of Overkill were. Granted, this is somewhat of a moot point to raise, as Bomber is still a top-shelf Motörhead album, one of their all-time best, without question. But it does fall just a notch or two below Overkill and Ace of Spades, the latter of which would follow a year later and catapult the band to further acclaim. Bomber kicks ass, in any event, and its best moments are as superlative as any Motörhead would ever record. The band was really on fire during this point in time and could seemingly do no wrong. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Originally released in 1979,this was Motorhead's second album.Basically,another serving of top-of-the-heap British prime 'metal-punk' as some might call it.Heck,I call it great heavy metal.No mater,'Bomber' is a great choice to add to your CD collection.This reissue has added five bonus tracks to lure you to purchase a copy.It works.Recommended.

Bombers away!
Motorhead's road to success was not easy
and this LP set the scene for the fame and fortune that was to follow...but this album would always live in the shelter of it's successors...
Make no mistake, there are some top tunes on this disc..."Dead men tell no tales", "Stone dead forever" and the title track are top rated, but the other songs are a mixed bag, ranging from good to poo-poo.
However, heavy-metal children of oblivion, the bonus live tracks on this CD made up what was called the "Golden Years EP" when they originally released in 1980, and are excellent!!
So, it's the package that once again wins the day...another crucially important purchase.

Bomber
 $9.99   
Includes liner notes by Steffan Chirazi.
With the 1980 release of Ace of Spades, Motörhead had their anthem of anthems -- that is, the title track -- the one trademark song that would summarize everything that made this early incarnation of the band so legendary, a song that would be blasted by legions of metalheads for generations on end. It's a legendary song, for sure, all two minutes and 49 bracing seconds of it. And the album of the same name is legendary as well, among Motörhead's all-time best, often considered their single best, in fact, along with Overkill. Ace of Spades was Motörhead's third great album in a row, following the 1979 releases of Overkill and Bomber, respectively. Those two albums have a lot in common with Ace of Spaces. The classic lineup -- Lemmy (bass and vocals), "Fast" Eddie Clarke (guitar), and "Philthy Animal" Taylor (drums) -- is still in place and sounding as alive and crazed as ever. The album is still rock-solid, boasting several superlative standouts. Actually, besides the especially high number of standouts on Ace of Spades -- at least relative to Bomber, which wasn't quite as strong overall as Overkill had been -- the only key difference between this 1980 ...

Bomber
$9.99
Includes liner notes by Steffan Chirazi.
Motörhead's landmark second album, Overkill, marked a major leap forward for the band, and it remains one of their all-time best, without question. In fact, some fans consider it their single best, topping even Ace of Spaces. It's a ferocious album, for sure, perfectly showcasing Motörhead's trademark style of no holds barred proto-thrash -- a kind of punk-inflected heavy metal style that is sloppy and raw yet forceful and in your face. Motörhead, the band's self-titled debut from 1977, had been rush-recorded, and its stripped-down, super-raw sound wasn't all that impressive, at least not relative to what would follow. Overkill is what followed, recorded in December 1978 and January 1979, and released not long thereafter. The band's sound is fully formed here, and it totally explodes right off the bat on the five-minute title track. A number of Motörhead standards follow, among them "Stay Clean" and "No Class." Produced by Jimmy Miller, who had helmed a number of classic Rolling Stones albums (Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St., Goats Head Soup), Overkill sounds ...

+ 5 Bonus Tracks
Motorhead includes: Lemmy Kilmister (vocals, bass); "Fast" Eddie Clarke.
Recorded in January and February 1982. Includes liner notes by Steffan Chirazi.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Another first-rate Motörhead album -- the fifth in a row, to be precise -- Iron Fist is the final one to feature the band's classic lineup, as guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke would depart following the album's completion. Released in 1982, Iron Fist is mostly distinguished from its predecessors in terms of production, and not favorably. Clarke produced this album himself, whereas industry veterans Jimmy Miller and Vic Maile had respectively manned Motörhead's past four albums. Clarke's production is a bit sterile in comparison, with his guitar in the forefront, sounding slightly more polished than usual. These are minor points, however. Iron Fist is a fine Motörhead album, and there's not much at all to complain about here. As usual, the performance is ferocious and there several standout songs ("Iron Fist," "Heart of Stone," "Speedfreak," "[Don't Let 'Em] Grind You Down") amid a strong selection overall. ...
| | Motorhead No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith CD (1981)
Bomber
$9.99
Motorhead: Lemmy Kilmister, Fast Eddie Clarke, Phil Taylor.
Recorded live in England in 1980 & 1981.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Personnel: Lemmy (vocals); "Fast" Eddie Clarke (guitar); Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor (drums).
Liner Note Authors: Garry Bushell; Phil Alexander.
Recording information: Studio.
Photographers: Ross Halfin; Mick Stevenson.
Released in 1981, the live album No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith recaps the highlights from the legendary run of albums Motörhead released during the prior few years, namely Overkill, Bomber, and Ace of Spades. The band's lesser self-titled debut album is also accounted for here with two inclusions ("Motörhead" and "Iron Horse"), but by and large, the focus is on the standout songs from the aforementioned trio of classics. This alone makes No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith noteworthy, for it plays like a greatest-hits set, opening perfectly with "Ace of Spades." But what makes it all the more noteworthy -- and more than simply a run-of-the-mill, gap-filling live album -- is the performance: ...

+ 3 Bonus Tracks. Feat.Brian Robertson-Thinlizzy
Motorhead includes: Lemmy Kilmister (vocals, bass); Brian Robertson (guitar).
Includes liner notes by Steffan Chirazi.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Liner Note Authors: Steffan Chirazi; Lemmy Kilmister.
Recording information: 02/??/1983-06/10/1983.
Photographer: Mick Stevenson.
Unknown Contributor Role: Brian Robertson.
To this day, Another Perfect Day remains one of the most unique (albeit misunderstood) albums in the entire Motörhead catalog. The band's first effort sans legendary axe-meister "Fast" Eddie Clarke (following six albums, of which at least three are still considered timeless classics), Another Perfect Day would be the band's only outing with onetime Thin Lizzy axeman Brian "Robbo" Robertson. Clearly a nervous musical marriage from the start, the album captures Motörhead mainstays Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister and "Philthy Animal" Taylor struggling to adapt their raw power and ...

You really don't need all that many Motörhead albums. Certainly, you need one with "Ace of Spades," and maybe "Overkill" and "Bomber." But do you need one with harmonies? Not really. And yes, that is slide guitar you can hear in the background. The best track on this so-so collection is "Eat the Rich," which accompanied the film of the same title in which Lemmy attempted ...

| | Chris Proctor Under The Influence CD (2003)
Bomber
$12.55
In his own words: "I decided that I did not want a 'cover' CD as such, and would only record pieces which lent themselves to arrangements that could be both familiar and original. I wanted people to enjoy the pleasures that great recognizable music provides and be transported to new terrain at the same time."Chris has advanced the arts of fingerstyle guitar technique and composition with each recording, but with the stunning release Under the Influence in 2000 he raised the bar on arranging as well, focusing on the music of his formative listening years. He found ways not only to pay homage to each song's origins, but also to take us into territory beyond that of standard Americana or normal tribute albums. With Under the Influence, the familiarity of the material welcomes us as Proctor's singular arrangements surprise us.Chris has always been known for his remarkable body of original works for six- and twelve-string guitar, his trademark counterpoint and inner voices, his technical wizardry and his pioneering use of the E-bow and guitar mutes. In Under the Influence, he interpreted songs from across the musical spectrum, preserving the distinct flavor of each piece with his senses of taste, economy, and proportion, while far surpassing its musical and emotional impact.Recorded in a pristine audiophile setting, Under the Influence takes us for a swim in the diverse waters of Proctor's musical youth. We surf waves of 60's and 70's folk, the timeless and elegant Baroque constructions of J.S. Bach, driving Irish jigs and haunting slow airs, bluegrass and Appalachian string band tunes, and treatments of guitar pieces from steel string titans Leo Kottke and John Fahey, all of which provide substance to the "Instrumental Americana" descriptive which critics use so often to try and capture his style. High points of the recording include:"Nights in White Satin," the CD's amazing opening song, begins with Chris's unmistakable E-bow work and evolves into an emotional tour-de-force of guitar technique, musical interpretation, and arranging skill. "Ohio," Neil Young's lament for the students killed during the Kent State unrest of 1970, showcases Proctor's fingerboard-tapping wizardry, and packs a musical punch that even eclipses the original. "Bach to Ireland" treats us to a medley from Bach's Brandenburg Concerto VI, as well as two beautiful, up-tempo jigs, ...

Click "official website" link below track listing.Testimonials:"I took a listen and immediatly starting smiling...I like it!"-Vicki (Elliot's Review)"Ultimately American Dream is a pretty solid collection of well written and performed songs and Life Trip is certainly worth checking out. Nice job!"- Ryan Sparks (Sea of Tranquility)Chip Symonds “American Dream†features social and political commentary with a twist of humor:â€Bring back the $1.99 six pack McDonald’s has brought back the McRib. I want to buy a $1.99 six pack†Symonds declares on the opening track. The album does, however, have its serious moments, covering themes of war, religion and economic struggle without being preachy. Symonds reminds us to find humor even in times of distress. (News & Record Greensboro, NC)Artist history Hello and welcome to the world of LIFE TRIP.In 2008 Life Trip released a new CD “American Dream†with social-political songs about the state of our nation and the world. Live performances as well as a radio appearance on the Guilford College radio show “The Carolina Show†helped to promote the new CD. I also made a couple of guest appearances playing sax and flute with The Pranksters from Greensboro, NC at The Blind Tiger and sax with Marsupial from Asheville, NC at The Rhino club. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to visit my CD baby page. I have started a new recording project and hope to release a new CD sometime in 2010. *LIFE TRIP was started in Greensboro, NC by Chip Symonds (vocals, keyboard, sax, flute, guitar, bass) [1993]. Originally a solo project, LIFE TRIP released two cassettes (full length) and an EP (7"vinyl)."
