For this album, Daevid is joined by Russell Hibbs of The Invisible Opera Company Of Tibet.
Singer/guitarist Russell Hibbs deserves the top billing on 2000's Nectans Glen, as his is the strongest authorial voice on the album. The somewhat better-known Daevid Allen, who had previously collaborated with Hibbs in the fancifully named Invisible Opera Company of Tibet, wrote only two of the songs and limits himself to a primarily instrumental role. Hibbs favors a psychedelic folk influence, neither as twee as the Incredible String Band (although the album does feature some of the same sort of ethnomusicological exotica) nor as spacy as post-Floyd Syd Barrett (although there's a certain vocal resemblance on some of the slower songs). A clever albeit occasionally quite silly sense of humor similar to Robyn Hitchcock's rears up on a few songs, most notably the hilarious Arthurian fairy tale "Kerridwen," and elsewhere Hibbs skirts the line between the pretentious and the profound with much more skill than some of his cohorts. Nectans Glen is more for psychedelic folk fans than for fans of Daevid Allen's usual space rock experimentation, but it's an interesting, often enchanting release. ~ Stewart Mason

Nectans Glen CD music
$14.30 Rush is no stranger to best-of compilation albums, they've released a slew of them. They are also no stranger to DVDs. To mark their 35th anniversary, they've released Working Men, which is both; it marks their first best-of live compilation exclusively from the DVD sets Rush in Rio (2003), R30 (2005), and Snakes & Arrows Live (2008). There is also an unreleased cut from R30 -- a killer version of One Little Victory. While fans may simply regard this as a record company cash grab, hardcore fans know how closely Rush monitors each release and controls all aspects of their career. On hearing these tracks without benefit of the visuals, it becomes lucidly clear that in the 21st century, Rush plays more like a hungry act looking to prove themselves rather than as seasoned veterans jaded by the entire business. The instrumental interaction between Neal Peart, Alex Lifeson, and Geddy Lee is utterly uncanny, the anticipation and the willingness to add flourishes and to challenge one another in the bridges and solo sections reveal their command of the material and their empathies for one another's playing strengths. One of the more revealing things on a live record such as this one is the sophistication in Lee's vocal delivery now that his singing voice has deepened with age. The only time on the entire disc when it doesn't entirely work is when he tries to recapture his old, piercing caterwaul on 2112, but in that spontaneity ...
| | Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention Roxy & Elsewhere CD (1974) Remastered
Nectans Glen music CDs
$8.25 Pricipally recorded live at The Roxy, Hollywood, California from December 10-12, 1973; the Auditorium Theater, Chicago, Illinois in 1974; Edinboro State College, Edinboro, Pennsylvania on May 8, 1974.
It's no secret that one of the most powerful weapons in Zappa's arsenal was his sense of humor, which was at its height in live performance. Consequently, there's no better way to get a feel for the full scope of Zappa's music than on the live ROXY & ELSEWHERE. This set finds Frank at his mid-'70s peak, working with Ruth Underwood, Don Preston, George Duke, etc. While all the tunes are technically impeccable (often featuring trademark feats of counter-intuitive derring-do), it's Zappa's humorous interaction with the band and the audience that puts the real spark into this recording.
Delivering lengthy monologues both inbetween and during the songs, Zappa provides light-hearted contrast to the mulit-textured, typically sophisticated arrangements. For every "Son of Orange County" (an ambitious, difficult piece) there's a "Cheepnis" (wherein he details his fondness for cheesy horror films) or "Be-Bop Tango," where he brings audience ...

$15.65 The release of 2009's ENDGAME brings with it a startling realization: if first-generation thrash metal fans had been polled about which of the genre's "Big Four" -- Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth -- would prove to be the most resilient and consistently prolific over the next quarter century, the only sure-fire consensus would probably have been "well, ...

Nectans Glen music CDs
$17.45 PACIFIER is the self-titled debut of the New Zealand post-hardcore band formerly known as Shihad.
After years of reigning the rock scene in their homeland, New Zealand's Shihad were ready to try their hand in America. In the studio on September 11, 2001, the band nearly called it quits and headed for home. With a name slightly similar to "jihad," the Arab word of "holy war," the quartet figured the deck was stacked against them. Instead, re-christened Pacifier, the group poured itself into the sessions with renewed commitment. The resulting self-titled album is not so much a good band reinventing itself (being that their sound didn't alter that much), but a band finding a new enthusiasm for their own music. The first single, "Bullitproof," on the surface declares this new enthusiasm. It earned heavy rotation on MTV2 soon after its ...
