Open House CD music
$11.15
Steered by Randy Diderrich, the Chicago quintet Sundayrunners offer a fantastic song cycle on their eponymous debut. Influences like Radiohead, Doves, and the Pixies are felt in both the upbeat opener, "Elected," and the quirky, experimental pop song "Memories Left at Sea," but if Sundayrunners draw inspiration from said greats, they still boast a uniqueness that keeps them from sounding derivative. As the disc plays out, the material holds up, from the pensive "1993" to the distorted, fractured magic of "Evolver." If the drama that propels "Floor Toms Fall Away" -- which recalls several tracks on David Bowie's classic Hunky Dory -- seems a little overblown at first, it quickly reveals itself to be an ideal forum for keyboardist Aaron Grant to display his talent. It also serves as Diderrich's finest vocal performance yet. ~ John D. Luerssen
"SundayRunners' degree of alt-rock notoriety in the months to come is a largely deserving acclaim. (The band) draws equally from rising-and-falling Brit-rock, pop melodies and the advance-and-retreat strategy of golden-age alternative" - Billboard Magazine"The absolutely gorgeous melodies that are mixed with the left-of-center musical touches give the band's songs a fantastic emotional tension that keeps pulling me in. And the material is uniformly strong, with one highlight ("Elected, "Memories Left At Sea," "1993") after another ("Evolver," "Everlasting Sun," "Lip Biter"). I really believe the album is a stunner: catchy and moody, with arrangements that are so well thought-out and finely sculpted." - Mitch Schneider / MSO "... explosive and distinctive with sticky guitar sounds --- ear-possessing charms abound. ...hook heavy, sweet `n catchy full flavored guitar-driven power pop fare with flare. ...buoyant, chugging guitars and hooks to land you on land as you float in the heavenly seas of pop bliss. SundayRunners make challenging and sophisticated music that is as entertaining as it is creative. Not only a promising but accomplished debut---well done, lads. Extremely Highly Recommended!" - Not Lame Recording"5 Stars! SundayRunners' debut is filled with some of the most irresistible pop in music today. With songs charged with a wide range of emotions - from the waves of hope that swell from underneath "Memories ...

| | Steve Rose Twin Earth: Collected Ambient Works CD (2009)
Open House music CDs
$10.15
Steve Rose has been playing and recording steadily since the mid-80s. Having played in a variety of musical contexts (e.g., Jazz/Rock, Progressive/Rock), he has also dabbled frequently in the ambient genre. This collection of music is a representation of some of his first forays into the ambient world with pieces dating back to 1994. His wish to release these recordings publicly has been buoyed by his fellow musicians and friends. While being abstract in nature, many of the pieces have an underlying melancholy, yearning, and dreaminess.-------------Reviews:-- "Steve Rose’s Twin Earth: Collected Ambient Works feels more like a fully developed thematic work than a collection of recordings over a 15 year period. I knew I would like this CD from the opening notes of “Guitar Abstraction #3: Cumulus”, dreamy floating music. If you like ambient guitar treatments by the likes of Steve Roach, Robert Rich and Jeff Pearce, this disc is definitely for you. “Emergent Properties” is equally ethereal and a touch brighter if that’s possible. Fans of sparser works by Brian Eno will find a lot to like on this 15-minute floater. Rose’s music is, for the most part, the antithesis of dark ambient; although it has haunting qualities here and there, this is ambience that will lift your spirits. For example, “The Haunted” is darker, but has a cinematic almost majestic tone to it. The way this one combines drumming with atmospheric sounds reminds me somewhat of Thom Brennan’s excellent “The Path Not Taken,” one of my favorite ambient tracks. While I’ve listed several common points of reference, Rose’s music is certainly solid enough to stand on its own merits. The bubbly restless churning of “TMR-1C” and the sparse piano and synth textures of the title track take us into darker territory before returning to the light with the shimmering closing track, another ambient guitar piece that makes a perfect bookend to the opener." (Phil Derby of Electroambient Space: http://www.electroambientspace.com)--Steve Rose, Twin Earth: Collected Ambient WorksI’ve kept Steve Rose’s suite of gently flowing guitar-based ambient in my iPod rotation for a couple of months now. It lives there quietly, making itself known now and then. While it’s not a groundbreaking or particularly innovative disk, it’s a solid handful of very listenable pieces, and especially pleasant mixed in on shuffle mode. Rose plays with a calm, sure hand. He knows his way around guitar effects–very little here sounds like a guitar until he intends it to–and structure. His pieces move slowly, chords like soft pastel marks on his aural canvases. It’s good background stuff that stands up to scrutiny ...
