Japanese import edition, this features two bonus tracks ("Killer Cars" and "How Can You Be Sure").
Radiohead rebound from one-hit wonder status with this sophomore classic--the first to blueprint their operatic sonics.
On only their second outing Oxford's Radiohead fulfilled their huge potential, fashioning an album whose relentlessly downbeat tone was offset by an ability to formulate consistently winning melodies. The title track and "Just" throw some customary rock poses, but for the most part the band displayed a far more expansive approach. Thom Yorke emerged from the woodwork with a new-found vocal confidence, revealing a striking falsetto on two of the album's strongest tracks, "Fake Plastic Trees" and "High & Dry." The last three songs build inexorably to the stunning emotional climax of "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" with a control and poise that showcased the band's new maturity.
Japanese edition of their higly acclaimed 1995 & secondalbum with two bonus tracks, 'How Can You Be Sure' & 'KillerCars'. 14 tracks total, also featuring the hits 'High AndDry', 'Street Spirit (Fade Out)', 'Just', 'Fake PlasticTrees' and 'My Iron Lung'. EMI release.

Entertainment Weekly (4/7/95, p.92) - "...Sometimes folky, sometimes rocky, the sophomore album from this English band offers a smorgasbord of guitar flavors, most of them tasty, The stylistic leaps make for schizoid listening....but give these boys credit for not standing still..." - Rating: B+

Bends album
 $9.99    
OK COMPUTER was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year and won the 1998 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance.
OK COMPUTER, Radiohead's third album, is the bombastic follow-up to 1995's sleeper hit THE BENDS, which left critics and listeners as impressed with the band's ability as they were curious about their potential. In spite of its technological-sounding title and apocalyptic sci-fi themes, OK COMPUTER is firmly grounded in the rock verities. Waves of guitars rage beneath the haunting melodies and near-hysterical fits of singer Thom Yorke. This ...
| | Radiohead My Iron Lung CD (1994) (Import) Spain
Bends CD music
$11.65 
The import EP My Iron Lung is as close to a forgotten, long-lost Radiohead album as you can get. Although marketed and priced as an EP, it contains eight tracks, seven of which are unavailable anywhere else, and is half an hour long (which more than meets the criteria for a full-length). But besides its length, what makes My Iron Lung such a find is the quality of the tracks, all of them being great outtakes from the sessions for their classic 1995 full-length release The Bends. And because of the tracks' consistency and sequencing, it plays like a real album rather than a collection of B-sides and outtakes thrown together haphazardly. Starting off with the title track, which is the only song available elsewhere (on The Bends), the band hits you with one strong track after another, such as "The Trickster," "Lewis (Mistreated)," "Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong," and others. The only weak spot on My Iron Lung is a closing acoustic version of their breakthrough hit "Creep." Performed solo by singer Thom Yorke, it contains a surprisingly harsh and off-key middle section, but his sincerity ...

$9.99 
So you're one of the most innovative, admired bands in the world. Your last three albums have been among the most glorified and scrutinized in post-Beatles rock history. What's your next move? In the case of Radiohead, that crucial next move proved to be the live album I MIGHT BE WRONG, which documents the intense performances of material from the last couple of albums and gives the envelope-pushing creative team a much-needed breather before unveiling their next masterpiece.
Not that I MIGHT BE WRONG bears the slightest hint of filler or contractual obligation; these fever-pitch versions of cuts from KID A and AMNESIAC add much to the band's legacy. From the driving, Can-like bass line of the opener "The National Anthem" ...

Bends music CDs
$16.45
From the early '90s on, violinist Susie Hansen has led one of the most popular Afro-Cuban jazz/salsa/dance bands in the Los Angeles area. Her group works steadily and easily straddles the boundaries between salsa and Latin jazz, excelling in both areas. Hansen's long-overdue second recording is a good reflection of how her band sounds live. Four of the ten songs are instrumentals, most of the vocal tunes have some worthwhile jazz solos, and all of the music is quite danceable and somewhat joyous. In addition to the leader's swinging and singing violin, soloists include trombonist David Stout, tenor saxophonist Steve Marsh, and pianist Joe Rotondi; Justo Almario makes two guest appearances on tenor. With George Balmaseda and Ruben Esteva taking turns contributing lead vocals, there is no shortage of excitement throughout the memorable set. This disc is well done on all levels and perfect music for any Latin party. ~ Scott Yanow
Electric violinist Susie Hansen is an exhilarating artist in Latin Jazz. Hansen and her talented musicians have created an invigorating and appealing sound that brings audiences to their feet, dancing in the aisles. With her powerful electric violin in the forefront and an accompanying crew of some of Los Angeles' finest Latin musicians, Hansen's approach to Latin Jazz and Salsa is captivating. Susie Hansen is a long time favorite in Los Angeles, where she has led her band since 1990. Recently she was featured as a soloist with Orquesta Los Van Van, Cuba's premier dance orchestra, both in Los Angeles on their 1997 debut U.S. concert tour, as well as in Havana, Cuba, for the opening night of Carnaval in February 1997. The Chicago native has developed her own unique and exciting style by drawing on various forms of jazz and Latin music. She has combined her own interpretation of traditional Cuban charanga, a predecessor of Salsa, which features both violin and flute, along with the ever-potent fire of Afro-Cuban rhythms and the compelling harmonies of straight-ahead jazz. Her all-star band features Ruben Esteva on lead vocals, Joe Rotondi on keyboards, Tiki Pasillas on drums and Joe DeLeon on Congas. Hansen has been heard at the Playboy Jazz Festival, Fiesta Broadway, Fresno Latin Jazz Fest, Newport Beach Jazz Fest, and various community concerts throughout Southern California. She plays regularly at such clubs as the Baked Potato, La Bamba, the Jazz Bakery and the Whittier Hilton Hotel. She has appeared as a guest artist with Tito Puente, Orquesta Aragon, Giovani Hidalgo, Paquito d'Rivera, Orquesta Broadway, Rachel Z, El Gran Combo, and Sonora Ponceña. Susie Hansen is a recording artist on Jazz Caliente Records. Her album "Solo Flight" is available on CD and cassette. Susie's music can be heard on radio throughout Southern California and nationwide. She is currently working on a second recording. Susie plays the electric 5-string Zeta ...

| | Enon Hocus Pocus CD (2003)
Bends album
$12.95 
Arriving just over a year after the excellent High Society, Hocus Pocus is Enon's attempt to sum up where it has been on its previous albums and strike out in new directions at the same time. These contradictory impulses result in an album that's a musical tug-of-war: while many of Hocus Pocus' tracks sound like pleasant but not especially distinctive reworks of High Society songs, there are almost as many that suggest Enon is moving in some intriguing new directions. While there's nothing inherently wrong with "Spanish Boots"' good-natured indie rock or "Shave"'s atmospheric, Asian-influenced new wave, it tends to sound like slight variations on High Society's "Window Display" and the band's breakout hit "In This City," respectively. Unfortunately, this problem plagues a good portion of the album: songs like the pretty but vague "Monsoon" and the meandering "Storm the Gates" sound underdeveloped, like outtakes from High Society with all of that album's tension and weirdness removed. Hocus Pocus also suffers from some strange sequencing: most of its quieter numbers are placed near the beginning of the album and the louder tracks are dumped anticlimactically near the end. Compounding the problem is the album's somewhat subdued production, which gives an overly detached feeling to potentially powerful tracks like "Litter in the Glitter." Still, Hocus Pocus' best songs make it a difficult album to dismiss entirely; and, as with the previous album, Toko Yasuda's bright, fresh-sounding vocals are at least partly responsible for some of its most distinctive moments. "Daughter in the House of Fools" is one of Enon's best songs to date, with junkyard percussion and flitting electronics providing a bouncy, playful showcase for Yasuda's vocals. Likewise, "Mika Zuki" is equal parts beauty and whimsy, a mix of traditional Japanese music, electronica, and a bit of exotica. They're different than anything Enon has tried before, suggesting a new realm ...
