LAMENT was a 1980s-era addition to the canon of synth-pop albums from Ultravox, with the band scoring some hit singles with the upbeat "Dancing With Tears in my Eyes" and the mournful title track.
Ultravox were in a gray mood as they launched into their seventh studio album, LAMENT. With the band's previous existential angst now pooling around personal anguish, the album's title track was a study in languorous melancholy, where emotional pain lingers on and on. Even "One Small Day," the most celebratory song on the set, battles depression but dismally loses the war. No wonder Ultravox were so keen to escape into the past, with "Man of Two Worlds" taking them back to the gloriously romanticized days of the Celts. The modern world, in contrast, was filled with terrors, both emotional ("A Friend I Call Desire") and geopolitical ("White China" and "Heart of the Country"). The mini-epic "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" points to the richness of life the world's leaders hold so carelessly in their hands. This was to be Ultravox's final album and in many ways the set was a perfect epitaph--as lavish musically as it was desolating thematically.

Lament
$13.89
Call it desert rock, acid rock, stoner rock, or whenever else you want -- On Trial's sound is straight out of 1970. Like Kyuss and Masters of Reality, these Danish retro-rock veterans fall in line with the more relaxed, psychedelic end of the proto-metal spectrum. In fact, much of Blinded by the Sun is hardly metal at all, bringing to mind such psych-era inspirations as the Amboy Dukes, ...
| | Bad Religion How Could Hell Be Any Worse? CD (1982) Reissue; Remastered
Lament
$10.45
80-85 contains Bad Religion's first full-length album, HOW COULD HELL BE ANY WORSE?..., their first EP, and additional rare material.
Principally recorded in Los Angeles, California between 1980 and 1985. Includes liner notes by Greg Hetson.
For newer Bad Religion fans curious about their earlier work, the 1991 compilation 80-85 is highly recommended. As expected, the songs are a lot rawer than their later releases, but a lot of the same musical elements that would be perfected in the 1990s by the band (biting social commentary, melodic twists and turns) are present. Some fans consider this era "the real Bad Religion," as evidenced by such tracks as "Yesterday," "New Leaf," "Along the Way," and "Bad Religion."
This 2004 version of Bad Religion's 1982 debut takes the place of 80-85, which had previously accounted for the group's earliest output. Fully remastered (as Epitaph has done for a bulk of early BR releases), the set includes the first LP's full track listing, as well as the first three EPs. The expanded booklet features a full lyric sheet, reprints of the EP cover art, and a great photo collage that's as informative a scene history as any wordy liner retrospective would be. The energy in those photos of sweaty, awkward teenage kids gathering in well-lit rooms to play music and dance is correspondent to the music itself, which puts Bad Religion's initial forays toward hardcore and punk into tense, buzzing relief. Listening to How Could Hell Be Any Worse? is like cupping your ear against the garage door of their practice space. Greg Graffin's vocal style isn't fully formed here, nor is his lyrical agenda, but the building blocks are significant and affecting, bigger than piles of collapsed cathedrals. Indeed, "Voice of God Is Government" begins with a caustic caricature of the money-grubbing preacher, who assures that donations will be used to "censor TV and radio, ban questionable books, and contribute to many other Godly services." Snotty punk then crumbles into accelerated, anthemic hardcore. The subtle "We're Only Gonna Die" ...
| | Rainbow Ffolly Sallies Fforth CD (1967) (Import) United Kingdom
Lament
$15.65 
Thirteen examples of pleasant, mid-tempo, mildly amplified psychedelic pop, most of them owing some considerable debt to the influence of the Beatles' Rubber Soul and Revolver (though not their production), with some of the nutsy brand of humor that Giles, Giles, & Fripp later traded in. This is basically Paul McCartney-influenced psychedelia, not only in the tone and texture of the lead vocals, but the retro style of songs like "I'm So Happy," with some vaguely progressive touches that make one think of the more ornate tracks off of Bee Gees' 1st. "Montgolfier" is a folky/trippy, deliberately antiquated ...
| | Greatest Show On Earth Horizons CD (1970) Bonus Track; Remastered
Lament
$16.65 
Although the Greatest Show on Earth (GSOE) were not the first bunch of rockers to incorporate a powerful brass and woodwind section, they are among the best and heaviest-sounding British bands to have emerged from the post-psychedelia of the late '60s and early '70s. GSOE were, in essence, the invention of EMI Records subsidiary Harvest, who were focusing in on new and progressive artists such as Pink Floyd and Deep Purple. When the group was initially signed in 1968, they were an R&B/soul revue whose forte was more along the lines of Stax or Motown, instead of trippy acid rock. After ditching their original vocalist, Ozzie Lane, they eventually settled on Colin Horton Jennings, a multi-faceted performer who would begin to compose originals that would allow the octet to incrementally abandon their Yankee soul leanings. After a few months of woodshedding new tunes, they emerged with a fresh sound and material for their debut, Horizons (1970). The extracted single "Real Cool World" is marked by its open-throttle, galloping tempo and some equally pungent electric organ riffs. As such, it was also given a few cursory spins on BBC's Radio One; however, the remainder of the disc was criminally overlooked. To modern ears, this is a great shame, as the effort is full of well-crafted and adeptly executed material. Of primary interest is the aggressive rocker "Angelina" and the groovy "Skylight Man." The latter title features a brief and buoyant trumpet-led introduction by Dick Hanson that recalls the Tijuana Brass more so than, say, Blood, Sweat & Tears or Chicago. The darker "I Fought for Love" stands as one of the edgier sides and is augmented by some stellar organ leads and fills from Mick ...
