| | Big Country Seer CD Big Country Discography of CDs
This version of Big Country's SEER features a guest appearance from Kate Bush, as well as a compliment of additional bonus tracks.
The third proper album by Scottish quartet Big Country kicks off with the stellar "Look Away," a rocking outlaw tale with very cool guitar work from Bruce Watson and lead singer Stuart Adamson. However, the simple, anthemic choruses and effects-laden guitars are beginning to wear a little thin four years after the band's promising breakthrough. Big Country does little to expand on their sound or lyrical themes and The Seer is somewhat disappointing. There are a few solid tracks like the moody title song (with Kate Bush lending vocals) and the stirring "Eiledon," but the band had done these songs better. It managed to chart three singles in the U.K., with "Look Away" going Top Ten, but the American audience had dwindled to hard-core fans. It's the hardcore fans that The Seer is most likely to be of interest to. ~ Tom Demalon

Mike Hoffman's known mainly for his Fantasy artwork, but he's been writing and recording steadily since his early band days the late 70s. He started playing guitar after stealing one from an unlocked car at age 15. His delinquent pals asked him to burn it, but he wisely refused.The "Monster University" idea had been kicking around in his mind for some time, and inspired by Spike Jones and other Monster albums from the 60s, he set about writing and recording a set of 13 songs with the idea of promoting it at the New Jersey "Chiller Theatre" in 2004. Each piece appears on the album in the order it was created. Mike says that by the time he reached song #13 he felt he didn't have a single monster song left in him, but a year later he made a special 4-song EP, due to be released very soon. That disk has a song featuring a guest spot by 1950s Horror Host Zacherley, who literally "called it in". Many people in the Horror "business" have enthusiastically endorsed this collection of songs, like "Monster Bash" convention organizer Ron Adams, who says "It's the best Pop-Rock Monster album--PERIOD!", and you can't get a much more enthusiastic a recommendation than that. It's also been played both past Halloweens on various national radio programs, like Chicago's "Nightmare City Halloween", the country's longest-running ...

"Music is the way I share what I have seenMy only drug is madness my bloodstream is cleanWhy do you need powder to behave like a starI say like Kurt Cobain, come as you areWe want to be loved to be worshiped as godsWe sell our asses to be ridiculed as sodsAn artist should live forgotten abroadAway from TV and the celebrity fraudI travel the world but haven't seen muchThe visions I have come through the sense of touchSo this is my fate telling stories to the beatSculpted in the hall where sound and meaning meetI am no media star, communication breakdown,This is aimed at the ether of the underground.Ape's my existence and ape's my excuse,If you've never suffered I can take the abuse."(From the album title track)G.U.T. is the zoological garden of my mind, where scores of weird beasts run around in frenzy and freedom. Since 1999 I have been writing electronica-based songs, and in August 2005 I finally committed myself to making a full album. For that purpose I rented the Graffitti Studio in Sofia, Bulgaria for four weeks' worth of studio time. Working in a wholly new country with new people turned into a genuine pleasure, given the resolute professionalism of the Graffitti crew. Ognian Kiossovski engineered the recording sessions. The Bulgarian composer and conductor Christo Pavlov arranged six of the G.U.T. songs for the Strrings (sic!) Quartet. After a rather quiet year with some additional vocal takes and editing by the sea in Kragerø, Norway, I received a generous grant from the Cultiva Express trust in Kristiansand, sponsoring the mixing of the album. Consequently I asked the mixer Endre Kirkesola at Dub Studio to board ship. In January 2007 he started on the ...
