Achingly gorgeous and hauntingly stark, Mark Hollis' self-titled debut picks up where he left off with Talk Talk's Laughing Stock seven years earlier, re-emerging at the nexus point where jazz, ambient, and folk music collide. It's quite possibly the most quiet and intimate record ever made, each song cut to the bone for maximum emotional impact and every note carrying enormous meaning. Hollis paints his music in fine, exquisite strokes, with an uncanny mastery of atmosphere that's frequently devastating. And if anything, his singularly resonant voice has grown even more plaintive with the passage of time, which -- combined with the understated artistry and minimalist beauty of tracks like "The Colour of Spring" and "Watershed" -- makes Mark Hollis a truly unique and indelible listening experience. His obvious understanding of the power of silence aside, one prays he doesn't again wait for the seven-year itch to strike before returning. ~ Jason Ankeny
Talk Talk frontman Mark Hollis took his sweet time in releasing his 1998 solo debut. Then again, this is the man who said, "Before you play two notes, learn how to play one note--and don't play one note unless you've got a reason to play it." That spirit of minimalism certainly informs MARK HOLLIS, a masterpiece of reflection and restraint.
MARK HOLLIS revisits the holy, haunted realm of LAUGHING STOCK, Talk Talk's 1991 swan song. Hollis's tremulous tenor sounds as fragile and self-contained as ever, his Samuel Beckett-like lyric fragments illuminating the deliberate spaces left in the sensitive arrangements. Each of these eight songs is a revelation. Henry Lowther's brassy, braying trumpet suddenly ripples the reflective "Watershed." Woodwinds, harmonica, piano, guitar, and harmonium catch Hollis' words within a tilting kaleidoscope of instrumental color on "A Life (1895-1915)" and "A New Jerusalem," much in the manner of Morton Feldman. "The Gift" and "The Daily Planet" are moments of pure pop-jazz epiphany, swaying in elegant, unhurried rhythms. Other highlights include the folky, dustbowl yearning of "Westward Bound," and the pensive grace of "Inside Looking Out" and "The Colour of Spring."

Q (4/00, p.117) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...sparse, elliptical pieces which reflect his ongoing fascination with Miles Davis, Claude Debussy, Nick Drake and 'the geography of sound'..."
Magnet (p.115) - "He weaves elegant, minimalist tapestries in which his lyrics pit fate against faith and his ice-water vocals scale the heights to disrupt the stillness that surrounds it."
Melody Maker (3/14/00, p.53) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...[A] minimalist album full of arty hushedness..."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/01/04, p.56) - Included in Mojo's The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own! - "[S]o understated it almost vanished into thin air...[A] collision of folk, chamber music, and jazz... "

Audio Mixer: Kevin Shirley.
Recording information: Avatar Studios, New York, NY; The Boneyard; The Hit Factory, New York, NY.
Aerosmith signed a multi-million-dollar contract with Columbia Records before they had completed their deal with Geffen, which meant that a lot was riding on their Columbia debut, Nine Lives, when it was finally delivered in 1997. During recording, the band nearly broke up, and they worked with a number of producers -- including Glen Ballard, the man behind Alanis Morissette -- before settling on Kevin Shirley, an in-house producer responsible for Silverchair and Journey. Perhaps that's the reason why Nine Lives sounds so calculated, as if it was assembled by a band trying to sound like Aerosmith. In a sense, it is -- not one of the 13 songs were written without the assistance of professional songwriters. Of course, some of the best moments of Pump and Permanent Vacation were also written with professionals, but they had an appealing, slick surface that made them infectious. Nine Lives, in contrast, is overlabored, with Aerosmith making a conscious effort to sound hip and vibrant, which ironically simply makes them sound tired. Not only are the performances perfunctory, but the songs aren't catchy -- no matter how hard it tries, "Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)" never ...

Escape from Cape Coma is the debut of Twisted Method, a young Florida quartet determined to carve out a nu-metal niche of its own. Lyrically, the album revolves around the F word. Heavily treated production, animalistic screams, and incessant, pounding, grating rhythms broken only by the occasional attempt at Linkin Park-style balladry ("Awkward Silence," "Shine") finish out the equation. Love Slipknot? Miss Drowning Pool? Escape from Cape Coma is for you. As the story goes, MCA signed Twisted Method on the strength of the band's showcase alone, and without even a demo tape, the boys found themselves in an L.A. studio recording their debut. If it's even partially true, the story promises a strong set from the band at Ozzfest. Tracks like "Panic," "Reach," and "Inside Out" are certainly full of rage, and should offer loud rock fans some cheap headbanging thrills. ~ Johnny Loftus

God's Money
Gang Gang Dance God's Money CD  (2005)

Mark Hollis songs
CD $12.19  Audio Samples Definitive Album (MP3 Available for Download)
Influenced in equal doses by Afrobeat pioneers like Fela Kuti and avant-underground noisemakers like Swans, Brooklyn's Gang Gang Dance found their voice on their second full-length, MONEY. It incorporates all manner of distorted vocal loops, dissonant percussive elements, and melodically demented keyboards. The end result is songs like "God's Money V," which synthesize into a rhythm that emerges by the force of disparate elements magnetically mashing together. "Nomad For Love (Cannibal)" best illustrates GOD'S intent: to prove that something beautiful can develop organically ...
