OUT OF THE DARK is the last studio album from "Rock Me Amadeus" Austrian pop singer Falco, who died in a car accident in 1998 at the age of 40. This nine-song CD includes "Der Komissar 2000," a remake of Falco's early '80s hit.
During the '90s, many synth-based artists from the previous decade toughened up their sound considerably, obviously having taken note of Nine Inch Nails. Adam Ant and Gary Numan would be included on this list, as well as Germany's Falco. But unlike the other aforementioned artists, Falco did not have to rely on the aid of another modern artist to resuscitate his recording career (Adam Ant/Trent Reznor, Gary Numan/Fear Factory) -- issuing Out of the Dark (Into the Light) on his own in 1998. Those expecting an album's worth of tunes in the same style as "Rock Me Amadeus" may be disappointed, as such tracks as "No Time for Revolution" and "Hit Me" are more hard-hitting than what you'd expect from Falco. That said, there are a few detours back to his earlier style, as evidenced by such tracks as "Egoist" and "Shake," as well as a retread of one of his early hits, "Der Kommissar 2000." Sadly, Out of the Dark (Into the Light) would be the last studio album released during Falco's lifetime, as he died the same year it was issued. ~ Greg Prato Out Of The Dark (Into The Light) Music Falco Out Of The Dark (Into The Light) Songs | 1. | No Time For Revolution |

This Sanctuary label cash-in comp features a host of the current crop of "jam bands," including Blues Traveler, Les Claypool, Galactic, Big Head Todd, Gov't Mule, Yonder Mountain String Band, and moe. (featuring John Hiatt on vocals) playing Lynyrd Skynyrd covers. ~ Thom Jurek
For starters, this is just a plain bad idea. Lynyrd Skynyrd were about as far from being a "jam band" as you could get -- the live version of "Free Bird" notwithstanding. The next part is that almost none of the acts featured here -- judging by performances -- have a clue as to what the band they are "paying tribute" to was really about (Gov't Mule, the Drive-By Truckers, and the North Mississippi Allstars are the only exceptions -- and the latter two are not "jam bands" anyway). For starters, Les Claypool's camp versions of a Skynyrd classic like "Call Me the Breeze" (written by J.J. Cale) is nearly sacrilegious for its tuneless fake funk. Galactic fares little better by taking the raw, swampy, edgy guitar scorch out of "Saturday Night Special." The Mule redeem things a bit with their fine, soulful version of "Simple Man," which features Warren Haynes digging deeply inside himself to deliver Ronnie Van Zant's lyrics. The North Mississippi Allstars get "Whiskey Rock a Roller" mostly right, though it's a bit restrained and the vocal just doesn't get it. The travesty that is moe.'s "Ballad of Curtis Loew," with the truly awful, affected vocals of John Hiatt, is worth mention only because it just may be the worst Lynyrd Skynyrd cover on record. Blues Traveler's attempted reworking of "Free Bird" works not at all. The Truckers get the heart, soul, blood, and guts of the "Every Mother's Son" lyric, and leave the guitars all distorted and nasty -- thank God. And so it goes. From the overwrought "Sweet Home Alabama" by Big Head Todd to the lifeless funk of Disco Biscuits' read of "Gimme the Steps" to the Yonder Mountain String Band's "Four Walls of Raiford" (sounding more like "Long Black Veil" than the tune they're supposed to be playing) to Particle's slick keyboard and drum'n'bass-driven riffs that permeate "Workin' for the MCA," it's all blather and nonsense. Far from a tribute to one of the greatest and most innovative ...
