| | Unida/Dozer Double EP CD Unida Discography of CDs
Following in the footsteps of pioneering stoner rock label Man's Ruin Records, Meteor City did their part to keep the split stoner EP tradition alive in 1999 with this eight-song collection from Unida and Dozer. Fronted by former Kyuss vocalist John Garcia, Unida unleashed this, their second set of recorded material to the delight of stoner fans everywhere, many of which were slightly disappointed with Garcia's first post-Kyuss outfit, Slo Burn. While Dozer's contribution to the disc is decent enough, it's Garcia and Unida who really shine. Garcia's voice is in great form, and the material is muscular -- recalling, but not equaling Kyuss' excessive and bottom-heavy dirge. The singer's tendency toward vague and pointless lyricism barely blemishes the pungent "Red," and the remaining Unida tracks are as close to flawless as desert rock can get in a post-Kyuss universe. Dozer seem to be mining the same influences as Unida on the disc's latter half, but the group can't contend with Garcia and company, especially with the frontman in such fine vocal form. ~ Vincent Jeffries

While Herman's Hermits will undoubtedly never get the critical respect afforded other British Invasion groups like the Beatles, the Who, the Rolling Stones, or the Kinks, as a group they weren't as silly as most people remember them. OK, maybe they were -- certainly when on camera -- but they and their producer Mickie Most had the good sense to pick solid songs to cover (the Goffin & King nugget "I'm into Something Good," "Silhouettes," originally done by the Rays, and Sam Cooke's great "Wonderful World"), which allowed them to sustain a hit-making career long past the end of chart action for such rival pop-oriented British Invasion acts as Gerry & the Pacemakers and Billy J. Kramer. This four-disc set covers the Hermits' years with Most (1964 to 1972) about as well as one could in terms of content, representing everything the group did with him, including a brace of rarities, unreleased tracks, and sides that singer Peter Noone recorded with Most as a solo artist on the producer's RAK label. For most Hermits fans, it will seem like too much of a good thing, as all of the group's hits have reappeared numerous times in compilations too ubiquitous to list -- but they would be making a terrible mistake to pass up this set. Indeed, if anything, this quadruple-disc set is too much of a great thing, if such a thing is possible (though with one important flaw). And that makes it well worth saving up for.
One has to say at the outset that anyone who seriously loves the familiar hits will find a huge amount to enjoy and then some in the surrounding LP and EP tracks that comprise most of this set. As one quickly discovers, the Hermits work was an embarrassment of pop/rock riches second only to the Beatles in consistency, if not ambition. One of the secrets behind the Hermits' extraordinary sales success under Most's musical direction was that ...
