| | Rumah Sakit CD Rumah Sakit Discography of CDs
Rumah Sakit's forays into sound are a heady mix of mathy time signatures and dense musical passages that craftily, oftentimes dreamily, intersect. The quartet shares the same instrumentation as like-minded modern prog misfits Don Caballero: two guitars, bass, and drums, and, of course, no vocals to sully the mix. But this San Francisco outfit isn't as consistently crushing as their Pittsburgh brothers, and it's not uncommon to find the musicians idly lying in the grass and gazing up at evocative clouds (metaphorically speaking, anyway). The epic "Scott & Jeremiah" begins with a lovely if slightly morose pattern, sounding something like a lonesome grandfather clock, until the intensity incrementally increases and we find ourselves swimming in interlocking, clipped phrases with occasional explosions of sound that bulldoze over the initial mellowness. A wry humor rears it's head on "Careful With That Fax Machine," but despite the title the song owes less to Floyd and more to King Crimson, at least the Red and Discipline albums. A breakneck opening pattern builds and builds until shattering into a greasy, jazzy groove, courtesy of bassist Kenneth. Guitar players Mitch and John provide some well-placed squeals, squawks, and howls, while drummer Jeff is everything a prog/jazz/indie-loving beater should be. One of the most successful Rumah Sakit conjurations is "Wind & Wing," a track which brings their musical algebra to a noise rock fever pitch, only to settle into a disarmingly gorgeous melody. The closer, "Stomachache Due to the Sincere Belief That the Rest of My Band Is Trying to Kill Me," is a paranoid, claustrophobic gem, the music belying the silliness of the title. ~ Will Lerner

Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher ...

The Beatles always stood apart from their peers, a self-evident statement that sadly extended to the treatment of their catalog in the digital age. Where all their contemporaries from the Byrds to the Who have had their catalogs remastered and reissued in deluxe editions, sometimes several times, the Beatles remained stuck in the early days of digital, their 14 albums plus PAST MASTERS singles collections remaining untouched since 1987. The 2009 reissue campaign corrects almost all the problems of the original 1987 CDs: the sound and artwork ...

Music has occasionally been born of a couple of friends playing both new and familiar songs in a relaxed setting. Words that are often used to describe the music they make are "natural" or "unaffected." Examples would include John Hartford's Morning Bugle, Hartford, David Grisman, and Mike Seeger's Retrograss, and Tim O'Brien and Darrell Scott's Real Time. The songs on Real Time were recorded in Scott's living room over the period of a week. Both musicians play multiple instruments including banjo, mandolin, guitar, and bouzouki; they also exchange lead vocals and sing some very fine harmony. Both the song choice and songwriting add to this project. Hank Williams'"Weary Blues from Waiting" receives an acoustic revision, with both singers sharing lead vocals and providing affecting harmony. O'Brien sings a charged version of "Little Sadie" driven by Scott's aggressive guitar playing. Part of the beauty of this album is how fresh and vital these traditional ...

Born on the Wasatch Front in the Rocky Mountains, Kevin relocated with his family to Southern California when he was three years old. Growing up in the Southland communities of Bell Gardens and El Toro, his heart never really left the mountains. After watching a local band (made up of classmates from his junior high) perform one day at school, the idea that "guitar players got more chicks than the jocks" became readily apparent.One of Kevin's earliest memories of country music was hearing Roger Miller's "King Of The Road" on an old AM car radio, driving around LA on a rainy day with mom, Barbara, in the family's Ford Comet station wagon. Watching the windshield wipers waving back and forth to the music remains a favorite memory. At the ripe-old age of 13, Kevin started singing, teaching himself how to play guitar and learning how to write songs by listening to the popular music of the time with its many and varied influences. In his tender twenties, Kevin discovered the legendary works of such honky-tonk greats as Hank Williams. When asked about his musical influences, Kevin will tell you, "It was, ol' Hank, Lefty, Faron, Webb, Wynn, Ernest, Buck, George, and Merle who taught me how to sing a real country song."Recent inspirations include the likes of Dwight Yoakam, and his West Coast country creativity (sometimes associated with the "Bakersfield sound"), David Ball's contemporary "honky-tonk," and singer/songwriters Radney Foster and Heather Miles; real "working" cowboys, like singer Dave Stamey and yodeler Wylie Gustafson (Wylie & The Wild West); and, of course, George Strait and Alan Jackson for being quintessential "gentlemen" country singers; and local Texas favorites Dale Watson, The Derailers and Asleep At The Wheel for carrying on the tradition. Kevin's first taste of the stage came in such world-famous honky-tonks as The Palomino Club in North Hollywood, The Crazy Horse Steak House & Saloon in Santa Ana, quickly moving on to other well known regional venues as The Coach House and Galaxy theaters, The Troubadour, and numerous dancehalls and honky-tonks all across the Southern and Central regions of California. In 1998, and again in 2001, Kevin appeared as a featured vocalist in the city of Laguna Beach's world renowned production of "The Pageant Of The Masters" (an art from known as Tableau Vivants), fronting a 40-piece orchestra singing country and cowboy tunes for over 60 straight nights, performing for more than 150,000 people per season. Two of Kevin's songs from his debut album, "King Of The Thrift Store Cowboys" went to #5 and #12 on the European Independent radio charts, and five songs from it were used in three different ...
