Soundtrack English A 1940s pulp fiction hero comes to life in this light-hearted action-adventure. When a girl is abducted by white slavers, her sister turns to Jake Speed, star of a popular serial adventure series, for help. Together they write the latest chapter in Speed's hair-raising career as the fearless duo travels to exotic Africa to rescue the kidnapped girl. Jake Speed, defender of justice, is on a new mission. He must save a kidnapped girl from the clutches of a greedy "white slaver." The funny thing is, as far as anybody knows, Jake Speed is purely a fictional character. But that doesn't stop the kidnapped girl's grandfather from placing the call and getting Speed on the case. Jake Speed Reviews: "...JAKE SPEED, A cross between ROMANCING THE STONE and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and a whole lot more that vein, is fun..."

Jake Speed video
 $6.49   
Following the platinum success of SLOWHAND, BACKLESS continued Eric Clapton's transformation into a singer/songwriter with better-than-average chops after a lifetime of guitar godhood. Eschewing the star-studded cameos of NO REASON TO CRY, Clapton instead relied on his core group of the '70s: George Terry, Carl Radle, Jamie Oldaker, Dick Simms and Marcy Levy. Levy in particular, proved her worth by co-writing the slide-drenched "Roll It" with Slowhand. Her passionate testifying on this as well as her sparkling harmonies on the Don Williams-influenced "Promises" made up for fellow back-up singer Yvonne Elliman's departure following SLOWHAND's release.
Clapton's choice of composers to cover included Dylan ("Walk Out In The Rain," "If I Don't Be There By Morning"), J.J. Cale ("I'll Make Love To You Anytime") and Okie Danny Flowers ("Tulsa Time"). In addition, Slowhand added a nearly eight-minute interpretation of the blues standard "Early In The Morning" that finds him milking his mojo for all its worth. But it's ...
| | Ativin Summing The Approach CD (1999)
Jake Speed film
$9.59
Some eight years since Slint's Spiderland forever altered the indie-rock landscape, it's arguable that any valid derivations can still be fashioned from its blueprints. To be sure, Ativin's members never denied Slint's influence on their music. But over the course of an EP, a single and a full-length album, Ativin moved well beyond the pummelling soft-to-loud transitions of Slint and toward a highly distinctive blend of treated, interlocked guitar grooves, firm rhythmic manuevers and electronically-enhanced atmospheres.
All of these elements are served at precisely the right temperature on Summing The Approach, a posthumous four-song EP recorded by Steve Albini that serves as a satisfying final chapter to the Ativin novella. Summing does not abandon the calling cards of 1998's dreamy German Water.
But it does mark a return to Ativin's more awkward side, especially on "Cy," which moves through several distinct sections with little regard for the listener's sense of balance. After an off-kilter intro, the band locks into a great, ...

$7.29 
Prefuse 73 aka Scott Herren is one of Warp's biggest artists with his debut from 2001 selling steady. This release shows a more self-assured creator expanding his palette and honing his craft. This is creative hip hop for the intelligent and curious.
At first listen, the 92 Vs. 02 EP sounds like Prefuse 73 has gone out to pasture and returned with something ...

| | Edge: David Axelrod At Capitol Records 1966-1971 CD (2005)
Jake Speed video
$11.89
EMI in Great Britain reissued David Axelrod's three albums for Capitol in fine editions on both vinyl and CD at the end of the 1990s. Fantasy issued its own retrospective, The Axelrod Chronicles, in 2000. Blue Note is finally getting its act together here by taking a look at the work Axelrod did as both a producer and artist with Capitol from 1966-1970. The Edge is not perfect, but for 17 tracks it does give a halfway decent look at the wide range of projects and artists Axe worked with, despite the album's aesthetic inconsistency. Some of the most compelling of these are the tracks with actor David McCallum on vocals -- who played Robert Vaughn's sidekick Ilya Kuryakin in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. -- Axelrod produced four albums for him. "House of Mirrors," is a way tripped-out psychedelic piece with vocals Echoplexed to the max. The title cut is an instrumental that is all dreamy shimmering flute, vibes, guitars, and a horn section for drama. There is also a cut here from the South African artist Letta Mbulu, complete with a thunderstorm as an intro. Spacey, drifty, it's utterly beautiful with spare percussion and Mbulu's haunting voice sensing in her native tongue. Or course Lou Rawls is represented here with a monologue and his burning ...
