 (1 Customer Review)
From the intriguing opening sound textures of SGNL>05, one wouldn't imagine that this gentle stream would evolve into a grand work of nu-metal mastery. Here, Isis weaves a beautiful tapestry of lilted piano set deep into the mix of a windswept field recording, but it doesn't take long for the band to turn the world on its ear. SGNL>05, a five-track EP, is the extension of the earlier Celestial record. Lead vocalist and guitarist Aaron Turner's growl may sound cliché in this form, but SGNL>05 quickly proves that it isn't the work of some bored, depressed high school band. Rather, it's an intensely emotional and intelligent piece of theatrical metal music. Tribal influences leak in on "Divine Mother" as the sounds are drawn out in epic proportions. Synthesizers flit about in the background and noise paints the rest of the very stormy picture. The seething guitars of Turner and Mike Gallagher trudge onward in a jarring, direct, and tight fashion. Though tracks like "Beneath Below" and "Constructing Towers" do tend to get a bit repetitive, the album on the whole is quite succinct and impacting. Rarely do industrial rock records take listeners on such a journey as this. Sounds ebb and flow, creating lush textures, only to be met with the most excruciating instrumentation that eventually culminates in a beautiful, multi-layered ambient recording. That final track, a remix of the original "Celestial (Signal Fills the Void)" by Justin K. Broadrick (of Godflesh), serves as a darkly mechanical ending to this fine EP. ~ Ken Taylor

Sublime's music and lifestyle were unique in their time, as the band celebrated both the irreverence of punk sans anger and political hang-ups, and the mellow party spirit embodied by the hippie generation sans philosophical baggage and ridiculous outfits. In this regard, they can be seen as an important bridge between the mainstream alternative rock scene of the 1980s and the jam band explosion of the '90s. As such, the group's influence has extended to an unusually wide cross-section of bands. Combining rock, reggae, ska, folk, and rap, Sublime's genre-mixing and good-time attitude had much in common with many of the acts represented here, making this collection a true celebration rather than a cheap cash-in. The best tracks are those that the artists choose to make their own: Fishbone's "Date Rape" takes the original's hyper pogo groove and kicks it up several crazed notches, while Jack Johnson puts his unique surfer stamp on "Badfish: ...

On their newest release, The Good Times Are Killing Me, The Twin City Playboys are taking their country roots in a more organic and deliberately classic direction. The straightforward early country sound of this album is lush in it’s decidedly sparse landscape as it transports you to the honky-tonks and roadhouses of way-back-when with the time-honored traditions of combining the distinct sounds of those backcountry guitars, the emotive fiddle, the undeniable charm of pedal and lap steel and pianoEver since Kevin Anthony moved to Minneapolis from his hometown of Galveston, Texas, his upbringing along that rich musical history of the American gulf shores has been a huge influence. Since his relocation, he has managed to become a part of the Twin Cities areas own Country and Cajun scene, fueled and nurtured over the years by the Mississippi’s connection to the south. He has also started his own label, 409 Recordings, named for the Galveston area code. Still in its infancy with three releases under its belt, the first being The Twin City Playboys’ last release, Texas Memories, the second being the just-released local compilation Twin City Two Step: Cajun & Zydeco Music from Minneapolis/St. Paul Volume 1and now it’s third with The Good Times are Killing Me, this is a definite local label to watch.Where their last album, Texas Memories, embraced their Cajun and Texas roots with its accordion flourishes and more upbeat tones, there are so many reasons this more traditional country route works for them just as well as the Cajun and Texas themes did on their previous effort. The vocals of Kevin Anthony are filled with warmth, while his singing ...
