| | Awesome CD - Import
This comp actually is pretty awesome. Munich Records must be some sort of European licensing way station for American indie folksters and the like, as the dudes that appear here have more connections to the Lone Star State than the entire Bush family. Centro-Matic, the Centro side project South San Gabriel, Denton's noisy Baptist Generals, and Austin roots maestros the Gourds -- all contribute strong stuff. There's also a scary dirge from Johnny Dowd called "Stumble and Fall," the splotchy folk-tronica of Virgil Shaw's "Twisted Layer," and more Texas connections with songwriter Damon Bramblett. Recommended. ~ Johnny Loftus Awesome Review

$11.89 BY A THREAD is Gov't Mule's first studio album since HIGH & MIGHTY was issued in 2006. Since that time, bassist Andy Hess has been replaced by Jorgen Carlsson, though Hess appears on two tracks at the end of the album. Carlsson's playing style is much more aggressive than Hess', and is therefore closer - in spirit anyway - to Gov't Mule's original bassist, the late Allen Woody, though he possesses ...

Awesome songs
$8.69 MESSENGER is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Edwin McCain is not flashy, nor does he wish to be. He is perfectly content with writing folk-tinged ballads and mildly anthemic, midtempo rockers, much like his labelmates and fellow South Carolinians Hootie & the Blowfish. Whereas Hootie broke down the commercial doors for this breed of heartland rock, McCain simply follows the path, winding up where Hootie was after Cracked Rear View -- namely, with a solid collection of no-frills rock, one that pleases without being particularly memorable, outside of a handful of singles. He was that way from the first, and his third effort, Messenger, is no different apart from the subtle differences -- stylish, radio-ready production from Matt Serletic (a veteran of Matchbox 20 and Collective Soul) and stronger overall songcraft from McCain. These subtle differences ...

| | Iggy And The Stooges Search & Destroy CD (2004) (Import) United Kingdom
Awesome music CDs
$15.25 SEARCH AND DESTROY contains alternate studio takes of early Iggy & The Stooges songs.
Although the Stooges only got around to issuing a total of three records during their short but colorful career, there is an overabundance of outtakes sets on the market -- most of which zero in on the Raw Power era. This material has been repackaged an insanely high number of times over the years, and in 1999, the Cleopatra label issued another similarly styled set, Search and Destroy (The Detroit Studio Out-Takes). The Stooges had penned quite a bit of material around this time, most of which apparently did not make it onto Raw Power -- most tracks were probably going to appear on a projected fourth album. But with the majority of its members sinking into drug addiction, the group was dropped from its label, and broke up in 1974. But tapes of tracks that were never properly recorded in the studio survived, and you get some of the better-known compositions here ("Open Up and Bleed," "Johanna," "Rubber Legs"), as well as several that are quite uncommon ("Till the End of the Night," "She Creatures of the Hollywood Hills"). Most of these songs are available elsewhere in slightly better-sounding versions, as all the renditions here are recorded at rehearsals on what sounds like a boom box (not professionally). Also, you'll find run-throughs of a few songs that did make it onto Raw Power -- "Search and Destroy," "Raw Power," "Gimme Danger," etc. If it's rare versions (and not prime sound quality) of Stooges outtakes that you're after, then Search and Destroy will do the trick. ~ Greg Prato
Iggy Pop & the Stooges post-Raw Power recordings have been released in so many different forms by so many different label, both legit and bootleg, that's it's nearly impossible to tell which collections are good ones. While it's far from perfect, Cleopatra's Search & Destroy: The Detroit Studio Out-Takes is one of the better collections, at least among those released on CD in the late '90s. The most frustrating thing about the collection is that it relies a little too heavily on reworkings of Raw Power material at the sake of unreleased songs. Then again, these versions, while not radically different, are so brutal and raw, that they're worth hearing by any dedicated Pop fan. Similarly, the unreleased songs are simply vicious, with "Rubber Legs," "Johanna," "Cock in My Pocket," "Born in a Trailer" and "She Creatures of the Hollywood Hills" standing as some of their greatest work. This music may not be as flat-out noisy and chaotic as Fun House, but in many ways, these unreleased sessions and outtakes ...
