 (2 Customer Reviews)
Aerosmith surprised everyone when their 1987 album, PERMANENT VACATION, was a success, coming as it did after several releases that had done nothing but verify the belief that the band had peaked a decade earlier. PUMP (1989) followed its radio-friendly predecessor and proved the Boston quintet's comeback was no fluke. Hits like "Love in an Elevator" and "Janie's Got a Gun" were ubiquitous on MTV and radio at the time, while the album in its entirety had enough substance to warrant repeated listens. "What it Takes" closes the album and finds the band showing off their deft power-ballad abilities, while carefully straddling the line of cheese without ever succumbing to it. Aerosmith would sustain their commercial success with the subsequent GET A GRIP, but it would not contain the same balance of artistic and populist intent that puts PUMP amongst their best records.

Q (4/01, p.92) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...Aerosmith stay clean and conquer the world. Cover shot of 2 trucks copulating still indicative of silly, sleazy sounds within. Pregnant with hits: 'Love In An Elevator', 'Janie's Got A Gun', 'The Other Side'."

| | Tony Joe White Dangerous/Eyes CD (2003) (Import) Australia
Pump music CDs
$20.05
Raven released Tony Joe White's 1976 album Eyes and his 1983 record Dangerous as a two-fer early in 2003 (on the front and back cover, it's rather ingeniously called Dangerous Eyes, but the spine lists it as a straight two-fer, complete with Eyes arriving first in proper chronological order). Eyes was released on 20th Century and has never appeared on CD prior to this; Dangerous was released on CD in the U.S. in 2001. Even though seven years separate these two records and even though his 1980 release for Casablanca, Real Thang, is skipped, the pairing still makes some sense, since both records find White stretching out from his trademark sound and delving headfirst into disco. Eyes, in particular, is an anomaly, a largely disco album that sounds closer to Boz Scaggs than Tony Joe White, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, since White's voice suits the stylish groove well and it's appealing on the surface. Eyes is deliberately a love album -- the word appears in half of the song titles ...
| | Confuse Yr Idols: A Tribute To Sonic Youth CD (2004)
Pump songs
$9.05
Sonic Youth's mind-blowing legacy as both sonic adventurers and literate, sick-talented songwriters can't be accurately covered in the space of one disc. Narnack Records obviously understands this. Instead of issuing just-another-tribute or a detailed but kinda boring career survey, the NYC imprint celebrates Sonic Youth's spirit with an appreciation by and for those already in the know. In other words, it's as wildly inventive and weirdly cracked as the band it fetes. Confuse Yr Idols clicks into gear with a squelchy, psycho-ecstasy version of "Death Valley '69" (courtesy of Racebannon) that should scare off any casual listeners wandering in from SY's flirtations with reality. For that matter, "Kool Thing" -- arguably its most recognizable song -- here is handled by indie rock collagists Tub Ring. The re-version cuts between punk discordance, lounge music, and what might be a party metal influence; best is the famous Kim Gordon/Chuck D breakdown, handled as a conversation between Chuck and a robot. Word up. Still, it's not all insanity. New Grenada is more straightforward with their run through "Eric's Trip," and Elf Power's "Kotton Krown" keeps the coed harmony, but loses the whining dissonance in favor of acoustic guitars and an Eastern-tinged breakdown. New York trio Parts & Labor conducts a full-on amplification of "Sugar Kane," from feedback to melody to percussion. Mike Langlie recasts Goo's "Cinderella's ...

| | Shadows Platinum Collection CD (2004)
Pump CD music
$30.29
This CD reissue of a 1987 release finds England's number one instrumental group tackling a batch of old standards in their typical style. Tunes like "Black Is Black," "Stardust," "Ghost Riders in the Sky," "In the Mood," "The Lonely Bull," and "Good Vibrations" get the typical Shadows touch, and the inclusion of old favorites like "Nivram" (lead guitarist's Hank Marvin last name spelled backwards), "Quartermaster's Stores," and "Sacha" (a number one hit in Australia for Marvin as a solo act in 1970) make this a worthy companion to any greatest hits package you might already have on the band. Instrumental fans take note; this one's a good one! ~ Cub Koda
The Shadows only really dominated British pop and rock music for about five years, from late 1958 through 1963, but they've held on to their audience for decades, partly owing to the consistency of their work, especially their singles. This 86-track collection, running 240 minutes, assembles the group's complete singles output from 21 of those years -- and not surprisingly, it's not only pretty good (and sometimes excellent) rock & roll, but also a reflection of some key aspects of British pop/rock and pop culture, and, apart from some early missteps and some late-era predictability, very good listening. The first two songs, "Feelin' Fine" and "Don't Be a Fool (With Love)," cut when the group was still known as the Drifters, are the most unusual tracks here, as they're vocal numbers, recorded before the band recognized that their success apart from lead singer Cliff Richard lay primarily in their instrumental prowess. "Feelin' Fine" is a highly derivative number that sounds like an imitation of Buddy Holly, while ...

The Alegre All-Stars were far too busy having fun to worry whether they were playing jazz or not. Based around the seminal Alegre label, early-'60s dates for this group were the most swinging, inventive, and fun in the recorded history of Latin music. (The wine flowed very freely at these dates, as with their major influence, the Cuban jam sessions released ...
