Eastern Terrace is the Sand Pebbles' convincing full length debut. Clocking in at 43 minutes, split halfway between neo-psychedelic songs and soundtrack rock instrumentals, this CD refrains from overdoing it, presenting a clear image of the group. The presence of a (very fine) cover version of Julian Cope's "Out of My Mind on Dope and Speed" is not an innocent move. This group has clear Krautrock influences (listen to "The Sundowner" for a one-chord extended jam) and an appetite for catchy melodies -- two defining characteristics of Cope's songs. For "My Sensation" and "Dirty," singer Andrew Tanner adopts a falsetto that strangely evokes the Rolling Stones on "Miss You." In these and "Moving Too Fast," the group displays their pop sense. Aerial guitars and a medium tempo may not be enough to make these songs stand out, but they give them an interesting modern-day psychedelic flavor. The album is capped by two nine-minute instrumentals, "The Sundowner" and "Charmed." The first one lays down a simple, addictive, and slightly annoying melody over a one-chord vamp (hey, Can used to do the same). Its drum loop sounds a bit awkward, as it is the only appearance of such a trick and feels unnecessary. On the other hand, the second instrumental is five-star neo-psychedelism with a soft Yo la Tengo influence. A good debut overall. ~ François Couture

Purchase Eastern Terrace CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Dirty Three In The Fishtank CD (2004) Extended Play
Eastern Terrace album
 $9.65 
In late 1999, the Dutch label KonKurrent invited Minneapolis band Low into an in-house studio to record one of the label's near-legendary In the Fishtank sessions; bands have two days to record between 20-30 minutes of all new material of their choosing. Also touring at the time were Low's pals, the Australian instrumental dynamos the Dirty Three. Low invited them in, and in the same collaborative spirit as another In the Fishtank session involving Tortoise and the Ex, this half-hour session is the document. What is truly amazing about this hookup ...

| | Harold Mabern Few Miles From Memphis CD (1968)
Eastern Terrace music CDs
$14.15
On A Few Miles from Memphis, recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968, he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for a bluesy, rhythm-filled set featuring familiar fare like "A Treat for Bea" and fun originals like "Walkin' Back." There's also the odd inclusion of "There's a Kind of Hush," a pop song that comes out sounding like an old standard here. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.
When record labels like Prestige release two albums on one CD, it's a great bargain for music fans. A Few Miles from Memphis combines the album of the same name and Rakin' and Scrapin', both recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968. On the first set he's ...
| | Solomon Burke That's Heavy Baby 1971-1973 CD (2005) (Import) Australia
Eastern Terrace songs
$19.99
Raven presents the very best of Solomon Burke's recordings for MGM in the 1970s, many on CD for the first time. A pioneering soul singer, Burke's powerful voice and fervent emotionality were much-admired through the 1960s. At MGM, with arranger Gene Page, Solomon deftly crafted a commercial and contemporary sound - both urban pop ballads and rhythmic hymns to black empowerment, all framed around his impassioned voice. Using fractured, multi-layered ...
| | Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Eastern Terrace album
$17.79
Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one of Ike & Tina's best-known songs so it's an appropriate ...
