Music for a Meteor Shower is the fruit of two improvised sessions between indie rockers Tara Jane O'Neil (Rodan, Retsin, the Sonora Pine) and Dan Littleton (Ida). The effort is primarily instrumental and based around guitar, often going for redundant ambience rather than any kind of structured excursions. The results, while interesting and perhaps useful as soundtrack pieces, seem to hardly warrant release as an album. "Talking in the Kitchen," for example, seems to test the patience of the listener, with an acoustic guitar figure plucked repetitively throughout. The song is perhaps an interesting idea -- in that it plays on the listener's expectations and, despite itself, creates a feeling of suspense -- but "ideas" don't always make for engaging musical listening. Other tracks, "Juliette," for example, plunge headlong into willful avant-gardisms that can become discordant and grating. The ambience on this album can be strikingly emotionless and cold at times. ~ Erik Hage

Solo careers and outside interests halted the Sea and Cake's momentum late in the '90s, but each time the quartet returns it's a boon for anyone who enjoys clean, efficient indie rock -- a potential fan base ranging from Saint Etienne to Lambchop to Belle & Sebastian. Only the band's second record in the past five years, One Bedroom updates a previously trademarked sound only slightly; the usual drum shuffles are occasionally replaced by the indie version of a dance beat (usually an under-performing drum machine or samples), while Sam Prekop refines his breathy, upper-register vocals and abstract songwriting with an eye to pop music. The opener, "Four Corners," sets it off with a special grace, floating in on a wave of sublime synth ...
| | Friends Of Dean Martinez On The Shore CDs (2003)
Music For A Meteor Shower songs
$10.39
A sprawling, two-disc set, On the Shore continues the direction set by Atardecer and A Place in the Sun, and collects more of the group's sweeping, steel-guitar driven instrumentals. The first disc compiles tracks from two European albums from 2001, Wichita Lineman and Live at Club 2, and plays up the pensive, drifting side of their sound, while the second disc, which features newly recorded material, and emphasizes the band's edgier, jazzier side. Much has been made of Friends of Dean Martinez's "filmic" sound, and the group cleverly sends up their reputation by starting and ending each disc of On the Shore with the sound of a film projector running. While this does tie together the album's rather disparate material together somewhat, the two discs remain distinctly different: Aside from the relatively ...
| | John Fahey Red Cross CD (2003) Limited Edition
Music For A Meteor Shower album
$15.39
Contains an untitled hidden track following "Untitled With Rain".
Recorded between 2000 & 2001. Includes liner notes by Glenn Jones.
Red Cross is the last consciously recorded 'new' John Fahey record. Intended for release in 2001 but met with delays following his ill health (and eventual death), Red Cross bookends an important discography, to say the least. In a manner perhaps typical of Fahey, this collection of self-produced pieces ends his career on a note both simple and probing. Ultimately, though, the prevailing tone is one of peaceful resolution and it is this feeling above all others that lends this session its haunting beauty. For the first time in years, we hear Fahey, ...

What do you get when you combine Damon Albarn, singer for Britpop superstars Blur, with hip-hop producer Dan The Automator? Gorillaz, silly! Albarn takes a busman's holiday and avails himself of the opportunity to take the kind of sonic risks one would be unlikely to find on a Blur album. This isn't hip-hop or dance music ...
