From the outside looking in, without having heard the music, it seems like Erlend Oye's intent with Unrest was to make an album that defined the antithesis of cohesion. First, there's the title. Second, there's the way this album came together: ten songs from ten cities -- from Berlin to Brooklyn to Barcelona -- with as many producers. And yet, Unrest is as uniform as an album can be, made up of three- to four-minute songs full of somber hooks that can be loosely categorized as very modern synth pop. Everything fits together so ideally that each of the producers (including Prefuse 73, Soviet, Morgan Geist, Schneider TM, and Mr. Velcro Fastener) must have been guided in some form by Oye, who lends his melancholy but confident voice to every song. Most everything is soft focus, slightly downcast, and heavily reliant upon mid-tempo rhythms that are danceable; however, this is definitely a home-listening album, or one that would also work well during a plane or train trip. The amount of time Oye spent traveling from city to city fosters that dimension of the album. He certainly owes a debt his producers, because each one seems to use a similar set of guidelines to come up with tracks that have distinct personalities. The opening "Ghost Trains," produced by Metro Area's Morgan Geist, has a half-Depeche Mode/half-D Train synth hook that stays imbedded in your memory; Mr. Velcro Fastener's turn on "Symptom of Disease" is based on a deep, melodic, adroit rhythm; "The Talk," recorded with Björn Torske, features elements of Chicago house (that lovely piano skip) and Dayton funk (the zapping synth bass), along with the type of vocal turn that wins over those who value a good collision of songcraft and dance-pop. Save for the unfortunate hip-hop slip-up of "Prego Amore," this is an excellent set of mellow electronic pop. ~ Andy Kellman

CD $18.95
Tejano band Tortilla Factory started out in the mid-1970s, but 35 years later, founder Tony "Ham" Guerrero is keeping the tradition alive with a revamped version of the band. Their Grammy-nominated 2008 album, ALL THAT JAZZ, accordingly keeps one foot in the old Tejano world and one in the new; while tracks like "El Poderoso" and "El Papalote" tread traditional Norteno-style territory, other cuts display the inffuence of jazz, R&B, funk, and Anglo pop, as channeled through Guerrero and Company's distinctive Tejano sensibilities. He's Spent A Lifetime bringing Tejano to the MassesAustin American STATESMAN Sunday, August 17, 2008 If you want to know what a paradox looks like, take a gander at Tony Guerrero. Known as \"Ham\" to his friends, Guerrero has been all around the Texas music scene as a performer, arranger, manager - whatever needed doing, he did it. But unless you\'re a devotee of the genre known generally as Tejano music, you\'ve probably never heard of him. Even so, Guerrero has sold a ton of records and rubbed artistic shoulders with giants over the course of a career that spans four decades. Like so many other musicians, Guerrero gravitated to Austin after a career that started out in San Angelo. That\'s right, he\'s a homey. In the 1970s, Guerrero\'s band Tortilla Factory was a hot ticket despite limited promotion and airplay. At 64, his health is failing. He needs a kidney transplant. A little thing like that, however, doesn\'t dull Guerrero\'s devotion to a unique genre of Texas music influenced by Mexican, jazz, big band, country, R&B and rock \'n\' roll. You can argue about what Tejano music is exactly, but there is no arguing that Tejano musicians had to learn a variety of styles and rhythms because their audiences demanded it. The people who bought their records and paid to dance to the music live embraced Little Richard as well as Little Joe. The result is a musical expression of Texas Chicano attitude with lots of horns. Though their fans loved them, critics and radio stations generally ignored them. Even the programs with a Latino play list generally snubbed Tejano music and still do - a source of tension between Mexican Americans and radio stations aimed at Mexican immigrants. It all brings to mind the lyrics to \"I Dig Rock and Roll Music\": \"I think I could say somethin\' if you know what I mean / But if I really say it, the radio won\'t play it ... \" Even if the radio didn\'t play it, that unique style of music took root and flourished. Guerrero is seeking to revive the magic that Tortilla Factory conjured back in the \'70s. He\'s produced one CD and just released \"All That Jazz.

\" He even lured Bobby Butler, known as \"El Charro Negro\" back into the game. An African American, Butler sings Chicano ...
