| | El-P Fandam Plus: Instrumentals, Remixes, Lyrics And Video CD El-P Discography of CDs
Much as his work with Cannibal Ox proved before, El-P is truly one of music's most innovative, idiosyncratic producers, fusing the blunt crudeness of early-'80s hip-hop with the futuristic sweep and experimentation of progressive pioneers like Brian Eno and Can. Fandam Plus, a two-disc set that compiles instrumentals from his solo debut, Fantastic Damage, as well as remixes, demonstrates El-P's truly unusual talents. The instrumentals are especially powerful. Stripped of their vocals, they reveal new dimensions to what were previously only backing tracks. "Deep Space 9mm" and "Truancy" sound truly creepy and unnerving here, while "Dead Disnee" becomes even funnier with only the chirpy chorus vocals left. The second disc, which contains some remixes and enhanced content, is not quite as interesting. The remixes are enjoyable enough, but don't really add to or radically alter the music, so they really only prove how impressive El-P's original work was to begin with. (The second disc also contains enhanced content, mainly videos and lyrics.) It may seem strange to consider an instrumental hip-hop album as essential listening, but Fandam Plus is so experimental and inventive that it should appeal to more than just El-P fans. ~ Victor W. Valdivia

Fandam Plus: Instrumentals, Remixes, Lyrics And Video
$11.99 "()" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and for Best Recording Package. Set the controls for the heart of the sun: Sigur Rós had another baby and they named it ( ). It's just as excessive in length as its elder siblings, it's just as precious and almost as over-the-top sounding, and it's artfully packaged with next to no information provided -- no photo collage from the triumphant world tour, no acknowledgments of the supportive Reykjavik massive. No track titles are present, either -- the band has made them known, but obviously not through the traditional route. Whatever the issues with this record, musical or not, ( ) will only further repel the detractors. Despite the fact that it arrives three years after Agaetis Byrjun's original release, there are only adjustments -- no significant developments -- in the group's sound. ...

Adapter: Tommy Makem. Personnel: Tommy Makem (pennywhistle); Eric Weissberg (guitar, banjo). Editor: Roger Kash. Arranger: Tommy Makem. In a rare instance of Tommy Makem stepping away from the Clancy Brothers, this set had him collaborating with guitarist and banjo player Eric Weissberg to good effect. The sparse arrangements help to bring out the qualities of the tunes themselves, with some of the traditional songs getting very dramatic readings. It remains a shame that Makem did not step out on his own more often. ~ Steven McDonald In Tommy Makem's first solo effort from 1961, his ability to create compelling renditions of Irish folk classics ...
