Re-issued in 2008, Jim O'Rourke's early three-song album, TAMPER, has come to be regarded as one of his finest. It is certainly exemplary of his early work's balance of electro-acoustic explorations with more traditional indie-rock structures, as well as of an oeuvre that helped define the dubious moniker "post-rock." TAMPER (1991) finds O'Rourke processing and manipulating traditional instruments to the point where they're almost entirely unrecognizable. It's a pleasant, calming record for the most part, though for discerning ears it becomes quite challenging if one were to try to guess the origin of each sound. TAMPER foreshadows the ground that O'Rourke would explore later in his career in his solo output as well as in Gastr Del Sol and Sonic Youth. Not as alienating as some of his work, this early album stands as a solid introduction to the composer's hefty catalog.
Composer: Jim O'Rourke.
Personnel: Jim O'Rourke (guitar, cello, oboe, percussion, electronics); Warren Fischer (violin); Sue Wolf (cello); Jeff Cortazzo (bass trombone).
Recording information: 1989-1990.The Wire (p.55) - "Even at his most experimental, O'Rourke is drawn towards melody. The three pieces on Tamper are all based on drones. However, in each case he adds compositional elements that gives overall structure." Jim O'Rourke Tamper Songs | 1. | Spirits Never Forgive |
| 2. | He Felt the Patient Memory of a Reluctant Sea |

Purchase Tamper CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Alice Cooper Love It To Death CD (1971) Gold
Tamper album
 $18.74  
Whereas Alice Cooper's first two studio albums, 1969's PRETTIES FOR YOU and 1970's EASY ACTION, tended more towards the trippy excesses of the hippie era, their next one, 1971's LOVE IT TO DEATH introduced the world to the heavy sound that Cooper would soon be taking to the top. With the invaluable production assistance of future Pink Floyd/Lou Reed cohort Bob Ezrin, LOVE IT TO DEATH proved Alice Cooper's first truly great album, and served as their commercial breakthrough.
That staple of teen alienation, "I'm Eighteen," is the most iconic cut, but every single ...
| | Joe Walsh Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get CD (1973) Gold
Tamper CD music
$18.74 
"Rocky Mountain Way," the tune that opens Joe Walsh's sophomore release (and remains one of his best-known songs), is a textbook example of Walsh's strengths. The song is driven by a slinky hard rock groove that boasts crunchy, distorted guitars, barrelhouse piano, wiry solos, and a catchy, singalong chorus--proving Walsh's penchant for mixing rock elements and radio-ready accessibility with a sense of wit and fun. The rest of SMOKER YOU DRINK, PLAYER YOU GET follows suit, with the mid-tempo rock ballad "Bookends," the bouncy, Latin-tinged "Happy Ways," and the airy, wistful "Dreams" ...

| | The Very Best Of Enya CDs (2009) With DVD
Tamper songs
$21.00
Comprised of 18 tracks culled from the singer/composer's first three decades, The Very Best of Enya was pieced together by the artist herself, along with longtime collaborators Nicky and Roma Ryan. Luckily, the trio seems enamored by most of the same songs that the general public is, resulting in one of those rare "greatest-hits" collections that goes deep without depriving the listener of the essentials. With tunes like "Orinoco Flow," "Caribbean Blue," and "Book of Days" in the pot and out of the way, it's easier to appreciate hidden gems like "Cursum Perficio," "Boadicea," "Trains and Winter Rains," and "Anywhere Is." Also notable is the inclusion of "May It Be" and a previously unreleased version of "Aníron (I Desire)," both of which originally appeared on the soundtrack for the first chapter of Peter Jackson's beloved Lord of the Rings trilogy. ~ James Christopher Monger

| | Black Eyed Peas E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies) CD (2009)
Tamper album
$9.99 
Black Eyed Peas, the hip-hop crossover juggernaut that propelled singer Fergie and producer Will.I.Am to superstardom, have, since 2003's ELEPHUNK, been audaciously plugging away at their bombastic but lighthearted style of rap-cum-dance pop--an effort that has translated to a run of successful chart-topping singles including "My Humps," "Pump It," and "Don't Phunk with My Heart." Eager to follow up on the platinum-selling success of 2005's MONKEY BUSINESS, Black Eyed Peas have returned with THE E.N.D. (an acronym for "Energy Never Dies"), their third studio effort. Combining Will.I.Am's thumping 808 kick drum-infused ...

| | Bugs Henderson That's The Truth CD (1995) Import
Tamper songs
$23.29
Bugs Henderson splashes a warning on the inside sleeve for anyone who might not know the drill: "This is not elevator music. Crank it up!" There are no overdubs, no re-takes, and no fancy tricks on this live recording, captured on five consecutive nights in November 1994 in various clubs in Colorado. If you've never seen Henderson live, this is as close as one will likely come to hearing what he is capable of when he begins playing his trademark red Paul Reed Smith guitar. Accompanied only by his son Buddy Henderson on drums and Keith Jones on bass, the artist gives you fast instrumentals, slow blues, heavy rock, slow rock, boogies, and everything in between. There's amplifier hum and feedback, whistling fans, and songs more than ten minutes long. One of just two covers, "Johnny B. Goode" is unlike any version heard before. It starts out with a bass solo, and then Henderson comes in with flying guitar effects. Three minutes pass before he even begins to sing. On "You Can't Sit Down," Henderson goes all out, demonstrating why he is the guitar hero he has become to followers. The center section of the song, a full three minutes, is all Henderson; a true guitar solo -- he goes it alone, no bass or drums. He ...
