 (1 Customer Review)
This 1968 outing by the British psychedelic-rock group Nirvana includes "Tiny Goddess," "Trapeze," and "Frankie the Great."
Nirvana's second album was dainty period British pop-psychedelia, falling on the lightest shade of that category that could be imagined. For some adventurous pop fans, few higher recommendations could be concocted. For most 1960s collectors, though, it's fair to say that it's too precious and insubstantial to qualify as a major work. Their most well-known song, "Rainbow Chaser," leads off, with its prominent phasing effects; "Tiny Goddess," one of their best ballads, comes next. The rest of the album doesn't measure up to those two tracks, with pretty but not compelling melodies (sometimes reminiscent of, but not in the same class as, Paul McCartney) and orchestration that, like the songs themselves, seem to tiptoe for fear of being too forceful. The overall result is too saccharine, and occasionally even childish. ~ Richie Unterberger

All Of Us album
 $9.35  
One of the Canterbury scene's most revered bands, Hatfield and the North made up for the brevity of their career with some fascinating music. Always adventurous, the quartet had the keen sense to realize that only the most hardened jazz fans respond to numerous key changes and exceedingly complex time signatures, and thus enlivened ...

All Of Us CD music
$9.19
Hatfield and the North's second LP stands as a high watermark for the prog rock associated with England's Canterbury scene and, while filled with stunning musicianship, demonstrates both the strengths and some of the weaknesses of the Hatfield style. Dave Stewart on keyboards, Phil Miller on guitar, Richard Sinclair on bass and vocals, and Pip Pyle on drums (supplemented by a few guest instrumentalists and the ever-ethereal Northettes with their "la la" backing vocals) generally show an admirable sense of restraint and, like their Canterbury peers, are careful to avoid the pomposity and bombast of better-known prog rockers of the era, such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer ...
| | Christopher CD (1970)
All Of Us music CDs
$13.99
From the psychedelic tribal blues opener "Dark Road" through to the end of the album, Christopher shows just how strong the second-level psychedelia of the late '60s could be. There was no shortage of great musicians hailing from Texas during the era, and the ones who remained in the state were forming some of the most idiosyncratic bands of the swirling, inventive times: top-flight bands such as Thirteenth Floor Elevators, Lost & Found, the Golden Dawn, and Christopher. Christopher, though, cannot exactly be lumped together with those peers. They had to leave Texas for California to make their mark, and indeed, Christopher owes a good deal to the music of that state -- songs such as "Magic Cycles" ...

All Of Us CD music
$12.79
THE STORY OF SIMON SIMOPATH, the 1967 debut from U.K. band Nirvana (not to be confused with Kurt Cobain's influential grunge group), is perhaps the first-ever pop concept record, and it has now been digitally remastered.
This edition includes both the original mono mix and the previously unreleased stereo mix, along with these four bonus tracks: "I Believe in Magic," "Feelin' Shattered," and "Requiem to John Coltrane" (all B-side singles), and an alternate mix of "Life Ain't Easy."
One of the most entertaining things to do on websites that allow customer reviews of CDs is read the apoplectic fury Kurt Cobain's fans have for the original Nirvana, the cultily-adored British psych-pop group from the late '60s. Much ...
| | Who Face Dances CD (1981) Bonus Tracks
All Of Us music CDs
$6.49 
Originally released in March 1981, FACE DANCES was the Who's first album following the death of the group's original drummer, Keith Moon. He was replaced by Kenney Jones of the Small Faces.
Principally recorded at Odyssey Studios, London, England from June-December 1980.
The Who's first album of the '80s and their first without drum maniac Keith Moon was viewed with cynicism by many longtime Who fans, who declared the band a dead issue. In fact, FACE DANCES was arguably the band's last aesthetically successful album. The reckless abandon of the Moon era was irretrievable, but the Who's sound was maturing all along, and Moon's madness fit Townshend's mature, sophisticated tunes less and less. FACE DANCES is no bland-out, but the band mines the subtle end of their dynamic range more extensively and successfully than ever before.
With the advancing years, the tension between ...

| | Sundowner Four One Five Two CD (2007)
All Of Us CD music
$9.69
Sundowner is basically Chris McCaughan and an acoustic guitar, so it's unsurprising that his debut as such, Four One Five Two, sounds almost like an acoustic Lawrence Arms album minus those other two guys. The introspection that's always marked McCaughan's songs for the Lawrence Arms arrives in spades here, but this, his spotlight showcase as a songwriter, is backed by stripped-down arrangements instead of rapid-fire punk rock. A few guests show up, most notably fellow Chicagoan Jenny Choi, who's previously worked with people like Mike Park; her sweet voice and mournful cello add a certain fullness to the proceedings (though a very subtle one at that), especially heard in songs like "This War Is Noise" and the Old Style-soaked, aching nostalgia of "Jackson Underground." Four One Five Two is an inherently likeable and unassuming album perfect for fans of McCaughan's main gig who want ...
