 (1 Customer Review)
The groundbreaking Japanese electronic music trio Yellow Magic Orchestra initially caused few ripples of excitement when its debut album--complete with computer game bleeps and arch synthesizer renditions of faux-Oriental musical themes set to pointedly fake-sounding R&B rhythms--was released in 1978. The western music cognoscenti were still trying to accommodate the seismic artistic shifts of punk rock.
But in retrospect these purposefully plastic-sounding tracks, particularly the eastern cadences and synthetic funk of "Firecracker," the jazz-fusion of "Tong Poo," and the grinding, George Clinton-influenced "Simoon," foreshadow much of the European electronica-based dance music of the 1980s and '90s, including Depeche Mode, New Order, and the Human League. In addition, the band's fetish for the idiosyncratic sounds of popular computer games of the day demonstrates its perceptive realization that future listeners would one day view these seemingly insignificant sonic twitches as an important part of their formative years.Uncut (3/04, p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[G]alvanising, unabashed, floppy-haired '80s pop, all big hooks and tumbling, boxy electro-rhythms..."

The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues ...

Naughty Boys & Instrumentals songs
$19.79
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two ...

| | Carolyn Wonderland Miss Understood CD (2008)
Naughty Boys & Instrumentals songs
$11.39
On her seventh album, Texas blues singer/guitarist Carolyn Wonderland teams with Ray Benson, leader of Asleep at the Wheel, who serves as her producer, co-writer on two songs, backup guitarist, and the head of her record label, Bismeaux Productions. Benson seems to have just let Wonderland be herself, and that results in a varied collection that begins by emphasizing her blues-rock bona fides on the lap steel workout "Misunderstood" and ends with the ballad "Feed Me to the Lions," on which she is accompanied by the Tosca String Quartet. In between, there is plenty of room for her tasty, sometimes ferocious guitar playing on both originals and such covers as a version of the Johnny Winter signature song "Still Alive and Well." She has a powerful, rhythmic voice, her phrasing, if not her timbre, sometimes recalling Janis Joplin's, perhaps because they come from the same part of the world. While the rockers clearly provide a comfort zone for her, Wonderland seems equally at home on calmer material, notably the slow blues "Bad Girl Blues" and "I Don't Want to Fall for You," which sounds like a lost song from the days of Tin Pan Alley. Such versatility serves her well and only whets the appetite for her next guitar solo. ~ William Ruhlmann
Our grandparents had the war, our parents had marijuana, and we have prozac. It’s not much, but it seems like the theme of my generation is, “eat what they feed you.” Gone are the days when the youth took to the streets in hunt of live culture. Gone are the days of revolutionary art. Maybe, unchecked idealism was a failed policy, but at least they tried. Not long ago, kids would stalk artists for years; hungering for the fresh meat of a new release from a band that had something to say. Today, we can rest in the comfort of our underwear, caressing our wireless optical mice, resting our fingers on supple ergonomic keyboards, and drowning in the stagnant waters of passive entertainment. Well I’ve had enough! I want to bite into a steak of raw guitars. I want the chemical smells of seared strings. I want to be enthused, hell, I want to be ecstatic about the release of a new LP.“Where do we go from here?”That’s the question that burns through the varied tracks of Fluoxetine’s debut CD, “Best Western Religion.” The title track asks, “What is important in life?” Is it rock and roll? Is it network television? Is it possessions? Marketing experts instruct us to buy more. Does your head ache? Take this pill. Is your life meaningless? ...
| | Fuzzy Stones Get It Together CD (2009)
Naughty Boys & Instrumentals album
$10.65
The Fuzzy Stones were “formed" by a grown man after one too many long car rides with his kids. Their debut album, Get It Together, was recorded with a little help from a lotta friends, including members/alumni of Clem Snide, Van Hunt, the Original P, Millie Jackson, Blue Man Group, Count Zero, Pee Wee Fist, Tracy Bonham, Cobre Verde, and New Lou Reeds, plus Todd Tobias (Robert Pollard/Guided By Voices producer), Tommy West (Jim Croce producer and Partridge Family songwriter), a philosophy professor, a fork-lift salesman, a roller derby queen, a guitar teacher, a metal bird sculptor and hip kids like that. The album contains mostly original songs by the almost totally unknown songwriting duo of Robinson/Nassif, plus a few sweet covers, including a Syd Barrett tune, ...
