Jason Forrest's The Unrelenting Songs of the 1979 Post Disco Crash is a Day-Glo burst of wacked-out samples, clattering percussion, sun-kissed melodies, and general electronic insanity. Unless you are the sourest of electronica purists, you can't help but be knocked out by the sheer amount of wit, skill, and joy on display here. Forrest has a knack for the perfect sample and a predilection for classic rock. So you get bits of Starship's "Jane," the Cars' "Let the Good Times Roll," Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets," and plenty more chopped and manipulated in strange and supercool ways. Which could come off as just cute and silly, but Forrest builds dazzlingly constructed tunes around them that would be swell even without the samples. The most impressive on the album do need their samples, however: "10 Amazing Years" folds, mutilates, and spindles the Who's "Who Are You" into a glittering cube of post-postmodern art that will leave you shaking your head in admiration. You could lump Forrest in with fellow sample-mad groups like the Avalanches, and that would make a lot of sense as they certainly share an everything-but-the-speaker-cables approach. Or with mash-up artists like Soulwax, though Forrest does more than just juxtapose. Whatever you do, make sure you track down The Unrelenting Songs of the 1979 Post Disco Crash because it is the feel-good record of the summer of 2004. ~ Tim Sendra

When they released Sleeping Dogs two years ago, Rob and Jen Slocumb were simply hoping to make a good record that would sell.They had worked to produce a disc that would attract attention from bigger record labels and make Martha's Trouble a more recognizable entity on the folk music scene.The Canadian music duo got what they were bargaining for, and much more.Sleeping Dogs is MT's best selling release to date, and has garnered its fair share of attention with movers and shakers in the folk music industry."That record got us in the door with people," said Rob, who manages the day-to-day business aspects for the husband-wife team.The effort grabbed rave reviews and earned Martha's Trouble some hard to land festival dates where the couple have rubbed elbows with stellar artists like Greg Brown.The CD got the attention of booking agents and even landed a tune, Some Peace Tonight, in a CBS movie starring Ted Danson and Mary Steenbergen.Now, Rob and Jen Slocumb are poised for even greater success with their new release entitled Forget October."This disc represents a departure for us," said Jen Slocumb, lead vocalist for the group. "We've taken some chances artistically, and these songs reflect our creative growth."The Slocumbs' paths converged in Houston a decade ago, and when they met there was an almost instantaneous recognition that they would make beautiful music together. Jen was born and raised in Canada, while Rob, whose father was an executive with Texaco, moved about the southeastern United States throughout his childhood.Neither one has any formal music training, but they've got more want-to than most groups plying their trade out there on the circuit.This attitude shows up in their music, which chronicles their life and times, and whose tone isn't the least bit pretentious."We just try to be real and personal with our songs," said Jen. "Rob and I make music from our hearts and we share it with our audiences as though they were friends we haven't seen in a while."LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FORGET OCTOBER SESSIONS.ROB: We recorded at Hollow Reed Studios in Asheville, North Carolina. It was a great set-up this time around because the whole house had been converted to a studio with a guest room. So, we could live, eat and work all in the same place.JEN: We wanted to work with the same producers, Chris Rosser and Jerry York since there seems to be great chemistry when the four of us commence on a project. For this record we wanted to expand a bit, and bring in some other musicians but the only guest turned out to be River Guerguerian who played all the drums on the record.WHAT WAS YOUR APPROACH TO THE RECORDING PROCESS?JEN: Our approach was pretty simple. We wanted to make the best record we could with as much tasteful production as possible. Adding drums would be significant because our last three albums were percussion only. Along with that we wanted to experiment with different synth sounds ...

Does anyone need another Chicago album besides this one? For the casual fan, the answer is definitely no. The 1975 blockbuster includes all the band's hits from its prime. And while tracks like "Wishing You Were Here" and "Feelin' Stronger Every Day" have worn a wee thin over the years, most of the cuts here are ...
