Almost a hundred years ago, the German composer Paul Hindemith proposed the idea of Gebrauchsmusik, music composed with a specific functional purpose in mind -- sort of like furniture. Fast forward to 2004, and the idea is still alive, whether they know it or not, in the work of hardcore bands like Backstabbers Inc. In this case, the music's functional purpose is either deep emotional catharsis or actual physical beatdown -- take your pick. Through blood-on-the-ceiling rants like "You Brought This on Yourself" ("Welcome to hell/Your days are numbered"), "We Attack at Dusk" ("While you are sleeping we will be walking these streets hunting for these throats that need to be silenced") and "Distortion, Please" ("This is cancer, right?"), Backstabbers Inc exorcises demons of just about every conceivable shape and size. No surprises there. What is surprising is the band's sense of humor, which, while not exactly obvious in its bludgeoning guitar attack and caterwauling vocals, comes across pretty clearly on song titles like "I Don't Care How Many Times You've Seen Fight Club, You Are Not Tyler Durden" and "Even Slaves Will Be Swimming in the Blood of the Iron Fist"." OK, so maybe they're no Weird Al Yankovic, but compared to, like, Ramallah, these guys are pretty funny. ~ Rick Anderson

Kamikaze Missions CD music
$12.25 They may call this math rock but -- contrary to the attempt at pigeonholing -- it rarely gets boring. Which is usually a good sign that the usual musical designations don't really apply to Minus the Bear. The only question that comes up during a casual or earnest listen to their latest release, Highly Refined Pirates, is this: where would you place these guys if you had to? Then comes the rejoinder: who cares? Filled with complex guitar fingerwork, aural synth embellishment, and spiraling arrangements that recall everything from King Crimson to More ...
| | Lulu To Sir With Love: The Best Of 1967-68 CD (2003)
Kamikaze Missions music CDs
$14.79 Recorded between 1967 & 1968. Includes liner notes by Colin Escott.
This compilation collects 19 sides from Lulu during her burgeoning ascent as a British pop diva. The tracks include the contents of the long-players To Sir With Love (1967) and Love Loves to Love Lulu (1967) -- which share pretty much the same 11-song tune stack. The remainder were issued on a variety of singles in the U.K. as well as stateside. Although the vast majority failed to make much of an impact, she did top the pop singles chart with the title song of this package as well as from the film To Sir With Love (1967), where she likewise debuted as an actress. She played the smarmy lower-middle-class student "Miss" Barbara Pegg alongside Sidney Poitier's brilliant portrayal of high-school educator "Sir" Mark Thackeray. Her only other platter to hit the Top 40 in the U.S. was "Best of Both Worlds" -- which features an opulent score from Peter Knight. Keen-eared listeners may well hear several striking similarities between the introductory orchestration, which is a variation on a theme that Knight was concurrently incorporating into his work with the Moody Blues on their groundbreaking Days of Future Passed (1967). Specifically, musical quotes that surround the recitation (read: "Breath deep/The gather gloom...") at the end of "Nights in White Satin" are used here for a similar sonic flare. Lulu remained at the center of the mod scene in the U.K., rivaling other top British vocalists such as Dusty Springfield and Cilla Black for airplay and record sales, under the direction of Mickie Most (producer/arranger) and his crew -- which often included the distinct work of John Paul Jones (string arrangement/bass/guitar/brass) several years prior to his commitment to Led Zeppelin. In addition to co-arranging with Knight, Jones' multi-instrumental prowess can be heard on practically every track. His contributions include the Burt Bacharach/Hal David feel on the poppy "Let's Pretend" as well as the Brian Auger-like electric organ runs on the syncopated R&B-influenced "Take Me in Your Arms (And Love Me)."

Kamikaze Missions CD music
$16.39 Dear MusicLovers,Each time I visit India, it is an unforgettable trip. I receive love and affection from my family and friends. The culture, the music, and the simple minded gleeful spirit of the Indian people astounds me. But like night and day, there is also sadness and desperation. The sadness which exists in the eyes of the little children on the streets has left an indelible impression on me. I could not overlook the kids in the streets; kids without adequate food, clothes, and shelter; and no hope for schooling. Then, I realized that this problem was not unique to India, but it existed right here at home, in America. Although in different forms, this situation exists all over the world.I thought to myself, 'How come no one does anything for these kids?' Something had to change. Mahatma Gandhi said once 'You must be the change you want to see in the world. ' I decided to use my musical abilities to do what I can for these children. With the support of my parents, teachers, accomplished Indian musicians, and my confidence in YOU, I dedicated the last 9 months in producing two CD albums, Priyanjali and Rainbow: A Bridge to India. My name is Priyanka Tope. I am 13 years old, and live on Long Island, NY. I want to help kids who ...
