| | Tribute To The Strokes CD
Just two albums into their career, it's hard to justify a tribute album to the Strokes, but the good folks at Tributized overlook this fact and have compiled a tribute album featuring 12 of the Strokes' most well-known moments by bands so obscure there's a chance they may not appear anywhere again (save for the next tribute album). While this compilation is totally unnecessary, it serves as a curious novelty doing alternate takes on songs that were already solid. ~ Rob Theakston

In the 1960s, Stax Records was best known for raw southern soul that rejected the type of sleekness and pop sensibilities favored by the northern soulsters at Motown. But by the early '70s, Memphis soul was losing its popularity, and Stax's A&R department ...
| | Bluetile Lounge Half Cut CD (1998)
Tribute To The Strokes
$11.59 Perth, Australia's Bluetile Lounge create one of the most delicately held-together walls of sound possible, which means there is something both sad and captivating about the music, with its alternately quiet and loud dynamics, always unfurled at the same painstaking pace that surely takes a few hints from the music of the Velvet Underground, or more likely that band's prettier descendent Galaxie 500. The hushed moments act as the spaces in the music, but they seem more like musical shrouds ...
| | The Rolling Stones CD (1964)
Tribute To The Strokes
$10.39 The first full-length Rolling Stones album is a raw document of their early sound, which at this point was still Early British Tinny, even on this pristine re-issue. However, the band's growing confidence throughout the course of THE ROLLING STONES is almost palpable.
Their take on Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You" is steeped in Chicago blues filtered through a West London sensibility, while the insistent harp on their hit cover of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" is an early example of the band's technique of using blues riffs as pop hooks. "Tell Me" is a fairly embryonic attempt at Tin Pan Alley songwriting (they're far more at home with the raw R&B of "Little By Little") and it's obvious that at this early stage the band was most comfortable performing R&B covers, such as Rufus Thomas's classic "Walking the Dog," and particularly Chuck Berry's "Carol," which remained a staple of the band's live shows for some years.
The group's debut album was the most uncompromisingly ...
| | Downpilot Leaving Not Arriving CD (2003)
Tribute To The Strokes
$11.39 Downpilot follows up their debut (Thrive in a Short Season) with LEAVING NOT ARRIVING, created in conjuction with Seattle producer Tucker Martine ( Jim White, Jesse Sykes, Long Winters). BlueDisguise Records USA. European release early 2005 on Germany's Tapete Records (tapeterecords.de, also available at glitterhouse.com. Downpilot's latest album, LIKE YOU BELIEVE IT, is available at:http://www.cdbaby.com/downpilot3:::REVIEWS:::NO DEPRESSION:It's a fine line between melancholy and moping, but Downpilot walks that line with superb grace. With its brooding lyrics and hooks that haunt you in the middle of the day, Leaving Not Arriving is full of romantic meditations that brilliantly capture life's complexities. Frontman Paul Hiraga's austere delivery of the album's opening couplet, "I heard the most dangerous thing about you...last night", from the song "True", sets a ponderous mood maintained throughout the disc's ten tracks. Hiraga's breathy, raspy vocals lend the songs a buoyancy that allows them to move effortlessly across his emotional landscape. On the second track, "Everyday Dream of the West", Downpilot picks up a pace that continues until the album's centerpiece, "High Water Mark", which spotlights the stark harmonies of violinist Anne Marie Ruljancich. She and Hiraga create a dreamy sonic terrain that's not dissimilar to her recent work with the Walkabouts. With elegantly layered production by Tucker Martine, the album swirls and floats and sometimes rocks. From the free-jazz horn sputters of "My Sunshine" to the atmospheric ...
