| | Mouse On Mars Radical Connector CD Mouse On Mars Discography of CDs
After an unprecedented long gap between albums, the usually prolific German electronica duo Mouse on Mars showed some notable advances with RADICAL CONNECTOR. The 2004 release features Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma edging ever further toward straight-ahead pop-song formats while still retaining a decidedly unconventional edge. With its chiming guitars and sunny layers of vocal harmony, "Mine Is in Yours" could be the Beach Boys as realized by Air, and "Wipe That Sound" suggests early Prince filtered through a postmodern, European cut-and-paste sensibility. Hip-hop is evoked on "All the Old Powers," albeit a brand of hip-hop that's as conversant with the Residents as with the Wu-Tang Clan. Ultimately, RADICAL CONNECTOR is a consistently surprising melange of pop hooks, dance beats, avant-garde production touches, quirky IDM, and atmospheric synth washes, marking Mouse on Mars as simultaneously uncompromising and accessible--a rare accomplishment in any style.
Mouse on Mars: Jan St. Werner, Andi Toma.
Rolling Stone (p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]he beats slip and skitter just enough to suggest a new genre: arena glitch."
Entertainment Weekly (p.125) - "Sexy robot vocals slip and slide all over juicy squeals, raindrop plops, and jungle-thick beats..." - Grade: B+
The Wire (p.59) - "[A] fitful and languishing affair whose best moments will have you yearning for more..."
CMJ (p.37) - "CONNECTOR burns far more methodically than its predecessors. For the first time, the group's music prompts some honest-to-god dancefloor euphoria..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 - "With tongues-in-cheek but feet defiantly on the dancefloor, RADICAL CONNECTOR ratchets up the accessibility quotient significantly." Mouse On Mars Radical Connector Songs Radical Connector Review

Radical Connector songs
 $23.75
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12"
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD, The Chills' 18-track compilation culled from The Chills early and mid-'80s EPs and singles, is highlighted by the song "Pink Frost."
The Chills' Martin Phillipps mixes up melodic pop with elements of garage rock and punk, creating songs with a sweet melancholy all their own. Phillipps has always been the focus of the Chills, writing and singing the band's songs. His group has also rivaled Menudo in its sheer number of personnel changes. In a just world, the Chills would have sold just as many records.

Radical Connector MP3 Album
$16.65
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 canon with different words. The lone "cover" in the set was written by Willie Dixon titled "Woman You Need Love," the tune Zep ripped for "Whole Lotta Love." Despite the fact that this set was issued before by Repertoire, the Akarma version is definitive in that it features the original cover artwork in a heavy cardboard gatefold ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Radical Connector music CDs
$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 different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with on The White Album's "Rocky Raccoon." What Second Chapter immediately sets forth is the importance of Kirwan as a pop artist, and how, despite Fleetwood Mac's success after he left, his sounds could still have been beneficial ...
| | Legend CD (2007) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Radical Connector songs
$16.59
In some circles, Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit, best heard on the songs "Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up in One of Those," both covered by Nick Lowe. Basher's endorsement is a clear indication that Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come as a great surprise that his first band, Legend, was proto-pub, an unabashed celebration of old-time rock & roll, filled with three-chord Chuck Berry rockers and doo wop backing vocals. Nevertheless, listening to their 1970 LP is a bit of a shock, as it's completely disassociated with anything that was happening in 1970, even with Tony Visconti enlisted as their producer. Legend's sensibility is ahead of its time in its retro thinking, pointing the way to the rock & roll revival of the late '70s and not even that similar to the country-rock of Eggs Over Easy or Bees Make Honey, as this has little of the rustic feel of the Band: it's just ...

I started to play the clarinet when I was 12. I received my early formal music education in a conservatory and in junior high school in my hometown of Tel-Aviv. At about age 16, when I decided to pursue a major in Jazz at the 'Thelma Yelin' High School For The Arts, I was instructed to 'bring your brother's saxophone or!any horn... but NOT the clarinet'. For the next 15 years I played mainly tenor saxophone and only brought out my clarinet occasionally. While attending Berklee College of Music in 1996, I met Phil Wilson, a great musician and educator. He encouraged me to play the clarinet because he felt I had my own 'voice' on the instrument. After moving to NYC in 1999, I started to play different styles of music in which the clarinet is part of their tradition: Brazilian Choro, Dixieland, ...
