| | David Kilgour Frozen Orange CD David Kilgour Discography of CDs
Frozen Orange is David Kilgour's second record for Merge, and it is every bit as wonderful as A Feather in the Engine and stacks up well against his best work with the Clean. Kilgour has been making smart, melodic, and interesting indie for more years than anyone would care to add up, and unlike many indie rockers who seem to be merely shuffling along because the music is now their career, Kilgour is creating some of his best music yet. The album flows like sweet maple syrup from beginning to end, Kilgour's intimate croon caressing you like kind words from an old friend. Everything is near perfect throughout, from the production to the pace to (especially) the guitar work. The best song on the album is unlike anything Kilgour has done before; "Gold in Sound" is a laid-back, almost soft rock tune with gooey background shoo-wops and all kinds of guitars, keyboards, and vocals running through the song. It is a classic kitchen-sink production that would have sounded perfect on AM radio in the '70s and sounds great on an iPod, too. Most of the rest of the disc is more straightforward. "Frozen Orange" is the most Clean-sounding track with its driving beat and repetitive lyrics; "Dogs Barking" calls to mind Yo La Tengo at their most tuneful; "Blue Sky" and "Rolling" are glittering slices of cosmic country equal to anything modern country & western space cowboys like Beachwood Sparks have done. Elsewhere, the layers of guitars, the predominance of midtempo songs, and Kilgour's conversational voice call to mind the Church at times. Subtract that band's often pompous approach and substitute a self-effacing New Zealand attitude, though. Check out "G Major 7" or "Rocket" and it should become clear. Despite any comparisons one might make, Frozen Orange is completely Kilgour and completely good. Anyone who may have followed the Clean back in the day and lost track of Kilgour should find this a perfect way to rediscover one of the (for the most part) hidden major talents of the indie rock past and present. Everyone else just needs to check this record and this guy out. ~ Tim Sendra

Frozen Orange album
 $9.65 
In late 1999, the Dutch label KonKurrent invited Minneapolis band Low into an in-house studio to record one of the label's near-legendary In the Fishtank sessions; bands have two days to record between 20-30 minutes of all new material of their choosing. Also touring at the time were Low's pals, the Australian instrumental dynamos the Dirty Three. Low invited them in, and in the same collaborative spirit as another In the Fishtank session ...

| | Velvet Crush Soft Sounds CD (2002)
Frozen Orange music CDs
$13.49
The Velvet Crush's fifth studio album starts off not with the usual chiming rush of loud electric guitars but with a rolling piano line and a gently plucked bass. The duo behind the band, Paul Chastain and Ric Menck, have drastically revamped their trademark power pop style and stripped back the teenage wall of guitars to reveal a softer, more adult heart. There is still the occasional chiming guitar, like on the most Velvet Crush-sounding track, "Don't Take Me Down," but most of the songs are based around piano ...
| | Harold Mabern Few Miles From Memphis CD (1968)
Frozen Orange songs
$14.15
On A Few Miles from Memphis, recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968, he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for a bluesy, rhythm-filled set featuring familiar fare like "A Treat for Bea" and fun originals like "Walkin' Back." There's also the odd inclusion of "There's a Kind of Hush," a pop song that comes out sounding like an old standard here. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.

Frozen Orange album
$35.49
This relase from U.K. rock lyricist Pete Sinfield (King Crimson) includes "Song Of The Sea Goat" and "Under The Sky."
As expected, Pete Sinfield's only solo attempt has the fingerprints of King Crimson covering every track, and the end result is an obvious but rather gratifying piece of early progressive rock. With fellow Crimsonites Greg Lake, Mel Collins, and John Wetton helping him out, Sinfield manages to capture a sturdy-enough progressive air across the length of the album, complemented by periodic injections of classical, rock, and jazz movements. While Sinfield's vocal contributions are a little uninviting, he makes up for it with the assistance of Greg Lake for the title track, which is a spoken-word poem set to Lake's singing. "The Song of the Sea Goat" is another well-crafted piece that applies classical tendencies borrowed from ...
