Long Walk on a Short Pier will not win any awards for subtlety. On this inspired debut, October File provides a loud, harsh, abrasive and dissonant alternative rock/punk/hardcore assault -- one that gets in your face and does so without apology. The British band is certainly relevant to the hardcore scene, although October File aren't screamo any more than they are metalcore; rather, their hardcore moves are coming from more of a post-Black Flag, post-Fear, post-Dead Kennedys perspective. And there are also hints of industrial rock in some of their material; October File, like Ministry and many other industrial rockers, aren't afraid to use samples to their creative advantage. But Long Walk on a Short Pier isn't overly electronic-sounding, and most of the time, this is a very guitar-powered album. It's also a very angry album -- angry when it comes to politics, angry when it comes to romantic love. "God Hates America," a caustic political rant that would please Rage Against the Machine and Public Enemy, slams U.S. foreign policy without hesitation; the tune isn't attacking Americans in general, but it is definitely attacking American foreign policy in Latin America, the Middle East, and other parts of the world. And October File brings just as much passion to "Beautiful," which is about a guy screwing up a romantic relationship. One hears a variety of alt rock and punk influences on this album -- sometimes Killing Joke, sometimes Jello Biafra and the Dead Kennedys, sometimes Ministry -- and through it all, October File never fails to sound focused and passionate. Long Walk on a Short Pier isn't groundbreaking by 2004 standards, but it's definitely an inspired debut for these British agitators. ~ Alex Henderson

Long Walk On A Short Pier music CDs

This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Digitally remastered by Peter Mew and Nigel Reeve (1999, Abbey Road Studios, London, England).
Following the enormous success of the vibrant and upbeat LET'S DANCE, David Bowie's follow-up TONIGHT was a slicker yet more enigmatic-sounding collection. Full of synthesizers and polite Arif Mardin arrangements, this record allowed Bowie to indulge himself, even if that meant not putting out LET'S DANCE II. Three songs were resurrected from the '70s Iggy Pop catalog and another newer one was co-written with Pop ("Dancing With The Big Boys.") A 1977 Pop song was used as the title track, on which Bowie duetted with ...

A PRAYER FOR EVERY HOUR contains a bonus Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
A relatively stripped-down record in comparison to their later works, this is the finished product that served as lead Danielson Famile member Daniel Smith's senior thesis at Rutgers University. With guitars, bells, drums, and Smith's trademark yelp, the album takes listeners through 24 tracks (the prayers for every hour). The songs themselves are a disheveled group ranging in length from 17 seconds to over five minutes. The musical approach sees simple swipes of choppy, repeated acoustic guitar ...
| | David Bowie Best Of Bowie (Australia) CD (2002) Import
Long Walk On A Short Pier album
$25.59
This edition of BEST OF BOWIE will only be available 12.2.2003-3.31.2004.
Ably serving as a substitute for the excellent but out-of-print collection BOWIE: THE SINGLES 1969-1993, the two-CD BEST OF BOWIE serves as an outstanding career-spanning retrospective featuring material from as recent as 2002. Above all reflecting the visionary aptitude of a restless creative genius who switched into different musical guises the way some people change suits, these 38 cuts trace David Bowie's path from space-rock folkie ("Space Oddity") and glam god ("Ziggy Stardust") to blue-eyed soulster ("Young Americans"), and cutting-edge futurist ("Fashion").
21st-century kids might be aware of Bowie via covers by Nirvana ("The Man Who Sold The World") or the Wallflowers ("Heroes"), but it's equally likely they've heard playlist war-horses like '80s alt-pop classics "Let's Dance," "Modern Love," and "China Girl." Not to be missed are this icon's stellar collaborations with a wide range of talent including John Lennon ("Fame"), Queen ("Under Pressure"), Mick Jagger ("Dancing In The Streets"), and The Pat Metheny Group ("This Is Not America"). The latter material rounding out this collection is equally deserving of attention whether it's ...
