Much like contemporaries Matthew Dear and Swayzak, prodigious producer John Tejada has continued the evolution of putting Depeche Mode pop music structures in a minimal techno environment. Collaborating with Random Factor spearhead Carl Finlow, Invisible's Kimi Recor, and Dntel contributor James Figurine on vocals, Tejada's homemade blend of Detroit techno, minimal sensibilities, and recent forays into cut-up microhouse territory all make up the music bed over which these crooners sing. Strong acid lines and grooves keep Logic Memory Center consistently funky and moving along at a nice pace. However, Logic's biggest flaw is the over-packing of ideas into one song. The over-layering on some compositions creates a feeling of overcompensation and unnecessary busyness where the old minimal mantra of "less is more" could easily have been just as potent. But that shouldn't detract the curious from giving this a spin. It's Tejada's most solid full-length since 2002's Daydreams in Cold Weather, and some moments match Tejada's finest production moments. And given that the man releases such a baffling amount of music every year, that's no faint praise. ~ Rob Theakston

| | David Garza This Euphoria CD (1998)
Logic Memory Center music CDs
$5.95 David Garza made his major label debut in a big, brilliant way -- compared to the almost genteel efforts on earlier albums like Eyes Wide Open, This Euphoria flat-out rocks. Call it a natural progression, call it what happens when there's big bucks to work with, but Garza came up with one of the best rock albums of the second half of the '90s. Working with a variety of side musicians and recording at various spots in Texas and elsewhere, Garza comes on like the strutting, sly love child of Marc Bolan, Robert Plant, and Freddie Mercury, not to mention their respective bands. Unlike, say, the tedious necrophilia of Lenny Kravitz or the Black Crowes, though, Garza wins out on both singing ability and his ear for powerful, catchy material -- and he just sounds a little more engaging and much less full of himself. The opening track, "Kinder," almost misrepresents the album -- the bold, John Bonham-esque beat and descending fuzz guitar chords are just fantastic, but there's much more happening on This Euphoria. On the bold, straightforward tip, "Slave" is the absolute winner, something that would have been one of the best T. Rex songs ever if that group had done it; it's catchy, strong, and romantic, with a perfect balance of feedback and Garza's singing strength. Subtler approaches also appear throughout, as with the string arrangements ...

Then there were two. With George Harrison's passing in November 2001, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney were the only surviving members of the Beatles. Thankfully, Starr chose to press on in a creative manner rather than exiling himself in grief. The result is RINGO RAMA, the second album the Fab Four drummer has worked on with uber-producer Mark Hudson following 1998's VERTICAL MAN. From the outset, Starr weaves the past with the future, making allusions to "It Don't Come Easy" on "Eye to Eye" and bringing in longtime pal Eric Clapton to solo on the poignant Harrison tribute "Never Without ...
| | Jubilant Bridge Happenstance CD (2003)
Logic Memory Center CD music
$17.09 A dulcimer wizard, a pure-voiced poet, and a fearless guitarist create a sparkling, harmony-driven sound that is fresh and innovative. Intricate arrangements, unique harmonies "so tight, they pulse" (Mary Cliff-WETA-FM), and a sense of fun are the hallmarks of every Jubilant Bridge performance, a surprising range of critically-acclaimed originals, contemporary songs, and instrumentals. Although they come from a rich aural tradition, they surprise audiences with counter melodies, changing time signatures, well-chosen dissonance, and their singing of what could be instrumental leads. The instruments go beyond simple accompaniment; the arrangements and the songs themselves are meshed. The band uses the vocabulary, but steps outside of the conventions, of folk, rock, and pop---not simply stitching together genres, but folding the seams under. Mountain dulcimer wizard and vocalist Willie Jaeger takes what is often thought of as a "simple" folk instrument and discovers its complexity. His unique style of playing, and his popularity as a teacher at the renowned Swallow Hill School of Music, inspired Westword, Denver's alternative weekly, to vote him Denver's "Best Local Folkie." He has also been a finalist in the national mountain dulcimer championship at Winfield, Kansas. An engaging singer, he also plays hammered dulcimer and guitar, and composes instrumentals and the occasional song. Vocalist and guitarist Carol Van Alstine provides Jubilant Bridge with most of its distinctive original songs. She comes to songwriting by way of poetry. ...
