| | Matthew Sweet Living Things CD - Import Matthew Sweet Discography of CDs
Japanese pressing of the songwriter's 11th studio album; includes two additional tracks, "Walk On The Edge (Demo)" and "Season Is Over (Demo)." 2004, Japanese import.
Casual observers might think that alt-rocker/power-popper Matthew Sweet simply fell off the map after his early-1990s success. In mainstream commercial terms there's some credence to that notion, but artistically, nothing could be further from the truth. Though he began to slip underneath the radar sometime in the late '90s, Sweet never stopped releasing melodic pop gems, as 2004's LIVING THINGS bears out.
Gone are Sweet's days of dirtying up his sweet tunes with chaotic lead guitar work from the likes of Richard Lloyd and Robert Quine. Around the turn of the decade, he started trafficking in a more lush, sparkling sound. The presence of Brian Wilson collaborator Van Dyke Parks on keyboards and Velvet Crush's Ric Menck on drums should be a clue to the elegant, polished pop direction of LIVING THINGS. There's a bit of rock crunch to a few of the songs, but for the most part, this is a gracefully unfolding batch of fetching melodies, artfully framed and lovingly rendered for those to whom "pop" still means something more beautiful than what's on the Top 40.
Japanese pressing of the power pop singer/songwriter's 11th studio album has earliest release & two bonus tracks, 'Walk on the Edge' (Demo) & 'Season is Over' (Demo). No domestic is scheduled until September 7th 2004.Uncut (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[A]s ambitious and compelling as psych-tinged pop gets, a merry-go-round of daring pop hooks housed in inventive swirls of sound."
Uncut (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[T]he haunted psychedelia, dizzying melodies and grand washes of harmony describe a singular landscape." Matthew Sweet Living Things Songs | 1. | Big Cats of Shambala, The | |

| | Cure Head On The Door CDs (1985) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Deluxe Edition
Living Things CD music
$12.25
With THE HEAD ON THE DOOR Robert Smith and the boys achieve a distinctively Cure-like pop sensibility. These 10 songs combine the dreary dreamscape that is Smith's mind with melodies that are about as catchy as Goth music gets (just try not clapping your hands to "Close to Me"). Included on the album are "In Between Days" and "A Night Like This," each a successful single, and each a staple of the Cure's live show.
Also noteworthy are the haunting lyrics of "The Blood" and "Kyoto Song," which Smith sings in his trademark high-pitched howl. Despite the gloom, this album represents perhaps the Cure's first real pop effort. It also represents a transition from the sparse instrumentation that characterizes the early Cure sound, to the fuller, more complex incarnation typical ...

Roundabout 1994, funk-jazz-popsters Soul Coughing emerged, seemingly borne of the pavement of the New York City streets with the enigmatic, engaging RUBY VROOM. The foursome led by charismatic poet-on-call M. Doughty released two other increasingly popular albums before calling it quits in 2000, amassing a considerable cult following in the process. Soul Coughing's otherworldly musical offerings, conceivably silly dance tracks for kids weaned on ...

While it's true that the first chapter in Gato Barbieri's musical life had been that of an explorer, from his vanguard outings on ESP with Don Cherry and Dollar Brand to his showcasing the music of his native Latin America on Impulse, Fania, and Flying Dutchman, it is the third chapter that concerns this release. Barbieri became deeply interested in the commercial possibilities ...
