WORKS LIVE offers an interesting concert document of ELP near the end of its initial creative tether. The two WORKS volumes were released at a time when each of the three would only occasionally deign to appear on the others' songs; however most of the selections on this live album are from those sessions, forcing each band member to participate more fully with the others.
One can almost hear the clash of egos, as Lake croons his pretty, romantic, acoustic-based ballads and Emerson demonstrates his ample keyboard chops on showcases that range from ragtime piano pieces to prog-rock barn-burners. He is, in truth, the Hendrix of the Hammond organ, with full orchestral backing. ELP were one of the few groups ambitious or profligate enough to bring an entire orchestra on tour with them. They reap the rewards of the added tonal colors on the second disc, which departs from the WORKS repertoire for "Abaddon's Bolero," and the band's adaptation of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition."
Recorded live at Olympic Stadium, Montreal, Canada.

There was a seven year gap between Dirty Little Secret, Katharine Whalen's sophomore release, and her debut. Perhaps not surprisingly then, the two albums are worlds apart stylistically with the only constant being the singer's retro vocals. She has abandoned the smoky, Billie Holiday style that was a logical extension of her work with the Squirrel Nut Zippers, for a lounge/spy music/'60s avant-pop that suits her just as well and arguably better. Although she gets top billing on the front cover, the success of the album should go equally to David Sale (ex-Camus). He writes or co-writes the songs, plays ...
| | Mixel Pixel Music For Plants CD (2006)
Works Live songs
$13.95
Delaware-born, Brooklyn-based indie rockers Mixel Pixel's fourth album presents, basically, more of the same: Music for Plants cements Mixel Pixel's status as Animal Collective without the folkie roots or zoological obsessions but fully stocked with all of the childlike neo-psychedelia intact. Many songs, particularly the pulsating "I Cannot Die," add a synthy new wave influence, and "Behind the Sun" is so drenched in echo and tape hiss that it's almost hard to hear the actual song, but the root of these songs is in the same kind of freewheeling D.I.Y. experimentation that the Elephant 6 people spent the '90s exploring. The difference between Mixel Pixel and similar bands, however, is that bandleader Rob Corradetti never lets his "sound for sound's sake" side overwhelm the appealing pop suss evident in songs as catchy as "Switchblade Sister" and the new wave dance-funk of "Turkish Delights," which somehow fashions a capable, tuneful pop song out of synth lines last heard in cheap mid-'80s porn soundtracks. It's undeniable that there's a certain "aren't we clever?" archness to Music for Plants, but it's equally true that...well, in fact, they are clever, and that counts for a lot sometimes. ~ Stewart Mason
