Coll.Of Early Material From 7" Singles & Compilations.
Illustrators: Jan Kruse; Carl Harris.
Clockwork Menagerie collects 14 assorted isan tracks from various singles, split releases, and compilations released between 1996 and 1999. It's a varied listen thanks to a non-chronological running order. Lush, worldly soundscapes smartly sit alongside lo-fi techno pieces, making it seem that the album was sequenced for maximum trance-inducing effect. While the collection isn't as immediately endearing and certainly not as cohesive as Lucky Cat or Beautronics, many highlights peek out of the album's otherworldly sonic tapestry. The three opening tracks are particularly charmed, as bubbly, slow-shuffling beats mingle with tender, emotional sound effects. "Damil 85" is another standout, with its warped sample of paranoid medical operations and scores of creative blips and bleeps. "Remegio" recalls the band's Morr Music peer Múm with its rolling sound effects and cut-up female voice samples. The album closes with two songs so pristine and fragile that the duo seems to rush at the mantle of Brian Eno to steal his ambient trophies. Clockwork Menagerie is best left unexplored until one has fully appreciated the band's proper full-lengths, but it's nonetheless a rewarding collection of hard to find songs from two artists who easily and consistently prove to be IDM musicians par excellence. ~ Tim DiGravina

Photographer: Ben Watts.
Buoyed by the popularity of the hit contemporary pop ballad "Home," singer Michael Bublé's 2005 album, IT'S TIME, clearly positioned the vocalist as the preeminent neo-crooner of his generation. Easily the singer's most stylistically wide-ranging album so far, 2009's CRAZY LOVE is also one of his brightest, poppiest, and most fun. Bublé kicks things off with the theatrical, epic ballad "Cry Me a River" and proceeds to milk the tune with burnished breath, eking out the drama line by line. It's over the top for sure, but Bublé takes you to the edge of the cliff, prepares to jump, and then gives you a knowing wink that says, not quite yet -- there's more fun to be had. And what fun it is with Bublé swinging through "All of Me," and killin' Van Morrison's classic "Crazy Love" with a light and yearning touch. And just as "Home" worked to showcase Bublé's own writing abilities, here we get the sunshine pop of "Haven't Met You Yet" -- a skippy, jaunty little song that brings to mind a mix of the Carpenters and Chicago. Throw in a rollicking and soulful duet with Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings on "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)," and a fabulously old-school ...
| | Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)
Clockwork Menagerie
$12.85
Personnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, guitar, harmonica, electric piano); Robert Joyce, Walt Harrah, Randy Crenshaw, Abby DeWald, Amanda Barrett (vocals); David Hidalgo (guitar, mandolin, violin, accordion); Phil Upchurch (guitar); Donnie Herron (steel guitar, mandolin, violin, trumpet); Patrick Warren (piano, celesta, organ); George Recile (drums, percussion).
Audio Mixer: David Bianco.
After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque cover to its joyous backing vocals. Apart from the breakneck "Must Be Santa," which barrelhouses like a barroom, Dylan doesn't really reinterpret these songs as much as simply play them with his crackerjack road ...

DOREMI FASOL LATIDO is the third album by seminal British space-rock band Hawkwind.
Remastered with four bonus tracks.
Audio Remixer: Peter Kramper.
Doremi may not be Hawkwind's most renowned album, but it carries the same type of prog rock spaciness as their first two releases. Even though the keyboard playing is trimmed down just a tad, the introduction of Ian Kilmister, otherwise known as Lemmy of Motörhead fame, makes up for it. With Lemmy's hard-lined guitar playing and Del Dettmar's synthesizer stabs, tracks like "Space Is Deep" and "The Watcher" are infused with elaborate instrumental meanderings in perfect Hawkwind fashion. The longer tracks, both "Brainstorm" and "Time We Left This World Today," have Lemmy getting settled in the band's extraordinary milieu, but end up being the album's strongest cuts. There's a harder feel to the songs all the way through, with the guitar and drums coming to the forefront ahead of Dik and Mik's "generators" and "hot electronics." Doremi is the inaugural album ...

Clockwork Menagerie
$10.65
Jimmy LottJimmy Lott is a pleasant surprise waiting to happen. His unpretentious demeanor, and warm personality, doesn’t let on to the fact that he stood on the edge of a revolution. For thirty odd years now he has been writing and singing about the changing world in which he lives. He started out in the mid sixties with songs about Vietnam, the draft, loss of naivety, and the “coming of age†of a generation on the verge of a cultural shift that will probably never be repeated. Jim has played in the presence of such distinguished writers as John Lennon and Bob Dylan. He has performed on a number of well-known stages: ...
