By the time In the Long Grass was released, Bob Geldof's sights were set on more important issues, like the "Do They Know It's Christmas" project and the monumental Live Aid concert that came to fruition in 1985. All of the intensity and raw ardor that he and the rest of the band established on past albums is nowhere to be found on In the Long Grass, with "Drag Me Down" peaking at a measly number 50 on the U.K. charts, the album's best effort. Geldof's material comes off like hurried-up poetry haphazardly put to music, and without the flamboyancy of Johnny Fingers' piano playing, the songs seem empty and uninspiring. "Tonight" teases with a glimmer of hope because of its lyrical appeal, but tracks such as "Up & Down" and "Hard Times" bring the band down to a level of averageness that is unfamiliar, especially when compared to the genius of A Tonic for the Troops or the eccentricities of The Fine Art of Surfacing. Although the Boomtown Rats began to show signs that they were losing their flair on the V Deep album, it is much easier to forgive the shortcomings of In the Long Grass when looking back at Geldof's Herculean attempts at curbing world hunger that soon followed. ~ Mike DeGagne

In The Long Grass songs
$15.89
Presumably mixed in a featureless Siberian bunker by Optimo's J.G. Wilkes -- his partner, J.D. Twitch, might've been incapacitated at the time, sprawled across the bunker floor, his brainpan scoped by abrasive rhythmic sounds shooting off the walls -- Walkabout contrasts considerably with the Scottish duo's previous commercial mixes, 2004's bewildering How to Kill the DJ, Pt. 2 and 2005's tripped-out Psyche Out. In spite of its varied sources, including burbling acid house, bone-dry minimal techno, early electro-pop, frayed and highly frictional goofball house, willfully alienating electronic sound sculptures, and even a sparse guitar piece, context makes the whole program sound industrial. Evident by looking at its track list, with names like Throbbing Gristle, Suicide, and Black Dice, the disc is not designed to please a crowd, or even the average individual in search of a pick-me-up or a good time in the traditional senses. The set clangs, clanks, pings, buzzes, and sears, and its rate isn't even close to steady, so it's not even for masochistic dancers who like their pummelings served nonstop. Hearing the set for the first time, without knowing what's coming, would be particularly challenging during the mid-section. Tracks one through six are at least suitable for a dancefloor, but once Philus' "Kuvio 3" shows up, with its steady thump and pinging/panning tones, and worms its way inside Lenny Dee & Nikolai Vorkapich's buried Nu Groove treasure "The Virus," one's dancing bearings would be shot. Shane Berry's following "Fillertet 2," while initially straightforward in a relative sense, rapidly turns into a large and malfunctioning crosscut saw, gradually hacking away at "The Virus" until it is laid to waste. And what could follow but a gently scrawling neo-"Maggot Brain" guitar solo (with minimal accompaniment from a rhythm guitar and what sounds like slowed-down ...
| | Joe Psycho Certified Platinum CD (2007)
In The Long Grass album
$11.39
BIO: Joe Lopez a.k.a. Psycho Joe CEO, President, Producer and Artist of Hazard Squad Productions While attending Estero High School, in Estero, Florida, Joe became popular because of the way he married his keyboard to the computer. Local talent would book time with Joe so that he could produce and record their music. Not too long after that, Joe started making his own beats and writing his own lyrics. Hazard Squad was formed when he and a few friends combined their musical talents and vocal abilities. Joe started out performing at high school events. In 2004, he was a member of the first opening act for the L’il Flip and Lloyd concert that took place on August 1 at the Harborside Event Center in Fort Myers, Florida. Joe had the luxury of some one-on-one time with Lloyd, who was very gracious, complementary and down to earth. This event fueled excitement and Joe planned Hazard Squad’s own concert at the Three Oaks Banquet Center in Estero, Florida. Joe handled every aspect of the event: he booked the banquet center, planned all of the publicity, handled the ticket sales and arranged and wrote most of the performances. Unfortunately, Hurricane Charley prevented the concert from happening. Joe collaborated with Jael Rodriguez (aka Supreme) and they performed three songs off their album “Armageddon” at the New York International Music Fest on November 18, 2004. The first track off the album (which the album is named after) was played on Orlando radio station FM 102 J A M Z on Friday, January 14, 2005. A significant amount of the team’s time was dedicated to feverishly promoting the album. On March 4, 2005, Joe and Jael opened for L’il Scrappy and Rated-R at the Harborside Event Center. J. Sanchez from Trakwerks, a New York based company, selected FLA We Don’t Play off the album to represent the state of Florida on their mixed tape “Down These Mean Streets”, which was sold nationally (www.djb4.com). Joe realized one of his biggest dreams in August 2004 when he started the ...

“The world needs more songs like this." - Americana-UK.com"She’s an electric indie rocker - not your usual weepy acoustic chick - with a nicely unpretentious, assured voice like an urban version of the Walkabouts’ Carla Torgerson. She has an uncommonly good sense of melody, likes minor keys and reverb... Impatience, anger and frustration find their way into her smartly crafted, mid-80s style lo-fi songs. Catch her on the way up.” - lucidculture Elisa Flynn's songs are like birds' nests--woven through with interesting and shiny bits. She collects situations and images the way other people might collect things, and then she turns them into songs that have sonic range and depth. Her voice is a big and wholly original soprano soaring over plaintive picking and vigorous strumming. In her lyrics, her dark sense of humor comes through in the story that makes up each song. In articulating the thoughts of a care-free ...
