Is this the best of Alien Sex Fiend? Unless you've been frying the fat with the band all along, you'll have a hard time even figuring out (or remembering) where and when the cuts were first released. All came out from 1983-1997, but otherwise there's no documentation, the liner notes consisting of a huge jumble of black-and-white scraps of Alien Sex Fiend chart listings, print reviews, and advertisements. From those chart reprints, at least, even a dunce can figure out -- with enough patience -- that many of the 15 songs made the charts, even if these were usually, or maybe always, British indie or specialized charts. Among those songs are the singles "Ignore the Machine," "Lips Can't Go," "Dead and Buried," "E.S.T. (Trip to the Moon)," "The Impossible Mission," and "I'm Doing Time in a Maximum Security Twilight Home," the last of these, surely the wittiest title from a band not known for being good-time Charlies. It's a sufficient overview of music that helped to define the goth rock genre, even if their on-the-edge outrage -- "I walk the line between good and evil" (from "I Walk the Line") being a typical proclamation -- was more bark than bite. ~ Richie Unterberger
Alien Sex Fiend: Nick Wade (vocals); Rat Fink Jr. (guitar); Doc Milton (keyboards); Chrsitine Fiend (synthesizer, programming); Johnny Ha Ha (drums).

A founding leader of the influential cult band the dB's, Chris Stamey has spent most of last 15 years producing other people's discs (Alejandro Escovedo, Yo La Tengo, Whiskeytown) rather than creating his own. Not counting a 1995 instrumental album, Travels in the South marks his first record since 1991, when he released both the solo Fireworks and Mavericks, a duet disc with his old dB's partner Peter Holsapple. South, however, shows little sign of rustiness. The album kicks off with the glorious "14 Shades of Green," a chimey gem that ...

Friend Club
$9.07 
Recorded live in May 1994 at the Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville, All at Once at Any Time features two members of the Dense Band, drummer David Moss and guitarist John King, and an experimental DJ largely unknown at the time: Otomo Yoshihide. In the course of the next six or seven years, the first two names became less and less heard, while Yoshihide arose as a leading creative force in avant-garde music. The trio's music is made of fragmented bits of rock songs with tons of plundered cultural references. Funk, punk, junk culture, defaced icons, rock-solid grooves, and moments of ...

| | South San Gabriel Carlton Chronicles: Not Until The Operation's Through CD (2005)
Friend Club
$13.85
Will Johnson, "Maestro of Melancholy," has done it again, writing and arranging an exquisite foray into wistfulness so sublime you can't help but feel elation mingled with the sadness. For those confused by Johnson's prolificacy (a dozen releases in nine years bear his stamp), South San Gabriel is where Will Johnson, "Centro-Matic Rock & Roll Band Leader," and Will Johnson "Solo Artist of the Sparse" converge. SSG was born from the slow and stately side of Centro but exhibits a fuller sound than Johnson's skeletal solo work. The Carlton Chronicles: (Not Until the Operation's Through) rivals SSG's stunning debut, Welcome, Convalescence, and is built around a similar lonesome, high-plains sound and Johnson's poignant narratives. But this isn't stock-in-trade alt country; South San Gabriel's arrangements unfold in languorous beauty, each of Carlton Chronicles' nine songs varying widely in texture: programmed beats, synthesized accents, field recordings, grand pianos, shimmering organs, nylon-stringed guitars, violins, banjos, and angelic harmonizing all play roles nearly as key as the pedal steel so central to the record's feel. Take "Predatory King Today," just about the most prescient song ...

Friend Club
$14.55
In modern jazz, few super groups are formed even for one-shot efforts due to scheduling, but the Monterey Jazz Festival has been inclined to forge bands of steel to perform at their legendary event. Ostensibly a Dave Holland quartet, pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba is the missing link, one who has played in the U.S. only sporadically since the political ban of Cuban musicians in the 2000s. Happily he is here with Holland, former Holland quintet tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, and the fantastic drummer Eric Harland, who has been a regular member of Holland's quintet and big band. The difference is that this is in fact truly a co-op combo, with each member contributing original compositions. Rarely does such a band loaded with talent come together so cohesively, making some of the most exciting neo-bop based music to come across the pike in recent memory. As Potter is a post-Michael Brecker stylist, the Harland composition "Treachery" starts off the set in that mode, with a dizzying array of rhythm changes, an Irish jig flavor, and music played at an incredibly high level by all. "50" was written by Rubalcaba for the festival's fiftieth anniversary, a high-powered bop-based piece that is unstoppable, and churns into a tasty, spirited, funky number urged on by the multi-faceted pianist and Potter's expressionism that reflects both John Coltrane and the chortling sounds of Ernie Krivda. The piece contributed by Potter, "Ask Me Why," ...
