DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND is that rarest of items, a comeback attempt that actually works. Previously, Billy Idol had taken a dozen-year respite from recording, conceivably recovering from the aesthetic trainwreck of 1993's woefully misguided techno-rock attempt, CYBERPUNK. The year 2005 found the former MTV pinup finally regaining his crown as sneering rock & roll bad boy. The punk-inflected, occasionally metal-tinged hard rock that leaps off this disc is in no small part made possible by the return of Idol's longtime foil, guitarist Steve Stevens, who helped make Idol's '80s hits so memorable. Together, they craft a sound more unrelentingly full-throttle than anything else in Idol's catalog. While there are hooks aplenty, the raging guitars and kamikaze drums rarely halt their rampage until near the end of the disc, when things slow down slightly for a couple of semi-ballads. Ultimately, DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND almost seems closer in spirit to Idol's work with the original pop-punks, Generation X, than to his more commercial solo recordings.

Personnel: Billy Idol (vocals); Steve Stevens (guitar); Derek Sherinian (keyboards); Stephen McGrath (bass guitar); Brian Tichy (drums).

Rolling Stone (p.77) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]he best thing he's done since 'Cradle of Love'..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 - "'World Comin' Back' and 'Sherri' are wondrously rousing anthems in the making."

3 stars Time to Start again
How good is it to have Billy Idol and Steve Stevens snarling their way onto your CD player again? The answer is "very good". There are some truly stand-out moments on this record with the rabble-rousing rock snarl of an anthem that is called "Scream". Things dont let up with the fantastically mysterious "Evil Eye" and the 80's tinged "Romeo's Waiting" just about giving you everything that you would possibly want for from a Billy Idol album. Steve's shredding remains a constant crowd pleaser from the opening chords to the dying fades of the final track.

Unfairly labeled a hair-metal band, Tesla was always closer to the spirit of vintage 1970s hard rock. When the group released 1994's BUST A NUT, grunge rock was in full swing, and the Sacramento quintet subsequently took their curtain call, keeping ...

Neither time, nor the deaths of founding members, nor claims that they'll never play together again seem to stop the legendary Who. On 2006's ENDLESS WIRE, the band's first official studio full-length since 1982's IT'S HARD, Pete Townshend is still folding progressive structures and lofty themes into bombastic, arena-ready rock, while Roger Daltrey belts it out as though it were still 1976. The Who's 2000s-era touring band, including drummer Zak Starkey, bassist Pino Palladino, and keyboardist John Bundrick, lend enough muscle ...

Arabian Waltz
Rabih Abou-Khalil Arabian Waltz CD  (1996)

Devil's Playground music CDs
CD $13.35  Audio Samples
Arabian Waltz is the pinnacle of Rabih Abou-Khalil's achievement as a composer and arranger. It is a sublime fusion of jazz, Middle Eastern traditional music, and Western classical. In addition to Abou-Khalil on oud (the Arabic lute), Michel Godard on the tuba and the serpent (the tuba's antique kinsman), and Nabil Khaiat on frame drums, the album also features the Balanescu String Quartet instead of the usual trumpet or sax. The presence of the Balanescu might seem to pose a dilemma for the composer: traditional Middle Eastern music uses no harmony but a string quartet is all about harmony. Abou-Khalil achieves a compromise by generally writing the string parts in unison (or in octaves), in effect using the quartet as a single voice, but also letting the quartet split up to play parts in unison with the other instruments or to provide ornamentation. Without surrendering jazziness at all, the ...
