Following the breakup of Guided by Voices at the end of 2004, Robert Pollard's first release was a comedy album culled from his beer-powered stage banter (talk about your auspicious debuts!), but the brief EP Zoom marked his first public musical statement in the post-GBV epoch. Given Pollard's long-standing habit of tossing off pop songs with almost alarming speed, Zoom is a predictably casual four-song affair, with cryptic found recordings taking up the spaces between songs. There's a nice, slightly jazzy guitar instrumental ("Dr. Fuji and Henry Charleston [Zoom Variation]"), a not-quite-finished-sounding acoustic number ("Have a Day Mr. Clay"), and two good if not great pop tunes in the traditional Pollard manner ("Catherine From Mid-October" and "Zoom [It Happens All Over the World]"). In short, this represents the newly solo Pollard sounding pretty much the same way he always has -- which, given the ups and downs of his back catalog (especially the Fading Captain material), could be a bad thing as easily as a good thing. For fans only. ~ Mark Deming Robert Pollard Zoom Songs Zoom Review

| | Guided By Voices Earthquake Glue CD (2003) Limited Edition
Zoom CD music
$10.15  
The first 25,000 copies are packaged in a numbered limited-edition digipak with a sticker.
Additional personnel includes: The Esther Dennis Middle School 8th Grade Band.
Over the course of so many albums that all but the most rabid fans have lost track, Robert Pollard has fashioned himself an unlikely niche as the Grand Old Man of lo-fi alternative rock. With an uncanny ability to channel every '60s pop act from Chad & Jeremy to the Music Machine, Guided By Voices continues to spit out one ragged collection of Brian Wilson-class gems after another. Though Pollard is as legendary for his inconsistency as he is for his melodic genius, with EARTHQUAKE GLUE his band delivers one the most consistent efforts in its catalog.
Kicking off with what sounds like a lost "A Quick One, While He's Away"-style Who mini-rock-opera, the album ...
| | Minus 5 I Don't Know Who I Am CD (2003) Let The War Against Music
Zoom music CDs
$13.85
Although Scott McCaughey pays his bills as a loyal R.E.M. sideman, the longtime Young Fresh Fellows frontman's Minus 5 project has allowed him to explore his fundamental pop/rock leanings with colleague Peter Buck on albums like 2001's acclaimed Let the War Against Music Begin. Recorded in tandem with that set, I Don't Know Who I Am -- a limited-edition disc reportedly restricted to a pressing of just 2,000 copies -- is far darker and more experimental, as evidenced by the set launcher, "There Is No Music." Meshing a slide guitar with a brooding lo-fi feel, the song's alt-country leanings uneasily shift into the electronic-tinged "Myrna Loy." While there are contagious moments like "Rooting for the Plague" and the profane singalong "I Don't Want to Fuck Off Anymore," tunes like the heady "Disaster ...

Zoom music CDs
$11.49
Three years after William Lee Ellis gained the attention of the world's blues community with his stellar third album and Yellow Dog Records debut, The Full Catastrophe, he arrived on a horse of a different color. Conqueroo is a record steeped deeply in all of the traditions that have informed Ellis' musical, spiritual, and emotional lives: folk, bluegrass, prewar blues, ragtime, country gospel, and classical, and yet what comes from his guitar and voice is entirely his own. Sure, one can hear Gary Davis and Lonnie Johnson in his playing, but one can also hear Clarence White, Merle Travis, and most of all, Ellis himself in his playing. Unlike the revivalists out there, Ellis is a stylist, an original guitarist and songwriter who understands that tradition is the source of the flame but is never the fire itself -- that comes from the heart of the artist. Ellis' songs are deeply spiritual and full of street and amorous grit. Using his acoustic guitar and soulful baritone voice, he talks about virtues and vice as blessings that are forever linked inside the human heart and in the soul of the Divine. On an a cappella gospel tune such as "It's My Religion Too" with the soul/gospel quartet the Masqueraders, the mood is sacred; on the gutbucket slide blues of "Never Be the Child," it's profane; on the gorgeous folksy country of "Where Would I Go?" with father Tony's violin (the elder Ellis was a member of Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys and named William after his old boss), it's one of forlorn love; and on the spooky "Northern Lights," with the bowed bass of Larry Nager, the feel is an old Scottish love ballad of the moors, but it's far more lonesome -- and menacing. There's solid bluegrass in the mix too on "King of the Mountain," but it's graced and greased with Delta blues in its turnarounds, and then, on an amazing read of Chuck Berry's "Maybellene," Ellis re-reads the original through the blues via the rag styles of Rev. Davis and Tampa Red. The tune is a duet with Reba Russell, and Nager keeps it ...
