It's no secret that Nocturne are admirers of art metallists Tool, as you can tell by the stop-start guitar riffs, elastic basslines, and such song titles as "Cocaine Sex" and "Dirty Sanchez." The Dallas-based band returned in 2005 with their third studio album, Guide to Extinction, which turns out to be another healthy helping of aggro/electro rock. Singer Lacey Connor is obviously the star here, as she alternates between melodic singing and full-on screaming. And yes folks, if this sounds familiar, it's because it's the same formula that Tool's Maynard James Keenan has specialized in all these years, as evidenced by the album-opening track, "Shallow." But there are other influences that the band draws upon, such as a brief death metal breakdown in the middle of "Passion" that is an obvious wink to Slayer, while the slithering electronic beeps of "Walk Away" bring to mind the likes of Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails. It's admirable that Nocturne attempt to throw listeners a few curve balls, but it's hard not to feel that you've heard most of this before, especially if you have well-worn copies of Undertow and Ænima in your collection. ~ Greg Prato

Guide To Extinction Music Nocturne Guide To Extinction Songs Guide To Extinction Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   Their most polished album...
I've listened to their other albums and this is by far the best. Their first album Welcome to Paradise was angry, raw, and primal; typical of many underground bands, not at all radio material, but good. Twilight was more atmospheric, more goth and overall enjoyable but more for background. Paradise Wasted was simply a remastering of Welcome to Paradise but with two great new tracks (indicating what was to come). Axis of Evil was a great remix cd. But this album is much more mainstream, more polished. I've heard that they put a great deal of work into this album, and had been working on it since Welcome to Paradise (the other albums in between are considered "filler" albums) and it clearly shows. It is also the most diverse of their albums. The songs "Alibi" "I Lie" "Walk Away" and "Shallow" are songs that could be played on the radio, in fact, the whole album is much more mainstream (but still very reflective of what made Nocturne one of the most popular underground bands in the South). Overall the album is great, there's a little something different in each song, each arrangement had some thought put into it and no song feels the same. It really reflects the range the band was capable of. There are no filler songs. It's all enjoyable and I really wish I could write a review that better reflected my thoughts, but I feel the album just really speaks for itself. I only wish Lacey had stuck with Nocturne instead of making pop crap. They had a break through with this album so who knows how big they could have become.

These recordings were originally released on the Circle label.
In 1951, clarinetist George Lewis was on the brink of gaining fame beyond his wildest dreams and becoming a symbol of the New Orleans revival movement; however, he had not yet settled on a regular trumpeter for his group. Elmer Talbert had departed, Percy Humphrey would join up later in the year, and by 1953 Lewis would finally settle on the erratic but spirited Kid Howard. Lewis tended to adjust ...
| | Sleater-Kinney One Beat CD (2002)
Guide To Extinction album
$13.49
Initial pressings of ONE BEAT will include a bonus disc featuring "Off With Your Heads" and "Lions And Tigers."
When a decent-sized hype machine shone a spotlight on Sleater-Kinney around the time of 1997's DIG ME OUT, their sound was fresh and invigorating, but at its core starkly simple, revolving around fairly basic, yet oddly bewitching three-minute punk songs injected with the fevered vocals of Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker, backed by the Janet Weiss' frenzied beat. Five years later, two serviceable, if not earth-shattering, records proved prelude to the remarkable evolution of the stunning and complex ONE BEAT. Drawing from some of the best elements of punk innovators like Mission Of Burma and The Fall, the trio creates unpredictable yet enthralling songs replete with the band's trademark dialectic razor-blade vocals countered with honeyed harmony.
ONE BEAT opens simply enough as insistent drums are overlaid with a repeated guitar riff before the vocal kicks in with lines like "if you were Thomas Edison, would you invent the world for me." But somewhere in the midst of the brilliantly inconsistent "Far Away" the album breaks ranks into a beguiling rock & roll puzzle. By the time a synth wails in on the dance-punk of "Oh!" or horns sneak into the background of the somewhat rapturous "Step Aside," it's apparent that the already-acclaimed Sleater-Kinney have themselves the most accomplished record of their career.
