"Seadrum" rises up from a combination of Meredith Monk-style vocalizations, Krautrock space jams, African drumming, and Sun Ra-inspired free jazz--a rhythmic pulse that increases in intensity over the song's 23-plus minutes. "House of Sun," alternately, is a hazy, psychedelic swarm with explicit Indian overtones in its motifs and instrumentation (which includes tanpura and sitars), and sounds like Ravi Shankar waking up inside a hive of bees. These descriptions may not initially sound appealing, but the Boredoms' usual flair for the unexpected has been integrated into a remarkable skill for sustaining organic, rhythmic, and melodic improvisations, making this one of their best and most listenable sets.
"Accessible" is not a word one usually associates with Japanese noise-rock mavens the Boredoms. And since the band's 2005 release SEADRUM/HOUSE OF SUN is comprised of two lengthy, sprawling jams that lack any semblance of conventional song structure, lyrics, or melody, this album is by no means a bid for commercial viability. Still, compared to the nerve-scraping, whiplash-inducing hardcore of much Boredoms material, SEADRUM/HOUSE OF SUN is the equivalent to floating in a warm, strange tropical bay.

Seadrum/House Of Sun album
 $10.79  
Surfacing again with an American release after a couple years of absence, the Boredoms showed themselves to still be truly a unique proposition with Super Ae. Taking some more of the prog/Kraut influences that crept into earlier efforts while still firing up the amps all around, Eye and his cohorts (forming a core quintet this time around) once again become the most out-there band in the world. "Super You" is a simply fantastic way to start, with initial whizzing stereo-to-stereo sounds leading into a wonderful collection of slow, ponderous death rock riffs that sound like all the Black Sabbath and Metallica wannabes of the world gathered to create one massive opening fanfare via guitars. Logically the Boredoms spike the punch by interrupting things with sped-up tape sounds and pitch changes, making the proceedings all the more fun. From there, Super Ae continues along to something close to a concept album; each track feels like a perfect lead in to the rest, while the whole sense is of one long, mantra-like piece, faster or slower as the band feels like it. The big change is that the volume is not ...
| | Boredoms Vision Creation Newsun CD (2001)
Seadrum/House Of Sun CD music
$10.75 
Vision Creation Newsun finds Boredoms moving even further away from the random noise that marked their early output and settling into a loose, jam-oriented aesthetic. The first two tracks (no song titles here, only symbols) find Boredoms further investigating pounding tribal rock with propulsive drumming, energetic guitar work, and vocal chants. The overall feel bears some similarity to Super Ae, with tracks that draw from Krautrock and psychedelia, but Vision Creation Newsun adds a folk element, including softer instrumental textures like hand percussion, lengthy cymbal washes, and acoustic guitars. Some passages even flirt with new age, as they weave bird songs and the sound of falling water into the mix. These delicate touches aptly demonstrate the sonic range of Boredoms, but ...

Seadrum/House Of Sun music CDs
$15.79
This collection contains the third and fourth Felt albums, THE STRANGE IDOLS PATTERN AND OTHER SHORT STORIES and IGNITE THE SEVEN CANNONS. Whereas their first two albums featured more meandering tracks, these albums feature songs that are more terse, though still with very elaborate arrangements. Standouts from STRANGE IDOLS include "Sunlight Bathed the Golden Glow," a cheerfully bitter character study featuring gorgeously jangling guitars, the oddly catchy "Dismantled King is Off the Throne," in which ...

| | Andy Williams Alone Again (Naturally)/Solitaire CD (2002)
Seadrum/House Of Sun album
$10.69 
The titles of Andy Williams' successive LP releases of fall 1972 and fall 1973, Alone Again (Naturally) and Solitaire, may say something about the state of the singer's career when he made them. Cut loose from his long-running TV show and with his record sales plummeting, Williams may have felt a special affinity for Gilbert O'Sullivan's suicidal self-pity in "Alone Again (Naturally)" and Neil Sedaka's declaration that "Now, solitaire's the only game in town." But neither disc was really a thematic collection, and put together on a single CD by Collectables, the two albums for the most part find Williams covering the pop hits of the day, many of which remain well known: "Day by Day" from Godspell, Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever ...

| | Rock & Roll - The First 50 Years: The '50S 25 Top 10 Hits CD (2004)
Seadrum/House Of Sun music CDs
$14.79
Like numerous compilations on the Varese Sarabande label, this anthology of 1950s rock & roll hits seems geared toward the casual consumer who picks up oldies collections once in a while, not the more serious collector looking for the best overview of a genre or the best volumes for building a comprehensive library of a certain style. If you're not worried about such matters, however, this 26-track scoop of early rock & roll smashes is pretty good, though the three-CD The Golden Era of Rock 'n' Roll 1954-1963 is a much more definitive survey of the most essential early rock & roll hits, if you're inclined to dig deeper. But Rock & Roll - The First 50 Years: The '50s 25 Top 10 Hits certainly has a ...

| | Stooges Weirdness CD (2007) Import
Seadrum/House Of Sun album
$38.19
It's unreasonable to expect the reunited Stooges of 2007's THE WEIRDNESS to match the power, intensity, and attitude of their 1969 self-titled debut or 1970's FUN HOUSE. And they don't. However, this disc has much to offer. These aren't the drug-addled, knuckle-headed burnouts who changed the direction of rock-&-roll in one visionary swoop. Rather, this is an older, wiser, and more accomplished set of musicians having fun.
