| | Tall Dwarfs Weeville CD Tall Dwarfs Discography of CDs
Although it was released in 1990, nearly a decade after the duo of Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate first started recording as a duo following the implosion of their pioneering New Zealand new wave band, Toy Love, WEEVILLE was the first full-length Tall Dwarfs album. After nine years' worth of EPs and singles (some collected on the 1987 anthology HELLO CRUEL WORLD), the 16-track WEEVILLE sounds positively expansive, but Knox and Bathgate stick with their by-now-familiar lo-fi blend of experimental noise, quirky instrumentals, and twisted pop songs. Highlights include "Skin of My Teeth," the corrosive "Sign the Dotted Line," and the subversively poppy "Tip of My Tongue."
Tall Dwarfs: Chris Knox (vocals, various instruments).
Additional personnel: Alec Bathgate (vocals, various instruments); Mr. Peter Brocolli (clarinet).

Weeville music CDs
$15.25 Terry Reid's self-titled release from 1969 features "Superlungs My Supergirl" and "Rich Kid Blues."
British belter Terry Reid, despite his respectable career, is probably best known as the great Almost Man of English hard rock. He was offered the singer slot in both Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, passing on both before Robert Plant and Ian Gillan took the respective roles. Listening to Reid's self-titled 1969 second album, it's clear that he had a good reason for doggedly pursuing his own vision.
One of the singer's defining moments, TERRY REID showcases his big, bold voice to full ...

| | Little Steven Greatest Hits CD (1999) Import; Remastered
Weeville music CDs
$10.49 The popular E Street guitarist's "GREATEST HITS" collection reissued and remastered. Swedish import.
Compiler and annotator Sven Peterson notes that "Little Steven" Van Zandt was more successful in Europe than in his native U.S., with two of his albums reaching the Top Ten in Sweden, so it is appropriate that this compilation of his EMI recordings was assembled in Sweden and released in Europe, but not the U.S. Peterson has chosen five tracks each from Little Steven's three EMI albums, plus the non-LP single "Vote!," and sequenced them chronologically. Thus, it is possible to trace both the artist's musical development and, most strikingly, his increasing militancy. The songs from 1982's Men Without Women recall Van Zandt's writing for Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes and Gary U.S. Bonds; they are 1960s-style, R&B-tinged pop-rock informed by the wide-screen production sound Bruce Springsteen developed with Van Zandt's assistance, with lots of screaming lead guitar and horn charts. Starting with 1984's Voice of America, Van Zandt began to express his political opinions, and in the process to employ other musical styles, such as reggae. (Curiously, Peterson does not use "I Am a Patriot [And the River Opens for the Righteous]," a song widely performed by Jackson Browne that has become ...
| | Echo & The Bunnymen Ocean Rain CD (1984) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Weeville songs
$8.79 OCEAN RAIN was modestly described as "the greatest album ever made" during it's promotional campaign. While it doesn't quite live up to this rash claim, it remains Echo and the Bunnymen's most ambitious and cohesive '80s release--a stepping stone that really should have led the band to world-wide fame. This is where the band left any traces of post-punk shambling behind and reached for the stars.
The majestic mood of the album is heightened by the extravagant string arrangements that underpin Ian McCulloch's plaintive croon. On "The Killing Moon," one of the band's finest moments, the orchestra is deployed to spectacular effect. McCulloch gives the performance of his life, while the group's often overlooked guitarist Will Sergeant plays with imaginative dexterity. Things turn spookily psychedelic during "Thorn of Crowns," with its memorable refrain "c-c-c-cucumber, c-c-c-cabbage, c-c-c-cauliflower." It's hard to tell whether McCulloch is exorcising some inner demon or just trying to remember his shopping list. Somehow, in the context of the sparkling OCEAN RAIN, it doesn't really matter.
Channeling the lessons of the experimental Porcupine into more conventional and simple structural parameters, Ocean Rain emerges as Echo & the Bunnymen's most beautiful and memorable effort. Ornamenting Ian McCulloch's most consistently strong collection of songs to date with subdued guitar textures, sweeping string arrangements, and hauntingly evocative production, the album is dramatic and majestic; "The Killing Moon," Ocean Rain's emotional centerpiece, remains the group's unrivalled pinnacle. [The 2004 reissue of Ocean Rain features improved sound, new liner notes, loads of photos, and a wealth of bonus tracks. The bulk of the bonus tracks is made up of the Life at Brian's sessions, which found the band playing some of their "hits" like "The Killing Moon," "Stars Are Stars," "Silver," and "Villiers Terrace," as well as ...
