The Advantage is, uniquely, a Nintendo cover band--that is, the band plays music first featured on the popular 1980s game system. But it's not only recovering vintage video game addicts who will thrill to the minimalist tones of "Batman--Stage 1" or "Metroid--Kraid's Lair"--there's plenty here for prog-rock enthusiasts, too. A labor of love on the part of these California math-rockers, who include Hella guitarist Spencer Stein, moonlighting here on drums, ELF-TITLED is the band's second collection of Nintendo-themed instrumentals. Some tracks, like "Guardian Legend--Corridor 1" sound perfectly Frank Zappa-esque, while others, like "Wizards and Warriors," fascinatingly expose the progressive rock roots of the pre-programmed originals.
The Advantage: Robbie Moncrieff (vocals, guitar); Carson McWhirter (vocals, autoharp, bass guitar, electronics); Ben Milner (vocals, electric sitar, organ); Spencer Seim (drums).

| | Prurient Black Vase CD (2005)
Elf-Titled music CDs
$12.19
Pitched somewhere between S&M fests -- a chunk of the album art might as well be Merzbow approximations if not direct outtakes -- and instrumental abuse that will prompt tinnitus checks while any dogs in the area dance wildly about, Black Vase shows that it just needs a day for Prurient to do what it does. Quite literally -- the whole album was recorded at a one-day session, with sole Prurient member Dominick Fernow occasionally helped by engineer Kris Lapke on drums and related beats. "Roman Shower" demonstrates that it's not only possible to create "ambient" music that irritates, but that even at low volume ...
| | Hospitals I've Visited The Island Of Jocks And Jazz CDs (2005)
Elf-Titled songs
$12.95
Following up a covers EP with a second album of all-original songs, the Hospitals embrace the noise-via-Load Records aesthetic through, on the face of it, expected ways. Unconventional/"ugly" mixes, the blunt art-yet-not cover art and design, aggro-spacticism, and so forth. But the flip side of the noise approach has always been a sometimes ...

| | Black Heart Procession Amore Del Tropico CD (2002)
Elf-Titled album
$12.95
The Black Heart Procession took a chapter out of the Nick Cave book of cool for their third album, Amore del Tropico. It's a sultry, mystical book of romance. The crime of love is the culprit in this murder mystery and the Black Heart Procession mix a tantalizing session of lounge and blues aesthetics, dark guitars, and lush string arrangements. It's an epic move for this Californian foursome -- the concept is brilliant and musically the Black Heart Procession are sonically at their best. Amore del Tropico starts off with the ten-second orchestration titled "The End of Love." The cinematic approach taken from the beginning sets the scene; "Tropics of Love" and "Why I Stay" shimmy with a Cuban edge. Vocalist Paulo Zappoli croons with a sexy flair while sifting through a world without heart. Steps are retraced on the sinister storm of "The Waiter #4," while "Did You Wonder" spirals around megalomania and Tobias Nathaniel's pinch-hitting guitar work. As the album draws to a close, elements of discovery are more apparent. "Before the People" presents the suspects while muted vocal distortions of "Fingerprints" linger around eerie violins. In the end, the soul who was searching for an answer falls to fate. However, the Black Heart Procession believe in the light on the other side and the countrified haze of "The One Who Has Disappeared" is an obvious reason why. Amore del Tropico gives the gift of love's bruised heart. The mystery of love's pain ...
| | Freedy Johnston Way I Were CD (2004)
Elf-Titled CD music
$13.05
Unlike a lot of performers whose earliest musical experience involved playing a bunch of shows nobody saw with a handful of local bands, when Freedy Johnston began writing songs, he bought a four-track cassette machine and began working up his compositions by his lonesome, which might have something to do with why his formative work doesn't betray much in the way of outside influences. The Way I Were: 4-Track Demos 1986-1992 compiles home recordings of (mostly) previously unheard Johnston compositions from a few years before his 1990 debut album, The Trouble ...
