| | Motion Trio Play-Station CD - Import Motion Trio Discography of CDs
Ah, but of course -- an accordion trio. After all, the only thing better than one guy playing an accordion is, er, three guys playing accordions. All at once. Now, this is the point where the critic is supposed to say that, believe it or not, the Motion Trio makes accordion music that people who hate accordion music will love. However, that's just not true. If the thought of an accordion trio makes your fight-or-flight reflex kick in, then sorry, but you're going to hate this album. However, if you don't have anything in particular against the instrument, then you'll probably get a tremendous kick out of it. These three Polish accordion virtuosos can do everything from minimalism ("Tranceaccordion") to instrumental hip-hop, complete with the best fake cutting and scratching since Tom Morello ("You Dance"), with stops along the way in the land of humorous atonality ("Chinatown") and tone poetry (the rather silly "Fly"). Not everything works perfectly -- "Helicopter" builds lots of tension over the course of its five-and-a-half-minute length, but never really relieves it effectively -- but almost everything here is at least interesting. Recommended. ~ Rick Anderson

The debut album by the High Kings was issued by the same folks who had a hand in Celtic Woman and Riverdance, and consists of easy listening and buffed-and-polished Irish folk music of appeal to an audience that is comparatively massive for the world music fringe: this album made the lower levels of the Billboard Top 200 album chart. The High Kings is glossy and polite -- targeted perhaps toward listeners who enjoyed the pennywhistle on Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" -- even on tunes that strive to be upbeat and frolicsome. ~ Stewart Mason

As any quick perusal of old Top 40 rock & roll station playlists will attest, singles were where the shakin' action was, as rock & roll albums were scarce as hen's teeth back in those pre-Beatle days. But when the record companies decided to issue one, it was usually an artifact of high rockin' value and some major influence. Naysayers to the contrary, this debut album by the Northwest's first great rock & roll combo is just such an artifact. The Wailers dispensed crude, greasy, largely instrumental rock & roll music for those who came to shake it up and shake it down, and ...

in-de-pend-ence n. 1 the state or quality of being independent; freedom from the influence, control or determination of another or others 2 [Now Rare] an income sufficient for a livelihood - Websters New World Dictionary (Third College Edition) Y'see, no matter how far things spiderweb and branch out, its always gonna come back to one thing: scary. Scary, scary, and - since were already talking about it - scary.Hearsay has it that the only thing scarier to sprout from the muck and mire of South Carolinas swampland than guitarist Willy B is his partner-in-grime Evil Presly. Whereas Mr. B has that gentlemanly Southern smarm and a drawl that simply drips with git th shovel, Mr. Presly - a leather n leopard wrapped mass of mange, canines and charisma thats charmed the pants off more than one chimpanzee - is a brash, one-man avalanche. Put simply, put the two together on a stage, in a van or bar tab and somebodys gonna end up hurt and bawlin.In the early 1990s, the pair joined forces, vowing to destroy the boggy boredom and stereotypical sasquatchshit that was plaguing their local music scene. With an unhealthy devotion to horror films and frighteningly diverse musical tastes in tow, the Demonic Duo decided that the best way to pay tribute to their heroes - Conway Twitty, Iron Maiden, Etta James, The Specials and the Ramones among them - were to hammer them all into a shaker (no stirring, thank you) and serve the whole steaming and quickly-congealing mess over ice. A few years of doing so laid waste to not only a few band members, but a handful of demo recordings, compilation appearances and scads of hellish live shows as well, culminating into a deal with indie label Rockduster Records and the release of The Independents debut, IN FOR THE KILL. Extensive touring for IFTK resulted in shows with Voodoo Glow Skulls and Blink 182, as well ...
