| | Eels Live At Town Hall CD Eels Discography of CDs
Recorded live at New York City's Town Hall in late June 2005, this concert album finds singer/songwriter E (aka Mark Oliver Everett) leading the Eels through a 22-song set that spans the Los Angeles-based band's entire catalogue. For this outing, the group (essentially Everett and an ever-rotating cast of musicians) consists of a seven-piece ensemble that includes four string players. While drawing largely from the wonderfully ambitious double-album BLINKING LIGHTS AND OTHER REVELATIONS (highlights include a gorgeous rendition of "Trouble with Dreams" and a swooning, piano-driven take on "If You See Natalie"), this performance also presents older tunes (most notably an almost unrecognizable chamber-pop version of "Novocaine for the Soul") and excellent covers (an aching, string-laden rendition of Bob Dylan's "Girl From the North Country"). On a par with most of the Eels' studio work, LIVE AT TOWN HALL is sure to please fans of the eclectic and inventive act.

| | Crucervix My Dark Angel CD (2007)
Live At Town Hall music CDs
$10.15 To some, the music of Crucervix may conjure up images of a haunted, abandoned church – the creaking of the old wooden floor, the dust on the altar, the faint smell of long-extinguished incense, and the moonlight permeating the cracked, stained glass windows. All are pictures that are evoked by and reflected in the sound of the irreverent and unsettling compositions. Based out of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the metal act Crucervix was founded in 2004 by guitarist/composer Petram Crucervix (Peter Syslo). Classically trained at the university level, he desired to combine his favorite elements of various musical genres, which included death metal, black metal, gothic metal, film scores, and sacred music. Petram decided to focus on Crucervix individually, as opposed to forming a group, and after many hours of hard work, using barebones equipment, a collection of twelve songs was recorded in the fall of 2007. The first, full-length Crucervix album, “My Dark Angel”, was self-produced by Petram and it was well-received by many critical and casual listeners. The music on that album is often described as “lulling acoustic and vocal passages which are taken to the level of a nightmare by unconventional guitar riffs, relentless percussion, and subhuman throat-work”. With the release of the first album, the ideology behind Crucervix also began to formulate. All of the songs on the album dealt with some sort of betrayal of trust – whether it was in a relationship, a friendship, family, religion, government, or society in general. With these concepts in mind, the name “Crucervix” became even more relevant; the name was first devised from the memory of a famous scene from the horror film “The Exorcist”. The term Crucervix was actually formed from the combination of the two words crucifix and cervix, blatantly symbolizing the falsehoods of religion and femininity/love. That symbolism grew further and took on an even greater meaning as Petram began writing songs for a second album.The second Crucervix album, “Blood” was released in the fall of 2008. The songs on the recording further solidified the sound and concept of Crucervix; Petram’s compositions seemed to involve greater anger and further disgust for the lack of honesty in everyday life. But, this time the writing was not limited to self-relevant compositions; he first ventured into this external territory on one track from “My Dark Angel”. The song “Ripped from the Womb” was about the highly public case where a woman ...
