| | Daniel Johnston Electric Ghosts CD Daniel Johnston Discography of CDs
On ELECTRIC GHOSTS, Jack Medicine (aka producer Don Goede) and Daniel Johnston find new ways to create the sad and joyous effects that have made Johnston one of the most acclaimed outsider musicians in America. Johnston's voice still wanders tenderly around the melodies, but its rougher, whinier edges have been smoothed over. There are synthesizers and pianos and, on "Sweetheart (Frito Lay)," the smoothest blues guitar this side of Chess Records, but the layers of instrumentation are subtly syncopated throughout to complicate even the bounciest songs. The result is not exactly lo-fi, but certainly off-kilter--a new collection of loopy pop songs that Johnston's fans will recognize instantly.

Electric Ghosts CD music
$13.85 Although Scott McCaughey pays his bills as a loyal R.E.M. sideman, the longtime Young Fresh Fellows frontman's Minus 5 project has allowed him to explore his fundamental pop/rock leanings with colleague Peter Buck on albums like 2001's acclaimed Let the War Against Music Begin. Recorded in tandem with that set, I Don't Know Who I Am -- a limited-edition disc reportedly restricted to a pressing of just 2,000 copies -- is far darker and ...

| | Killing Joke Revelations CD (1982)
Electric Ghosts album
$9.79 The chief criticism many Killing Joke fans level at Revelations is that it is underproduced. When compared with later albums such as Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions and Pandemonium, Revelations does seem to lack some sonic kick, but only for listeners not digging deep enough into the dusty labyrinth herein. Criticism of the production ignores the reality that the album is a joyous, original world unto itself. Sounding as if it was recorded in some mad, dub chamber, Revelations reveals many artsy, staccato pleasures. "Dregs," "Land of Milk and Honey," and "The Pandys Are Coming" blend stream-of-consciousness lyrics with blaring, distorted guitars and punchy drumming. Jaz Coleman has never sounded more confused and happy. This translates to the listener in the form of dark, fun soundscapes.
The album is not about the accessible, synth-heavy charms of Firedances, a later album, or the political murkiness of What's THIS For...!, an earlier release. Revelations is similar, in a sense, to Brighter Than a Thousand Suns and Outside the Gate, in that all three albums suggest less aggressive, more experimental facets of the band. Unlike the grasps at emotion on Brighter and Outside, Revelations trudges a noisy and unfocused (to the point of brilliance) middle ground between the band's electronic and guitar leanings. "Dregs," in particular, is indicative of the state of the band at the time; Coleman simply blurts out whatever comes to his mind as the rest of the band creates militant, swarming background squalls. It's the sound of industrial music being created before your very ears. Nine Inch Nails and Ministry would ...
