A euphemism for insanity, Chairs Missing is an apt summation of Wire's disturbing music. A product of London's punk scene, the quartet nonetheless owed a debt to the art-school experimentation of the mid-60s, a contrast that gave their craft originality. Oblique pop songs, including 'Outdoor Miner' and 'I Am The Fly', exemplify Wire's development from the abrasive minimalism of earlier releases, while their widening musical perspectives are reflected in the edgy 'Practice Makes Perfect'. Producer Mike Thorne adds keyboards and synthesizer to the group's guitar-based attack as Chairs Missing established Wire as one of the most innovative bands of their era.

Q (9/94, p.131) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...a more eerie gothic turn, Colin Newman's vocal still essentially a mocking tool, producer Mike Thorne's synths creeping in, mist-like, lending the guitars breathing space..."
Uncut (p.106) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] carefully adorned, consciously perfect, neo-classical pop-rock album with echoes of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd..."

Chairs Missing album
 $10.89    
New York's 1970s punk was markedly different to that of Britain. Rather than reject the past, American groups deconstructed its forms and rebuilt them with recourse to the music's strengths. Television's leader, Tom Verlaine, professed admiration for Moby Grape and the folk rock of early Fairport Convention. Elements of the latter appear on this album's title track, which offers a thrilling instrumental break, built upon a modal scale. Verlaine's shimmering guitar style provides the set's focus, but his angular compositions are always enthralling. A sense of brooding mystery envelops the proceedings, and Marquee Moon retains its standing as one of the ...

Chairs Missing music CDs
$16.95
Brian Wilson did quite a bit of production work outside of his main gig with the Beach Boys, especially in the early to mid-'60s. This 23-track collection -- entirely drawn from pre-1966 releases, except for a 1969 single by the Honeys and a 1973 single by American Spring -- doesn't round up all of them, as some were unavailable for contractual reasons. But it's a good anthology of this facet of Wilson's career, with many obscure songs that are difficult to find and have been seldom reissued. As is usually the case for outside production/songwriting ventures by major stars, few of Wilson's non-Beach Boys ventures were hits, and in fact none of the items on this CD were. As ...

| | Lucinda Williams Car Wheels On A Gravel Road CDs (1998) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Chairs Missing album
$19.59
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Can't Let Go" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
Williams's fans waited a long six years for this album, as Lucinda went through music business hassles and a revolving door of producers. The reward for their patience is an album full of rootsy, heartfelt observations that alternately rock and mourn. CAR WHEELS is full of songs about loss and longing, like "Metal Firecracker," "Drunken Angel" and "I Lost It," but even when she's bemoaning her own lack of happiness on the bluesy "Joy," she lets loose with so much passion that it seems inevitable she'll find her emotional center again.
Produced largely by Steve Earle, CAR WHEELS is immersed in that late-'90s alt-country sound, full of slide guitar, accordion, dobro and other Americana touches. It's a tribute to Williams's unique artistic vision that she distinguishes herself ...
| | Madison Monroe No Boundaries CD (2008)
Chairs Missing CD music
$15.19
Singer/songwriter Madison Monroe's first solo CD, “No Boundaries,” takes listeners on a revealing musical journey through his life experiences and relationships – good, bad and in between – with no apologies for his frank discussion of the outcomes. The 11-song set is an exceptional departure from today’s stock musical styles. It is a unique album of music that has driving rhythms that will move your body and powerful lyrics that will move your mind.Monroe grew up in Port Arthur, Texas, a gritty Gulf Coast town near the Louisiana border with a reputation as a place where most boys follow their fathers to jobs in or around one of the many industrial plants that make up the city’s rugged petrochemical skyline. Monroe didn’t take that course in life. A talented artist, photographer and musician, he went against the grain and aligned himself with Port Arthur’s “other" reputation – a town that produced a long list of major international recording artists, including Janis Joplin (“Me and Bobby McGee”), Johnny Preston (“Runnin' Bear”) and Jivin’ Gene (“Breakin' Up is Hard to Do”).Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana provided Monroe with an exotic gumbo of musical influences. His father managed a local radio station, and Monroe enjoyed hanging out at the station, listening to rock and roll, rhythm and blues, country, Cajun, zydeco, jazz and swamp pop, a highly danceable musical style that originated in the area. Monroe started playing guitar and singing background vocals when he was 14 and soon was performing with a variety of local bands playing original songs.Most of his friends wanted to get day jobs that paid a lot of money, but that didn't seem so important to Monroe. The first time he saw a live band, he knew what he really wanted to do.Monroe’s musical career moved to the regional level with the band Nog Pon Jami featuring Kevin Brown. He eventually moved to Austin and then to California before he returned to Port Arthur, where he looked for opportunities to pursue his own original music.Monroe started working on his own songs with the help of friends ...
