 (3 Customer Reviews)
While Junior Boys' debut indie sleeper LAST EXIT leaned more toward pastiche--a product of influences as far afield as 2-step garage and Timbaland's stutter-funk--their sophomore effort, SO THIS IS GOODBYE, is a step toward pop song form (albeit of the slowly unfurling, epic variety). Junior Boys recast the notion of northern soul in terms of blue-eyed crooners born of icy Canadian winters, as opposed to the inner-city blues of the American rustbelt. Jeremy Greenspan's weightlessly gorgeous voice contrasts with the music's frigid, prickly synth arpeggiation--extending like icicles from aerated frozen tundra. Steeped in elegant melodies and artful textures, Junior Boys remodel new romantic pop as etherealized neo-soul.

Rolling Stone (p.86) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] tosses in tunes with breathy Eighties vocals, well-placed atmospherics and chilly-chill beats."
Q (p.117) - Ranked #75 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006."
Uncut (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he Junior Boys lift classic motifs from across the history of graceful, breathy electronic pop."
CMJ (p.4) - "[A] collection of wonderfully glacial, surprisingly intimate electronic tracks....[They] keep every minimalist drum machine loop and hollow, bleeping effect anchored in a fragile humanity."
Vibe (p.161) - "[O]n their excellent second album, they smuggle in their fey, love-is-all affect amid percolating electro-soul beats and gorgeous, sublime pop hooks."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[B]reathy, vulnerable vocals, taut and toned electro...and German minimalism..."

This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.

$8.85 (MP3 Available for Download)
As wryly noted on LCD Soundsystem's debut 2002 single, "Losing My Edge," in the underground music arms race, aging hipsters are losing ground against young upstarts who are (perhaps) unaware of their own influences. And if influences are the stuff with which post-millennial musicians are made, Murphy has trumped us all. Touching on reference points ranging from disco, krautrock, Bowie, house, and post-punk, to singer-songwriter types, SOUND OF SILVER is a veritable catalog of left-field cool. Leading off with the slow-boil, hypnotic opener, "Get Innocuous"--which sounds a bit like a reprise of "Losing My Edge" crossed with Kraftwerk's "The Robots"--the album moves from dance-floor stormers to plaintive piano numbers without batting an eye. On "North American Scum," Murphy lampoons the often mistaken idea that LCD Soundsystem is a U.K. act; his nasal vocal echoing Jonathan Richman as he declares "for ...
| | Millennium Gold Vol. 2 CD (2004)
So This Is Goodbye album
$13.29
Also available as part of the deluxe box set WCBS-FM 101: THE MILLENNIUM'S GREATEST HITS VOLS. 1 & 2.
Collectables' Rock & Roll's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 is a 25-song collection of '50s and '60s oldies staples that leans heavily on the sound of doo wop and is seemingly thrown together without much thought as to pacing or flow. Luckily, the quality of songs is so high that the careless approach doesn't lessen the pleasure to be had from listening to classic tunes like the Four Seasons' "Sherry," the Angels' "'Til," the Marcels' "Blue Moon," and the Contours' "Do You Love Me." One might argue about the selection of Percy Faith's "Theme From a Summer Place" as one of rock & roll's greatest hits, but it is the only misstep. This disc is a reissue of a 1999 Collectables release titled The Millennium's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2: WOGL Oldies 98.1, so if you already have that one you don't need this. Anyone else looking for a decent collection of '50s and '60s hits might, though. ~ Tim Sendra
It's difficult to make a connection between the music on Millennium Gold, Vol. 2 and the turning of the millennium, except that the compilation happened to be released around that time. Nevertheless, it's a pretty solid collection of oldies-radio staples that doesn't aim to draw a portrait of any specific kind of music, but rather to assemble a group of catchy, familiar songs in one place. Artists present include ...

Country comedian Rodney Carrington is essentially a good ol' boy version of Pauly Shore, or to make a closer to down-home comparison, a sort of X-rated Minnie Pearl. Which is to say that he may be country, but one rather doubts that he'll ever play the Grand Ole Opry.
Potty-mouthed or not, he's undeniably funny, and he gets off ...
