On CENTURIES BEFORE LOVE AND WAR, Stars of Track and Field accomplish some snake-eating-its-own-tail trickery by playing rock-informed electronica that references '80s minimalist rock bands influenced by electronic music. Sound confusing? It's not. The results are a unique and incredibly catchy blend of electronic flourishes and post-punk melodicism.

Whittled down from a quartet, the Portland, Oregon, trio easily masters both gurgling digitalia and arena-ready mope riffs a la Radiohead on their full-length debut, and almost always within the same song. "Centuries," the album's opener, finds a glorious Interpolesque chorus erupting from a grab bag of 808 beats and scratches, while the lush harmonies of "Lullaby For a G.I./Don't Close Your Eyes" recall Air's melodic side. With a deft combination of electronica and indie rock, CENTURIES BEFORE LOVE AND WAR is a unique triumph.

4 stars great cd - 4.5 stars
excellent mix of rousing rock tunes and more melodic offerings. throw in some electronic touches and great vocals for a distinctively good cd. not a skip over track on the whole cd.

Jesus & Mary Chain 21 Singles: 1984-1998 CD  (2002)

Centuries Before Love And War album
CD $14.55  Audio Samples Definitive Album
Not content to get regular day jobs, Scottish brothers Jim and William Reid (both on vocals and guitar) founded the Jesus & Mary Chain. The band's first single, "Upside Down," issued in 1984, was a mission statement of sorts, with squalls of guitar feedback looming over cool, detached singing and a lumbering beat. The group soon became UK music press darlings, largely due to their volatile live gigs. Over the years, the JAMC lineup changed numerous times (even including Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie briefly), and the Reid brothers began relying less on distortion and more on melody. This chronologically ordered collection touches on every phase of the Jesus & Mary Chain's career, initially focusing on their remarkable debut, PSYCHOCANDY, and its outstanding '87 follow-up, DARKLANDS. Highlights from this period ...

Alexi Murdoch Time Without Consequence CD  (2006)

Centuries Before Love And War music CDs
CD $14.35  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
After appearing on the soundtrack to the hit TV show The OC, Alexi Murdoch could have easily followed Death Cab for Cutie onto the major label merry-go-round and let a bevy of A&R folks shape him into Next Big Thinghood. Instead, the Scottish singer/songwriter's self-released debut full-length bears haunting similarities to the likes of Nick Drake's Pink Moon, hardly the way to mainstream stardom no matter how many car commercials it inspires. Nearly a third of the album will be familiar to those who already have Murdoch's 2004 EP Four Songs, three-quarters of which is reprised here, including "Orange Sky," the aforementioned small-screen favorite. ("It's Only Fear" is the sole track that didn't make the leap, insuring collector-geek status for the EP.) The remaining eight songs are, in the best possible sense, more of the same, and in the case of the first single "Dream About Flying" and the haunted opener "All ...

Though Sinead O'Connor's THE LION AND THE COBRA did not have the market impact of her follow-up I DO NOT WANT WHAT I HAVEN'T GOT, and lacks that album's polish and sense of assurance, the Irish spitfire's debut is still arguably her finest recording. There is an edge here that dazzles, and the dark atmosphere of the album--its unsettling tension, Celtic flavors, and dynamic contrasts--is completely seductive. Most of the tracks are characterized by a sound that is ...
Life Of A Song
Geri Allen Life Of A Song CD  (2004) SACD Hybrid

Centuries Before Love And War album
CD $11.75  Top 500 Audio Samples
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. Life of a Song is Geri Allen's first recording under her own name in six long years. She teams with the rhythm section of bassist Dave Holland and drummer Jack DeJohnette, whom she worked with on the late Betty Carter's stellar live date Feed the Fire in 1993. Allen composed eight of the album's 11 cuts, and the covers include Bud Powell's "Dance of the Infidels," Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life," and Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes." This last selection is augmented by the participation of Marcus Belgrave on flugelhorn, saxophonist Dwight Andrews, and trombonist Clifton Anderson. The album's title reflects the depth of commitment to the song forms inherent in jazz. Allen is in fine form here, and one can hear her various instrumental and vocal influences. The album swings, but looks underneath swing for its subtleties and its edges, too. The set opens with a playful, pianistic dissonance on "LWB's House (The Remix)" -- and lest punters be alarmed, the tune is not "remixed" at all, but is actually an earlier composition reworked. The bluesy funk here is augmented with Afro-Cuban rhythms and a series of tonal shifts where Allen is trying ...
