Swedish producer John Dahlbäck, cousin of Jesper Dahlbäck, had already released a lifetime's worth of music when Kompakt issued his first full-length as Hug. Prior to Heroes, there were over at least 20 solo 12" releases (as Hug, Huggotron, and Kaliber) and roughly as many with various partners (as Beckster, Hugg & Pepp, and Mark & John). Most of this happened before Dahlbäck turned 21. It could be the new standard for saturation. That level of productivity couldn't possibly leave enough time to ensure uniqueness in each release, and it's that issue that is the key factor in Heroes' fleeting pleasantness. A track from each of his singles for Kompakt's K2 division is reprised, while eight new tracks round it out. They're all between 5:25 and 6:36 in length, so you could say Dahlbäck is either overly formulaic or that he has his lean and supple form of techno down to a science. There's truth in both sides: each track is immaculately produced, and some of them -- such as "The Platform," "Heroes," and "Fluteorgie" -- are rich in dynamics and idiosyncratic sounds, but several play out with a similar arc and fail to leave a lasting impression beyond their cleanliness. ~ Andy KellmanThe Wire (p.62) - "[A]lthough HEROES is unremittingly propulsive, there's plenty of subtle variation to leaven the impact....Dark, danceable and rather special."

| | 13th Warrior CD (1999) Original Soundtrack
Heroes music CDs
$13.75 
Midway through production of the Viking drama The 13th Warrior, writer Michael Crichton jettisoned director John McTiernan and took over the production himself. At that time, he also ousted composer Graeme Revell in favor of the legendary Jerry Goldsmith, clearly anticipating an epic score in the mold of past Goldsmith classics like Patton and Planet of the Apes. But the end result is a frustrating work hampered by Goldsmith's frustrating reticence to allow his imagination to run wild. As Crichton's liner notes state, "We know nothing about what Viking music was like, which meant Jerry would have to invent it," but his innovations prove surprisingly tepid, employing wordless chanting and primitive drumming but not much else. Goldsmith remains ...
| | Stereolab Aluminum Tunes: Switched On, Vol. 3 Vinyl LP (1998)
Heroes songs
 $29.79
The music of Stereolab is equal parts Velvet Underground, My Bloody Valentine and Jean Jacques Perry, mixed with a touch of Krautrock, French pop and space age bachelor pad music. This heady mix has made for an impressive flow of albums over the years, but with a band as prolific as Stereolab, some tracks are likely to get lost in the shuffle. ALUMINUM TUNES addresses that problem with aplomb, housing rare non-album tracks from several sources under one roof. While perhaps not the definitive Stereolab recording (look to EMPEROR TOMATO KETCHUP for that honor), ALUMINUM TUNES serves double duty as primer for the uninitiated and fodder for the Stereolab completist. The frothy electronic pop of ALUMINUM TUNES belies the myth that rarites collections consist largely of cast-offs better left forgotten.

| | Live At Vortex CD (1996) (Import) United Kingdom
Heroes album
$15.75
Compilations have been a time-honored way to introduce new bands since punk's beginnings, if not a useful tool for separating nearly-greats and also-rans. The hard part is figuring which ones actually count, or seem irrelevant; for better or worse, this recording is a fair snapshot of what happened at one of London's short-lived punk landmarks. While punks derided the importance of musical execution, that quality also weeded out bands with nothing to say, or no clue about how to say it. Thus, Art Attacks' sensational song titles can't conceal near-comical levels of ineptitude, while the Suspects and Mean Street play in suitably blurry fashion, but neither have distinctive identities. As these bands show, the do-it-yourself ideal is more appealing than the reality. Listeners get better news from the Wasps' story-so-far rave-up, "Can't Wait 'Til 78," Neo's swipe at inner-city anonymity, "Small Lives," Bernie Torme's "Streetfighter," and the Maniacs' "You Don't Break My Heart" and "I Ain't Gonna Be History," which radiate more melodicism than most punk era outfits could muster. Still, there's little sense of occasion, unlike other classic documents of the era (such as Rising Free, the live EP that bookends Tom Robinson's classic debut, Power in the Darkness). The better bands show promise, but there's little hint of anyone ready to storm the world on vinyl; while the Wasps' version of ...

| | Ryan Adams Demolition CD (2002)
Heroes music CDs
$12.59
As part of the prolific flow of material that found him releasing three albums in two years, ex-Whiskeytown frontman Ryan Adams continued to surf his wave of popularity with 2002's DEMOLITION, a baker's dozen worth of demos. Culled from five separate demo recording sessions, these songs find Adams all over the stylistic map indulging in some twangy, pedal-steel-soaked tendencies ("Hallelujah"), making like Paul Westerberg with a Byrds Jones ("Gimme A Sign"), and tucking into echoey ballads ("Dear Chicago").
Adams also delicately duets with fellow y'alternative stalwart Gillian Welch ("Tomorrow"), mixes it up with Dylan's pedal steel player Bucky Baxter ("Chin Up, Cheer Up"), and still manages to get the girls to swoon on solo-acoustic odes laced with plenty of yearning and a forlorn harmonica solo ("Desire"). Until Adams finds time to bang out another double album in-between touring, rubbing elbows with Elton John, and curing cancer, DEMOLITION makes a fine stopgap for both diehard and casual fans.

Another of the thematically based 20th Century Masters collections, 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection: Best of Las Vegas features definitive songs from some of Las Vegas' favorite performers, including Bobby Darin's "Mack the Knife," Wayne Newton's "Danke Schoen," Tony Orlando & Dawn's "Knock Three Times," and, of course, Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual."
