| | Dead Voices On Air From Labrador To Madagascar CD Dead Voices On Air Discography of CDs
Mark Spybey is essential to this group, and it is into his musical world that one slowly saunters. Not quite industrial but not quite ambient, Dead Voices on Air is about challenging the listener and inviting him into tackling various sonic landscapes. A song such as "Tongue Like Scree," for example, has a fuzz or some semblance of feedback set against a primitive percussion beat. Imagine a cross between Primal Scream, Nine Inch Nails and Tom Waits and the ditty becomes a bit clearer. Most of the tracks are quite experimental, like the short and ambient-tinged "Furtive" that is somewhat haunting. But the album rests on a couple of very lengthy pieces beginning with "Labrador" which opens with a rather odd but effective dreamy, hypnotic loop or sample and a string of effects. It could have come off of Pink Floyd's "Echoes" masterpiece, but doesn't stray too far from the initial groove. Jungle elements are added to give it a worldly feel. While not boring, it is far from exciting, at times recalling a mediocre Kraftwerk number. "Splay" however, doesn't come across as strongly, with its quasi-ethereal feeling accompanied by a drone that never grows on the listener. "Halv" sounds as if it's been spliced in half with portions of words mixed with eerie, monotonous samples and effects. Dead Voices on Air shine during the quirky "Madagascar" despite the occasional, annoying high-pitched tones that are emitted. But this highlight is quickly offset with a tedious "Papa Papa Nesh" that is far too similar to Enigma. ~ Jason MacNeilThe Wire (p.66) - "[With] a powerful unbuilt sense of direction...[and] and enigmatic sense of becalmed isolation..."

When the original partnership of Ryan Lum and Suzanne Perry in Love Spirals Downwards dissolved, the result was a new romantic and musical union between Lum and singer/multi-instrumentalist Anji Bee. With the band slightly renamed to indicate the difference between the new directions the duo explored, the first effort from the two was the excellent Windblown Kiss. Advantageously, it isn't a radical departure from Lum's earlier work -- this isn't Mojave 3 as different from Slowdive, say -- but instead a fascinating and beautiful new path that draws from his past without repeating it. It's evident not merely in his own playing -- he's just as apt to explore moody blues licks and acoustic flamenco and bossa nova lines, as well as his trademark digital delay lushness -- but the range of the songs as a whole. Bee's singing is key here -- instead of the angelic blissout of Perry, her approach blends that touch with a subtly sassier tang, reflecting her love for singers like Billie Holiday. Indeed, much of the album feels like a performance at a very classy (but not dull) late-night establishment, with subtle grooves and the sense of passionate love suffusing the air. That she can manage a wonderfully romantic Spanish-language ...

This two-disc set (there is a DVD disc entitled My Generation: The History of Rock 'n' Roll also included in the package) from Time-Life is split into two parts (arbitrarily labeled AM and FM), both of which are centered on the pivotal year of 1967, the year in which rock went psychedelic and widened its scope into the political and social arenas, a cultural explosion that added flower power to the menu and a good deal of depth and substance (and a fair amount of foolishness) as well. For all the fine music that is included ...
