Bloc Party Silent Alarm CD (2005)

Datarock album

$10.79

On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles "Banquet" and "She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock and fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts and heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation. Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up incarnation of the Cure's Robert Smith, but the sounds the group creates echo everything from Gang of Four's staccato militarism ("Banquet") to the reverberating guitars of the Chameleons ("Price of Gas"). At times, Bloc Party also recalls the ecstatic soundwashes of early-1990s cult pioneers like Ride ("Plans") and Slowdive ("Compliments"). Lyrically, Okerere tilts toward an endearing adolescent pessimism that, even when the music is less than mopey, gives him away as a goth at heart ("and the ravens are leaving the tower/make your peace"). However, at the end of "Price of Gas," when he proclaims "I can tell you how this ends/We're going to win this," one can hope that Okerere is expressing his confidence in a bright future for his extremely talented band. Although most remix albums offer little more than vaguely tweaked novelty, Bloc Party's SILENT ALARM REMIXED transcends that trend with a stunningly diverse set of reworked tracks from the British group's much-lauded debut. Given the consistently high quality of the original songs, the guest artists--which include innovative electronica acts (M83, Four Tet) and like-minded post-punk peers (Engineers, Mogwai)--have ...

Seconds Kratitude CD (2006)

Datarock CD music

$12.65

With chewy, rubbery guitar lines, hypnotic tattoos beating out on the drums, and repetitive vocal chants, the Seconds seem intent on marrying the most elemental energies of early punk to their hit-and-run songs. The band features Brooklyn noise-rock stalwarts Brian Chase of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Zack Lehrhoff of Ex-Models, and Jeannie Wong of the Bodies. The trio turn their estimable talents to keeping these joyous, staggering spaz-outs bouncing along at a frenetic pace, and ringing heads with just the right amount of arty caterwaul. KRATITUDE is the Seconds' ...

Editors Back Room CD (2005)

Datarock songs

$5.95

US post-punk revivalists Interpol's 2002 debut made it possible for a wave of Joy Division copycats to ape those dark-but-danceable sounds of the late-1970s/early-'80s. By 2004, coming off like the bastard offspring of Ian Curtis and Echo & the Bunnymen was a ticket to the top of the charts, even in America. Unsurprisingly, it took the Brits to do it right. The hue and cry over Editors (please observe the absence of an article in their name) and their 2005 launch THE BACK ROOM (released stateside in '06) painted them as the UK Interpol. Nothing could be further from the truth. While Editors display an obvious love for the dark, churning sound of the Chameleons, Joy Division, et al, there's not even a whiff of bandwagon-jumping here. The level ...

Appleseed Cast Peregrine CD (2006) Digipak

Datarock album

$10.09

The Appleseed Cast has a sound that you might have a hard time categorizing until you hear someone use the phrase "Midwest post-rock." Then it becomes obvious that that's exactly what they sound like, even if the term itself is really kind of baffling. You have to hear it to understand: the Appleseed Cast's sound is often noisy, but is never just noise; they experiment with weird and unusual production approaches, but you wouldn't call them avant-garde. Nestled within the sometimes dense clouds of guitar noise are genuinely attractive hooks, and their songs often contain puzzling but highly effective contradictions. Note, for example, "Here We Are (Family in the Hallways)," which is one of the album's finest tracks and sounds both chaotically hooky and energetically heartbroken. Nothing can really prepare you for the sonically bizarre "Mountain Halo," but then, the Robert Smith vocal inflections on "February" are every bit as surprising. The instrumental tracks are all very interesting, but with the exception of the excellent "An Orange and a Blue," none is as engaging as the songs, and the one that ends the program takes things ...

Jimmy Buffett Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes CD (1977)

Datarock music CDs

$7.19

From its immortal opening line--"I took off for a weekend last month just to try and recall the whole year"--to "Landfall," the hard-rocking sailing ode that closes it, this is the Jimmy Buffett album that most definitively sums up his Pirate Of The Caribbean beach bum stoner pose. The classic here, of course, is "Margaritaville," which, despite its ubiquity as a party anthem, is nonetheless one of the best written and most perceptively observed story songs this side of Ray Davies; if you can't recognize at least a part of yourself in it, you probably should check your pulse. Nothing else on the album is quite this sublime, but there isn't a song that doesn't work on some level. The overall atmosphere here is palpable; you can practically smell the tequila and salt air. Recorded at Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida and Quadraphonic Sound Studio, Nashville, Tennessee in November 1976. Personnel: Jimmy Buffett (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar); Michael Jeffrey (vocals, guitar); David Bryant , Harry Dailey (vocals); Roger Bartlett (guitar); Sheldon Kurland (strings); Billy Puett (flute, recorder, horns); Greg "Fingers" Taylor (harmonica); Michael Utley (piano, organ); Mike Utley (keyboards); Kenneth A.

Condor Big One CD (2003)

Datarock songs

$7.95

When it comes to alternative pop/rock, there are different types of eccentricity. There is an aloof, hipper-than-thou sort of eccentricity -- the type that says, "You'll never be as hip as I am, and you couldn't possibly comprehend what I'm doing." But there is also a much friendlier sort of eccentricity, and that is where Condor is coming from on their debut album, A Big One. Heavily influenced by the goofier side of late-'70s/'80s new wave, this San Francisco-based alternative pop/rock trio thrives on weirdness but always does so in a highly infectious way -- much like Devo, the Talking Heads, and the B-52's back in the day. But Condor isn't trying to be a carbon copy of any of those bands. For one thing, their sound has a darker edge; Condor has also learned a thing or two from New Order and Depeche Mode, although they aren't flat-out gloomy. With Condor, that dark edge never comes at the expense of relentlessly catchy grooves -- tunes like "Suntan," "Gleaming the Cube," and "Pokerface" manage to be dark, goofy, strange, and infectious all at the same time. A Big One doesn't use strangeness to scare people away and tell them how uncool they are; Condor's grooves pull the listener right in and make him/her want to be a part of the oddball insanity. Despite all those '80s influences, the Northern California threesome isn't an exact replica of bands from the new wave era -- there are enough '90s/2000s elements in play to keep Condor from sounding totally retro on this engaging CD. ~ Alex Henderson Recording information: Louder Studios, San Francisco, ...

David Gibson Path To Delphi CD (2005) (Import) Germany

Datarock album

$18.19

With its esoteric titles ("Icarian Sea," "Hestia's Egress," "Serpents of Hera," et al.), one would think that trombonist David Gibson's recording was a suite that could possibly be the soundtrack for a Greek mythology film. Actually the nine songs, despite the forbidding titles, are primarily hard bop. Gibson's style is a little reminiscent of a slightly more modern Curtis Fuller, trumpeter Randy Brecker is always a strong asset in this type of setting, and Wayne Escoffery's soprano adds a great deal to the ensembles. The rhythm section keeps the music swinging and the ballads properly brooding. So despite the names of the songs, this is the type of set that can easily be enjoyed by fans of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, even if the music is not an exact copy. ~ Scott Yanow Recording information: The Studio, New York, NY (11/21/2004).

Erasure Union Street CD (2006)

Datarock CD music

$9.99

The swift follow-up to 2005's well-received NIGHTBIRD, UNION STREET finds Erasure in an unlikely acoustic scenario. Rather than including songs from the aforementioned album or even a round of hits, this 11-track record throws listeners an intriguing curveball by featuring the venerable U.K. duo running through a set of lesser-known tunes. Stripped of their synth-pop veneer, these songs are cast in a wholly new light, with Andy Bell's plaintive voice coming to the fore over gentle, lilting accompaniment. Though some tunes are extremely minimal in their arrangements--"Home," for example, primarily ...
