| | Electro Group Good Technology CD Electro Group Discography of CDs
On only their second full-length release in nearly a decade together, Sacramento noise pop trio the Electro Group scale back on the neo-prog conceptualism of 2001's A New Pacifica in favor of a more concise form of buzzy guitar pop triangulated somewhere between early Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine's oceans of feedback, and Dirty-era Sonic Youth. Only three of the album's 11 songs reach the three-minute mark, and the overall effect of perfect little nuggets like the hurtling "Bikini States" and the druggy haze of "Two Course March" is like finding a great lost shoegazer album that's been lying hidden since 1990 or so. Muffled, artless lead vocals buried in a miasma of drones and choppy single-note rhythm lines, Peter Hook-like melodic basslines under shambolic, thudding drums, and a tactile atmosphere so retro you can almost see the anoraks and bowl haircuts, Good Technology is certainly a throwback, but it's the best possible sort of throwback, one that simply pays tribute to a favorite musical time and place. ~ Stewart Mason

Purchase Good Technology CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Tom Petty Live Anthology CDs (2009)
Good Technology album
 $19.98  
It's a commonly held opinion among fans and band alike that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' lone live album, 1986's Pack Up the Plantation, didn't quite capture the group at its peak, so there has been a long-standing need for another live set, which 2009's Live Anthology finally provides. Like its closest cousin, Bruce Springsteen's Live 1975-1985, Live Anthology almost overcompensates for the long wait by offering almost too much music, cherrypicking highlights from 1978 to 2007. In its simplest incarnation, Live Anthology is a super-affordable, four-disc box set running 48 tracks, which is eight cuts longer than Springsteen's box, plenty long enough for most fans, but in its deluxe version, available only through Best ...
| | John Mayer Battle Studies CD (2009)
Good Technology CD music
$11.17   
It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." Mayer remains somewhat of a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest in the big AOR stylings of Journeyman, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step, creating a coolly clean blend of synths and Strats, ...

| | Chris Warren Crazy Wisdom CD (1997)
Good Technology album
$11.15
An insane amount of time went into making Crazy Wisdom, Chris Warren's first full length CD. And it is full length. Wise? Who knows. Crazy? Definitely. Worth it? You'll have to check it out. Made at a time when rumors of the death of the album were, if not flying, at least beginning to peck out of the egg, this is the kind of recording that artists in the sixties spent a lot of money (mostly on drugs) making. It is also the kind of album a musical visionary with very little time for trendy sounds makes. Somehow the album is more timely now than at its release seven years ago. And if its discovery comes as a pleasurable surprise to anyone in the world, it is bound to be just as great a surprise to Torontonians, where Warren remains something of a dark horse--like his birthday-mate George Harrison (disingenuous Beatles name-drop). Warren polishes lyrics only slightly less fussily than Leonard Cohen, and his arrangements on Crazy Wisdom comment on the words and on the world of each song. Tracks like "God is Dead" and "Jerusalem" display the songwriter-as-conscience speaking in the low-key, offhandedly funny way that is Warren's trademark. For the rest of the album, a writer with the perceptive psychology of an Elliott Smith examines relationships, pre, post and imaginary, from the opening track Graveyard of Friends to the somehow redemptive November Song with its refrain, "Love comes, love is abandoned, love is embraced again". And if the music is lush and melodic, the words are subtly ironic, knowing, and brutally honest.The twenty-odd contributors, apart ...
| | Tom Strohman In Our Prime CD (2001)
Good Technology CD music
$11.49
It is downright pleasurable to listen to a jazz group who obviously enjoys performing with each other. You can hear the results of their close camaraderie in the zestfulness of their playing. Such is the case with this group from Harrisburg, PA, led by pianist Steve Rudolph and saxophonist/clarinetist/flutist Tom Strohman. Joined by Steve Varner on bass and Bill Goodwin on drums, the quartet applies their imagination and technical skills to ...
| | Sean Madigan Hoen Liquor Witch CD (2007)
Good Technology music CDs
$8.79
Recommended by CD Baby:"The Liquor Witch is the kind of ambitious and nakedly sincere rock album that people have apparently forgotten how to make. Somewhere between the vapid state of mainstream music and the uber-hip indie rock nonsense lies this broken but beautiful album ." -- Splendid Music "Pay attention, indie-folk hipsters! This is one of those records you want to add to your collection, then mention to your friends in casual conversation." -- Mammoth Press"Hoen’s never gotten enough credit as a songwriter, as that guy who can make your blood run cold even as you wish you were him. Liquor Witch can be the album to do it for you, and if you need more proof of his diversity, drop in on “We Are Pedestrians.” If you’ve ever moved away from friends or lovers — or moved away from pain — it’ll reach right into your chest."-- Johnny Loftus, Detour Magazine. For fans of: My Morning Jacket, The National, Wilco, Ryan Adams, Nick Cave, Sun Kil Moon. From Greyday Records website:The Liquor Witch is the debut solo release from Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Sean Madigan Hoen, frontman of the Detroit-based Leaving Rouge (Greyday) and The Holy Fire (Militia Group). Hoen has slummed in the trenches of music subculture for over a decade, recording, touring and developing ...
