Part of the LOWDOWN UNAUTHORIZED series, this is a two-disc collection of interviews from various stages of the Mars Volta's career. Considering their inscrutable lyrics and dense, complicated music, it's refreshing to actually hear the minds behind the madness articulate where they're coming from and what they're aiming for. The set also includes a history of their previous group, the influential At The Drive In, and a host of photos.
Mars Volta - The Lowdown is a two disc set featuring one CD of fascinating interviews with the group at different stages in their career and in which they set the agenda for their ideas, ruminate on their manifesto and prove themselves to be amongst the sharpest brains in show-business. The set also features the history of their previous group At The Drive In as an audio-biography with band interview clips. Finished with booklets, poster, slipcase and rare photographs throughout, this set provides the full Lowdown on a group who refuse to conform! Lowdown Review

Rush is no stranger to best-of compilation albums, they've released a slew of them. They are also no stranger to DVDs. To mark their 35th anniversary, they've released Working Men, which is both; it marks their first best-of live compilation exclusively from the DVD sets Rush in Rio (2003), R30 (2005), and Snakes & Arrows Live (2008). There is also an unreleased cut from R30 -- a killer version of One Little Victory. While fans may simply regard this as a record company cash grab, hardcore fans know how closely Rush monitors each release and controls all aspects of their career. On hearing these tracks without benefit of the visuals, it becomes lucidly clear that in the 21st century, Rush plays more like a hungry act looking to prove themselves rather than as seasoned veterans jaded by the entire business. The instrumental interaction between Neal Peart, Alex Lifeson, and Geddy Lee is utterly uncanny, the anticipation and the willingness to add flourishes and to challenge one another in the bridges and solo sections reveal their command of the material and their empathies for one another's playing strengths. ...
| | Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention Roxy & Elsewhere CD (1974) Remastered
Lowdown music CDs
$8.25
Pricipally recorded live at The Roxy, Hollywood, California from December 10-12, 1973; the Auditorium Theater, Chicago, Illinois in 1974; Edinboro State College, Edinboro, Pennsylvania on May 8, 1974.
It's no secret that one of the most powerful weapons in Zappa's arsenal was his sense of humor, which was at its height in live performance. Consequently, there's no better way to get a feel for the full scope of Zappa's music than on the live ROXY & ELSEWHERE. This set finds Frank at his mid-'70s peak, working with Ruth Underwood, Don Preston, George Duke, etc. While all the tunes are technically impeccable (often featuring trademark feats of counter-intuitive derring-do), it's Zappa's humorous interaction ...

Lowdown album
$15.65
The release of 2009's ENDGAME brings with it a startling realization: if first-generation thrash metal fans had been polled about which of the genre's "Big Four" -- Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth -- would prove to be the most resilient and consistently prolific over the next quarter century, the only sure-fire consensus would probably have been "well, anyone but Megadeth!" And yet, 12 studio albums and 150-plus songs later -- more than any of the other three have managed -- that's exactly what's come to pass. The group's second ...
| | Klezmer Music: Early Yiddish Instrumental Music: 1908-1927 CD (1997)
Lowdown CD music
$14.29
Arhoolie and its affiliated labels have reissued this material, largely taken from the collection of the collector Dr. Martin Schwartz, several times over the years (first as a 16-track LP, then later as a 24-track CD), but the 1997 CD has the most informative notes and the best sound. (For songs painstakingly transferred from fragile 78 RPM records, many of them clearly damaged, this is an important consideration.) This ...

Lowdown album
$8.05
Tony Rich (or "the Tony Rich Project," as he likes to call himself) hit the jackpot with his debut album, Words, in 1996. It sold a million copies; threw off a million-selling single, "Nobody Knows"; and won the Grammy Award for best R&B album. Then, everything fell apart. The 1998 follow-up, Birdseye, was a flop, and Rich left major-label-affiliated LaFace Records, issuing his next two discs, Resurrected and Pictures, on independent labels to little notice. Hidden Beach Recordings, which is releasing his fifth album, Exist, is another independent, but it has a track record in breaking and reestablishing adult R&B artists. That's a category into which Rich fits. Writing, performing, and producing the music by himself, he has created an album of rhythmic, romantic ballads. ...
