Demon Barber Of Fleet Street Movie Review

5 stars Hollywood: look and learn!
It's a great shame this brilliant film is never compared to the trashy Hollywood musical version. Most Americans will have neither heard of nor seen the original film, and will not even have heard of Tod Slaughter. This is the man who had 1930's British cinema audiences quaking in their boots (in a theatrical sort of way!). The Ticket Of Leave Man is my favourite.

U F O No Heavy Petting CD (1976) Japan; Remastered

Demon Barber Of Fleet Street film

$26.39

NO HEAVY PETTING was the 1976 release by U.K. hard rockers UFO, featuring "Natural Thing." This reissue is what re-masters are all about. While the original master of UFO's HEAVY PETTING buried the quintet's sonic attack in a muddy mix, this one rediscovers their power and mints the band as a crucial link between early-`70s blues-based hard rock and late-`70s ...

U F O Obsession CD (1978) Japan; Remastered

Demon Barber Of Fleet Street DVD

$27.05

UFO had finally fulfilled their potential with 1977's exceptional hard rock tour de force, LIGHTS OUT, and released another prime slice of heavy metal just one year later, OBSESSION. While most '70s Euro-metal bands such as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc., dealt largely with doom and gloom, UFO proved to have more in common with such US melodic hard rockers as Van Halen. OBSESSION proved to be UFO's most successful studio album ever, on the strength of such hard rocking highlights as "Only You Can Rock Me" and "Ain't No Baby." Even though guitarist Michael Schenker again pushes the songs to the limit here with his superb playing, OBSESSION would prove to be his final studio album with UFO. After just one more release, the classic live set STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT, Schenker left to briefly rejoin the Scorpions, before launching the ...

Chris Stamey Travels In The South CD (2004)

Demon Barber Of Fleet Street video

$13.75

A founding leader of the influential cult band the dB's, Chris Stamey has spent most of last 15 years producing other people's discs (Alejandro Escovedo, Yo La Tengo, Whiskeytown) rather than creating his own. Not counting a 1995 instrumental album, Travels in the South marks his first record since 1991, when he released both the solo Fireworks and Mavericks, a duet disc with his old dB's partner Peter Holsapple. South, however, shows little sign of rustiness. The album kicks off with the glorious "14 Shades of Green," a chimey gem that takes a nostalgic look at a hometown. This leadoff track also establishes the theme of traveling that runs through the disc. Songs like "Insomnia," "Ride," and the title track all touch upon the feeling of life in transit. The sublime "In Spanish Harlem" takes a Paul Simon-esque look at New York City but with a decidedly eased-back Southern tempo. The entire album, in fact, rides along at a leisurely pace, with the majority of songs surpassing the four-minute mark. But Stamey uses his production savvy to build these songs into "mid-life symphonies," to make Brian Wilson's phrase more age-appropriate. A solitary piano and mournful pedal steel help to accentuate the longing in "Insomnia." A Byrds-ian guitar riff weaves through "Alive" and heavenly Beach Boys harmonies swell in "Kierkegaard." "And I Love Her," a prototypical Stamey love ballad, deftly blends '50s pop with the Beatles. It all results in a lovely, shimmery sound that won't disappoint fans of melodic rock music. Travels in the South reveals that Stamey remains ever the pop craftsman. Hopefully, he won't wait as long to craft his next disc. ~ Michael ...

Mission Of Burma Gun to the Head CD 2 CD Set

Demon Barber Of Fleet Street film

$12.75

Taking its cue from late-1970s British art-punks like Wire and Gang of Four, Boston's Mission of Burma developed a unique, angular sound that was at once pre-eminent in and definitive of the burgeoning US post-punk scene. For a band whose initial studio recordings consisted only of one full album and one EP, they were enormously influential, so this compilation comes off like the Dead Sea Scrolls of American indie rock, nearly every song foreshadowing a group that would appear years later. Things kick off with the band's signature song, "That's When I Reach for My Revolver," which combines tension and discord with moodiness and melancholy (and was covered over 15 years later by Moby). That combination of friction and lyricism proves key as A GUN TO THE HEAD hits the high points of Burma's studio output and live recordings, painting a picture of a band too fractious and mercurial to stay together ...
