| | Doves Kingdom Of Rust CD - Import Doves Discography of CDs
More than four full years after Doves' well-received 2005 album, SOME CITIES, the British alternative-rock band finally returned with a follow-up studio outing, KINGDOM OF RUST. Like its fellow Manchester-based peer Elbow, the group is remarkably consistent in its output, and this album is no different, with the time-honored Doves aesthetic of moody, majestic music unquestionably intact (see the expansive title track). Originally formed in the 1990s as the techno act Sub Sub, the trio does nod to its club-friendly past a bit more than usual on the pulsing opener, "Jetstream," and the slinky "Compulsion," but it also leaves room for pensive, subdued tunes such as "Winter Hill" and "Birds Flew Backwards." Dynamic while never sounding forcefully eclectic, RUST is the sound of Doves once again taking flight to impressive effect.
Doves: Andy Williams, Jez Williams, Jimi Goodwin.
Arranger: Tom Rowlands.
Rolling Stone (p.70) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Doves deliver gorgeous, sonically adventurous tunes dappled with strings, droning guitars, Radiohead-ish atmospherics and singer Jimi Goodwin's longing tales..."
Spin (p.78) - "[I]t's all about the melancholy rafter-reaching, like Coldplay on their darkest day. The title track chugs menacingly before swelling into a sunlit chorus..."
Alternative Press (p.121) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Their trademark melancholic tunes are intact, while 'The Outsiders' proves the downer dudes can actually kick out a jam."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[Doves have an] unwavering flair for producing mountainous, Wembley-worthy pop anthems that are nonetheless invested with a palpable degree of grace and humility."
Clash (magazine) (p.111) - "Early suspicions of greatness are confirmed...with the rebellious 'The Outsiders' with its piercing thunderous bass, followed by 'Winter Hill,' which suitably brims with Doves' trademark soundscape largesse." Doves Kingdom Of Rust Songs Kingdom Of Rust Review

| | Killing Floor CD (1995) (Import) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak; Germany
Kingdom Of Rust music CDs
$18.79
The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues canon with different words. The lone "cover" in the set was written by Willie Dixon titled "Woman You Need Love," the tune Zep ripped for "Whole Lotta Love." Despite the fact that this set was issued before by Repertoire, the Akarma version is definitive in that it features the original cover artwork in a heavy cardboard gatefold sleeve, and killer sound. This is a raw, immediate, overdriven, psychedelic blues record that offers ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Kingdom Of Rust songs
$19.79 
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with on The White Album's "Rocky Raccoon." What Second Chapter immediately sets forth is the importance of Kirwan as a pop artist, and how, despite Fleetwood Mac's success after he left, his sounds could still have been beneficial to that supergroup. "Hot Summers Day" is a fine example of that, a beautiful song that could offset ...
| | Legend CD (2007) (Import) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak; Germany
Kingdom Of Rust album
$18.75
In some circles, Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit, best heard on the songs "Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up in One of Those," both covered by Nick Lowe. Basher's endorsement is a clear indication that Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come as a great surprise that his first band, Legend, was proto-pub, an unabashed celebration of old-time rock & roll, filled with three-chord Chuck Berry rockers and doo wop backing vocals. Nevertheless, listening to their 1970 LP is a bit ...
