| | Mission Of Burma Signals, Calls, And Marches CD Mission Of Burma Discography of CDs
One of America's most important, but most frequently overlooked, punk rock bands, Mission Of Burma released only a handful of records before it disbanded. 1981's SIGNALS, CALLS, AND MARCHES was its debut EP following a seven-inch single, both tracks from which are included on this Ryko CD reissue.
"That's When I Reach for My Revolver," built on Peter Prescott's powerful drumming and Clint Conely's heavy bass guitar, is an incisive look at the moment you realize that what you've been taught and what you know are different things. "Fame & Fortune" features a propulsive drum beat and Roger Miller's jagged guitar work, laced with controlled feedback. Another classic, "This is Not a Photograph," highlights scalding, scalpel-sharp guitars, and ends with a faked record skip. The album's last track, "All World Cowboy Romance," is a pretty, five-minute long instrumental with a number of complex strands and few of the jarring breaks that characterize some of the material preceding it. The two tracks from the band's first seven-inch include the spectacular, frequently covered "Academy Fight Song," one of the all-time high points in American punk rock.
This 1997 reissue includes 2 bonus tracks not on the original release.
Personnel: Clint Conley (vocals, guitar, bass instrument); Roger Miller (vocals, guitar); Peter Prescott (vocals, drums); Martin Swope (tapes).
Audio Remasterer: Ted Jensen.
Mission Of Burma: Clint Conley (vocals, guitar, bass); Roger Miller (guitar, background vocals); Peter Prescott (drums).
Entertainment Weekly (8/01/97, p.75) - "...While some of the sharply geometric riffs and chanted vocals sound dated, the power [with which these tracks are played]...makes almost every album released today sound tame by comparison." - Rating: B+
Q (May 2002, p.132) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...Sounds utterly phenomenal, bleeding elements of free jazz, musique concrete and psychedelia into their Wire-ish post-punk soundscapes..."
Mojo (Publisher) (6/02, p.122) - "...Consistently excellent, from the raw beginnings tothe mannered middle, to the documentary robusto..."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[P]erhaps their strongest statement, opening with the brilliant 'Academy Fight Song' and the anthemic post-punk classic 'That's When I Reach For My Revolver'..."

| | Rosanne Cash List CD (2009)
Signals, Calls, And Marches music CDs
$14.45  
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for ...

AFRO DIZZI ACT – Condensed bio.Anchored in a broad spectrum of roots music, Afro Dizzi Act have built a reputation as one of the most flexible bands in Australia. Their ability to craft a live performance for a particular audience and space is second to none and it’s for this reason amongst others the group has been able to attract such a wide ranging audience and an equally diverse array of gigs. It hasn’t been easy to categorise a band that draws from such a plethora of musical reference points, but Afro Dizzi Act as a band have never looked for a comfortable box to reside in. Rather this adventurous five-piece want nothing more than to continue to seek out fresh musical compositions, freely combining whatever sonic elements they see fit to call upon. Like Robert Rauschenberg’s ‘combines’, Afro Dizzi Act’s sound collects together often unrelated musical styles and through a process of unspoken collaboration and improvisation creates something electric, energetic, utterly breath taking and unquestionably greater than the sum of its parts.Recently teaming up with Vocalist/Kora player Jali Buba Kuyateh from Senegal, West Africa, a new direction is starting to present itself for Afro Dizzi Act. Jali Buba Kuyateh’s first performance with Afro Dizzi Act was at the Woodford Folk Festival 04/05, meeting the band there and opening their NYE show. From that date the collaboration has been going from strength to strength giving birth to a style of music that has been embedded deep in the Afro Dizzi Act hearts & veins for some time. This combination has brought to the table a rich flow of African roots & melodies blended with the signature deep grooves & world influences of Afro Dizzi Act. After recording vocals on there latest studio album ‘Walkin’, Afro and Jail Buba decided to compose some tracks and perform them together for the Woodford Folk Festival in 06/07. This turned out to be a great success & have propelled Afro Dizzi Act into ...
