This compilation follows on the success of its predecessor, and continues the project of showcasing the particular brand of electronic genius on offer from the German label Systematic Recordings. While the first volume was mixed by Stephan Bodzin, this one was put together by label head Marc Romboy himself, and betrays the latter's taste for funky but subtle house and breakbeat rhythms, almost robotically clean textures, and quirky sonics. The opening track, "Helen Cornell" by Chelonis R. Jones, is billed as a "Macro Version," which must be intended as a joke -- if this mix is macro, the micro version would be practically inaudible. The Bodzin and Romboy collaboration "Callisto" is distinguished by a pretty near-melody and by nicely displaced rhythms, while Romboy and Blake Baxter's "The Club (Version 1)" is characterized by a strange sense of urgency and playfully sinister vocals. On "Softuer" Hugo & Daniele Papini bring more complexity to the beat while, paradoxically, simultaneously relaxing it and making it a bit more slippery. The whole program is really quite brilliant, with only Spirit Catcher's "High Control" threatening to slip into tedium. ~ Rick Anderson

This version of No Fun At All's MASTER CELBRATIONS includes two extra cuts.
When Burning Heart Records released NFAA's debut Vision in 1993 (catalog number: BHR003), no one knew the influence that both band and label would have on the European independent music scene. No Fun at All went on to a ten-year career spanning five LPs, two EPs, numerous lineup changes, and too many tours to count. The Örebro, Sweden-based Burning Heart label is almost single-handedly responsible for promoting and supporting the careers of Refused, the Hives, and the (International) Noise Conspiracy, among others. For No Fun at All's farewell, Burning Heart united with Epitaph for Master Celebrations, a 24-track retrospective that spanned the group's entire career. "Master Celebrator," "Suicide Machine," and "Celestial Q&A" were classic bursts of melodic hardcore; indebted to the California sound of Bad Religion or 7 Seconds, but incorporating a distinctly European ear ...
| | Boz Scaggs Greatest Hits Live CD (2004) (Import) Japan
Systemic Colours Vol. 2 songs
$46.89
In 2004 Boz Scaggs released his first, and what is likely to be only, officially sanctioned live disc in an extensive career. With 35 years of experience and 13 albums of material to choose from, it also substitutes as a reasonable best-of, although Sony/Legacy's 1997 double set My Time did an excellent job of recapping his studio hits. Even if it's a byproduct of the associated DVD recorded at the same August, 2004 San Francisco gig, this is a lively and professionally performed show that makes up in soul what it lacks in spontaneity. Live hits' discs coming in the twilight of the artist's career are typically dicey affairs, often used as a backdoor way for a new label to release some of the act's best material, the originals of which they do not have rights to. While that may be the case here, this is far from a fast way to make a few bucks off Scaggs' catalog. The seven-piece band (plus two backing vocalists) offer perfect, occasionally inspired renditions of a relatively unsurprising set list. The show is a terrific mix of the lovely, but sometimes sappy Scaggs ballads such as "Heart of Mine," "We're All Alone," "Slow Dancer" and "Look What You've Done to Me" with the blue-eyed funk-pop of "Lowdown," "Jojo," "Georgia," and "Lido Shuffle." The songs that ultimately work the best and are the loosest are the blues-based tracks, in particular a sumptuous version of Bobby "Blue" Bland's "Ask Me 'Bout Nuthin' but the Blues," and nearly a half-hour on disc two dedicated to the jazzy jump blues of "Runnin' Blue" and a fiery "Loan Me a Dime." Scaggs is in terrific voice throughout, the band adapts remarkably well to a varied set list and the live sound is crisp but not sterile. Many of the arrangements, especially of the pop songs, don't differ substantially from the originals, but the effect is lively and with slightly more drive due to the live setting. The rather forced between-song patter very present in the DVD is edited out for the audio version, which provides a better musical flow. Some of these songs never charted, and were not even particularly ...
