| | Cult Love CD Cult Discography of CDs
2009 four CD set, the ultimate edition of the British Alt-Rock band's 1985 masterpiece. For nearly 25 years, Love has been a consistent seller, endorsing it's classic status in The Cult's repertoire. Designed to cater to the more committed fan, the Omnibus Edition is presented as a limited edition four disc box set with the CD's housed in Japanese-style paper sleeves, reproducing the original vinyl cover art. Apart from the re-mastered original album the box also includes the singles, the demos and a live recording from 1985. Equal parts Psychedelic Hard Rock and New Wave Goth, the songs on Love emanate a bright guitar sheen, tight arrangements, crisp drumming and a command performance from vocalist Ian Astbury. Along with the liner notes, the 48 page book features unseen contact sheets from the album photo session and a chronology of contemporaneous quotes by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy that illuminate the status of the band at that point in their career. 45 tracks. Beggars Banquet.
The Cult: Ian Astbury (vocals); William H. Duffy (guitar); Jamie Stewart (keyboards, bass).

1985's Love displayed a marked improvement over the Cult's early material, and though it remains underappreciated in America (worldwide it was a smash), this exceptional record has actually aged better than the band's more notorious (and equally important) releases: Electric and Sonic Temple. Equal parts psychedelic hard rock and new wave goth, the songs on Love emanate a bright guitar sheen, tight arrangements, crisp drumming, and a command performance from vocalist Ian Astbury, who as usual says a lot more with less than most singers. Overall, the album benefits from a wonderful sense of space, thanks in large part to guitarist Billy Duffy (who is much more subdued here than on future releases), whose restraint is especially notable on "Revolution" and the remarkably uncluttered title track. Duffy also provides compelling melodies ("Hollow Man," "Revolution"), driving riffs ("Nirvana," "The Phoenix"), and even a U2-like intro to "Big Neon Glitter." Also on offer is the near-perfect "She Sells Sanctuary" and the smash hit "Rain," quite possibly the band's most appealing single ever. Considering the musical schizophrenia that would plague each subsequent Cult release, Love just may be the band's purest moment. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
The Cult's 1984 debut, DREAMTIME, proved to be an intriguing, if sometimes muddled, combination of early U2 and the Doors, topped off with Ian Astbury's ongoing lyrical fascination with Native American mythology. The immediate follow-up, LOVE, was a notable improvement. Ditching the most overt Doors references in favor of moody neo-psychedelia that sounds like a harder-rocking version of Echo & the Bunnymen, LOVE includes "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Rain." These driving singles introduced the UK band to the American college-radio market and laid the foundation for the group's mainstream commercial breakthrough later in the decade. The rest of the album is nearly up to the level of the singles, with Astbury's less-mannered vocals and Billy Duffy's powerful guitar riffs offering a much more assertive musical presence than ever before.

Purchase Love CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chills Kaleidoscope World CD (1990) (Import) Import; New Zealand
Love
 $23.75
Kaleidoscope World is the Chills' essential document, a collection of tracks from early and mid-'80s EPs, singles, and compilation cuts. The influence of Syd Barrett and early Pink Floyd is stronger on these early tracks than it would be on subsequent releases, both on the easygoing sing along numbers and the more experimental outings. The highlight (of both the album and the Chills' career) is their New Zealand hit single, the haunting 'Pink Frost'.
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12"
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD, The Chills' 18-track compilation culled from The Chills early and mid-'80s EPs and singles, is highlighted by the song "Pink Frost."
Kaleidoscope World is the Chills' essential document, although it's not an album but a collection of tracks from early- and mid-'80s EPs, singles, and compilation cuts. Perhaps that's not surprising: the Chills are ...

| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (2008) (Import) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak; Germany
Love
$18.75  
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 Buckingham's gritty ramblings. It would have made a nice counterpoint as Stevie Nicks complemented Christine McVie's tunes with her adventures, bringing an important change of pace to that popular band's hits. ...
| | Legend CD (2007) (Import) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak; Germany
Love
$25.69
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 of a shock, as it's completely disassociated with anything that was happening in 1970, even with Tony Visconti enlisted as their producer. Legend's sensibility is ahead of its time in its retro thinking, pointing the way to the rock & roll revival of the late '70s and not even that similar to the country-rock of Eggs Over Easy or Bees Make Honey, as this has little of the rustic feel of the Band: it's just straight-up oldies rock, a trait emphasized by those incessant doo wop harmonies that are on almost every cut on this LP (but do disappear on the bonus live cuts on the Repertoire reissue, possibly because they were ...
| | Cult Born Into This: Savage Edition CDs (2007) Bonus CD; Special Edition

$17.99  
Double CD digipack with free sticker
The Cult: Ian Astbury (vocals); Billy Duffy (guitar); Chris Wyse (bass guitar); John Tempesta (drums).
Additional personnel: Mike Dimkitch (guitar); Stockholm Youth Choir (bass guitar); David Nock (drums).
Fans of alternative rock legends the Cult waited six long years for a follow-up to 2001's somewhat heavy-handed comeback, BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL. For this latest return from hiatus, Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy took their most recently employed rhythm section into the studio along with sought-after producer Martin "Youth" Glover (the Verve, Guns 'N Roses). With BORN INTO THIS, the Cult makes a valiant stab at recapturing the spirit of the LOVE and ELECTRIC-eras of the band. And while some may grumble at the album's more high-minded gestures (the acoustic "Holy Mountain"), the band's classic mix of metal bombast and alt-rock hooks is clearly right there in the mix (see "I Assassin"), with Astbury's Lizard-King croon punching its way to the fore.
Ever since 1987's Rick Rubin-produced Electric, the Cult have never shied away from reveling in the ...
| | Black Sabbath Paranoid CDs (1971) (Import) Bonus CD; Bonus DVD; Advd; Deluxe Edition; United Kingdom
Love
$31.89
2009 digitally remastered and expanded deluxe three CD edition of the classic sophomore album from the Heavy Metal kingpins led by Ozzy Osbourne. Originally released in 1970, Paranoid still stands as an important milestone in the history of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. This ultimate edition features a beautifully remastered version of the album, an alternate version of the album including instrumental mixes, alternate recordings and more plus the SACD 5.1 audio mix of the album. Majestic Metal, indeed. Sanctuary.
Paranoid was not only Black Sabbath's most popular record (it was a number one smash in the U.K., and "Paranoid" and "Iron Man" both scraped the U.S. charts despite virtually nonexistent radio play), it also stands as one of the greatest and most influential heavy metal albums of all time. Paranoid refined Black Sabbath's signature sound -- crushingly loud, minor-key dirges loosely based on heavy blues-rock -- and applied ...

Thank you for purchasing this recording. We have made every effort to relay a performance that conveys the enthusiasm brought to the music by these incredible musicians and wish you many happy hours of listening.This music was the result of a direct request to write a jazz worship piece by Garth Baecker. Mr. Baecker approached me and discussed the idea of a new piece several years ago. The Western and Eastern associations of the Illinois Conference of the United Church of Christ scheduled a celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the denomination for April of 2007, and Garth commissioned me to compose a work for the event. At the time, I assumed this would mean a single movement composition, but a meeting with event organizers revealed that they wished to have an entire worship service written! Through the course of the meeting, a few guidelines emerged. The church wished the piece to reflect their theme for the year which was light, and more specifically, This Little Light of Mine. Also, they requested writing a New Orleans sounding piece for the Offertory. I suggested utilizing music in all the traditional places within the service: Prelude, Gospel, Hymn, Offertory, Communion, and a piece for closing. Everyone at the meeting agreed and the only addition was a reharmonization of the traditional Doxology that follows the Offertory.The Offertory, composed first, presents a groovy New Orleans strut over an asymmetrical formal design. As composer, I wanted to reach way back into the jazz tradition and write a work that would feature the drummer, who creates this “2nd line feel.” Throughout the course of the piece, the band interacts with the drummer who serves as the glue that holds the work together. You can hear the band become downright snotty and childlike in how upsettingly playful they try to be while interacting with the drummer. ...

The intense rhythm section of the Slackers (Victor Ruggiero – guitar; Marcus Geard – bass and Ara Babajian – drums (also of Leftover Crack) provide the perfect and varied underpinning for frontman Happy's honest and intimate vocal style. His political, socially-conscious lyrics are delivered with a wry sense of humor and driven by the trio's tough drumming, versatile, expressive bass and eclectic guitar stylings.Following hot on the heels of their out-of-print first offering, "23 Blues - The Destruction of Utopia Pt. 2." the core members rallied friends from various circles past & present including David Hillyard of The Slackers, King Django (from Stubborn All-Stars & Skinnerbox fame), Papa B (Japanese Reggae Dancehall legend from Mighty Crown family fame), DJ Mush1 (current frontman of The Scorchers, former trumpeter of The Slackers) and various other close and dear friends.Sic & Mad was started by the mysteriously charming and disarming Happy (aka Michael Weininger) ...
