| | Melvins Chicken Switch CD Melvins Discography of CDs
As outlandish as Melvins records tend to be, CHICKEN SWITCH surpasses expectations. As if remixing the grunge pioneers' baritone vocals and chunky guitar isn't a bizarre notion to begin with, the chosen contributors weren't taken from the typical pool of electronic DJs (no Justice or Girl Talk here!) These are the guitar slinging, experimental/noise variety of remixers, with Matmos, Sonic Youth's Lee Renaldo, The Boredoms' Eye Yamatsuka, Acid Mother Temple's Kawabata Makota, and noise icon Merzbow doing the cutting and tweaking. Stranger still, is the fact that these artists aren't reworking particular songs, but instead are each using a full album's worth of material (or more) to deconstruct and rework into a single track. Usually the material is warped beyond recognition. It's difficult to tell what album spawned Merzbow's song, since it's rendered indecipherable by a wall of trebly distortion and static. Meanwhile, for "Prick Concrete/Revolution M" one-time Melvin David Scott Stone elongates a bassy Buzzo a capella into three minutes of whale-like throat singing. Lee Renaldo's "Egg Nog Trilogy" is one of the few tracks that actual feels like a real song with an actual back beat - albeit, like the rest of the album and most of The Melvins back catalog, it's disturbingly choppy and at-times frightening. CHICKEN SWITCH is a punishing, twisted mess - and in that aspect, it remains true to the warped Melvins aesthetic, and fans will probably eat it up. Even die-hards may find it hard to decipher the source material, but it's the wealth of creativity on board is highly admirable. Melvins Chicken Switch Songs Chicken Switch Review

$9.79 This is a collection of NOFX tracks from various compilations, 7"s and EPs, plus a previously unreleased song and dub remix.
NOFX are masters of the punk ethic of self-deprecation, and it begs the question if they truly realize the mark they have made on the history of modern hardcore. After 18 years, the band that sums up its musical prowess humbly as "good," releases a staggering collection of B-sides, compilation tracks, and rare cuts (many of which were previously long out-of-print in their original 7" pressings).
