| | Best Of Clan Of Xymox CD (2004)
Compass
$13.29
Ronny Moorings is the main man behind Clan of Xymox, a synth/goth band that was lucky enough to be on the 4AD label during its heyday. After that he changed the name to just Xymox, had a semi-hit with "Phoenix of My Heart," and disappeared into the goth underworld. If you haven't kept up, it has been comfortable for Moorings and the band in their goths-only world. They've put effort into their recordings and offered up some thrilling moments. If these moments were displayed next to the fantastic 4AD years, The Best of Clan of Xymox would be a perfect primer. But Moorings explains in the liner notes about how he wanted to re-record the 4AD years to match the Clan of Xymox of the times rather than include the dreamy originals. Plus you don't get the minor hit "Phoenix," because that was released during the band's identity crisis, when it was just called Xymox. Moorings wants this to be a Clan of Xymox-only collection, but a skeptic would say he just couldn't pony up the dough to "Phoenix"'s big corporate owner, Polygram, and that the band's glory days on 4AD probably cost a pretty penny to license. The good news is the re-recordings are punchy ...

| | Dandy Warhols Odditorium Or Warlord Of Mars CD (2005)
Compass
$12.69
With its cheeky title, which references a series of Edgar Rice Burroughs sci-fi novels, ODDITORIUM OR WARLORDS OF MARS would seem to have the makings of a concept album. The only real concept here, however, is the Dandy Warhols getting back to a warmer, more organic vibe after their amped-up, slickly produced 2003 outing, WELCOME TO THE MONKEY HOUSE. The contrast between the two records works wonderfully, and reveals that the Portland, Oregon band isn't afraid to tinker with its sound, moving ...

| | Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio Age CD (2009)
Compass
$10.35
Broadcast's music has always been a little unearthly, so BROADCAST & THE FOCUS GROUP INVESTIGATE WITCH CULTS OF THE RADIO AGE isn't so much a departure as it is an inspired homage to their influences. VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS and its alternately innocent and menacing soundtrack inspired the band years before the movie was rediscovered. The whimsy and strangely familiar feel of '60s and '70s library music could also be heard in their music from the beginning, but never more clearly than on this mini-album. Broadcast's more esoteric side is heightened by the Focus Group, whose Ghost Box label is ground zero for the evocatively named "hauntology" micro-genre, which digs deep into vintage electronics and notions of what people thought the future would be like -- two things Broadcast have always done, even if they're not explicitly part of the hauntology crowd.
INVESTIGATE WITCH CULTS OF THE RADIO AGE's highly detailed, evocative miniatures replace TENDER BUTTONS' stark clarity with softly busy collages full of literal and figurative layers. Analog synths, distant beats, guitar arpeggios, and clouds of Trish Keenan's vocals flit in and out of snippets like "Will You Read Me" in a gently disorienting and deeply trippy fashion. ...

Compass
$15.29
For their second children's album (following 2005's PAPA'S DREAM, made with Lalo Guerrero), Los Lobos pay tribute to the Walt Disney movie musicals, as others have done before them. This version of the Disney songbook falls in between Barbara Cook's traditional pop treatment on THE DISNEY ALBUM and producer Hal Willner's more imaginative, revisionist take of some of the material, STAY AWAKE. (Los Lobos appeared on the latter, performing "I Wan'na Be Like You," a song repeated here.) ...
