| | Snapcase Bright Flashes CD Snapcase Discography of CDs
Steeped in hardcore but progressive enough to try and pull punk in a new direction, Snapcase hasn't always succeeded and in fact, its back catalog is pretty flawed. But after a decade of daring to be different, Bright Flashes finds the band for the most part delivering the goods. What's funny is that this album is actually a hodgepodge of covers, remixes, and holdovers from 2002's End Transmission, but the diversity of the material holds the listener's interest in a way that no previous Snapcase album could. "Believe/Revolt," for instance, is bravely and successfully reborn as an aggressive club number and is offset by an explosive reworking of "Ten A.M." New entries, like the groove-laden "Dress Rehearsal" and the pummeling "Depth of Field," are an ideal forum for vocalist Daryl Taberski's caterwauling. If tributes to their heroes in Jane's Addiction and Helmet are well-placed albeit mostly straightforward, Snapcase's take on Devo's "Freedom of Choice" is musically muscular but just too far out of Taberski's limited range. Redemption for that blunder comes soon enough, however, as the blistering "Makeshift Tourniquet" ranks among the best in the band's canon. ~ John D. Luerssen

Bright Flashes CD music
$38.59 "With The Lights Out" includes a DVD as well as a large booklet with pictures and liner notes.
Ten years after the death of Kurt Cobain, Nirvana fans finally got what they had been waiting for in the form of 2004's WITH THE LIGHTS OUT, an extensive three-CD/one-DVD box set spanning the deified rock band's career. Part of Nirvana's charm was its gleefully subversive aesthetic, and this trait is heavily featured on Disc One, which begins with a slaughtered version of Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" at the group's first gig in 1987. Distortion and low fidelity reign on most of these songs (including "Anorexorcist", "Pen Cap Chew," and a demo version of "Even in His Youth"), and Cobain probably ...

Bright Flashes music CDs
$14.29 EarthBeat! Records celebrates its 20th anniversary with a compilation drawn from both the EarthBeat! and Music for Little People labels, originally issued on albums between 1989 and 2002, focusing on some of the best-known songs of the folk revival and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. There are stirring performances by unusual combinations of artists, starting with Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land," performed by Willie Nelson, Maria Muldaur, Tom Paxton, and John McCutcheon. Other notable folk, blues, and soul performers include Richie Havens (on a medley of spirituals), Taj Mahal ("Follow the Drinking Gourd"), and Wilson Pickett ("Don't Ever Let Nobody Drag Your Spirit Down"). A cappella groups the Persuasions and Sweet Honey in the Rock are featured, and there are narrations spoken by actors Ted Danson and Danny Glover. Although the music was recorded primarily in the 1990s, it speaks to a continuing tradition of activism and the songs that have accompanied it in earlier decades, and that seems to be the point -- that the movement for freedom, extending back to the abolitionism of the 19th century and the labor struggles of the Great Depression, and which found mass recognition in the '60s, continued to progress through the end of the 20th century, singing hopefully all the while. ~ William Ruhlmann
