Shake Hands With Danger CD  (2003)

CD $12.05  Audio Samples
On "Get Inside," the drumming and warm synth swells are not unlike the often sampled David Axelrod. It's DJ Shadow meets the Neptunes sans brassy hooks, a retro-future re-envisioning of big beat. A wonderfully sprawling yet cohesive album, Shake Hands puts TRS-80 light years apart from their kitsch or analog-purist contemporaries. The suspiciously electro-seeming early-'80s visual sheen of the band should not deter listeners though, as Shake Hands With Danger gets its digi-funk post-hip-hop ghetto-tech groove on without a wink. Chicago-based threesome TRS-80 get their kicks out of being a live electronic band named after a lo-tech, Radio Shack computer. Unlike the oft-compared Boards of Canada, TRS-80 don't seem compelled by nostalgia so much as using the past for textural source material. Analog synths produce seriously deep lines and add Stevie Wonder-like interludes for tracks like "Hand Over Fist," while wonderful arpeggios sprinkle organ fantasy breakbeats on "Phantom Power." The live drumming is especially noted on tracks like "I Am Energy," where polyrhythm combines with ambient samples (taken from early tracks) and old TV dialogue to produce a bubbling but strangely down-tempo electronic music for a postclub world.

Dread Kennedys: A Tribute To Dead Kennedys CD  (1999)

Trs-80 CD discography
CD $7.55
What was less predictable was that it would take this form: a collection of DK covers performed according to the artists' varying interpretations of the dub reggae tradition. Be forewarned: this is not the drugged, mystical dub that fans of King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry know and love. In these tribute-happy times, it was only a matter of time before we'd see one devoted to the mandarins of post-hardcore punk, the Dead Kennedys. Instead, these tracks are mostly highly aggressive, techno-laced takes on the dub tradition, and the songs are, for the most part, pretty unrecognizable. That's not what you get when you let Pigface, Meg Lee Chin, or Sheep on Drugs loose in the studio.
