| | Adrian Belew Op Zop Too Wah CD Adrian Belew Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
But Belew is no average tunesmith. The astonishing range of his technical facility and all-around musicianship, and his fascination with varied sonic textures and dense polyrhythms, can generate savage, tribal trips through the jungle ("Of Bow and Drum") or ethereal, surreal impressions ("Sky Blue Red Bird Green House"). Belew's avant-garde sensibilities are in evidence too, especially on cuts such as "Word Play Drum Beat," which features voice samples over a lone rhythm track, the ethno-surf-boogie of the title cut and the ear-bending big top solo on "High Wire Guitar." Taken together, these accomplished experiments make OP ZOP TOO WAH Belew's most interesting and cohesive pop effort since MR. MUSIC HEAD.
After a foray into instrumental improvisation in the modern classical mode (1995's THE GUITAR AS ORCHESTRA), idiosyncratic songwriter and guitar wizard Adrian Belew returned to the pop fold with renewed vigor on OP ZOP TOO WAH. The rocker "Six String" (a love song to his guitar), the Beatles-esque "Beautiful" and the carefree ditty "Something to Do" provide more of the bright, hook-stuffed songcraft that characterized most of Belew's late '80s and early '90s recordings.
Personnel: Adrain Belew (vocals, various instruments); Martha Belew, Sherry Webb, Iris Belew, Ken Latchney, Stan Hertzman (vocals).
Musician (12/96, pp.89-91) - "...his best overall `pop' album yet....besides the usual winning, Beatles-inflected rockers...and craftily melodic ballads...there are also strong hints of Belew's non-pop output....the bruising riffs of `I Remember How To Forget' recall his work with King Crimson..."

Op Zop Too Wah
 $12.59   
Black Eyed Peas, the hip-hop crossover juggernaut that propelled singer Fergie and producer Will.I.Am to superstardom, have, since 2003's ELEPHUNK, been audaciously plugging away at their bombastic but lighthearted style of rap-cum-dance pop--an effort that has translated to a run of successful chart-topping singles including "My Humps," "Pump It," and "Don't Phunk with My Heart." Eager to follow up on the platinum-selling success of 2005's MONKEY BUSINESS, Black Eyed Peas have returned with THE E.N.D. (an ...

Op Zop Too Wah
$13.58  
Georgia-based psychedelic rock band (calling them a metal act seems very reductive, though there's some seriously headbangable material on this disc) Baroness has made a subtle but unmistakable evolutionary leap on this, their second full-length and a clear companion piece to 2007's RED ALBUM. It's hard to say exactly what new guitarist Pete Adams has brought to the band after replacing drummer Allen Blickle's brother Brian, but ...

| | Flight Of The Conchords I Told You I Was Freaky CD (2009) Digipak
Op Zop Too Wah
$12.44
After a glorious first season that earned the HBO show six Emmy nominations, Flight of the Conchords' second run didn't quite pack the same comedic punch. Some would say it was because the premise lost its luster, but it was mostly because the music just wasn't as strong. Most of the songs in Season One were pre-written and hashed out over years of stand-up, and for Season Two, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie were in a time crunch: forced to write a dozen or so funny songs and ten episodes from scratch. Considering the circumstances, FOTC's second Sub-Pop outing, I TOLD YOU I WAS FREAKY, has some worthwhile moments. In the R. Kelly-based "We're in Love with a Sexy Lady," Bret and Jemaine debate semantics while trying to determine if they're after the same lazy-eyed girl. "When'd you meet this lady?/Then./When?/Then./Right then?/Right then./Where?/There./Over there?/Over there./Over there there?/Over there there there," and so on, building up to Bret's ultimate question, "Was her name Brabra?" ...

Op Zop Too Wah
$10.45 
After the 1979 release of the precocious but misunderstood double album TUSK, which fell disappointingly below the mind-blowing sales of 1977's multi-platinum RUMOURS, the band decided to take a safer route for their next release. In sunny contrast to the melancholy introspection of TUSK, 1982's MIRAGE returned the band to bright melodies and hit single material. The advent of MTV led the band to release two artistic videos in conjunction with the record, the Magritte-inspired desert fantasy of "Hold Me," Christine McVie's lush, pleading love song, and the handsome, Depression-era ...
