Recorded in New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Pat Gilbert.
ELECTRIC was the Cult's mainstream breakthrough album in the United States, where the UK band's previous records, DREAMTIME and LOVE, had been embraced by college radio. After unsatisfying sessions with LOVE producer Steve Brown, the Cult hooked up with superstar hip-hop producer (and unapologetic 1970s-boogie fan) Rick Rubin to re-record the tracks, and his changes make the album. Adding a drum sound as loud as his previous work with the Beastie Boys and Run-DMC and beefing up Billy Duffy's lead guitar riffs into full-on Led Zeppelin territory, Rubin completed the Cult's makeover from psych-tinged goths into the '70s-inspired hard-rockers (with a heavy Doors influence, as well). The revved-up singles "Love Removal Machine" and "Lil' Devil" best exemplify ELECTRIC, which is arguably the band's best album.
Reissue digitally remastered from the original masters with expanded artwork which includes new photos & liner notes. Beggars Banquet.

 Sitting on a mountain, staring at the sun...
Dudes, if you're into heavy metal and hard rock, you've gotta get this album.
I've always been of the mind that this album, "Electric" by The Cult, has got to be one of the best all-around rock albums of the 80's.
While none of the tracks top "She Sells Sanctuary," this album, taken as a whole, is excellent rock fare.
"Aphrodesiac Jacket" is like nothing before or since, baybee.

Superiority stands the test of time
At least this album ruled with a simple guitar riff (simple) :(

Electric
 $10.15   
Principally recorded at Jacob's Studio, Farham, England in July & August 1985. Includes liner notes by Pat Gilbert.
The Cult's 1984 debut, DREAMTIME, proved to be an intriguing, if sometimes muddled, combination of early U2 and the Doors, topped off with Ian Astbury's ongoing lyrical fascination with Native American mythology. The immediate follow-up, LOVE, was a notable improvement. Ditching the most overt Doors references in favor of moody neo-psychedelia that sounds like a harder-rocking version of Echo & the Bunnymen, LOVE includes "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Rain." These driving singles introduced the UK band to the American college-radio market and laid the foundation for the group's mainstream commercial breakthrough later in the decade. The rest of the album is nearly up to the level of the singles, with Astbury's less-mannered vocals and Billy Duffy's powerful guitar riffs offering a much more assertive musical presence than ever before.

| | Cult CD (1994) Remastered
Electric
$9.89
In the three years since the last Cult album, their absence has been filled by grunge, the latest version of the big guitar sound. Thankfully, the Cult have returned to place their flambouyant stamp on guitar rock.
The newest album, simply titled THE CULT, returns them to the throne of power chordia, but this time around they aren't stuck in their '70s rut. THE CULT is proof the the '90s have left their mark on the band.
The album is littered with bitter references to drug casualties and the ensuing emotional aftermaths. Scott Garrett's drums are boosted up hip-hop heavy, Billy Duffy's guitar sounds eerier and Ian Astbury's lyrics are just plain vicious. "You dirty hippie girl/Your lips make me swirl" he snarls, and it's obvious that the fun-lovin', free-lovin' '70s nostalgia that originally inspired The Cult is over. The Cult's newest album finds their feet planted firmly in the ...
| | U F O Force It CD (2008) (Import) Remastered; United Kingdom
Electric
$10.25
This remastered edition of UFO's 1975 album FORCE IT contains "Let It Roll," "Mother Mary," Shoot Shoot," and more.
If UFO has one addition to rock's pantheon of classic albums, this is it. FORCE IT builds on its predecessor, PHENOMENON, by taking the band further away from their fuzzier, space-rocking early records. Guitarist Michael Schenker's playing has a new toughness and clarity that perfectly frames the more melodic, hook-oriented songwriting he developed in tandem with singer Phil Mogg. ...

| | Eurythmics Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) CD (1982) Japan; Deluxe Edition
Electric
$7.59
1983's SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS) is actually Eurythmics' second album, but 1981's Krautrock-influenced IN THE GARDEN was never released in the US and made minimal waves in the rest of the world. Thanks to two striking videos and some canny self-promotion on the part of androgynous singer Annie Lennox, this was certainly not the case with this much-improved follow-up.
The hypnotic drone of the title track and the ticking, pressurized "Love Is A Stranger," were enormous radio and video hits around the world, but much of the album belies the synth-pop tag those songs earned. Dave Stewart plays bluesy slide throughout, and the respectful cover of Sam and Dave's "Wrap It Up" gives Lennox a chance to showcase her soulful growl which would, on subsequent albums, replace the chilly soprano featured here.

| | Donnas Gold Medal CD (2004)
Electric
$9.09
Though the Donnas' sound bears elements of punk (they did, after all, start out on Lookout Records, original home of Green Day) and garage rock, they've largely eschewed the trappings of either since the very beginning. As with their previous five records, GOLD MEDAL is simply a straight-up, no-frills rock & roll album, owing as much to the Runaways as it does to the Ramones. The Donnas have come off as tough girls since the beginning, and they don't soften their sound a bit here. Biting, primal guitar hooks, snarling vocals, and thundering, martial drums rage from start to finish, full of grit and fire, but streamlined to the bare essentials by Chris Lord-Alge's high-efficiency production. By refusing to bow to the genre specifications of pop-punk, alt-rock, or anything else, the Donnas craft a timeless edifice of rock & roll fury ...
| | Travis Singles CD (2004)
Electric
$10.09
When Travis burst onto the American scene in 2000 with the ubiquitous "Why Does It Always Rain on Me?," most Stateside listeners assumed that the Scottish foursome was a proverbial overnight sensation. In fact, the group had been making the scene in the UK for nearly five years, garnering rabid media attention and racking up an impressive string of hits. SINGLES sets the record straight, collecting many of the band's most popular works and adding "Walking in the Sun," a newly recorded track. Of course, fans have always championed Travis's tuneful mix of 1970s-inspired singer/songwriter rock and emotive modern pop of the Jeff Buckley/Radiohead variety. Less angst-ridden than either of the aforementioned acts, the band's gently strummed acoustic guitars and smooth vocals often recall Bread with a tougher rhythm ...
