Was this the first legitimate US all-synth band? To all intents and purposes, yes. Mother Mallard were the Anglo doppelgangers of Tangerine Dream, but where the Dream first dipped themselves in a primer of Pink Floyd, Mother Mallard were reflected ... Full Descriptionin a post-modernist mirror whose silver coating alchemically merged the minimalists (Steve Reich) with the laboratory process music of the rank academia. Mother Mallard's compositions weren't about deep space and investigations of gelatinous environments--their brand of music was informed by classical works as much as it was by rock.
"Ceres Motion" weaves a complex series of sequencer patterns in a powerful hypnotic mantra that suggests machines locked in a tight embrace; the atmospheric "Cloudscape for Peggy" works a series of repetitive drones to the same exhilarating effect. Mother Mallard's players--composers David Borden, Steve Drews and Linda Fisher--managed to bring academia to bear upon "populist" electronic music as well as commercialism, relieving the dry cadences of the former without resorting to the crass sensibilities of the latter. The result was one of US electronica's least known, yet most critically important, historical chapters.

1970-1973 CD music

When it comes to a ground-breaking, iconic band like the Who, dubbing an anthology THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION is no small claim. The kicker here is that it happens to be the truth. Without venturing into the realm of the box set, there's never been such a definitive batch of Who tunes all under one roof before. Virtually all the bases are covered here, from such attitude-laden mid-'60s mod anthems as "My Generation" and "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" to the conceptual expansiveness of TOMMY-era tunes ("I'm Free," "See Me Feel Me"). We get the full-on long-haired, bare-chested glory of the early '70s ("Won't Get Fooled Again") as well as the tapered, synth-flecked smartness of the early '80s ("Eminence Front," "You Better You Bet." For someone looking for an entry point into the work of this larger-than-life group, or just ...
