 (1 Customer Review)
This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Although THE FIRST OF THE MICROBE HUNTERS was described by the band and promoted by Elektra Records as an EP, this seven-track release runs ... Full Descriptionover 40 minutes, as long or longer than many band's full-length efforts. This proves the effortlessness with which Stereolab creates their trademark blend of hypnotic Latin and German rhythms, urgent post-punk guitar attack, and chilly synth drones, topped with Laetitia Sadier's alluring bilingual croon and heady lyrics. THE FIRST OF THE MICROBE HUNTERS is centered on a pair of epic tunes, "Outer Bongolia" and "I Feel the Air (Of Another Planet)," that run nearly 20 minutes between them. But the remaining five tracks are equally compelling, most notably the floaty "Intervals." Much like 1993's essential THE GROOP PLAYED SPACE AGE BATCHELOR (sic) PAD MUSIC, this EP is as enjoyable as any of Stereolab's longer albums.

Melody Maker (6/13/00, p.82) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Indecipherable, Marxist-Situationist lyrics, funkily motorik grooves, samba-friendly shakers, sweetly cooing vocal harmonies, the hum and gurgle of museum-bound synths, the strum and glide of a thousand gently stroked guitars..."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/00, p.118) - "...The embodiment of [their] happy insularity: strait-laced pop music is shown the door by Krautesque repetition, but the 'Lab's fondness for Latin exotica pushes the music well clear of egghead tedium..."

First Of The Microbe Hunters album
 $10.39   
Principally recorded at Record One Studios & Larrabee Studios, Los Angeles, California. Originally released on Epic/Sony (45400).
Digitally remastered by Bernie Grundman (Bernie Grundman Mastering, Los Angeles, California).
After a lengthy gap of nearly five years, Jackson had to pull something out of the bag. BAD was, after all, a difficult act to follow, and the press were trying to prove he was bonkers. This was a pretty decent attempt and fell in with the hard dance beat of the early 90s. "Heal The World" was much like the old melodic Jackson, and it became a major hit. "Black Or White" was the best of the rest, a well-constructed song in which he attempted to repeat "Ebony And Ivory" in the context of 90s dance music.

First Of The Microbe Hunters CD music
$15.64  
Among white blues singers of the 1960s, there were some who studied the music so intently they amazed even the genre's creators with their technical mastery. A select few, however, seemed to be born oozing authenticity, sounding just as soulful as the greatest black bluesmen while forging a completely new sound. Johnny Winter belonged in the second category. A long-haired hippie albino, he astounded initially skeptical listeners with his Howlin' Wolf-like vocals and ...

For punk, metal or hard rock bands, the unplugged album is the one that shows whether they've been succeeding simply on energy and volume, or because of real talent. (Anyone who remained a skeptic of Kurt Cobain's songwriting skills must have been converted by Nirvana's MTV UNPLUGGED masterpiece.) And OCTAHEDRON, a quieter and more subdued Mars Volta album, proves that same fact for a band that's ...
| | Michael Jackson Greatest Hits: History Vol. 1 CD (2001)
First Of The Microbe Hunters songs
$12.95
Includes liner notes by Elizabeth Taylor, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Steven Spielberg, Michael Jackson.
Having spent most of the '90s laying low, Michael Jackson spent much of the latter part of 2001 reintroducing himself to the public with a studio album (INVINCIBLE) and deluxe reissues of his Epic Records canon. Also released was GREATEST HITS: HIStory VOL.1, essentially Disc 1 of the similarly named 2-CD 1995 anthology HIStory: PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE BOOK 1. Regardless of how obvious the strategy of flooding the market with past and present material may have been, there's no denying how the contents of the GREATEST HITS package go a long way towards supporting the moniker of the self-proclaimed King Of Pop.
Amid rumors of rampant eccentricities, MJ plowed ahead crafting memorable numbers ranging from infectious dance numbers ("Wanna Be Starting' Somethin'," "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough") to heartfelt pleas for peace ("Black Or White", "Heal The World"). Jacko's pure chart dominance found him breaking MTV's glass ceiling of color behind the THRILLER juggernaut and its slew of smashes: - "Billie Jean," "The Girl Is Mine" (with Paul McCartney"), "Thriller," ...
| | Green Day 21st Century Breakdown CD (2009)
First Of The Microbe Hunters album
$15.29
Still enamored of the concept of the concept album more than four years after AMERICAN IDIOT, Green Day unveiled its rock-opera sequel, 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN, in 2009. Like its predecessor, BREAKDOWN wholeheartedly embraces the iconic punk-pop act's shift to a stadium-filling sound, while also remaining loyal to the San Francisco-based trio's progressive sociopolitical outlook. Even with a president in the White House that outspoken frontman Billie Joe Armstrong supports, he still finds plenty to rail against, with much of BREAKDOWN alluding to the earlier Bush years of the new millennium, particularly the surging, Queen-like title track.
Aiding Armstrong and his comrades in their sonic attack against conservative authority ...

$17.05
The title might sound like hyperbole, but this two-disc collection is, in fact, a pretty fair summation of Michael Jackson's career up to 2005. Of course, it's impossible for two discs to hold every hit single Michael Jackson has ever had, but THE ESSENTIAL MICHAEL JACKSON starts with the Jackson Five's debut single, "I Want You Back," and ends 38 tracks later with the 2001 comeback attempt "You Rock My World." In between is a chronological overview of some of the most significant pop music in the last three decades of the ...
