| | Looper Geometrid CD Looper Discography of CDs
Leaving Belle & Sebastian on the eve of mainstream popularity was a brave move by onetime bass player Stuart David. As the driving force behind Looper, he's proved that he has a lot of his own ideas to offer. THE GEOMETRID takes up where his ... Full Descriptiondebut album UP A TREE left off. The slinky trip-hop atmosphere is still intact, but this time the production is meatier, possibly due to Looper's mutation into a permanent four-piece band.
Kicking off in energetic style with the house-influenced "Mondo 77," THE GEOMETRID is something of a celebration of technology. "Modem Song" tells the story of an email from a Japanese friend, with words set to the atonal bleeps of a modem. "Tomorrow's World" and "My Robot" deal with the gap between futuristic fantasies and real life. Elsewhere there's gentle summer pop ("These Things"), and the '60s-inspired funkiness of "Money Hair." David plays the sensitive outsider card throughout, with a mixture of charm and playfulness.
Looper: Stuart David, Karn David, Ronnie Black, Scott Twynholm.
Additional personnel: Karla Valderama, Jodi (vocals).
2nd Rel
Q (6/00, p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...An eyebrow-raising mish-mash of cheap keyboard and guitar sounds and DIY grooves....an awkward, yet occasionally beautiful listening experience."
Alternative Press (7/00, p.102) - 4 out of 5 - "...Full of wacky noises and sampled beats...we find a charmingly nanve blend of light techno sounds and bleepy analog synths bouncing along with effortlessly catchy melodies and Stuart David's breathy vocals..."
Magnet (6-7/00, p.80) - "...Featherweight pop songs wrapped in lengthy discourse....[Stuart and Karn] David can't help but write catchy tunes once in a while..."
CMJ (5/8/00, p.28) - "...A genius slab of shambolic big beat that casually wipes the floor with anything we've heard lately out of Mr. Fatboy Slim....stitching together wildly incongruous styles into an accidentally cohesive album that succeeds..."
Melody Maker (5/9/00, p.51) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...An album of surprises....you get Stuart [David's] soft weird, storybook prose....[and] the twiddlings and whirrs of clonky ancient technology...:
Mojo (Publisher) (7/00, p.118) - "...Souffle-light concoction of tape-loops, odd samples and fey vocals. At their best, the tracks...are charmingly consumptive little objects imbued with the melancholic ecstasy of summer evenings and childhood sadness..."

Geometrid album
 $15.18  
MONUMENTS & MELODIES is an elliptical allusion to the hits and highlights contained within this 2009 retrospective, a double-disc set that's separated into a CD of singles and a CD of rarities. The first disc does its job efficiently, running through all but two of Incubus' Billboard hits--the minor mainstream rock radio hits "Circles" and "Make a Move" are missing, but the non-charting single "Are You In?" is in its place--bookended by two strong new Brendan O'Brien productions, "Black Heart Inertia" and "Midnight Swim." The second disc is devoted primarily to B-sides and other stray non-LP tracks, including an acoustic version of "A Certain ...

Geometrid CD music
$9.64
For many rock historians, the 1980s officially ended when Nirvana and Pearl Jam were burning up the charts in 1991 and 1992 and major labels started signing alternative rock acts left and right. For some rockers, however, the 1980s never ended--and German guitarist/songwriter Axel Rudi Pell's unwavering commitment to pre-'90s-style metal and hard rock is evident throughout BEST OF AXEL RUDI PELL: ANNIVERSARY EDITION. This 79-minute CD spotlights previously released material from Pell's Johnny Gioeli era; Pell hired Gioeli as his vocalist in 1998, and Gioeli received such a favorable response that Pell was still using him 11 years later in 2009. Although Pell's own songs dominate BEST OF AXEL RUDI PELL, this collection also contains two covers from 2007's DIAMONDS UNLOCKED: Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" and U2's 2000 hit "Beautiful Day," both of which become more hard-rocking in Pell's hands. Although hardly the last word on Pell's solo output of the 1990s and 2000s, BEST OF AXEL RUDI PELL is enthusiastically recommended to casual listeners.
Pell's career began in 1980 with the band, Steeler, who sold over 30,000 copies of their commercially most successful release, Strike Back, and brought out their fourth and final album, Undercover Animal, in 1988. In November ...
