5 stars Best album I've heard in a long, long time!
If I were to choose one cd from the 90's, it would probably be Thud. All of the songs are great, and extremely well-crafted. No matter how many times I listen to this album, I can't seem to get tired of it.

Kevin Gilbert was truly a musical and lyrical genious!

3 stars Toy matinee
Haven't heard Thud, but Toy Matinee is my favorite album of the 90s, and I'm ordering Thud immediately.

5 stars Thankfully, his genius work lives on!
Thud is truly a masterwork. A bit more edgy than Toy Matinee (which was also an excellent album). Really difficult to catagorize this record other than to say if you enjoy intelligent lyrics and artfully crafted rock/pop/prog influenced music, you'll like this. If you hunt a bit you can also find Kevin in the band called Girrafe when he was younger. Post Thud, you can find "The Shaming of the True" a rock opera that was finished and released after Kevins passing. Also out there is Kaviar, an album also released postumously. It's VERY edgy and a few tracks are a bit challenging but others are as great as one would expect from Kevin and his collaberators. Buy Thud, you won't be sorry!

5 stars Don't overlook TOY MATINEE
For those of us who love THUD, more Kevin Gilbert can be found within the band TOY MATINEE. Well produced, sardonic, virtuoso Kevin in a "band" setting.

Lady Gaga Fame CD (2008)

Thud album

$9.99

The times were crying out for a pop star like Lady GaGa -- a self-styled, self-made shooting star, one who mocked the tabloid digital age while still wanting to wallow in it -- and one who's smart enough to pull it all off, too. That self-awareness and satire were absent in the pop of the new millennium, where even the best of the lot operated only on one level, which may be why Lady GaGa turned into such a sensation in 2009: everybody was thirsty for music like this, music for and about their lives, both real and virtual. To a certain extent, the reaction to The Fame may have been a little too enthusiastic, with GaGa turning inescapable sometime in the summer of 2009, when she appeared on countless magazine covers while both Weezer and DAUGHTRY covered "Pokerface," the rush to attention suggesting that she was the second coming of Madonna, a comparison GaGa cheerfully courts and one that's accurate if perhaps overextended. Like the marvelous Madge, Lady GaGa ushers the underground into the mainstream -- chiefly, a dose of diluted Peaches delivered via a burbling cauldron of electro-disco -- by taming it just enough so it's given the form of pop yet remains titillating. Sure, GaGa sings of disco sticks, bluffin' with her muffin, and rough sex, but her provocation doesn't derive solely from her words: this is music that sounds thickly sexy with its stainless steel synths and dark disco rhythms. Where GaGa excels, and why she crossed over, ...

Doobie Brothers Captain And Me CD (1973) (Import)

Thud CD music

$27.45

CAPTAIN AND ME found the Doobie Brothers boasting three strong vocalists, two expert guitarists, and a brace of rhythmic drummers, refining a sound that crossed AM pop-rock, soul-tinged R&B, country-folk, jazzy gospel, and strong musicianship. The result burst the band into national prominence. Traces of Moby Grape, whom the group adored, can be heard in their vibrant harmonies and flowing hooklines, but THE CAPTAIN AND ME showed an act of singular purpose. The effervescent urgency propelling the percolating groover "Long Train Running" and the leaner rock of "China Grove" into the US singles charts is apparent on every selection. In addition to the band's gorgeous layered harmonies and twin guitar arpeggios, THE CAPTAIN AND ME features the band's strongest and most consistent set of songs. Patrick Simmons's mellow, country-rock numbers, such as "South City Midnight Lady" and "Clear As the Driven Snow," abut Tom Johnson's rockers, like the majestic title track. In short, this record defines the classic ...

Corinne Bailey Rae Sea CD (2010)

Thud album

$13.64

After selling four million copies of her debut album, an effort filled with her precious brand of neo-soul and the uplifting hit "Put Your Records On," singer/songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae lost her husband Jason Rae suddenly and took two years off to grieve and recover before returning with her second effort, The Sea. On the album's opener "Are You Here," lyrics like "Wait till you see those eyes" and "He'll kiss you make you feel sixteen" suggest she's just fallen in love, but the fascinating idea behind The Sea is that it never explains itself, even if there's a new richness in Rae's soft and oh-so-tender voice that suggests something has changed deep inside. As such, the song's "What's it even mean?" question could be the beginning of a love affair or a tragedy, but the following "I'd Do It All Again" is even trickier, as post-argument lyrics written before her husband's tragic loss ("You're searching for something I know/Won't make you happy") take on new meaning . Further confusing the matter, throughout the album the singer speaks of her love in the present tense. Then there are the numbers that come from left field, like the slithering, funky "The Blackest Lilly," which struts like a sexy Rolling Stones song while pulling inspiration from Philadelphia's neo-soul party, the Black Lily. It comes to a moving end with the title track, a masterful piece that looks back through generations of loss and the majestic ocean of time that "Breaks everything/Crushes ...

David Bowie Reality Tour CDs (2004) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Canada

Thud CD music

$18.05

Originally released as a home video in 2004, David Bowie's A Reality Tour saw a two-CD audio release slated for January 2010, with three previously unreleased bonus tracks -- "Fall Dogs Bombs the Moon," "Breaking Glass," "China Girl" -- adding value to those hardcore fans who already own this concert as a DVD. In either the video or audio incarnation, this November 2003 Dublin, Ireland show is an entertaining, open-hearted set, finding Bowie running through a generous selection of oldies -- both hits and album tracks, including songs written by Bowie, like "All the Young Dudes" and "Sister Midnight" -- and new songs that hold up well next to the classics. This is Bowie in his mode as a crowd-pleasing professional, playing with considerable charm and skill, offering no surprises but plenty of pleasure: it's not the first album that will come to mind when thinking of live Bowie, but as it's playing, it's hard to resist. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Covering his career splendidly and pulling out a couple surprise numbers gives the A Reality Tour DVD a set list to die for if you're a hardcore Bowie fan, but the sterile perfection of the band makes this a pass for the only curious. The sound quality is just fine, the video quality is pretty good (some of the lighting just doesn't agree with the cameras), and there's an effort to keep things ...
