Giant Sand's ninth album represents a new peak for this fine and prolific band. Led by Howe Gelb and based in Arizona, the band roams freely between raucous, loud rock & roll and country-tinged balladry. There are definite parallels between this band's work and the work of Neil Young, especially his more sprawling efforts with Crazy Horse.

CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE is made up of some of Gelb's best songs. There's the cheerful and popish "Milkshake Girl," followed by the gorgeous "Stuck." The latter song melds a churchly bearing (complete with swelling organ parts) with a casually honest first-person narrative. The band plays with commitment and devotion to the material and to the moment at every turn. Gelb and cohorts have released many fine works, and this is decidedly one of the best to start with for the unfamiliar.

Additional personnel includes: Victoria Williams (background vocals).

Producers: Howe Gelb, Michael Dumas, John Convertino.

Giant Sand: Howe Gelb (vocals, guitar, harmonica, piano); Joey Burns (acoustic bass); Paula Jean Brown (electric bass); John Convertino (drums, kalimba).

Spin (5/93, pp.85-87) - Highly Recommended - "...probably Gelb's most straightly rockin' release ever....Gelb's lyrics are filled with rambling truth and trash-biting imagery, while his guitar work embraces an incredible width of style and invention..."

DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts. Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson. Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, ...

Las Breakloose: Lost La's 1984-1986 CD  (2000) Import

Center Of The Universe CD music
CD $17.45
This British import collects 14 tracks worth of unrelease La's goodness. Breakloose is a collection of songs from a time when Lee Mavers shared songwriting responsibilities with Mike Badger. Fans looking for any hints of the majesty of The La's are going to be extremely disappointed with these 14 songs. It's generally a bad sign when an album's first/title track is as weak and poorly recorded as "Breakloose (Live)." A somewhat touching song that doesn't quite succeed in reaching its somber pop destination, "Open Your Heart" is the only track that displays any hint of the greatness that was to come for the band; it actually sounds more like the Clientele than the La's, except the song in no way evokes the timeless charms found on the Clientele's Suburban Light. The remainder of the tracks on Breakloose are a combination of obvious, unfocused throwaways. "Sweet 35," "Trees and Plants," and "Red Deer Stalk" see the band making goofy stabs at finding an original sound. "Trees and Plants" has an ineffective psychedelic rockabilly feel. "Night Walk" suggests the band was attempting a Joy Division sound, but there's no soul to the song and no Martin Hannett in sight. "Get Down Over" almost works, but it's far too monotonous to call for repeat plays. "What Do You Do?" is a bit pretty but not memorable. A fan of The La's isn't going to find much to like on Breakloose. "Open Your Heart," the sole sign of the band's later direction, doesn't merit looking into other early recordings by the La's. Breakloose suggests that the La's didn't reach their glory until Lee Mavers wrestled complete control of the band. That didn't happen until after all of these songs had been recorded. ~ Tim DiGravina What a tease. Liverpool's The La's released only one LP, 1990's exceptional ...
