| | B-12 Time Tourist CD B-12 Discography of CDs
B12's Mike Golding and Steve Rutter may hail from England, but their hearts are in Detroit. Devotees of the warm, synth-propelled glide and future-rhythm drive particular to such Motor City pioneers as Juan Atkins and Derrick May, Golding and Rutter were actually once missionaries who carried the techno torch and its attendant gospel across the Atlantic. Together with such ardent English crusaders as The Black Dog, As One, and Stasis, B12 built the earliest bridges between suburban British bedrooms and the streets of Techno City, U.S.A.
Following in the propensity that techno artists have for fostering multiple aliases, B12 is actually a collective label for several projects--Cmetric, Redcell, and Musicology. TIME TOURIST, Golding and Rutter's second formal B12 album, transcends these confusing name-game permutations and delivers a solid set of loftily melodic mindscapes, fantastic sci-fi sounds, and fancifully funky rhythms. "Cymetry," a busy, ingeniously orchestrated dance of lunar take-offs and landings, is music for spaceports. Tracks like "Epilion" and "Radiophonic Workshop" suggest dancehall universes where multiple mirror-ball suns cast spangled starlight upon the intertwined rotations of lambent planetary bodies.

Time Tourist songs
 $11.18    
CHRISTMAS ON MARS might be the Flaming Lips' bona fide sci-fi epic, but EMBRYONIC is the musical equivalent of the final scenes of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY: transformative chaos that results in a new start. From THE SOFT BULLETIN onward, the Lips seemed focused on tidying the loose ends of their earlier work, almost to the point of constraining themselves. Their wilder side is unleashed on Embryonic's 18 tracks, and the band sounds more off-the-cuff than it has in years -- some tracks are barely longer than snippets, others are rangy epics, and it all holds together so organically that listeners might wonder just how much these songs were edited. Musically, EMBRYONIC is the least polite the Flaming Lips have been in nearly two decades, mixing in-the-red drums, blobby, dubby bass, squelchy wah-wah guitars, and sparkling keyboards into a swirl of sounds that are strangely liquid and abrasive at the same time. Occasionally, the band uses noise in an almost ugly way, as on "Convinced of the Hex," which scrapes eardrums with static and distortion ...

If there was any flaw with Brandi Carlile's second album, THE STORY, it's that it was perhaps a touch too austere, painted in amber tones by producer T Bone Burnett. Its 2009 sequel, GIVE UP THE GHOST, opens up and breathes, perhaps partially due to swapping T Bone for Rick Rubin, who retains the spooky, serious vibe but makes things a little less chilly. This isn't sealed off; there is room for guests here, including such L.A. linchpins ...

This 1999 reissue contains three bonus tracks not included on the original release.
Between the early 1970s and early '80s, Kansas made a long musical journey, starting out as complex prog-rock merchants, deeply indebted to the technically dazzling, epic works of Yes, Genesis, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. A decade on, the band had trimmed its sound to the bare bones, pounding out relatively straightforward, hard-edged AOR. THE BEST OF KANSAS ably illustrates how ...
