Embracing rhythms as the key sonic signature for this album (thus the title in part), on Groundloop, In the Nursery bring over a bit of their more experimental side from Les Jumeaux to a set of eight songs, nearly all of which have more active, complex drumming and drum patterns than the band has tried before. In many ways Groundloop is one of the most poppy things the Humberstones have ever created, with the trademarks of their work together -- classical arrangements, a cinematic, mysterious mood, and more -- informed by a newer accessibility. The album is also one of the shorter ones they've done in a long while -- eight songs, 45 minutes -- while Dolores Marguerite C.'s singing is similarly focused and straightforward, as can be heard on "Groundloop" itself and "Hymn Noir." The latter is a charging track in particular; not quite a dancefloor number along the line of some Les Jumeaux songs, but still close to it, as the pulsing synth bass work indicates ("Chronicle," delivered in some very lovely Spanish, and other songs use that as well). For all this, the band's sense of artistic reach isn't compromised, and some of the songs easily rank among In the Nursery's most powerful and passionate. "Allegory" in particular is astonishing, rolling drums and Henrik Linnemann's flute backing a soaring, ever-strengthening surge of strings while Dolores Marguerite C. beautifully recites extracts from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Once or twice things get a touch draggy, with some of the instrumentals being listenable enough but not as compelling as the band at its absolute best. But as is generally the case with In the Nursery, the pluses far outweigh the minuses, resulting in another fine album from the Humberstones. ~ Ned Raggett

The Wire (2/00, p.60) - "...Their penchant for glossy early 80s style synth sweeps mingled with late romantic orchestral motifs...and a brooding, Gothic atmosphere gives this the feel of Ambient Techno influenced by late Cure....Lush sentiments in billboard proportions..."

Groundloop music CDs
$12.59 Opera IX, who hails from some unidentified county locale between Milan and Turin, made a name for themselves in the '90s as one of southern Europe's upcoming metal groups. On this, their third full-length and first concept LP, they deliver the album that many thought they could make -- a brutal, epic record whose sound ranges from black to classic heavy metal. As with other Opera IX albums, the hook is the voice of Cadaveria, their female lead singer. It's no soprano wailing, as opera might lead you to believe, just grim, guttural ...

$12.89 This outing from trumpeter Jeff Jarvis is quite commercial, with mundane originals, a few pop/R&B tunes, and Thad Jones' "A Child Is Born" all being given consistently unimaginative treatment.
