Distillers album
$10.45 The Washington, D.C. straightedge hardcore punk scene began with Minor Threat. The band recorded two LPs on its own Dischord label, plus an EP and the miscellaneous singles that are collected on this CD. Many of the early recordings on this collection seethe with teen-age angst and indignation. The songs rage against bullies, religious hypocrisy, and the herd mentality.
Other songs, taken from later in Minor Threat's career, feature tighter and more sophisticated playing. Metallic flourishes tinge the guitar work, vocal harmonies abound, and song dynamics vary more than on the earlier record. On certain songs, Ian MacKaye's lyrics address the complexities of friendship, loyalty, and self-expression. "Look Back and Laugh," "Little Friend," and "It Follows" all incline more toward introspection and ambiguity; conveying loss and sadness in addition to outrage. This second set of songs seems to especially anticipate MacKaye's later work with Fugazi. The album also contains a few playful numbers like the sing-along cover of "Stepping Stone," and "Cashing In," a mocking dig at greedy musicians. Minor Threat believed completely in the power of its music, helping earn a loyal fan following and the respect of numerous other bands who emulated its style and credo.
Recorded at Inner Ear Studios, Arlington, Virginia between April 1981 and December 1983.
Minor Threat: Ian MacKaye (vocals); Brian Baker (guitar, bass); Lyle Preslar (guitar); Steve Hansgen (bass); Jeff Nelson (drums).
| | Lacuna Coil In A Reverie CD (1999)
Distillers CD music
$13.35 The Italian goth metal act's 1999 album. Nine tracks. Century Media.
On its 1999 full-length debut, IN A REVERIE, the Italian goth-metal ensemble Lacuna Coil offers up a melodic yet moody set of songs that prefigures the successful formula of Arkansas's Evanescence by years. While the group features both male and female vocalists, singer Cristina Scabbia often steals the show with her expressive voice, which is equally effective on amped-up, guitar-driven tunes ("My Wings") and orchestral, pop-tinged numbers ("To Myself I Turned"). Although the band would expand its atmospheric sound even further on later releases (most notably, 2002's COMALIES), this album reveals that Lacuna Coil's bold aesthetic was well formed from the beginning.
Lacuna Coil includes: Christina, Andrea (vocals).

The second snarling album from mouth-foaming punk rock mad-dogs the Distillers. Twelve pop-bullshit-free tracks of glass-breaking, bottle-emptying, and odor-bearing anger, pain and chaos. No posers allowed. Digipak. Hellcat Records.

Engineers include: Kevin Guineri, Donnel Cameron, Brett Gurewitz.
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Distillers album
$11.59 This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that's topped only by Ron Wood's reappearance on a finale of the Stones' "Ruby Tuesday." VH1 PRESENTS THE CORRS LIVE IN DUBLIN is a fine mix of the band's greatest hits with a few well-chosen covers, which will doubtless reach out to new fans and longtime Corrs aficionados alike.
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).
| | Distillers Coral Fang (Explicit Art) CD (2003)
Distillers CD music
$9.55 Impressively, Dalle's self-penned tunes match her gutsy singing, and thanks to her proficient band and Gil Norton's muscular production, certain tracks sound like they could be outtakes from Nirvana's IN UTERO, most noticeably the stomping "The Gallow Is God." Other songs--such as "Dismantle Me," "Die on a Rope," "Love Is Paranoid," and the title track--pulse with a faster, frantic punk energy, while "The Hunger" leads off with an acoustic guitar and "For Tonight You're Only Here to Know" is propelled by a catchy, new wave guitar riff. A welcome antidote to the faux angst peddled by many bands, CORAL FANG proves that the Distillers can channel real rage and frustration into some seriously potent music.
After a pair of scorching indie albums that reminded fans how much fun it was to throw your fist in the air, The Distillers make their major label debut with Coral Fang, produced by Gil Norton (The Pixies, Foo Fighters). 12 tracks. Sire. 2003.
A fiercely passionate juggernaut of punk-fueled rock & roll, CORAL FANG goes straight for the throat from the opening surge of "Drain the Blood." The Distillers are the street-worn vehicle of Brody Dalle, who exorcises her former surname, Armstrong (as in Tim Armstrong of Rancid), in almost every hard-charging song on FANG. As far as break-up albums go, this one's a doozy, largely due to Dalle's gargled-with-gravel voice, which makes Courtney Love sound like a dainty 10-year-old schoolgirl.
The Distillers: Brody Dalle, Tony Bradley (vocals, guitar); Ryan Sinn (vocals, bass); Andy Granelli (drums).

| | Space Time Continuum With Terence McKenna Alien Dreamtime CD (1993)
Distillers songs
$11.15 Recorded live at a rave in San Francisco, California, in February, 1993.
A meeting of the minds merging the arcane texts and psilocybic ruminations of acid guru Terence McKenna with San Francisco's own ambient scribe Jonah Sharp is one of the more inspired pairings in electronica's convoluted landscape. Here Sharp cranks up the analog synths, breaks out the didjeridoos (courtesy of Stephen Kent of Lights in a Fat City fame) and sets up some great, expansive, warbling electronic tundras over which McKenna espouses his lambent text.
Recorded live, this is one of the classic ambient documents, full of varied pulses and oozing atmospheres, all metaphorically glazed with McKenna's measured, obfuscating voice. Just wrap yourself in the ambient gauze that is "Archaic Revival" and prepare for a descent into a maelstrom where the progressivism of the '60s meets the technological miasma of the '90s head-on
Full performer name: Space Time Continuum With Terence McKenna.
Personnel includes: Terence McKenna (vocals).

BEST This cd is a really good cd for the Distillers to start off with. And no offense but if you cant even get the lead singers name right, then maybe you shouldnt be using your times at concerts but looking that crap up, if your a true fan. But anywayz this cd kicks royal a$$!!! Any punk-rocker should own it for their collection. Submitted by Distillers fan (Chicago) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
