While the disc was widely considered to be the most accessible Boredoms album up to that point, that notion is qualified by the fact that the word "accessible" doesn't seem to exist in the ensemble's vocabulary.
Despite the presence of a few more melodies, this is still art-damaged, chaos-obsessed, genre-hopping music that delves into everything from speed metal to Krautrock to collages of pure cacophony. As always, frontman Yamatsuka Eye's arsenal of screams, yelps, and vocal histrionics is the group's main weapon, as revealed on SYNTHESIZER's metal-tinged opener, "Acid Police." Other highlights include the visceral "Action Synthesizer Hero," the insanely giddy "B for Boredoms," and the herky-jerky "I'm Not Synthesizer (YPY?)." Though any Boredoms release is bound to be bizarrely fascinating, CHOCOLATE SYNTHESIZER stands out as one of the mercurial band's best offerings.
In 1994, the Japanese noise-rock collective Boredoms gained its widest exposure in the US as the opening act for that year's first leg of the Lollapalooza touring festival. Drawing acclaim for its kinetic live performances, the almost innately spastic group followed up with CHOCOLATE SYNTHESIZER, its second full-length major-label outing.

Boredoms: Eye, ATR, Yamamotor, Yoshimmy, Hilah, Yoshikawar.
Rolling Stone (7/13-7/27/95, p.111) - "...Without question, the Boredoms are one of the most bizarre, adventurous bands on the planet, but for anyone who doesn't thrill to disjointed beats and cacophonous clatter, CHOCOLATE SYNTHESIZER may be a tough sweet to swallow."
Spin (3/95, pp.95-96) - 6 (out of 10) - "...Their dissonant vocal repertoire...combined with herky-jerky stop-start thrash and spontaneous feedback explosions, hardly beckons for repeated plays. CHOCOLATE SYNTHESIZER is...less abrasive than last year's POP TATARI...leaning more toward conventional song structures..."

Chocolate Synthesizer
 $9.69    
CURTIS is the first solo album by R&B/soul legend Curtis Mayfield. After leaving the Impressions, Mayfield began to write lyrics that were more politically charged. With the 1970 release of CURTIS, he became one of the most important socially conscious artists of his generation. The album's opener, "(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below We're All Going to Go" uses racial epithets openly, as Mayfield asserts the shiftlessness of America. Set to a funky groove, with smart horn arrangements and wah-wah guitar, this song is a brazen attack on social mores, racism, the Vietnam War, religious impropriety, and Nixon-era politics.
"We the People Who Are Darker Than Blue" is another track that poignantly examines the race and class struggles of urban America. This song is made up of more than just a static groove; ...

Both of Suicide's first two proper records are technically untitled, and FIRST ALBUM (also sometimes called the "Red Star Album" after the cover symbol) was barely heard at the time of its initial 1977 release.

Easily one of the most bizarre ensembles to ever grace a major label, Japan's Boredoms debuted on Reprise Records in 1993, riding a strange cloud of buzz that was generated by Sonic Youth, the Beastie Boys, and other outsider-loving bands. While fans of avant-garde saxophonist John Zorn had already heard Boredoms frontman Yamatsuka Eye's frenetic yelps on the former's Naked City recordings, POP TATARI introduced the US alternative-rock crowd ...

Chris Taylor/pianoBarry Smith/bassBob Savine/drums with Marc Adler/flutes------------------------------------------------------------More comments:"Taylor is a strong soloist and composer, and...has a style...with lyrical, well-considered lines. (Adler) and Taylor phrase beautifully together on the unison heads...and they deliver the magic that flute and piano together are capable of. The originals are of high quality. All in all, this is a fine recording and a set well deserving of my recommendation." -David Kane (pianist, composer, reviewer for Cadence Magazine)"I know both Chris Taylor and Marc Adler. They're top notch musicians...This is a beautiful CD with really great writing and playing. Really a pleasure to listen to. I dig this cd!"-Tony Miceli (vibraphonist/webmaster of larrys improv page.com) "Congratulations on completing another great project. Marc really is an exceptional flautist. I'd like to transcribe some of his solos!...keep the great music coming."-Bruce Abbott (saxophonist/flutist/vocalist/North Star Jazz Ensemble)"…we received your new CD. It's wonderful. I've been playing it daily. I had never heard of Marc Adler before. He's terrific."-anonymous------------------------------------------------------------ We can all agree that successful relationships require a good amount of improvisational skills. Here are four jazz musicians, doing what they do best...improvising...while playing to the women in their lives. The cd includes two cover tunes and six originals, played passionately, with a sprinkle of wit and a dash of humor. Marc Adler teams up with my trio on this, the second release from SweetPea Recordings, to record six original compositions along with the title track, “Girl of My Dreams”, a Sonny Clapp creation, recorded by many, including Charles Mingus, and John Coltrane’s beautiful ballad, “Naima”. Marc, an exceptional flutist from Philadelphia, is backed up here by myself, along with the other members of my Boston based trio, two very creative and supportive musicians, Barry Smith on acoustic bass and Bob Savine on drums. This is a project born from an association Marc and I had in the 1980’s, when we both were living and working in the Philadelphia area. We had recorded my tune, “What Fine Muffins”, once before with a fine Philadelphia drummer, Nick Ciminale, whose great musicianship helped create the feel of this tune. “Muffins” was the catalyst that brought us back together to record it again, along with more recent material. We received the sad news of Nick’s passing on December 15th of last year, and so this recording is dedicated to our dear friend and soul-mate. With ample room for all, these guys show a mastery of their instruments along with respectful interaction, essential elements for a successful jazz performance. Reflecting on the women in our lives, we have tried to paint an overall picture of lively ...

Chocolate Synthesizer
$13.85 
With THE 13th FLOOR, Norway's Sirenia unveil their fourth full-length studio album of elegant symphonic metal. Injecting a touch of youthful vigor into the band's sound is the addition of lead female vocalist Ailyn, who gained fame as a contestant on Spain's X FACTOR--a Simon Cowell-organized, European variation of AMERICAN IDOL. Sirena's appeal also lies in their graceful, complex, neo-gothic musical arrangements, which imply a blend of Therion and Within Temptation. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by metal stalwart Tue Madsen (Moonspell, The Haunted, Dark Tranquillity), THE 13TH FLOOR also features a full choir, French violinist Stephanie Valentin, and guest vocalist Jan Kenneth Barkved (who had previously contributed vocals on Sirenia's 2002 debut AT SIXES AND SEVENS).
2009 release from the Norwegian Metal band led by former Tristania vocalist/guitarist ...
