Reissue of the second album from the leaders of the Madchester scene in the late 80s & early 90s. Includes 'Mad Cyril', 'Do It Better', 'Lazyitis' and 'Wrote For Luck'. French import.
Raves were the backdrop to life in late '80s Britain and the most prominently featured band on the soundtrack were the Happy Mondays. They crashed onto the scene (six years into their career) with their first album, SQUIRREL AND G-MAN TWENTY FOUR HOUR PARTY PEOPLE PLASTIC FACE CAN'T SMILE (WHITE OUT)-a title which speaks for itself really.
BUMMED, the follow-up, produced by the Manchester-based producer Martin Hannett, was a further step in the direction of total Madchester domination. Strangely, however, the Happy Mondays weren't about the feel-good, ecstasy-fueled good times that most associated with the scene at the time. They were the seedy underbelly of the scene--the thugs, if you will. They stole musical ideas from everyone (note: "Lazy Itis" owes a debt to "Ticket to Ride") and singer Shaun Rider alienated everyone by issuing careless, homophobic statements to the press. But for awhile the Mondays were on top. Listen to BUMMED to find out why.
Reissue of the second album from one of the top bands of the Madchester scene in the late '80s & early '90s. 'Bummed' was first released in 1988 & has been out of print in the U.S. for years. Includes 'Mad Cyril', 'Do It Better', 'Lazyitis' and 'Wrote For Luck'.
Recorded at The Slaughterhouse, Great Driffield, East Yorkshire, England in August 1988.
Personnel includes: Horseman (banjo); Steve Hopkins (piano); Dave Hassell (percussion).
Q (7/96, p.102) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...proves to be slowly snowballing gernerational touchstone, encapsulating multi-coloured `baggy' outlook to point just short of perfection..."
Uncut (p.81) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's with BUMMED that indie-rock finally escaped the student union and returned to street level."
Q (Magazine) (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Fizzing with the hunger of desperate rouges dreaming of escaping their council estate, there's a line to be drawn from its cocky Northern posture right through to Oasis and Arctic Monkeys."

Bummed
$7.59
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN is Spiritualized's crowning acheivement, a masterpiece of '90s psychedelia that captures the mystery and invention of groups like Pink Floyd and Spirit while sounding thoroughly contemporary. The seeds were sown with Spacemen 3. After J Spaceman defected to form Spiritualized, those seeds were ...
| | Happy Mondays Pills 'N' Thrills And Bellyaches CD (1990)
Bummed
$9.85
From the opening bars of this near-masterpiece, the Madchester generation was defined, celebrated, and perhaps laid to rest. Combining the best elements of their earlier releases--stolen riffs, howling in a whisper, being generally rude and obnoxious yet somehow entirely endearing, the Happy Mondays created the ultimate sex, drugs, and rock & roll package.
With the acoustic strumming of the LaBelle rip-off "Kinky Afro," PILLS 'N' THRILLS' scene is set. In ...
| | Happy Mondays Squirrel & G-Man 24 Hour Party... CD (1987) (Import) Netherlands
Bummed
$11.79 
The John Cale-produced 1987 debut by Manchester's Happy Mondays was the first shot in the musical revolution that would transform the U.K. indie music scene two years later, with the "Madchester Scene" of scruffy guitar bands introducing samplers and dance rhythms into their music; the single "24 Hour Party People" provided the title to Michael Winterbottom's 2002 film about the rise and fall of Factory Records, in which Happy Mondays played a key role.
Happy Mondays' debut album was in retrospect a false start, but not as much of one as has been claimed. Production by John Cale was an odd choice -- certainly fewer bands were out there who had less of an open connection to the Welsh legend's musical approach -- but the end results capture the cluttering mess of the band's approach well enough. The wild card is the presence of original member Paul Davis on keyboards, who adds some subtle touches throughout that make the band sound a touch more relaxed than they really were, as on "Oasis." (Bez wasn't around at this point -- but then again, was he ever around even when he was in the band?) Shaun Ryder certainly is well on his own way, though, his attitude-laden delivery already finding the perfect balance between random incomprehensibility, sharp images, and inspired nonsense. The album's standout track ...
| | Broken Social Scene You Forgot It In People CD (2002) (Import) Canada
Bummed
$10.39
Nothing less than an indie-rock milestone, this is what happens when a number of musicians from the Canadian post-rock scene (including members of Godspeed You Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion, and Do Make Say Think) abandon their extended-jam conceptualizing in favor of short, optimistic, pop-oriented songs. Things start out in a jazzy, bass-heavy space before morphing into "KC Accidental," a guitar-layered track that sounds like the Allman Brothers covering Sonic Youth's "Teenage Riot." Catchy hooks triplicate alongside hand clapping, fuzz guitar, and Brendan Canning's whispered vocals on "Stars and Sons," while the mellow, acoustic "Looks Just Like the Sun" gives way to the twangy neo-Tropicalia and cockeyed (but uplifting and cohesive) experimentalism of "Pacific Theme."
Emily Haines (of the Metrics) lends a vocal to "Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl," which ends in a roundelay of swirling violins and banjo. "Cause = Time" is an even more tuneful brother to "Stars and Sons" that's so good, by the time the mournful, gorgeous "Lover's Spit" comes up one might be too satisfied to appreciate its obscene levels of craftsmanship. For a band with so many members, Broken Social Scene creates a remarkably spacious ...

| | David Murray Octet Plays Trane CD (2000) (Import) Canada
Bummed
$15.19
Tenor saxophonist David Murray and his octet rise to the challenge of performing five classic John Coltrane compositions not by playing note-for-note recreations but by allowing Trane's searching spirit to dominate the proceedings. Murray shines on all tracks, switching between tenor and bass clarinet. The octet featuring pianist D.D. Jackson, trombonist Craig Harris, trumpeters Ravi Best and Rasul Siddik, alto saxophonist and flutist James Spaulding, bassist Jaribu Shahid, and drummer Mark Johnson sound like twice the number of musicians throughout this disc. This is especially true on ...
