Furniture Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Typical Fugazi...
Not that they're ever typical, except in continuous quality of output. This too-short EP has songs reminiscent of Fugazi's early output, as opposed to the greater melodicism of Red Medicine and The Argument. The first track has an infectious stop-start riff with trademark MacKaye vocals and is probably the highlight. The instrumental is also very good, mixing melodic guitar interplay with squalls of noise. The EP ends with the mandatory Guy rant which is not as good as the first two tracks, but still pretty cool. The only real flaw with this EP is that it lasts a mere 9 minutes.

Fugazi Steady Diet Of Nothing CD (1991)

Furniture

$9.55

Fugazi's third album, STEADY DIET OF NOTHING, finds the Washington D.C. quartet in a restless mood. Although the group sticks to its typically incisive political and social commentary with its lyrics, the band's sound here is clearly in transition, with the bouncy grooves of earlier albums being replaced at times by complex rhythms and droning guitars. The latter is prevalent on the opening "Exit Only," which highlights buzzing feedback and Guy Picciotto's raspy vocals, and "Reclamation," which takes anthemic guitar riffs and Ian MacKaye's unmistakable voice and anchors them in dub-like bass and drums, ...

Fugazi Red Medicine CD (1995)

Furniture

$9.55

Fugazi are as notable for their "political music for the common man" approach as for the stop-start riffing that made their guitars-and-gestalt-therapy sound into an industry buzz. Their 1995 album, RED MEDICINE, reasserts the band's grasp on alterna-angst and charging guitars--enough so to make your jaws lock. Yet, RED MEDICINE isn't just another exercise in Fugazi-style political manifestos; on it, Fugazi come across more as musicians than politicians. The yelping "I have something to prove" tone of previous releases has relaxed into a more confident approach. The dueling guitars are looser, more melodic. The riffs and vocals don't bark and grate as much--they simmer and, in some cases, even swing. Songs like "Birthday Party" may still rely on the old-school Fugazi approach--the proven shout and power-chord stomp--but "Forensic Scene" sounds almost Beatlesque in its lovely hesitance. Regardless of that evolution, RED MEDICINE still includes all the things that made REPEATER-era ...

Fugazi End Hits CD (1998)

Furniture

$9.55

This doesn't mean they are growing fatter, balder, 20 years older and British, they're just expanding their boundaries. The lyrics still bite and the guitars still sting, but they've thrown something else into the mix. The riffs are no longer just power chord blasts, but melodic lines that could carry the songs as instrumentals. And what's that in the bass? It couldn't be! It is (gasp)! Counterpoint! After 11 years and 7 albums, Fugazi are paying as much attention to the craft of songwriting as political indignation and DIY activism. What's a bunch of punk icons to do when the times that they helped to define start changing? Do they continue doing what they've always done and become an anachronism, play follow the leader, or strike off in a new direction, blazing trails for others ...

Fugazi Argument CD (2001)

Furniture

$9.99

Possessing few peers in the world of fiery, angular, angry indie-rock, D.C. icon Fugazi holds an unassailable place at or near the top of the DIY aesthetic. THE ARGUMENT, their eighth full-length release, still exhibits the unpredictability of form, jagged edges and impassioned, potent lyrics that carried them through the '90s. However, with its underlying melodic hooks, it hearkens back more to early-'80s art punks like Mission Of Burma or The Fall. On tracks like "Full Disclosure" the sound looks even further back, sounding practically glam. Despite the element of retrograde, the sound on THE ARGUMENT remains undeniably Fugazi's own, organic and compelling. There is certainly the occasional track, most notably "Ex-Spectator," that would fit seamlessly on MARGIN WALKER or REPEATER, and tracks such as the defiant "Cashout" and "Epic Problem" rant and rage with requisite fury. ...

Sonic Youth - Corporate Ghost: The Videos 1990-2002 DVD (1990)

Furniture

$12.05

The career of Sonic Youth has seen them sculpt an inimitable sound, capable of satisfying both avant garde, and mainstream alternative rock tastes. Detuning their guitars to create an atonal noise has paid interesting dividends for the band, and after building an illustrious back catalogue on the indie scene, the group settled on major label DGC in 1990. This compilation of their video work charters the latter period of the band, beginning with visual interpretations of every track from the album "Goo." Subsequent records spawned further adventures in the video field, and these efforts are also included here. Directors include famous names such as Todd Haynes and Spike Jonze, while guests ranging from Chuck D of Public Enemy, to former child star Macaulay Culkin, appear in the videos. Tracks featured include "Kool Thing," "Dirty Boots," "100%," and many others. Their first-time collection of their videos on DVD will blow their fans' minds away! This DVD features ...

Bjork Gling-Glo CD (1996)

Furniture

$10.29

Recorded in 1990, while Bjork Gudmundsdottir was still a member of the Icelandic alt-rock band the Sugarcubes, GLING-GLO provided the eccentric vocalist with one of her first moments in the solo spotlight. Solidly backed by Trio Gudmundar Ingolfssonar, Bjork settles into a spare, upbeat set of bop-influenced jazz tunes, allowing her exuberant, dynamic voice to carry each melody. While the buoyant title track could easily serve as the theme song for a sophisticated children's TV show, the following number, "Luktar-Gvendur," settles into a classic lightly swaying jazz groove. The majority of tracks are performed in Icelandic, with Bjork's delivery so charming that listeners will barely notice the language difference. However, those pining for songs in English will be pleased by the disc's final tracks--"Ruby ...
