U.K. reissue features eight B-sides from three singles and new sleeve notes.

SEAMONSTERS begins quietly enough with "Dalliance," as Wedding Present frontman David Gedge sings about a broken relationship in a near-whisper, over a light beat and chiming guitars. Then, almost three minutes into the song, distortion pedals are stomped on and an earthshaking torrent of noise is unleashed. This striking opener embodies both the record and the fierce Weddoes sound, marked by driving rhythms, furious six-string strums, and Gedge's signature flat vocals and lovelorn lyrics. One of the UK band's most formidable and consistent outings, SEAMONSTERS, fittingly produced by studio guru Steve Albini, includes fan favorites such as "Dare" (which ends in a swirling My Bloody Valentine-like squall), "Suck," the highly percussive "Corduroy," and the wonderfully bitter "Heather." Along with the first installment of the group's singles comp, HIT PARADE, this album is the high point of the Wedding Present's catalogue, and as an introduction to the utterly distinctive Weddoes aesthetic, there's no better disc than this one.

Originally released in 1991 now includes the 8 B-sides from three singles and new sleevenotes. Standard jewelcase in a slipcase.Spin (4/92, p.95) - Highly Recommended - "...SEAMONSTERS is a pirhana...punk for pop people..."
Q (9/01, p.139) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Hints at the greater delicacy and charm Gedge was to later realize in his Cinerama project..."
Alternative Press (7/95, p.80) - Ranked #18 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...This [is] no mere collection of dainty vague songs with screens of white noise a la the Jesus And Mary Chain. This [is] true pop with great ripping blasts. Power chords boldly interjected in startlingly angular ways right into the heart of agitated melodies..."

5 stars Deep for the deep
At first a wall of sound - but then giving way to an album that has so many layers of sound that you can get lost in it listen after listen. Mercurially recorded by Albini it is pop, rock, punk, and a heartfelt love (lost) album all in one. The boy Gedge was so emotionally drained after this one he never quite got it together the all in the same place at the same time again. A 'tour de force' and other superlatives apply here.

CD $12.79  4 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
FEAR AND WHISKEY was the album that signaled the second coming of the Mekons. Six years after their 1979 debut, the band overhauled their well-honed post-punk sound with an unexpected departure. Like the Byrds before them, the Mekons decided to forge a merger between rock and country; unlike the Byrds, of course, the Mekons infused their ragged honky-tonk with hints of reggae, art noise, and ample doses of reckless punk. The opening "Chivalry" is a barroom tune that sounds part Celtic, part Texan, with a floating fiddle melody courtesy of Susie Honeyman. "Trouble Down South," a politically pointed song that uses spoken narrative against a backdrop of fiddle, haunting vocals, and reggae rhythms, gives way to the amped-up "Hard to Be Human Again" and the heavy, sleepy "Darkness and Doubt." The surreal story-song "Psycho Cupid," the insistent pulse of "Country," ...

Eno was a key figure in the development of Talking Heads, producing some of their most innovative albums. This collaboration with head Head Byrne built on the sonic ground the two had already broken together via their well established working relationship. The pair couldn't have known how influential MY LIFE IN THE BUSH OF GHOSTS would be in the next two decades. Deconstructing the avant-funk of the Heads' REMAIN IN LIGHT, Byrne and Eno recorded polyrhythmic backing tracks similar to that effort. Instead of creating lyrics or melodies to lay over them, ...

Wire 154 CD  (1979) Remastered; Digipak

Seamonsters songs
CD $12.79  4.5 stars Definitive Album
Like its predecessor, 1977's CHAIRS MISSING, 154 finds Wire moving away from its punk roots toward darker, more experimental horizons. There is less overt anger and insolence than in the past, and in its place is plenty of dark weirdness. Truly disturbing at certain points, this album is a challenging listen. This is not a record to slap on while you clean up the house. Beginning with the sinister "I Should Have Known Better" a song that has so little to do with the same-titled Beatles song that it really is scary, 154 follows with the shambling, atonal "Two People in a Room" and the choppy, robotic guitars of "The 15th." The fiendish "A Touching Display" sounds like music for a primitive rite, while on "A Mutual Friend," close British Invasion-flavored harmonies collide with harsh, dangerous-sounding guitar chords. The highlight here, and arguably the most ...

Collecting three singles--"Interstate 5," "I'm from Further North than You," and "Ringway to Seatac"--from the Wedding Present's 2004 reunion album, TAKE FOUNTAIN, this 14-track compilation also includes acoustic versions of the aforementioned tunes and B-sides. While "Bad Thing" harkens back to GEORGE BEST-era Wedding Present, "Shivers" drops the British indie-rock band's distinctive guitar sound entirely, in favor of a melodic loop that allows attention to fall on Weddoes frontman David Gedge's vocal harmonies ...

Meredith Bragg & the Terminals: Meredith Bragg (vocals); Elizabeth Olson (cello); Brian Minter (piano, keyboards); Jon Roth (drums). Meredith Bragg & the Terminals' 2005 debut album was called Volume 1, so this limited-edition EP, which follows six months later, might be thought of as Volume 1«. Or, since Volume 1 was only 37 minutes long, this might constitute the rest of it. Actually, though, the release of a half-album is well justified by the musical and artistic development Bragg and the group show. Volume 1 was dominated by Bragg's acoustic guitar work and seemingly sedated singing, but The Departures EP, from its opening track, "Empty ...
