| | Fall Extricate CD Fall Discography of CDs
1990's EXTRICATE is among The Fall's most personal and least political albums. Recorded immediately after former Fall guitarist Brix Smith left both her husband, Mark E. Smith, and his band, EXTRICATE has little of the pop influence Brix had brought to the band during her six-year tenure. The reversion to The Fall's more abrasive pre-Brix sound is helped by the return of early Fall guitarist Martin Bramah to the fold. His distinctively scratchy guitar sound is one of the album's defining elements, the other being the near-obsessive venom Smith pours on his ex-wife, especially in the explosive opener "Sing! Harpy."
Elsewhere, the band enthusiastically tackles "Black Monk Theme Parts I and II" by the then-obscure '60s avant-garde band The Monks and works up a jagged wall of noise behind traditional Smith rants like "Arms Control Poseur" and "British People In Hot Weather." EXTRICATE is one of The Fall's finest efforts.

| | Fall Code: Selfish CD (1992)
Extricate CD music
$13.09
An underrated and hard-to-find Fall album, this 1992 release returned to a harder, more caustic band than found on the previous year's Shift Work. Slimmed down to a four- piece (with added keyboards by David Bush) and produced by Craig Leon and Simon Rogers, the Fall yet again returned with an experimental and menacing collection of songs. The centerpiece and only single ...
| | Fall Shift-Work CD (1991)
Extricate music CDs
$13.09
This is the sound of The Fall stripped down to basics after the sonic complexity and experimentation of the previous decade. A few of the up-tempo tracks betray the influence of house music and the early '90s Manchester music scene, but Smith is unforgiving in his portrayal of those "idiot groups with no shape or form, out of their heads on a quid of blow." Two ballads, "Edinburgh Man" and "Rose," catch Smith in a reflective mood. The latter is a simple open letter to Brix, his ex-wife and ex-guitarist. It's not exactly Burt Bacharach, but in Fall terms, this is easy listening.
Reissue of the long unavailable 1991 ...
| | Grand Funk Railroad We're An American Band CD (1973) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Extricate songs
$8.05  
This is a limited edition "Album Replica" CD of WE'RE AN AMERICAN BAND specially packaged to simulate the original LP design and a gold foil jacket, gatefold sleeve & 4 stickers.
Digitally remastered by Evren Goknar (1999, Capitol Mastering, Los Angeles, California).
Grand Funk's 1973 release, WE'RE AN AMERICAN BAND, continued the band's winning streak. It's gone on to become one of their most popular albums.
Slightly more pop-based than their previous work, the band plays as if it can do no wrong on this strong set. Produced by Todd Rundgren, the album spawned such gems as the rowdy and autobiographical title track, as well as such other highlights as "The Railroad," "Stop Looking Back," ...

| | Monks Black Monk Time CD (1966) With Book; Deluxe Edition
Extricate CD music
$16.35
One of the strangest artifacts of the 1960s, the Monks' sole album, BLACK MONK TIME essentially anticipates Blank Generation punk by about a decade. The music is a furious rush of minimalist drums (seemingly influenced by German marching bands), percussive electric banjo strums, fuzz guitar and feedback, and in-your-face lyrics expressing such tender sentiments as "I hate you" and "Shut up!" To be sure, the Monks will occasionally remind you of other rock bands of their day; L.A.'s Music Machine, for example, ...

| | Burt Bacharach Universal Masters Collection CD (1999)
Extricate songs
$8.79
The thing about Burt Bacharach's own versions of his songs, the best of which he wrote with co-composer Hal David, is that Bacharach seems to think he's in a lounge playing background music for people as they dine, trying carefully not to intrude on anyone's conversation, and his songs are way too good, vibrant, and breezy to ...
