| | Killers Hot Fuss CD Killers Discography of CDs
 (76 Customer Reviews)
Although they are Las Vegas, Nevada natives, the Killers have more in common with the retro-New Wave sounds of New York City than with the casino crooners most often associated with Sin City. On HOT FUSS, the shaggy-haired quartet matches 1960s garage attitude and Strokes-like vocal swagger with a danceable, bass guitar-driven sound that pays lavish tribute to '80s pop heroes Duran Duran and Simple Minds. With "On Top," the combo adds the soaring, delay-laden guitars of U2 and the Fixx, while "Somebody Told Me" features a bouncy disco beat that recalls the Pet Shop Boys. Not content to be pegged as a retro-revival act, however, the Killers imbue each song on this fierce debut with a healthy dose of new-millennium rock snarl.

Brilliant.
This album it 100% Pure brilliance. If you don't like it then you're probably not ready to come out of your corner and try something new. It's so beautiful I want to cry. I think that anyone who is a fan of David Bowie is automatically a fan of the Killers, and if you like Bowie and you don't like the killers... well then you're a liar, and you never liked Bowie in the first place. Brilliant, Brilliant BRILLIANT!

| | Darol Anger Diary Of A Fiddler CD (1999)
Hot Fuss songs
$14.59
Principally recorded at Fiddlistics Studios, Oakland, California from November 1996 to March 1999. Includes liner notes by Matt Glaser.
The sixth song on Darol Anger's 1999 CD, Diary of a Fiddler, is a pleading version of the Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends," which would have been a very appropriate title for the album. This album finds Anger pairing up with other pioneering violinists like Natalie MacMaster, Stuart Duncan, Vassar Clements, Sam Bush, Tim O'Brien, and several others, on mostly improvised or hastily learned songs recorded at fiddle camps and jam sessions between late 1996 and early 1999. The sense of exploration and experimentation is pervasive throughout the album, most often resulting in two fiddlers intertwining around one another, often in harmony but occasionally in battle. In ...

| | Luis Munoz Of Soul And Shadow CD (2007)
Hot Fuss album
$15.05
On his fourth CD and second for his own indie label Pelin Music, the versatile and innovative pianist, percussionist and composer Luis Munoz again spreads the melodic, densely rhythmic joy across Latin America (he's a native of Costa Rica), Brazil, the tropics and -- during those cool, more traditional jazz moments -- the innovative streets of New York. While ensembling seamlessly and energetically with longtime cohorts like Nico Carmine Abondolo (acoustic bass), Randy Tico (bass), Tom Buckner (saxes) and Adolfo Acosta (trumpet), Munoz also invited some exciting new guests to the sessions near his home in Santa Barbara, CA: Rámses Araya (Rubén Blades), trombonist Ira Nepus (Diana Krall) and hot NYC saxman David Binney. With those talents surrounding his own melodic invention and use of fanciful percussion instruments, Munoz could easily overpower the listener, but he gets off to a more subtle start, with Gilberto Gonzalez's graceful acoustic guitar melody over an hypnotic keyboard harmony -- and then John Nathan's jumpy island marimba kicks in, followed by Binney's intense sax solo. Munoz opens "Verde 'Mundo Infinito" with a taste of home, sampling the Costa Rican rainforest for a moment and then duetting with himself on percussion and marimba as a prelude to a snazzy brass-driven Latin jam. "La Semilla" keeps the percussion and horns maneuvering behind Jonathan Dane's lyrical trumpet melody; then, just as the party gets going, Munoz offers a moody surprise on "Al Silencio," a trio piece enhanced by Ron Kalina's chromatic harmonica; he goes the same route on the lush and dreamy "Mas Alla," a dedication to his wife. On the quickie interlude "Luz del Sur," Munoz fashions a new hybrid one might call "surf rock/country/tropical music" with the help of Bill Flores on pedal steel. "La Verdad" is multicultural in a different way, with South African flavored rolling guitars and horn accents behind Andy Zuñiga's Spanish vocals. The fun part of indie jazz projects like these is that there's ...
| | Damphools Damn The Hard Times CD (2009)
Hot Fuss CD music
$16.45
Damn the Hard Times, the debut album from The Damphools, is solid proof that real American country music is as resilient today as it was when Hank Williams was chasing the white line in his powder blue Cadillac. And still as rural as the first time Bill Monroe stepped off the porch to play the world a song. Recorded in a day on a reel to reel (circa 1965), Damn the Hard Times is The Damphools middle finger to the “hard times†that ...
