 (7 Customer Reviews)
Definitely consciousness expanding, the prickly affectations of Porcupine Tree will only be lost on those too well-steeped in the cold, cruel world to avail themselves of these inebriating aural tonics. Fortunately, the rest of us lucky few who are mentally equipped to let UP THE DOWNSTAIR run barefoot through our minds will be ever so eager to do so. Take careful note of the sounds wafting from ye olde England--the wild potpourri of bands like Ozric Tentacles, Omnia Opera, Mandragora, and Porcupine Tree are making a mighty dent in those so exposed. This stuff is not going to be a secret much longer--and blessedly so. UP THE DOWNSTAIR's charismatic potions penetrate, obfuscate, and violate the creeks of the sensible mind with dreamy veils of guitars, pulsing rhythms, and layer upon layer of bubbling, drifting electronics. Incredible stuff--former Japan keyboardist Richard Barbieri even adds his synthetic textures to the techno-funk landscape of the title cut.

Up The Downstair
$9.85
Considering their cinematic scope, it's fitting that the songs on DEADWING were actually inspired by a film script written by Porcupine Tree mastermind Steven Wilson. Not that this should come as any surprise to longtime fans who know the UK act's reputation for churning out epic progressive rock so sonically descriptive that it's practically visual.
Porcupine Tree creates works with complex structures that do not alienate or obscure the songs themselves, pieces that are dark and psychedelic without being sinister. On the 12-minute opening title track, weighty guitar riffs and spacious synths immediately recall Nine Inch Nails, but swooping melodic changes give way to ambient passages, making it plain that this is no industrial-rock rip-off. "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" begins with processed ...

| | Tiger Saw Sing! CD (2005)
Up The Downstair
$12.55
In winter 2005, singer/guitarist Dylan Metrano gathered fifteen friends from the up-and-coming Newburyport, MA music scene and assembled them into a misfit orchestra and a makeshift choir to produce the most ambitious Tiger Saw album to date.Sing!'s tunes were developed while Tiger Saw were on tour behind their previous and second disc, Gimme Danger/Gimme Sweetness. The tour, which crossed the United States and Great Britain, found the band performing at a myriad of unorthodox venues, from suburban basements and theaters to beaches, forests, and bonfires. These intimate settings led to impromptu singalongs with the audience, and night after night of unforgettable communal experiences.The ten Tiger Saw songs on Sing! were inspired by these sing-alongs, written to incorporate a large choir, and arranged for the album by Clairvoyants' Brian Dunn. They are linked by themes of friendship, community, nature, and romance, and compose a song cycle performed by the group of friends whose shared history and deep connections are revealed in Metrano's direct and honest lyrics. This album sees core members Metrano, cellist/vocalist Juliet Nelson (Unbunny, Cul de Sac) and guitarist John Ryan Gallagher (The Divorced) joined by pianist Casey Dienel, upright bassist Nat Baldwin (Dirty Projectors), and drummer Gregg Porter (Unbunny, Little Wings, Hotel Alexis). As on Gimme Danger, substantial contributions are made by slide guitarist and banjo player blindbanjodjim (Milkweed) and Jason Anderson (Wolf Colonel, The Microphones). And also featured are the voices of Nikole Beckwith, Alan Bull, Lindsay Clark, Kryce Clayton, Brian Dunn, and Mary Fahey. Sing! reveals Tiger Saw evolving from the melancholy, slowcore roots of their earlier years toward a celebratory and joyous, yet still tender sound.**********Tiger Saw is from Newburyport, Massachusetts, a seaside town 40 miles to the north of Boston. Founding songwriter Dylan Metrano is the one constant in the band, although mainstays Juliet Nelson and JR Gallagher have accompanied him in the studio and in many a live setting since the year 2000. Sometimes Tiger Saw is just Dylan wandering through an audience singing with acoustic guitar in hand, and at other times as many as a dozen performers augment the live experience with cello, ...

$11.49
While Pete Townshend's iconic status as the guitarist and primary songwriter of the Who will commit his name to rock immortality, his solo career has also been long, prolific, and worthy of note. The 17-track DEFINITIVE COLLECTION does an admirable job of surveying the artist's solo work, including everything from his most memorable recordings to tracks from his 1989 musical, THE IRON MAN (arguably ...
| | Lailo Hard Work N Dedication CD (2008)
Up The Downstair
$5.49
Lailo, Born LaiShawn LaBorde is an inspiring and dedicated artist. Starting out at the age of nine gave Lailo an early passion for the love of music. Growing up in the projects of Long Island City, Queens then later moving to Long Island, gave Lailo another way of looking at life, and more ideas and experiences to write and rap about. At the age of fourteen, Lailo, not only made his first track, but he also was featured on an artist album that also had appearances with industry artists such as Eric Sermon of EPMD, and Capone from Capone N Noreaga. After the experience of recording with older and more experienced artist Lailo attended Brookhaven Technical Center in Bellport, NY, and took a class for audio production. Attending audio production taught Lailo how to be more creative, and write better songs. The purpose of the class was to learn how engineer and create music for not only your self but for others to listen to and enjoy. During that time Lailo began to work on his first project that is now known to some as “Finally Heard”. This album would be the first cd Lailo put together his self and would be used only as a “rough draft” just to see how he would sound. The next project was called “Back in Tha Booth”. This cd was mixed down and produced better than the first. Lailo then began to sell this cd to other students in school and around his neighborhood. People then recognized and looked at Lailo as an artist. At that time Lailo was on his way to graduate High School, and it would be harder for him to record, being that he wasn’t able to go to the audio production class anymore and wasn’t working so didn’t have money for studio time. On top of that his parents just brought a house in NJ and planned on moving out there shortly. Now being around absolutely nothing, Lailo had no choice but to write verses and songs everyday until he was able to record again. His uncle would take him to his friends studio in Maryland where Lailo would record songs for free, but it wasn’t often, so Lailo had to get a job full time and rap part time. Being in NJ, and away from all his family and friends got the best of Lailo. He moved back to NY with his best friend, then his aunt until he and his fiancé got there own place. After he was finally situated, Lailo started to record his third solo album that he would call “Hard Work N Dedication” and his group album that would be called “More Than A Local Buzz” . Lailo and a couple of his friends from school and his neighborhood formed a rap group called NewBreed. Which was later on made into a business and record label NewBreed Recordz. So far in his early stages of becoming ...
