Draws on Free-Jazz, 60's Psych, Drone and Ethnic music.

Personnel: James Blackshaw (12-string guitar, tamboura, harmonium, cymbals, percussion); James Blackshaw.
Audio Mixers: James Blackshaw; John Hannon.
Recording information: No Recording Studio (09/2005).
James Blackshaw both plays and writes with a maturity and inventiveness that belie his youth (he recorded this album at 23). There are few 12-string guitar players his age who would dare to attempt a full-length, all-instrumental acoustic solo album, and even fewer who could carry it off if they tried. But Blackshaw does it in style, and does it all by himself. The album's four tracks include some multi-tracking, and Blackshaw varies the musical texture by adding Indian elements (tanpura and harmonium on "The Elk with Jade Eyes") and percussion ("O True Believers"), but the dense center of his music is the guitar itself, fingerpicked in a rolling, glistening style that sometimes brings to mind Robbie Basho and at other times John Fahey. While his music conveys moments of dark mournfulness and of spiky irritability, the overwhelming feeling this album communicates is one of subdued but very real joy. The music is generally tonal and harmonically straightforward, and it is one testament to his startling gifts as a composer that it's almost impossible to tell when Blackshaw is improvising and when he's performing prewritten music. ~ Rick Anderson

Uncut (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Harmonium, bells and processional drums enhance the title track, but even the atmosphere of glittering tranquility, of meditative clarity, remains."
The Wire (p.70) - "[T]he often dreamlike combination ensures the music gathered here deftly avoids pale imitation and leaden devotion."

Producers include: Andy Wallce, Biyan Carlstrom, Terry Dale, White Zombie, Charlie Clouser.
Past, Present & Future is the first-ever Rob Zombie retrospective. The collection is steeped both visually and aurally in the scary monsters, sexy women, and schlock horror images that have always adorned Zombie's death's-head calling card; from a strictly musical standpoint, his turgid industrial sludge and beyond-the-grave vocals benefit greatly from the set's liberal editing. That's because Zombie has always had one fabulously filthy gear, and his pedal is always scraping the metal; Past's 19 tracks simply streamline his career's death race into one satisfying 2000-mile straightaway. "Thunder Kiss '65," "Dragula," and the incredible, impossible, wonderfully stupid "More Human Than Human" attack the eardrums with toxic vengeance; collaborations with Alice Cooper and Howard Stern approach the proto-industrial grind of KMFDM; and kooky covers of "I'm Your Boogieman" and "Brickhouse" run the originals' disco beat through a freaky fun house filled with lurid porn samples and booty-shaking bottom end. (The latter track even pulls poor Lionel Richie into a duet with Rob and raunchy Trick Daddy protégée Trina). "Pussy Liquor" is just dumb, but again, you have ...

The Lonely Bull
Herb Alpert The Lonely Bull CD  (1962) Remastered; Special Edition

O True Believers

Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass: Herb Alpert (trumpet).
Audio Remasterer: Ted Jensen.
Liner Note Authors: Herb Alpert; Josh Kun.

The colossus that is A&M Records starts right here with the first album by the 1960s instrumental juggernaut known as the Tijuana Brass. True, there was no "Tijuana Brass" per se at this time; just Herb Alpert and a coterie of Los Angeles sessionmen, with Alpert overdubbing himself on trumpet to get that ...

On its 2007 outing, GAAME, the Brooklyn-based experimental-rock ensemble known as Aa (Big A little a) unleashes a cacophonous set filled with tribal percussion, urgent screams, and disarming synth lines (see the startling "Good Ship"). For those who think Liars' DRUM'S NOT DEAD sounds a little too poppy, this record is for you.
