If you are on an eclectic music diet -- if you need to listen to a little bit of everything in order to stay in shape -- then The Castle Massacre will feel to you like a multi-vitamin. The Norwegian quintet Ping jump around from style to style, reinventing themselves for each of the album's 15 tracks, yet finding a way to carry forward a strong group identity. Pranksters, mavericks, or geniuses? A bit of all three, it seems. There is a healthy dose of humor in this album, from silly lyrics (made sillier by an approximate use of the English language) to silly melodies, but there are also some very strong grooves, efficient songwriting, and surprises by the ton. The music switches around from electro-pop to heavy prog rock, '70s funk, and Zappa-esque twists. Playing the name game, the best approximation would be "the bastard son of Parliament and Black Sabbath, delivered by Frank Zappa," but that will mean something only if you listen to the whole album -- and it still doesn't account for the electronica influence in the hilarious opener "Bow to the Beagle," or "Inside a Rock"'s back vocal line stolen from KC & the Sunshine Band, among numerous other oddities. Truth is, nobody can possibly explain to you how wacky The Castle Massacre is. However, rest assured that this is not a hodgepodge album, a collection of mismatched snippets. These guys know what they are doing and they do it marvelously well. This is one of the more exhilarating, entertaining albums of 2006. ~ François Couture
Ping: Jorgen Greiner, Mattis Janitz, Alexander Lindback, Tore Hofstad, Hans Fredheim.

| | Shakira She Wolf CD (2009)
Castle Massacre CD music
$14.39 
Shakira's brand new English album She Wolf is an uptempo pop album. It is all about synthesizers and electronic concepts, all mixed with the world sounds that we are used to from Shakira.. sounds from countries like India, the Middle East and her home country of Colombia. She Wolf features a predominantly English track list with a follow up album of new and unique repertoire in Spanish to come in 2010. The title track "She-Wolf " boasts the infectious and energizing sound that made Shakira a household name, with a slightly more dancey/ electronic beat (about 125 beats per minute). Though most tracks on the upcoming album will be in English, Shakira chose to service the Spanish version of the first single, "Loba", two weeks before the English single is launched.
Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on ...

For his side project Murderdolls, Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison threw a number of curves at Slipknot fans. For one thing, he emerged from behind the drumkit to play guitar, along with Tripp Eisen of Static-X fame. For another, the dark, grinding industrial metal of Slipknot is forsaken in favor a more light-hearted (at least relatively) and punk-inspired approach. While there are plenty ...
| | An Invitation To Cry: Best Of The Magicians CD (1999)
Castle Massacre CD music
$12.35
Digitally remastered by Bob Irwin (Sundazed Studios, Coxsackie, New York).
The Magicians ('60s Pop/Rock): John Townley, Allan "Jake" Jacobs (guitar); Garry Bonner (bass guitar); Alan Gordon (drums).
Both sides of their four 1965-67 singles on Columbia, plus five previously unissued tracks from the same period. The possibility of an album's worth of Magicians' material has long intrigued collectors of '60s music, most of whom are only familiar with their "An Invitation to Cry" single from Nuggets. The rest of the material is okay, but a bit of a letdown, lacking any standout numbers on the order of "An Invitation to Cry." Too, the Magicians didn't seem to have the time to solidify a special sound. At times it's Lovin' Spoonful-like folk-rock (they cover two songs from the debut album by minor Greenwich Village folk-rocker David Blue); sometimes it's Young Rascals-ish soul-rock, with a poppier bent; sometimes it's journeyman blues-rock (covers ...

Castle Massacre music CDs
$11.85
Dispensing almost entirely with Folly's ska-punk beginnings -- only "Broken" and "We Believe" even come close to a rude boy vibe -- Resist Convenience reintroduces the New Jersey-based band, straddling that fine line between anthemic street punk and brutal metalcore. Punch-the-air ...
| | Johnny Rivers Last Train To Memphis CD (1998)
Castle Massacre songs
$11.59
Principally recorded at Smartso Digital, Studio City, California, Oceanway Studios, Hollywood, California, Studio Masters, Los Angeles, California, Sun Studio, Memphis, Tennessee and Entourage Studios, North Hollywood, California between 1991 and 1998. Includes liner notes by Cindy Hazen.
Johnny Rivers' first album of new material in nearly two decades, 1998's LAST TRAIN TO MEMPHIS is a fine collection of Rivers originals and the usual batch of oldies reinterpreted in that inimitable Rivers way. Rivers first made his name with his residency at the Whiskey A-Go-Go on Sunset Strip, and it's probably not a coincidence that this album's leadoff track is called "Down at the House of Blues," ...

Castle Massacre CD music
$16.45
"They bill themselves as “Southwest Montana’s most country country western band.” That’s not a claim I’m going to argue about with Gallatin Gateway’s www.Twang. A favorite live dance band, they mix standard cover tunes with equally well-written originals on their first CD. My favorites are their own songs by guitarists Buck Buchanan and Duke Sharp. Buchanan co-wrote the soon-to-be classic “Your Cheatin’ Heart (Stays on the Juke Box)” with producer Kenny Williams, who, along with fellow Montana Rose, Claudia Williams, provides ...
