| | Mission Of Burma Obliterati CD Mission Of Burma Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
While it took Mission of Burma more than two decades to follow up its 1982 debut with 2004's ONOFFON, the Boston-based post-punk act needed only two years to create their third full-length outing, THE OBLITERATI. As on its predecessor, this '06 album rumbles along with both heft and speed, and shows a band remarkably hitting its stride more than 20 years into its career. Core members Roger Miller (guitar/vocals), Clint Conley (bass/vocals), and Peter Prescott (drums/vocals) all contribute numerous tracks, and although fierce, highly percussive tunes are the order of the day (see the blistering "Spider's Web" and the lumbering "Let Yourself Go"), the disc also leaves room for disarmingly spare moments, most notably the melancholy, string-laden "13." Anyone under the impression that the Mission of Burma reunion was a one-shot deal will be set straight by THE OBLITERATI.
Mission of Burma: Clint Conley, Peter Prescott, Roger Miller , Bob Weston .
Rolling Stone (p.96) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Roger Miller's multilayered guitar attack buzzes and hisses as fiercely as any other band out there."
Q (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "These broiling drum-led riffs offer curdled cries, much volume and even humour..."
Alternative Press (p.204) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The sound that inspired bands like Sonic Youth -- and thus the indie-rock blueprint -- is still intact..."
The Wire (p.45) - "THE OBLITERATI is packed with energy and furious with ideas. It takes the basic verities of post-punk but twists and evolves them into songs that are immediate and vibrant."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.56) - "Refining their stripped-bare post-punk sound with an elegantly anguished sense of melody that suits the introspective, confessional lyrics..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.94) - "THE OBLITERATI finds Peter Prescott's fierce drumming, Roger Miller's whiplash guitar and Clint Conley's unequivocal bass still in rude health." Mission Of Burma Obliterati Songs | 1. | 2Wice |

Purchase Obliterati CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
Obliterati album
 $12.05    
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on "Haiti," while the tinkling piano and strings on "Crown of Love" conjure up a heartbroken surfside prom. In 2004, this made many critics' year-end lists, ...
| | Elliott Smith From A Basement On The Hill CD (2004)
Obliterati CD music
$14.49
Elliott Smith's death in 2003 left a cavernous hole in the world of popular music. Tender, intimate, and painfully honest, the songs in Smith's catalogue capture the fragility of human existence with rare, breathtaking beauty. On his first posthumous release, Smith reaffirms his status as an extraordinarily gifted artist, giving fans yet another reason to mourn his tragic loss.
Conceived as an ambitious double album, FROM A BASEMENT ON THE HILL was ultimately narrowed down to 15 tracks by Smith's close friends, producer Rob Schnapf (Beck's MELLOW GOLD, Smith's X/O) and musician Joanna Bolme (the Minders, Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks). The result is a heartbreaking collection of songs that plays like a retrospective of Smith's entire career. "Strung Out Again" reflects the early edge of ROMAN CANDLE; "Last Hour" recalls the bittersweet melodies of ELLIOTT SMITH; "A Fond Farewell" ...
| | Sebadoh III CDs (1991)
Obliterati music CDs
$11.39 
First released in 1991, Sebadoh's III has often been described as the ultimate college rock album. Composed of hit-or-miss musical experiments like "Black Haired Gurl" and lo-fi indie rock like "The Freed Pig," with occasional combinations of both, like their oddball cover of Johnny Mathis's hit "Wonderful, Wonderful," it's perhaps the band's most enduring achievement. This remastered reissue also includes early-'90s demos and rarities, as well as their seminal "Gimme Indie Rock" EP.
Along with Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted, Sebadoh III is one of the cornerstones of '90s indie rock, establishing the dubious lo-fi style as a credible subgenre. Though the recording techniques give the album a distinctive, hazy atmosphere, the music itself is fascinating. Divided between contributions from Lou Barlow, Eric Gaffney, and Jason Loewenstein, Sebadoh III doesn't necessarily offer a coherent listen. Instead, it's a variety of unexpected detours, with each track offering something different from what preceded. Barlow immediately distinguishes himself with his folky acoustic musings, which not only have sensitivity to spare, ...
| | Sonic Youth Rather Ripped CD (2006)
Obliterati songs
$12.59
Sonic Youth's turn-of-the-century output has shown a marked focus on the more abstract aspects of the band's sound, as evidenced by, if nothing else, the prolific number of experimental releases on the band's SYR imprint, including the double-album tribute to avant-garde composers, GOODBYE 20TH CENTURY. And while to use the phrase "stylistic departure" is unbefitting of a band with such catholic tastes and influences, the straightforward pop element that marks 2006's RATHER RIPPED, the band's 14th proper studio album, is so pronounced and, to a certain extent, jarring, it's difficult not to focus in on ...

“Implausibly funny and entertaining. All four performers sing and harmonize beautifully and are backed by terrific band. Brilliant childlike songs and ferocious rhythm and blues ballads.” – New York Times“A miracle of topicality. A cabaret-style evening of sprightly song stylings, funky grooves and a nice boom-chicak-boom beat when Hanna Cheek strips out of her clothes. Superfast lyrics ensure we stay on our toes, just long enough to get the knockout punch delivered in Arian Moayed’s final number, a memorial to those lost in battle.” – Time Out New York“The dynamic ensemble’s energy revitalizes this ancient allegory. They exploit Iranian American Arian Moayed’s bilingualism in a hilarious Farsi song, and discover disco fever when the pimped-out King Darius returns from Hades to witness his son’s reckless destruction of a glorious empire.” – ...
