Purchase Oppenheimer CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Architecture In Helsinki In Case We Die CD (2005)
Oppenheimer album
$13.35 Following up their ambitious 2003 debut just two years later with this similarly complex, challenging set, Australia's Architecture in Helsinki established themselves as purveyors of tongue-in-cheek prog-rock for people who shudder at the term. Witty lyrics playfully mingle with majestic melodies, voiced on an array of instruments--electronic, orchestral, standard rock--and vocal permutations. The band explores Sparks-infused punkabilly ("The Cemetary"), symphonic cabaret ("Nevereverdid"), slinky pop ("Maybe You Can Owe Me"), and multi-part song cycles that wink as they soar.
Architecture In Helsinki: James Cecil.
| | Rock Kills Kid Are you Nervous? CD (2006)
Oppenheimer CD music
$9.29 With brash guitar riffs swirling over the tattoos of melancholy synthesizers, ARE YOU NERVOUS? is Rock Kills Kid's contribution to the brand new wave of the early 2000s. Both dark and danceable, this album creates as convincing an '80s retro sound as you'll find. If you listen for them, you can hear traces of everyone from The Cure to Kajagoogoo. But Rock Kills Kid is very much its own band. The songs on this album tell a personal story of loneliness and alienation--albeit a story that you won't be able to listen to sitting still.
Rock Kills Kid: Jeff Tucker (vocals, guitar); Reed Calhoun (guitar, keyboards); Sean Stopnik (guitar); Shawn Dailey (bass guitar); Ian Hendrickson (drums).
Recording information: Hollywood Sound, Hollywood, California.

| | Hot Chip The Warning CDs (2006)
Oppenheimer songs
$12.55 Nearly 20 years on from the infamous 'Disco Demolition Night' at Chicago's Comiskey Park--a rally that forever etched the phrase "disco sucks" into the American consciousness--an unexpected alliance has been struck between the indie-pop world and the more synthetic, mechanized strains of dance music. Leading firebrands in this renaissance, the New York production duo DFA, have teamed up with U.K. ensemble Hot Chip for their latest effort, WARNING.
Hot Chip vocalist Joe Goddard's disaffected monotone provides a cool contrast to Alexis Taylor's lilting falsetto, a strategy that pays off on the driving "And I Was A Boy From School." The typically raw DFA production emphasizes rhythmic nuance over pop polish--this is stylized, minimal dance pop in the tradition of Pet Shop Boys and New Order. On more downtempo efforts like the gentle "Colours," the music lends room to Taylor's delicate but affecting voice, showcasing Hot Chip's promise as more than just a flavor-of-the-moment indie dance act.

| | Dave Matthews Some Devil CD (2003)
Oppenheimer album
$15.65 "Gravedigger" won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
The Dave Matthews Band gained its reputation as a collective effort, so much so that Matthews's first official solo album might have been expected to signal a drastic change in direction. Ultimately, Matthews found a way to have his cake and eat it too on SOME DEVIL. While the distinctive contributions of his noted band members are absent here, he nevertheless goes for a not-dissimilar singer-songwriter-meets-worldbeat-pop vibe. Though Leroi Moore's sax and Boyd Tinsley's violin don't color the arrangements, SOME DEVIL offers a rhythm section--Daniel Lanois/Emmylou Harris cohorts Tony Hall and Brady Blade--that's adept at mixing rock, funk, jazz, and New Orleans R&B with Matthews's cerebral compositions, much as they did with Harris on WRECKING BALL. Jam-band peer Trey Anastasio of Phish joins longtime Matthews sideman Tim Reynolds on guitar, contributing tasteful and concise playing.
While many of the tunes bear a strongly propulsive element, not least on account of Matthews's trademark percussive guitar style, SOME DEVIL is mostly more low-key than the DMB's work. "Grey Blue Eyes" sounds like it could have come off a latter-day Peter Gabriel album, while "Baby" is Matthews's acoustic-guitar-and-strings shot at "Yesterday." Towards this end, the blues-rocking "Gravedigger" is reprised at the disc's close in a quiet acoustic version.
Initial pressings included a 5 song bonus disc.
Recorded at Studio Litho, Studio X, Seattle, Washington and Bastyr University, Kenore, Washington between October 2002 & June 2003.
Personnel: Dave Matthews (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars); Tim Reynolds (acoustic & electric guitars); Trey Anastasio (electric guitar, piano); Dirty Dozen Brass Band (horns); Stephen Harris (harmonium, keyboards, percussion, programming); Alex Veley (organ); Tony Hall (bass); Brady Blade (drums, percussion); Total Experience Gospel Choir (background vocals).
| | Jimmy Eat World Futures CDs (2004) (Import) Import; United Kingdom
Oppenheimer CD music
$23.65 This UK tour edition includes two bonus tracks, and a bonus CD of demos.
After firmly establishing itself in the hearts and minds of rock fans through numerous EPs and two albums of angst-fueled power-pop, Jimmy Eat World scored a big hit single with "The Middle," from the excellent BLEED AMERICAN (re-christened JIMMY EAT WORLD in the wake of 9/11). The mainstream had finally caught up with Jimmy Eat World.
FUTURES, the ensemble's first album following its breakthrough, doesn't stray from the formula that has worked so well for the Arizona band. Jim Adkins's vocals are quietly insistent, and at times fiery, conveying reflective, intelligent lyrics that complement intricate melodies. Like its immediate predecessor, FUTURES opens with a politically minded title track ("I hope for better in November"), but, in general, the songs mostly revolve around love and longing. "Work" and "Pain" are filled with heart-on-the-sleeve emotions, and Jimmy Eat World makes these tunes work with undeniable sincerity. With many sharp, catchy songs on display, FUTURES is another outstanding record from Jimmy Eat World.
Limited edition with extra disc featuring demo tracks of the entire album. Interscope/Polydor. 2005.
