| | Tiny Idols, Vol. 2: Transmissions From The Indie Underground 1995-1999 CD
The second volume of Tiny Idols looks to the very deep underground of indie pop from 1995 (where Tiny Idols left off) to the end of the millennium. This one seems deeper under the radar. As the first set of gems taught us, just because no one's ever heard of it -- with the possible exception of the musicians and their families -- doesn't mean it's not worthwhile. The Nuggets compilations offered that point of wisdom a long, long time ago. There is a beautiful Van Dyke Parks meets Anglo-futurism on Suede Chain's "Departure and Arrival," the garagey and sexy "Three Times a Day," by Chantigs, Mazarin's amazingly sophisticated and charming "Wheats," the angular "Neptune Drive," with a singer who sounds eerily like Gary Numan, and Madison Electric's faux psychedelic "Heavy Petal." ~ Thom Jurek
Various Artists: Fashioncolt, Galaga, Madison Electric.Magnet (p.89) - "There's some genuine greatness here worth lamenting the loss of: the PET SOUNDS-like stylings of Detroit's Teach Me Tiger...[and] the new baroque, ELO-esque art rock of Illinois' Suede Chain..."

At first glance, Halford's entry into the crowded holiday market looks like a parody. Heavy metal and Christmas make for strange bedfellows, and WINTER SONGS' pastoral cover art -- which depicts Rob Halford staring wistfully (with a goatee and shades) into a soft, snowy pine forest -- screams Spinal Tap. That said, the Judas Priest frontman approaches yuletide standards like "We Three Kings" and "What Child Is This?" with the same conviction that he applied to Priest classics like "Electric Eye" and "Freewheel Burning" -- it probably helps that most traditional Christmas hymns tend to fall into the same brooding minor keys that serve as the foundation ...

Glitter and Doom Live, a double-disc set, marks Tom Waits' third live effort in his nearly 40-year career, each one summing up his career to the point of its release. The first, Nighthawks at the Diner issued in 1975 on Asylum, is regarded by many as one of the greatest live albums of all time. The second was Big Time, released during his tenure at Island in 1986. The musical performances on disc one of Glitter and Doom Live were culled from Waits' historic sold-out tour of the U.S. and Europe. He compiled and sequenced the set himself, intending to make them sound like a single show. The material leans, understandably, on his recordings with the Anti label. There are stellar performances here, such as "Get Behind the Mule" from The Mule Variations, "Trampled Rose" from Real Gone, and a haunting version of Leadbelly's "Fannin Street" from Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, to mention just three of the 17 cuts here. But he goes back ...

Over their relatively brief recorded career--five studio albums--Japan made a huge about-face. From a glam-rock band with arty pretenses they became the epitome of the "New Romantics," wearing their classical and world-beat influences on their ruffled sleeves. QUIET LIFE, the third of their five albums, is the first fully removed from traditional rock.
The title track opens the album with hectic drums and percolating synthesizers offsetting the tremendously controlled guitar and rubbery bass. This song, and indeed album, also introduce the style of vocals that David ...
