| | 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..."

NEVER A DULL MOMENT picks up where EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY left off. Here we have more raucous rock & roll with healthy dollops of soul and twang thrown in for good measure. Always looking for a good songwriter to cover, Stewart's honorees here include Jimi Hendrix ("Angel"), Dylan ("Mama You Been On My Mind"), and Rod's personal hero, Sam Cooke ("Twistin' The Night Away"). Sidling up nicely next to these heartfelt interpretations are some of Stewart's finest original songs. Teaming ...

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 ...

When he was recording his debut album in 2006, Chris Daughtry didn't have the time to assemble the real rock band he so desperately wanted to have, so it appeared under the band name Daughtry without featuring any of the musicians who later became part of the group. That's not the case with LEAVE THIS TOWN, Daughtry's second record: all five members are glowering on the album cover, floating like specters over an abandoned Californian street. The five rockers serve as visual evidence that Daughtry is a band, not a person, and such reminders may ...

Tiny Idols, Vol. 2: Transmissions From The Indie Underground 1995-1999 album
$22.35
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 Sylvian would use for the rest of the band's career--a cross between David Bowie and Bryan Ferry that is much more pleasant to listen to than descriptions would indicate. "Despair," with its piano, saxophone, and swelling synthesizer, is clearly modeled after the second half of Bowie's LOW, as well as being the second of Sylvian's compositions paying overt ...
