| | Turnip Greens Carry Me Down The Aisle CD Turnip Greens Discography of CDs
Turnip Greens are four seasoned musicians from Arhus, Denmark. Their music is a unique blend of several musical styles from the southern states of the US. They are influenced by Tom Waits, Dr. John, Delbert McClinton, Elvis, The Meters, B.B. King, Solomon Burke, Daniel Lanois, Ry Cooder, Doyle Bramhall II, Bob Dylan, Taj Mahal, Muddy Waters, The Black Keys and many more. Without a doubt the geographical distance between Denmark and the US is the reason for the fresh and original approach to the music. At the same time you hear exactly where they are coming from and in the music you hear a deep respect for 'the masters' and 'the tradition'. On this disc you'll find eleven great original songs and to me it's some of the best new roots music that I heard in a long while.
One would expect that an album with such a folksy title and a down-home artist name would be a knees-up trad folk workout of old Southern favorites. In fact, the Danish quartet Turnip Greens sound like they take the Old South of Flannery O'Connor's gothic creepouts as their starting point. Musically, Tom Waits is all over this album, specifically his more recent blend of acoustic instrumentation and thick sonic atmospheres; Daniel Lanois' deliberately muddy neo-Louisiana vibe is another important touchstone. Traditional instruments like slide guitar, harmonium, and mandolin are treated with layers of effects that would do a Cocteau Twins album proud, leaving everything in the arrangements so artificially twisted and deliberately misshapen that the intended effect of creepy disorientation is lost in the onslaught of distractingly weird noises. Even the vocals are excessively treated with reverb and slapback echo, a distancing technique that keeps the listener from developing any kind of emotional connection to the mytho-poetic lyrics. Had the band simply dialed everything back (including those overwrought lyrics) by about 50 percent or so, Carry Me Down the Aisle would be a far more effective piece of artsy quasi-Americana. As it is, the album is simply trying way too hard. ~ Stewart Mason

| | Shakira She Wolf CD (2009)
Carry Me Down The Aisle
 $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 one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is carnal. And for as sexy as Shakira is -- crucially, her music is sexy too ...
| | Rammstein Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da CDs (2009) Bonus Tracks; Deluxe Edition; Digipak
Carry Me Down The Aisle
$17.65  
Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like "B********" or the opening theme song "Rammlied" and nostalgic, cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club. Best of the latter is the naked and haunting closer "Roter Sand" but little touches of a sinister yesteryear are everywhere, like ...

Carry Me Down The Aisle
$11.39 
All songs written by Negative Approach except "Chaos" (McCourt/Hodges/ Harmer), "Never Surrender" (Blitz), and "I Got A Right" (Pop/Williamson).
TOTAL RECALL contains all of Negative Approach's previously released material, including the PROCESS OF ELIMINATION EP, the NEGATIVE APPROACH EP, and the TIED DOWN LP, as well as previously unreleased live and demo tracks.
Total Recall is Negative Approach's complete discography -- essential '80s hardcore with an impact that will always feel extreme. Minor Threat and Bad Brains traveled similar loud/fast ground, but NA were a direct line to pure hate and anger. The band never sounds cartoonish, just stripped-down and mean, a sound that could have only come from Detroit. "Can't Tell No One," "Nothing," ...
