 (1 Customer Review)
For 2007's AMERICAN DOLL POSSE, singer-songwriter Tori Amos returns to more confrontational form, after her relatively subdued and introspective '05 outing, THE BEEKEEPER. While that album may have been informed by the warm, nurturing side of ... Full Descriptionmotherhood, POSSE seems to plant its feet on the fierce, protective side of raising a child, with Amos referring to various social and political issues even in the record's title, which nods to the wildly popular American Girl series of collectable dolls and gives the bold performer yet another reason to play dress-up.
In keeping with the various personas depicted on POSSE's cover, Amos has kept the album appropriately eclectic, with the upbeat, keyboard-driven "Bouncing Off Clouds" and buoyant "Secret Spell" playing off moody songs such as "Teenage Hustling," which breaks into a startling guitar-heavy swagger as it comments on despondent youth. By remaining fascinatingly unpredictable (see "Big Wheel," a raucous Southern rock number replete with twangy electric-guitar lines), Amos proves that she is still a vital and uncompromisingly creative force in pop more than 15 years into her impressive career.
Personnel include: Tori Amos (background vocals); Mac Aladdin (acoustic 12-string guitar); Edward Bale, Matthew Elston, Rosmary Banks, Holly Butler (strings); Nick Hitchens (euphonium); Jon Evans (bass instrument); Matt Chamberlain (drums).
Recording information: Martian Engineering, Cornwall, England.
Rolling Stone (p.95) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[With] snowflake-perfect piano ballads elaborated with strings..."
Spin (p.92) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Trading obscure personal metaphors for assertive personae, Amos sings with a remarkably forceful focus."
CMJ (p.5) - "[H]er most rock-influenced record....Her sultry voice is draped over lush pianos, lo-fi drums, and melodic guitars."

KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12"
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD, The Chills' 18-track compilation culled from The Chills early and mid-'80s EPs and singles, is highlighted by the song "Pink Frost."
The Chills' Martin Phillipps mixes up melodic pop with elements of garage rock and punk, creating songs with a sweet melancholy all their own. Phillipps has always been the focus of the Chills, writing and singing the band's songs. His group has also rivaled Menudo in its sheer number of personnel changes. In a just world, the Chills would have sold just as many records.
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD showcases the shifting line-ups and many moods of the early to mid-'80s Chills. "Rolling Moon" captures a mood of shambling joy, its simple, repeated keyboard riff sounding like a distant caravan crossing New Zealand's big-sky country. "Pink Frost" is undoubtedly one of the Chills' two or three finest songs, an eerie tale of finding one's lover dead and being stricken with waves of icy panic. Phillipps's ghostly voice floats over glacial, plucked chords, its elegance and restraint only adding to the menace. "I Love My Leather Jacket" could have been written for the wake of "Pink Frost'"s dead lover. ...

Iron Maiden's live album DEATH ON THE ROAD captured the heavy-metal legends at a stop on their 2003 tour, which promoted both that year's DANCE OF DEATH and the best-of collection EDWARD THE GREAT. Recorded at the Westfalenhalle Arena in Dortmund, Germany, this concert film presents DEATH ON THE ROAD in visual form, with Maiden tearing through newer fare from DANCE OF DEATH as well as older classics like "Can I Play with Madness" and "The Trooper" for a potent showcase of singer Bruce Dickinson's soaring vocals and the band's trademark three-guitar assault.

World beat, modern acoustic, and experimental improv meld into an eclectic, organic sound that goes beyond the usual musical categories. From the psychedelic rock of Twice as Hard to the sweet feel of Moonrise in Mojave, from the funky blues of Say Goodbye all the way to the folky anthem Peace Begins With Me, this original collection of songs and tunes is like nothing you've ever heard. Be brave and give a listen.Terra Nova is based in Sebastopol, CA and consists of Chip Dunbar, Sara Winge, Ted Dutcher and Peter van Gorder. 1. Say Goodbye (Chip Dunbar) - Chip: vocals and electric mandocellos; Blair Hardman: bass; Ted: sonic ray and bug; Pete: drums.You don't know what you got till it's gone.2. Raven (Sara Winge) - Sara: vocals, waterphone and guitar; Chip: vocals and Wall of Mandolins; Ted: bass; Pete: talking drum and djembe.A haunting song about contemplating mortality. The spectral sound in the beginning (and sprinkled throughout) is the Waterphone. 3. Groundswell (Terra Nova) - Chip: balalaika, violins and octave violin; Pete: dumbec and djembe; Ted: bass; Sara: waterphones and guitar.Middle-eastern flavor in three parts. The first section is based on a Shiftatelli rhythm and highlights balilika and dumbek. Then the Waterphone changes everything. The djembe hits a Belladi-like groove, and is joined by the Bug, spring guiro and the Fiddles of Doom.4. All Sides (Chip Dunbar) - Chip: vocals and mandolin; Sara: vocals and guitar; Ted: bass; Pete: drums.A Libran point of view of the world situation (which is desperate, as usual).5. The Hills of North California (Tony Askins) - Sara: vocals and guitar; Chip, vocals, fiddle, mandolin and mandocello; Ted: bass; Pete: talking drum, djembe, percussion and drums.A plea to pay attention to the natural order around us.6. Across the Moors (Chip Dunbar) - Chip: mandolin, octave violin and guitar; Sara: guitar; Ted: bass; Pete: didgeridoo, talking drum, djembe and drums.Inspired by a visit to the Yorkshire Moors.7. Another Street (traditional proverb, music - Chip Dunbar) - Chip: vocals, guitar and violin; Sara: vocals; Ted: bass; Pete: surdo and drums.Chip based this song on a Tibetan proverb about learning from life's mistakes.8.
