Over the years, Bootsy and Bill Laswell have developed an intimate working relationship that has spanned projects for artists as diverse as Material, Herbie Hancock, Sly & Robbie, Praxis, Axiom Funk, Ryuichi Sakamoto, several solo...
This, the much anticipated third album by Detroit's critically acclaimed brother and sister duo, The White Stripes was recorded in early February this year at the legendary Easley Studio in Memphis, Tennessee and if The White Stripes were the Velvet Underground this would be their Loaded.

Starting where Holland's Urban Dance Squad left off--thrash rock coupled with hip-hop beats, rapping, and Jamaican-style toasting--311 found their own voice on 1994's Grassroots. Here they prove to be an estimable groove machine on cuts such as "Applied Science" and "Omaha Stylee," blending turntable moves and ska rhythms like a kinder, gentler Fishbone. Avowed stoners, they dip into noodly Grateful Dead territory on the jammy "Taiyed," touch on...
At heart, the Ponys are a garage band. The Chicago quartet stretches the limits of the form so far, however, they practically explode it. You could just call it "rock and roll," but the phrase is as inadequate to the Ponys as it is to Television, the Voivoids, and the Only Ones. If a band has a lifetime to prepare for their debut, the follow-up is where they really prove their mettle. Produced by Steve Albini, their second full-length makes it...

Japanese exclusive EP release.
Ex-Limbomaniac, M.I.R.V. (that's his name, folks) does the Snoop Doggy Dogg thing by interspersing tunes with low-life vignettes and narrative. The wacked-out, well-executed songs range from the Morricone-meets-Dick Dale on, "On the Prowl" and "Surfin' Soviet" to such low-grade Zappa-esque routines as, "Jumpin' Bones" and "Jerky Beef." Fans of Ween will also be amused. --Jeff Bateman
Seven CD Set First Time on CD for These Rare 70's Concert Recordings Packaged in a Deluxe Box.
Phrases like "hypnotic" and "trance inducing" are sure to pop up in any OOIOO review, but there are many other seemingly disparate but equally appropriate adjectives--like swirling, noisy, and menacing. It's not surprising that beneath this veneer of womblike ecstasy, Feather Float is disarmingly challenging, especially given that the driving member of OOIOO (pronounced "oh-oh-eye-oh-oh") is Yoshimi, hailing from Japanese noise merchants ...
The story of Elliott Smith is well known now: Shy and reclusive indie rocker soars to a Hollywood soundstage and major-label contract. His fans gasped in collective horror when he took a bow at the 1998 Oscars, his hand clasped by Celine Dion. He seemed far too fragile to survive among the sharks and vultures on the corner of Hollywood and Vine. But as his subsequent albums XO and now Figure 8 show, Smith has weathered the spotlight successfully...
A chronicle of Jeff Buckley's pre-Columbia work with guitarist Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart). Produced by Hal Wilner. Features previously unheard tracks including early versions of 'Mojo Pin' & 'Grace'. Knitting Factory. 2002.

Resembling at times a soft-sung Robert Plant, Buckley was an intuitive vocalist capable of dizzying arabesques and choir-boy sweetness. He is joined here by a tight band for 10 tracks highlighting his stylistic range--Pearl Jam bluesy on "Eternal Life," impossibly serene on Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," art-school noisy on "So Real," Led Zep daring on "Mojo Pin." Unorthodox, this was the debut of '94. --Jeff Bateman

Mystery White Boy, culled from Jeff Buckley's eight-month world tour of the same name, is not just another live album blighted by whoops and catcalls. Such was the reverence granted the ill-starred singer-songwriter's electrifying confessionals that hardly a whimper issues from the audience in 78 minutes--not, at least, until each gargantuan heart-and-soul epic ends. Buckley treated music like it was Shakespearean tragedy, and that grandiosity...

Japanese Limited Version featuring Full Color Photo Booklet, and a Bonus Dvd (Region Code 2, Ntsc Format).
The soundtrack to the Jonathan Demme full-length documentary film of the same name, Storefront Hitchcock demonstrates that Robyn Hitchcock's psychedelic folk music is as multifaceted when presented live, solo, and acoustic as it often is with studio elaboration. Hitchcock's Lennon-, Barrett-, and Byrds-influenced songs--a dozen showcased here, both old and new--are dense with off-kilter imagery, humor, and warmth; his guitar playing is...
Ah, yes, the stuff that should have been hits, plus some live squiggly bits, all passed off as the very best of Robyn and his band. So, you get things that got air or MTV play, things which nobody quite noticed at the time, like "Flesh Number One (Beatle Dennis)" and even a killer cover of "Eight Miles High." It's all stirring stuff--Hitchcock at his child-like best on the lyrics--not as many insects or fish as the real connoisseur might want,...
Arguably their finest album, this follow-up to Opiate showcases Tool at their best, assisted by clean, crisp production, without the muddiness of Aenima. Edgy guitar riffs are complemented by spitting, heavy bass, especially on "Sober" and "Crawl Away". Lyrically, Tool are at their vitriolic best, targeting religious hypocrisy ("Intolerance," "Sober"; always a popular theme), the loss of innocence and its consequences ("Prison Sex"), and...

Three track CD single.
Japanese Version featuring a Bonus Track: "Miss Misery".
Soundtrack from the Roddy Bogawa film, as performed by the inimitable Brokaw. Guitar bliss-out. Deftly delivered by the man whose previous pedigree has few peers (Come, Pullman, The New Year, and Codeine). Sublime music for fans of Chris's previous bands and compatriots like Calexico, Pinetop Seven, and Giant Sand. If "Red Cities" was a soundtrack without a film, one of the most versatile, expressive, and thoughtful talents in the pool now has...
A member of the band Heatmiser, Elliot Smith recorded home demos on any equipment he could get his hands on. His first "solo" album is a cheap four-track home recording that hints at the melodic possibilities Smith would explore in greater detail on subsequent releases. The title track is remarkable but with four songs referred to in sequential order as "No Name #1," "No Name #2," etc. ... the inspiration isn't always fully firing. Blessed with...
On XO, Elliott Smith leaves the indie doldrums behind and takes wing to new, lush surroundings. By adding full instrumentation to his acoustic reveries, Smith has ascended to a new level of songwriting that shores up his gentle voice and country-tinged guitar playing with extra layers of vocal arrangements and charming piano vamps. Strains of classic rock filter into the Beatlesque "Baby Britain" and the Beach Boys-inspired "I Didn't...

Try not to drag out the Syd and Lennon comparisons one more time, OK? By now everyone knows that Robyn has a psychedelic heart. But after umpteen albums, can't we admit that this style is his, not anyone else's? The pure mix of pop, folk, the images that seem to come merrily loping out of left field--that's him. And on Moss Elixir, he's refined the sound, being very spare with his arrangements--a little guitar here, a few strings there-which...

This Song, from 1994's 'grace', is Said to Be One of the Buckley's Most Passionate and Emotive Compositions. Includes a Live Rendition of 'eternal Life' plus a Version of Alex Chilton's 'kanga-roo'.
Perhaps the most talented "son act" in pop music, Jeff Buckley combined the often harrowing eclecticism of estranged papa Tim Buckley with the rock acrobatics of Robert Plant. This posthumously released collection of four-track demos and sessions helmed by Tom Verlaine indicates that Buckley's astonishing full-length debut, Grace, was no fluke. The young singer-songwriter puts his falsetto to good use on an extraordinary collection of original...

The Fleeting Skies is a testament to an artist who is constantly willing to absorb new thoughts and translate them into her own work. Samara Lubelski is what some would call a lifer: a person who is willing to keep on making music, honing her craft because she can't conceive of not doing it. Take The Fleeting Skies as a kind of travel guide through her aural perambulations over two continents and with the help of a number of her friends....
