Led Zeppelin How The West Was Won: Live (3CD)Se flere produkter fra AmazonHow the West Was Won has been a long time coming. For a band with such an overarching legacy, the official record of Led Zeppelin's legendary--and unpredictable--live act has previously been poorly represented by the disappointing, scattershot soundtrack to The Song Remains the Same. But this triple-disc live set (culled from 1972 Long Beach/LA shows in advance of Houses of the Holy) addresses history with a vengeance, if a few decades late. These shows have rightfully assumed cult status in the bootleg market, showcasing a band at the peak of its creative and performing powers. The Zep faithful will welcome this belated release as evidence for enduring loyalty, but younger fans may find its diversity and dynamics even more enlightening--indeed, whole careers have since been built on the musical ideas Jimmy Page and company throw out here as decorative filler. Crucially rooted in the amped-and-hammered American blues of the guitarist's former band, the Yardbirds, the marathon work-outs of "Dazed and Confused" and "Whole Lot a Love" (which consume nearly an hour all by themselves) somehow encompass Ricky Nelson, Morocco, James Brown, Holst, Elvis Presley and Muddy Waters amidst their trademark sturm und drang, while the acoustic set that closes out Disc One showcases the band's--and particularly Robert Plant's--good-natured, crypto-Celtic folk appeal with energetic aplomb. Bigger and brasher than just about any rock act that followed in its historic wake, yet ever fan-loyal to its myriad influences, Led Zeppelin's live juggernaut finally gets the monument it deserves. --Jerry McCulley Fragt: Ukendt! |

Clare Teal Orsino's SongsSe flere produkter fra AmazonNot for nothing has Brit-jazz singer Teal named her second Candid album Orsino's Songs: this is the selfsame Duke Orsino of Shakespeare fame who inspired Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn to come up with Such Sweet Thunder. There's not much in the way of inclement weather here, but sweet music and antique songs are both well represented in an intimate set that is characterised by Teal's smooth and mellifluous vocals. She uses a small group setting that has the musicians high in the mix, and reed player Alan Barnes gets showpieces on two tracks, so the fans at the hard-jazz end of the spectrum will be kept comfortable. Teal cowrote four tracks here, and it's a credit to her that they fit seamlessly into a programme that includes "The Way You Look Tonight", "Mountain Greenery" and "Blues in the Night". The arrangements are understated, Teal's vocal control is impressive as ever and this is bound to prove an advance in a rapidly developing career. -- Keith Shadwick Fragt: Ukendt! |

Birthday Party HitsSe flere produkter fra AmazonHits, though a Best Of compilation, contained no hits at all. Rather it gleaned its title from the conscious and constant violence of The Birthday Party's music. Moving to London as the Eighties began, they lasted a mere three years before collapsing in on themselves, unable to maintain such a level of aggressive sonic innovation. Opening with such sparse shockabilly attacks as "Nick The Stripper" and "Release The Bats", Hits drags us roughly through the band's short-yet-seismic career. Junkyard, their jerky, bluesy, metal-bashing fourth album, was well represented by the cruel, countrified "She's Hit" and "Big Jesus Trashcan". Singer Nick Cave's fascination with murder ballads was revealed by the grim "Deep In The Woods", while "Mutiny In Heaven" took his interest in religion and religious fervour to new ecstatic heights. In terms of sophisticated artistry, Cave would advance mightily, but he never again achieved such savagery. -- Dominic Wills Fragt: Ukendt! |

The Levellers Letters from the UndergroundSe flere produkter fra AmazonEnglish folk-punk stalwarts the Levellers have come in for their fair share of stick over the last 15 years, with many continuously asserting they wouldn't fancy touching them with a particularly lengthy one. Much of the derision may stem from ugly social bigotry centred on the fact that they look allergic to the idea of a good sponging, but the bulk is of their own making--firstly for scrubbing up to chase radio playlists and sell-out arena tours in a misguided advance on Britpop's commercial bounty (see Zeitgeist and Mouth to Mouth), and secondly by becoming so anaemically middle of the road that fresh road-kill looked more revolutionary ( Hello Pig). But with Letters from the Underground they've pulled off the ageing band's prerogative of dropping the artifice in favour of getting back to what they're good at. And they've done it with some real aplomb. It's essentially involved them throwing their classic Levelling the Land breakthrough at a wall, sticking the pieces back together and re-firing over current political blazes. So the fiddle frazzled high-kicking of "Cholera Well" and self-explanatory "Burn, America, Burn" wreak lyrical wrath on post-9/11 aggression, "Pale Rider" taking a post-7/7 UK perspective, while the didgeridoo underpinned (yes, indeed, that icon of crustiness returns too) "Before the End" is more personal, more tender, though no less fraught. They've regained their bite, like imparting these opinions and observations is a calling they have no choice but to answer. And it turns out that's better for us all than you might have thought. --James Berry Fragt: Ukendt! |

Alison Krauss Union Station New FavoriteSe flere produkter fra AmazonNew Favorite is the first album released by Alison Krauss and Union Station since their role in the megahit soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou?--an album that's done more to advance the cause of bluegrass since Bill Monroe first conjured the music out of the hills of western Kentucky. While their previous full album, Forget About It, showcased the more contemporary part of Krauss's musical equation and the O Brother soundtrack spotlighted the more traditional, New Favorite combines the approaches in balancing the softer sounds with the rougher-edged material. Krauss' soft and intimate vocals particularly shine on the soulful title tune of love gone cold. However, it's mostly the older sounds that you'll remember from this largely sombre album, one that telegraphs uncertainty, doom, and the promise of bloodshed throughout much of the repertoire. On "Momma Cried", a song about a child-snatching that tore a family asunder, Dan Tyminski's tenor vocals rise above a wailing dobro, a driving banjo and a thumping, anchoring bass to convey unspeakable pain. Too many of the pop-minded songs fall flat in comparison, but although this may not be the group's best effort overall, no other crossover bluegrass band begins to meet their mark either musically or emotionally, as New Favorite so amply shows. --Alanna Nash Fragt: Ukendt! |

Martina McBride EmotionSe flere produkter fra AmazonLiquid-eyed Martina McBride finds herself in a holding pattern after 1997's Evolution, unable to break completely free of country radio's indistinguishably bombastic mandates but also perceptibly champing at the bit to disobey them. The arena-ready country-rock ditties lead her to overreach badly (did it really take three writers to invent the hackneyed "I Love You"?), and the trite power ballads just push her bluster buttons, but when McBride's got good material, she's capable of making music that's quite nearly memorable. "Anything's Better Than Feelin' the Blues" (by Matraca Berg and Randy Scruggs) could be an exciting country single, and the two final tunes, Patty Griffin's "Good Bye" and Gretchen Peters's "This Uncivil War", clearly advance McBride's pop-ballad tendencies with some believable lyrical introspection. Such moments, however, are only brief respites from the overbearing Nashville formula. --Roy Kasten Fragt: Ukendt! |

Plump DJ's Urban Underground: Mixed By the Plump Dj'sSe flere produkter fra AmazonCurrent darlings of the nu-skool breaks scene, Plump DJs are the perfect choice to kick-start this new, Urban Underground mix series. Already established as talented beat-mongers in their own right, the duo's slick, precise style and obvious love for all things electro imparts this collection with all the energy and power you'd expect from over an hour's worth of twisted breakbeats and gut-wrenching bottom end. From the outset the pace is relentless, Arthur Baker's remixed "Put The Needle On The Record" an apt and lively starting point, while Soul Of Man's "Killa Brew" is exactly that and more--an intoxicating ride through clipped and time-stretched samples all kicking for position against a giant digi-dub bassline. It's not all this polite though. The Plump's own "Big Groovy Fucker" hits you square on the jaw, Only Kismet's "Gameboy" bleeps and throbs its way thorough junglist heaven and Freestylers' mighty "Now Is The Time" bounces along like an elastic band plucked to the rhythm of cardiac arrest. Climaxing with the "we're not worthy" acid house classic "Stakker Humanoid" (another Plump remix), this is the stuff of great nights out. -- Paul Tierney Fragt: Ukendt! |

Gomez In Our GunSe flere produkter fra AmazonThe third album proper from the most inventive British band of the past five years, In Our Gun is bang on target and brilliantly off kilter. Gomez create new musical hybrids every time they hunker down in the musical laboratory. Since emerging from Southport with the Mercury Prize-winning debut Bring It On in 1998, the self-produced five-piece have created their own rules. What's miraculous about their follow up to Liquid Skin is that it manages to advance on the manic diversity of its predecessors. Gomez are a unique band--they have three distinctive vocalists in Ben Ottewell, Ian Ball and Tom Gray and an ever fizzling chemistry where every member is made to count. The resulting emotional and musical palette is vast, encompassing epic grandeur and lucid intimacy; tenderness and anger. A quick check of their armoury reveals Beefheart-ian blues, a beautifully cantankerous horn section, Mariachi melodies, euphoric harmony vocals, blasting hip-hop beats, slide guitar that sounds like it's come up the Mersey via the Mississippi... and that's just for starters. Resistance to their Gun is futile, but rest assured surrender is bliss. --Gavin Martin Fragt: Ukendt! |

Korn Take a Look in the MirrorSe flere produkter fra AmazonTake a Look in the Mirror poses an interesting dilemma for Korn: what happens when the genre you birthed starts smelling as whiffy as a three-day-old corpse? Korn's eponymous 1994 debut laid the foundation for the rap-rock boom of the late 1990s, but their subsequent string of records did little to advance the template and 2002's brooding, experimental Untouchables saw fans switching off in droves. Consequently, Take a Look in the Mirror, the South Californian quintet's sixth album, is an attempt to right the decline through the trumpeting of past glories. The tortured opener "Right Now" harks back to career highlight "Faget", bassist Fieldy and drummer David Silveria seemingly keen to prove they're still one of rock's most consistently pile driver-powerful rhythm sections. But no amount of phlegm and profanity can disguise the fact that frontman Jonathan Davis' lyrics are dysfunction-by-rote and apart from a so-so guest spot by Nas ("Play Me") and a couple of deliciously wicked gothic numbers in the shape of "Deep Inside" and "Everything I've Known", this is the sound of a band treading water. Fans may relish Korn's return to the rap-metal dark ages, but if the genre's starting to smell decidedly stale for you, Take a Look in the Mirror should prove anything but a breath of fresh air. --Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Millie Jackson Caught Up/Still Caught UpSe flere produkter fra AmazonThe 1974 Caught Up was Millie Jackson's breakthrough, a soul opera about infidelity with Jackson playing the "other woman" on one side-long suite, punctuated with an extended, down-and-dirty rap, and the wronged wife on the other. With the Muscle Shoals rhythm section's rippling pulse and slick, protodisco orchestrations backing up Jackson's histrionic but sensitive readings of a string of cheating-song covers (plus some originals that advance the plot), this was as high-concept as '70s soul got, and it's kept its savage emotional force even as its style dates it. This reissue couples it with the 1975 sequel Still Caught Up, which forces the narrative a little (it ends with the mistress going insane and being hauled away!) but spawned the hit "Leftovers." --Douglas Wolk Fragt: Ukendt! |
