Crystal Days: 1979-1999
: :Though a much-ballyhooed phenomenon that influenced modern bands as diverse as Pavement, Hole, and Flaming Lips, Liverpool's Echo & the Bunnymen tellingly had their biggest American successes ('Lips Like Sugar' and a cover of the Doors' 'People Are Strange') just as they were beginning to come apart at the seams. With frontman Ian McCulloch wailing his impressionistic/expressionistic lyrics (occasionally so obtuse it was hard to tell which adjective applied) over Will Sergeant's fevered, jaggedly hypnotic guitar lines like a shamanic voice in the wilderness, the Bunnymen didn't so much push rock's ...

The Stiff Records Box Set
: :Understand from the get-go that label retrospectives are spotty affairs. Rare is the label that's free of stiffs, and Stiff Records' raison d'état was to serve as a refuge for castoffs, including a fair share of flaccid acts. The off-center likes of Nick Lowe (having recently fleed the misbegotten Brinsley Schwarz), Ian Dury, Wreckless Eric, Larry Wallis, and a very young Elvis Costello found a home with Stiff in the '70s. It wasn't a punk label, though it boasted the Damned; it wasn't a ska imprint, though Madness and Desmond Dekker ...

Discover
:Album Description:The Jezebels were always attuned to the darker side of romance and sex, unlike the shiny, neutered pop yearnings of their contemporaries. Like most early 80's bands, they'd been weaned on glam rock, but it was the underground that was receptive to their punk-funk undertones and vision. Fronted by androgynous twins Jay and Michael Aston and featuring an evolving cast of musicians, the early recordings had an experimental edge that has kept the music fresh. Long unavailable, this classic catalog is finally re-issued in double disc packaging. 'Discover' CD 1: ...

Threesome No. 1
: :The first three Mothers albums, released between June 1966 and March 1968, come packaged as a ruthless, mind-bending, (and now, midline) monster. During this period of remarkable and unprecedented creativity, Zappa and the Mothers produced ambitious, far-ranging, unsettling, provocative, and wholly original psychedelic rock--simultaneously ridiculing psychedelic rock as they raised it to a completely new level. The musical trail brilliantly meandered (bulldozed?) through garage rock, groovy R&B, avant-garde jazz, blissful pop, and patchwork sonic experimentalism. Lyrically, Zappa delivered serious political and social commentary in ways that were completely nonsensical; he delivered ...
