Album Review:
In the spring of 2004, Warner Strategic Marketing reissued as remastered expanded editions Fleetwood Mac's first three albums with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Rumours is not only given an 18-track bonus disc, but the B-side "Silver Springs" is added to the original album, between "Songbird" and "The Chain" -- which may be a controversial move for some since it upsets the original running order (even though it was added to the previously released DVD Audio version of the record, albeit in a different place on the album, but that whole release scrambles the track listing on the second side, anyway). Nevertheless, it's very nice to have the original "Silver Springs" on CD, and the bonus disc is quite impressive, even though it isn't necessarily the kind of disc that will get played all that frequently. The biggest discovery are the previously unreleased songs -- two by Stevie Nicks, the very good official outtake "Think About It" (co-written with Roy Bittan) and the demo of "Planets of the Universe," and sketches by Christine McVie ("Butter Cookie (Keep Me There)") and Lindsey Buckingham ("Doesn't Anything Last"); while only "Think About It" was in any shape to make the final record, they're all interesting listens. Apart from the two jams that conclude the album (one a snippet, the other kind of lengthy and appropriately given "The Blues" as its subtitle), the rest of the album consists of alternate takes and demos of nearly every song on the album, with "Gold Dust Woman" and "Never Going Back Again" appearing twice (the latter is once given its original title, "Brushes"). These are dubbed as "roughs" on the back cover and that's what they are -- the songs are essentially in place, just not polished. Hence, it's easier to listen to than really rough demos, but there aren't any real revelations either -- just enough differences to make this a fascinating bonus disc for fans, particularly since the clearing-house nature of this bonus disc suggests there's nothing Rumours-related left in the vaults. While it may not be a disc that's played regularly, it's an excellent bonus disc that makes this overall package a superb reissue.

Album Review:
Rotting Christ has always been a metal band cloaked in the darkest musical elements,
ranging from black metal to the morbid, slightly unworldly tones of goth.
After experimenting with their signature sound in the late '90s on such intrepid
releases as A Dead Poem and Sleep of Angels, the band rightfully returned to the
black metal sound that they championed in their earlier days with the impressive
blast of Khronos 666. In 2002 the band once again emerged with an album of undeniably
sinister proportions, as Genesis encapsulates every facet of this Greek juggernaut's
ominous sound. The cascading, symphonic melodies that serve as a backdrop for Genesis
are truly intimidating and they wrap each and every song with a haunting aura of darkness.
Building on this macabre crescendo of aural atrocity, Rotting Christ does what they do best,
which is rifling through ten songs with fierce determination. It seems that with Genesis
the band wished to ascend to an unheard level of heaviness, as Themis' brutal drumming
throttles the listener with savage blasts while Sakis rises to this challenge with some
of his best guitar work of the group's 15-year career. Much of the album is highlighted
by the added textures of George's keyboard, strengthening Rotting Christ's sound without
weakening the aggressive punch the group is known for. When all is said and done,
Rotting Christ has once again delivered with a powerful album of putrid black metal and
fans should find Genesis a worthy successor to Khronos 666's diabolical intentions.

Album Review:
For the fan that wants more than the superb single-disc Greatest Hits yet
doesn't want to delve into actual albums or the exhaustive, rarities-heavy box
set Playback, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and MCA Records offered the
double-disc Anthology: Through the Years in the fall of 2000. This set basically
offers all the singles and album rock radio favorites, with a couple of odd
selections here and there and one new song, "Surrender." There are a few
omissions -- "Make It Better (Forget About Me)" isn't here, for instance -- but
not enough to really be noticeable, especially since this consolidates the bulk
of Petty's great songs and plays very, very well. Greatest Hits might have a
slight edge to Anthology because of its conciseness, but this double-disc set
illustrates that Petty's catalog was deeper than just the hits.

Album Review:
Irish guitarist Gary Moore has built an entire career on stubborn
self-recycling. Just when listeners think they have him pegged within a
particular musical style (heavy metal guitar slinger, soft-hearted acoustic
player, jazz fusion experimentalist, electric blues purist), the enduring
six-string legend throws a curve ball and changes artistic direction --
seemingly just to spite his critics. Because of this, his extensive recorded
legacy as a solo artist has defied adequate encapsulation into greatest-hits
packages, and in America, where his profile has never exceeded the status of a
connoisseur's favorite, taking a first stab at discovering his work becomes an
even more vexing task. Out in the Fields: The Very Best of Gary Moore doesn't
solve this problem, but it does alleviate it somewhat by concentrating on
Moore's best-known guise among the aforementioned connoisseur club -- hard rock
and heavy metal guitar shredder. Included here are the rare mainstream hits
("Out in the Fields," "Wild Frontier"), balls-out metal headbangers ("Run for
Cover," "Military Man"), sublime ballads ("Parisienne Walkways," "Empty Rooms"),
and later-day blues successes ("Cold Day in Hell," "Still Got the Blues"). In an
imperfect world and a less-than-perfect career, this is about as spot-on as one
can expect.

Album Review:
Though their name has always been a bit much for some to stomach, Greece's
Rotting Christ are hardly the most extreme of black metal bands. And despite
their unusual country of origin, they have capably challenged their mainland
counterparts by building a respectably consistent body of work without any
obvious clunkers. While this makes it rather difficult to pin-point their
best album, most would agree that 1997's strangely titled A Dead Poem (along
with its direct predecessor, the even more strangely named Triarchy of the
Lost Lovers) ranks among their best. Now a word of caution: Experienced
deathsters will probably prefer the band's more extreme early efforts.
A Dead Poem, despite its ample collection of aggressive riffs and infectious
guitar harmonies, rates higher in commercial accessibility than inspired
songwriting, making it ideal for beginning fans. "Sorrowful Farewell" and
the title track provide the album's best moments, and though they take a tad
long to get going, the acoustic guitar-driven "Ira Incensus" and the synthesizer
-enhanced "As if by Magic" eventually deliver some of the group's most melodic,
consumer-friendly hooks.

Album Review:
Dub Outernational is the first domestic U.S. release from U.K. dub specialists
Bush Chemists. The entire album was recorded in member Dougie Wardrop's attic,
and the music could be best described as a combination of futuristic sounds with
a classic reggae production. Essentially a compilation of remixed favorites from
past releases (they've done albums for the Conscious Sounds, Universal Egg, and
Centry labels over the years), Dub Outernational is appealing to both the newcomer
and the longtime fan. Each track slides into the next, almost playing like a
continuous hour-long composition - "Show Them the Way" is a work of spirituality,
while "Dub Exploitation," "Roots, Rock, Reggae," and the title track are all slinky,
liquid-sounding dubs.

Album Review:
You would never guess from Kenny Wayne Shepherd's fiery playing that the guitarist
is still only in his teens. On his debut, Ledbetter Heights, Shepherd burns through
a set of rather generic blues-rock ravers that are made special by his exceptional
technique. It may still be a while before he says something original, but he plays
with style, energy, and dedication, which is more than enough for a debut album.

Album Review:
Cretu being no fool, he figured if it worked the first time, no need to change things
much for the second. But he also knew not to simply go ahead and just rehash his debut
for Cross of Changes, resulting in a just different enough effort along the same overall
lines. The usual air of tasteful middle-of-the-road spirituality takes precedence, right
down to the cover art and appropriately pantheistic quote from Persian mystic poet Rumi
in the CD booklet. Needless to say, the music attempts to match the same throughout,
and often succeeds. Things kick off with more of the synth-whale song noises and atmospherics
from MCMXC, however there aren't any monks to be found this time around, but what sounds
like the same whispering woman talking about "clearing the debts of many hundred years"
and the like. From there, Cretu merrily takes the same plunge - some of his sample choices
this time around show he's got a decent record collection, including parts from Songs From
the Victorious City, the striking fusion of Egyptian and Western musics from Anne Dudley
and Jaz Coleman. His work with beats and loops noticeably shows a more developed edge -
while hardly an innovator, there's a bit more grime and loud in his rhythms, which in
combination with extra electric guitar make a reasonable contrast to the smoother elements.
Consider the rampaging conclusion to "I Love You...I'll Kill You," which while sharing some
cheese with the title itself still works surprisingly well, right down to a clever Robert
Plant vocal sample at the end. "Return to Innocence" was the big single from this one, not
quite up there with "Sadeness" in the popular culture in the U.S. but almost inescapable
elsewhere. There's another Led Zeppelin sample (this time John Bonham) and a haunting male
vocal providing oomph under the fuzzy-headed greeting card philosophy of the main lyrics.
It's an impressive effort, showing Cretu had a definite something in his own way.

Album Review:
Norwegian saxophonist/composer Jan Garbarek is one of the north’s premier
musicians–and not merely in “jazz.” He has evolved from his early years as a
Coltrane-influenced saxophonist into a unique approach to playing and writing,
with a distinctive sax tone and a mature composer’s ability to work with
materials from folk music and the avant-garde as well as with jazz. Garbarek has
long been my favorite saxophonist–there are moments here as on all his albums
when his knife-edged tone can just rip holes in you, like a scalpel made of
frozen fire.
Twelve Moonsis both a summation and a look forward. It contains a few
arrangements of traditional Norwegian songs (“Psalm” and “Gautes-Margjit”),
something Garbarek has been exploring in depth of late, but this is also the
first album on which Garbarek looks back to his past catalogue and reworks or
presents a new version of a piece he has recorded before. Twelve Moons is a
celebration, too, as ECM’s 500th release. It’s fitting that ECM’s 500th album be
a Garbarek work, due to their long association together.
“Brother Wind March” is a reworking of “Brother Wind” from Garbarek’s earlier
album Legend of the Seven Dreams(ECM) that turns the original into a dramatic
processional. “Arietta” is a gentle arrangement of an Edvard Grieg piece, while
the album’s title cut is a two-part excerpt of music from a documentary film.
The album concludes with the Jim Pepper tune “Witchi-Tai-To,” which the Garbarek
Group has been using as a signature tune since they first recorded it almost 20
years ago. They play it here in an extended version that begins with just drums
and sax, then builds up to an peaceful climax full of space and light–a powerful
and moving vision.
Any new Jan Garbarek album is always an event, because he is always changing and
exploring. Twelve Moonsis a worthy addition to his oeuvre, both a summation and
a celebration.

Album Review:
The Elektra debut by the late bluesman John Campbell is a curious affair in more
than one respect-despite it's obvious excellence and original voice. The first
is that he was signed at all. Clearly in 1990 when Campbell signed his deal,
record company executives were still interested inn finding new and original
talent and developing them over a period of time. One Believer was outside of
virtually every trend on major labels and in pop at the time. Other than Chris
Whitley's Living with the Law, it was the only roots record issued on a major
label in 1991. The other thing is that One Believer is an oddity even for
Campbell. It's a deeply atmospheric record full of subtle shimmering organs and
warm guitar textures that accent the dreamy spooky side of the blues more than
the crunchy stomp and roll that Campbell was known for in the clubs -- and
displayed on his follow-up Howlin' Mercy. Tracks like "Angel of Sorrow," "World
of Trouble," and "Wild Streak" offer shimmering ambient textures from which the
blues emanate from the ether, tonally and melodically challenging all acceptable
notions of what Texas blues should sound like -- but then, Mr. Campbell was
living and working in New York and his music was certainly influenced by that
late-night environment. These are beautiful songs, tempered in shadow and
restraint while baring their teeth at all the right moments. Other places the
roadhouse magic comes out of the closet as on "Couldn't Do Nothin'," "Devil In
My Closet," and "Person to Person. On "Voodoo Edge," the slowhand blues meets a
crisscross New Orleans second-line backbeat a la Dr. John and comes up with
chunky honky-tonk piano and shakers to give the piece an "I Walk on Gilded
Splinters feel, extending Campbell's sound over a deeper, darker shade of roots
music. This in underlined by the album's last two tracks -- "Take Me Down" and
the title track -- which are menacing in their conviction and creepy swampy in
execution. This is a fine, fine debut that remains in print.

Album Review:
This 77-track, four-CD set remains one of the best boxes devoted to a single
music act that one can buy, covering the output of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
across 22 years, from 1968 until 1990. The first thing that becomes apparent,
beyond the excellent sound (which was a revelation at the time, when only extant
editions of the group's work were the early, substandard CD editions), is the
sheer worth of the material. Crosby, Stills & Nash's reputation, based on their
first four albums, can be taken as a given for anyone who would think of buying
this set, and it does cover virtually every base that one could involving the
trio, with an occasional Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young cut included for
completeness' sake. Disc one by itself should be worth the price of the set to
serious fans, eight of its 18 tracks being previously unissued songs (including
a version of the Beatles' "Blackbird") and unissued early demos, alternate
takes, or variant mixes on songs from the Crosby, Stills & Nash or Deja Vu
albums, along with one Crosby & Nash outtake. Disc two is similarly filled with
previously unheard songs and versions of songs, although here the rarities are
more focused on material by Stephen Stills (including a Crosby, Stills & Young
version of "Black Queen"), Graham Nash solo, and the Crosby & Nash duo. Disc
three is devoted more to Manassas and Crosby & Nash, but does work in Crosby,
Stills, Nash & Young's "Taken at All" and "See the Changes" from various
attempts at doing albums. Disc four takes listeners up to 1990, with Stills,
Nash, and Crosby solo material (including unissued live and studio cuts) of the
'80s interspersed with released Crosby, Stills & Nash tracks and previously
unissued Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young tracks. The accompanying booklet includes
a sessionography and reminiscence about each track, and as most of this set is
presented in chronological order, one not only gets a dazzling four-hour-plus
song-by-song listening experience, but also what amounts to a montage/history of
the group and their members across more than two decades.

Album Review:
Aerosmith's 1991 three-CD box set Pandora's Box has just about everything you could possibly want: hits, demos, rarities, live material, key album tracks, and a booklet packed with classic photos, a bio, and the bandmembers' remembrances of all the tracks. Since the set was released by Columbia, none of their material from the mid-'80s through the early-'90s is featured (Done With Mirrors, Permanent Vacation, and Pump). But the '70s was when this legendary band was at their most raw and rocking best, and Pandora's Box is a superb overview of the group's work from their first self-titled album up until 1982's Rock in a Hard Place. Also included is solo material from Joe Perry and Brad Whitford, as well as an early track from Steven Tyler when he fronted a band called Chain Reaction in the '60s. The hits will attract the casual admirer ("Dream On," "Walk This Way," "Sweet Emotion," etc.), while the more obscure selections will surely please the longtime fan ("Rattlesnake Shake," "On the Road Again," a great demo of "Movin' Out," live versions of "Write Me a Letter," "I Wanna Know Why," etc.). Aerosmith was always an album-oriented band, and such selections as "No Surprize," "Three Mile Smile," "Lick and a Promise," "No More No More," and "Seasons of Wither" often outshine the hits. By touching all the bases, Pandora's Box is an excellent package.
