Yes it's true, these are great grooves
on October 1, 2008
Posted by: Rush2112
from Massena, NY
This CD flows like an actual regular release. Whoever compiled this new their stuff! Why FM or satellite radio never plays these guys is beyond me. Ultimately that doesn't matter c/o radio is almost as irrelevant as TV now, and true rock fans will know who the Flamin Groovies are. They are their own genre. Want the best of the 50s rock, garage, 60s/70s Stones, and Beatlesque punk? Buy this now!
What's great about it: great cross section of Groovies
What's not so great: omits 99% early era Groovies, but oh well
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dozer will bulldoze you
on October 1, 2008
Posted by: Rush2112
from Massena, NY
This is guitar driven Scandanavian rock for fans of Nebula, Fu Manchu, Greenleaf, Turbonegro, QOTSA, etc. They have one foot in the 70s and the other foot light years ahead of most bands. Hoist a strong brew and play loud!
What's great about it: zoned out hard rock

Don't deny the Brain Surgeons
on October 1, 2008
Posted by: Rush2112
from Massena, NY
Ross the Boss from Dictators/Manowar lends his axework to the Brain Surgeons latest effort. Find their other CDs for quality hard rock w/a gritty NYC edge to it. Also locate Al's brother Joe Bouchard's projects X-Brothers and Bouchard/Dunaway/Smith w/2 dudes from the Alice Cooper Band.
What's great about it: Led by former BOC drummer Albert Bouchard
What's not so great: RIP guitarist Billy Hilfiger

Get lost in space w/Amon Duul II
on September 30, 2008
Posted by: Rush2112
from Massena, NY
Don't expect the early sounds of Amon Duul II. This one has nothing to do w/Yeti or Phallus Dei but one can hear traces of Vive La Trance and Hi Jack here and there. The sonic twin of this has to be Almost Alive...
All tracks offer a treat to the listener but my favorites are Telly Vision, FLower..., and Merlin. Expect some futuristic prog rock w/a touch of humor as only the Germans can pull off.
What's great about it: streamlined ADII boldly going into the late 70s

Roll out the black carpet for The Mother of Tears
on September 30, 2008
Posted by: Rush2112
from Massena, NY
As you know, no doubt, this is the third and final (?) part of Argento's Three Mothers trifecta. It's hard to compare to the others but an avid fan will spot some influences from both Suspiria and Inferno in this one. The evil Mother is both incredibly gorgeous and sadistic. The bloodletting is not for the faint of heart and rivals the shock and awe of the previous 2 entries in this series. In the bonus features our hero Dario hints about the faint possibility of a 4th entry--possibly a prequel?!!
What's great about it: ultra violent closure of the trilogy

The Devil's Answer is Atomic Rooster
on September 30, 2008
Posted by: Rush2112
from Massena, NY
In America my buddies and I grew up w/Sabbath, Priest, Zep, Purple, and UFO but I never caught on to Atomic Rooster until years later after the advent of import CDs. Wow, better late than never c/o the Rooster soars over 99% of better known hard rockers. The playing is flawless and incorporates a vicious jazzy funk vibe w/cutting guitar work. Check out the eerie lyrics that rival the Sabs w/an evil tone. All tracks are strong but standouts are "Head in the Sky" and the grim "Black Snake."
What's great about it: sinister and unforgiving British wall of rock
What's not so great: suicide in 1989 of leader Vincent Crane

Lay Your Money Down for Tora Tora
on September 30, 2008
Posted by: Rush2112
from Massena, NY
Hey I love grunge & Seattle bands from the late 80s & early 90s but the flip side to that greasy coin was the underrated hard rock bands who didn't downtune. Among those bands are Tora Tora. Seek them out along w/Bullet Boys, Law and Order, Royal Court of China, etc if you like a dash of blues added to your rock and roll. Favorite track: "Shattered"
What's great about it: solid hard rock in the grunge years

Dare to enter The Church
on September 29, 2008
Posted by: Rush2112
from Massena, NY
Take a weekend and watch this film and it's close relative "The Sect" (aka "Daughter of Darkness"). Then follow w/Argento's occult trilogy of "Suspiria", "Inferno", and "Mother of Tears." All the above spin tales of mystery, delirium, suspense, and horror.
"The Church" has a sharp look and a strong soundtrack which is a trademark of Argento-related films. Director Soavi learned from the best and it shows here. The closing shot of a young Asia Argento at the church site is brilliant. She is, after all, the real life Princess of Darkness.

What's great about it: 1-2 punch of Soavi and Argento

A Triumph from The Quill
on September 29, 2008
Posted by: Rush2112
from Massena, NY
The Quill are worth tracking down for fans of 70s influenced hard rock w/a modern vibe. Their European origins give the sound a unique flavor, and upon repeated listening I can hear anything from big, fat Led Zeppelin to Golden Earring right thru to Euro 70s bands like Epitaph, Neon Rose, or early Scorpions. Check out the pipes on Magnus Ekwall.
What's great about it: hard rock w/some swagger

Broken Mirrors & Broken Minds in the Black Forest
on September 26, 2008
Posted by: Rush2112
from Massena, NY
Italian mastermind Dario Argento weaves a cultic fairy tale starring Jessica Harper. This movie has an evil undercurrent that swells unpredictably in vicious, bloody bursts that may shock the unprepared. All I can say is be ready mentally. The soundtrack is pure genius: prog rockers Goblin create an uncomparable (dungeon) wall of sound that makes this a total sensory experience not to be soon forgotten.
What's great about it: technicolor nightmare from 1977
