First UK release for tenth album from crazed Japanese techno-punk-metal merchants (originally issued in Japan in 2001). This follow-up to 2001's 'OSC-DIS' is a mind-blowing blast of industrial-strength guitars, superfast live drum'n' bass beats, techno bleeps and pulses and shouted, incomprehensible punk rock vocals delivered in rudimentary English. Includes the single 'Fly High'.

Full title: Legend Of The Wu-Tang: Wu-Tang Clan's Greatest Hits.
Wu-Tang Clan: GZA, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killah, Method Man, Ol' Dirty Bastard, RZA, Raekwon, U-God, Cappadonna.
Producers: Prince Rakeem "The RZA"; Allah Mathematics
Compilation Producer: Gretchen Brennison.
Liner Note Author: Margeaux Watson.
Recording information: 1993 - 2001.
Wu-Tang Clan records have always reflected the kaleidoscopic nature of the group itself, which consists of nine members, each with at least three identities of their own. It's no surprise, then, that Wu-Tang albums vibrate with the energy of a raucous crowd, as unpredictable rhymes gust back and forth. The collective of NYC-area rappers banded together as a unit to most effectively launch solo records, with 1993's ENTER THE WU-TANG (36 CHAMBERS) acting as the springboard. While many classic albums have emerged from the pact (including Method Man's TICAL and Ghostface Killah's SUPREME CLIENTELE), when the group comes together, something wonderfully chaotic ensues.
Fittingly, Wu-Tang Clan's first hits record, LEGEND OF THE WU-TANG, has a wandering nature, with remixes thrown in haphazardly, adding to the anything-can-happen feel always surrounding the outfit. The album opens with the three tracks that began its reign, "C.R.E.A.M.," "Method Man," and "Protect Ya Neck," the latter two intriguingly reworked. Elsewhere, two of the unit's finest mid-career singles--"Triumph" and "Gravel Pit"--are placed back-to-back. As a whole, the collection is a reminder of theexcitement and genius that has made the group so enduring.

Personnel: Will Downing (vocals); Ira Siegal, Norman Brown, Wayne Bruce, Dwight Sills, Phillip Hamilton, Paul Jackson, Jr. (guitar); Gerald Albright, Kirk Whalum (tenor saxophone); Nicholas Payton (trumpet); Chris Davis, Rex Rideout, George Duke, Barry Eastmond, Ronnie Foster (keyboards); Dwayne 'Smitty" Smith, Alex Al, Melvin Davis, Ronnie Garrett, Ron Jerkins (bass); Michael White, John Robinson, Bernard Davis (drums); Luis Conte, Bashiri Johnson (percussion); Isaac Coleman, Kim Brewer, Nikki Richards (background vocals).
Producers include: Will Downing, Chris Davis, Ronnie Foster, Rex Rideout, Barry J. Eastmond.
To the untrained eye, silken-voiced Will Downing may seem merely an R&B journeyman, making solid, soulful records year after year, just on the edge of stardom. However, there has to be more to an artist whose first hit single is an update of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme." And, indeed, EMOTIONS, the singer's tenth album, features a jazz undercurrent (no, not Kenny G "jazz"), sincerely channeling the spirit of Bill Withers and Al Green records past.
EMOTIONS opens with a tender jam (gutsily "for the fellas"), "A Million Ways," which asserts "making love ain't just in the bed." In this chronicle of the simple ways to please a woman, Downing creates such a smooth groove that the complexities of love seem rather basic. Later in the album, he manages to discover a new angle to the oft-covered "Hey There LonelyGirl," his baritone contrasting with the falsetto of the most famous version. Will Downing's been at it for decades, but he shows on EMOTIONS that after all this time, he can still summon up the most sensual recesses of the soul.

Personnel includes: Jon B., Nas, Eve, Faith Evans, Cuban Link, AZ.
Producers: Jon B., Tim, Bob, Babyface.
Engineers include: Jerome Goodall, Jon B., Chris Shepard.
Recorded at VibeZelect Studios, Pasadena, California.
Smooth and silky, with a hint of danger--no, it's notthe latest Calvin Klein offering, it's Jon B.'s third album PLEASURES U LIKE. The rapper/singer croons his way through a slew of sexy selections, from the bedroom grooves of "Finer Things" to the, er, further bedroom grooves of "Do it All Again."
While it's obvious Jon B. has something of a one-track mind, he's also got some penetrating lyrical insights and superlative musical smarts, as evidenced on "Inside," which features Spanish-influenced guitar and sensitive percussion. This is mood music with depth; Jon B. plays to his strengths, and the pleasure is all ours.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Tom Petty (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Benmont Tench (vocals, keyboards); Stan Lynch (vocals, drums); Mike Campbell (guitar); Ron Blair (bass).
Recorded at Sound City, Van Nuys, California and at Cherokee Studios, Hollywood, California.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
It is encouraging to note that in compiling the superlative GREATEST HITS, four tracks from this blinder of an album were included, more than from any of his others. This is the ideal starting point for Petty students, (and then you can acquire all his other albums). For those unfamiliar, he is a rock 'n' roll Roger McGuinn. Those who are already aware of him will know that he has the knack of writing some of the best middle eight hooks ever heard, plays a Rickenbacker, andthat he has an addictive voice and a knock-out supporting band. Is that enough?

'Winning Days' is the follow up to the critically acclaimed 2002 release 'Highly Evolved'. Here the Australianquartet stick to the basic formula of indie/punk vocals over a grunge-rock beat that worked well for them on their debut. Comparisons to Nirvana made when the band first appeared are more prevelant on this release as the production is rawer and more feedback laden and vocalist Craig Nicholls' lyrics are more screamed than sang. This album includes the single 'Ride'.

Initial copies of GOOD MORNING AZTLAN include a bonus disc featuring two previously unreleased live recordings and documentary footage.
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains regular audio files and Multimedia computer files.
Los Lobos: David Hidalge (vocals, guitars, requinto jarocho, melodica, bass, drums); Cesar Rosas (vocals, guitar, quatro); Conrad Lozano (vocals, bass); Louie Perez (guitar, jarana, drums, percussion); Steve Berlin (flute, saxophone, midisaxophone, keyboards, percussion).
Additional personnel: Martha Gonzalez (vocals); Bucky Baxter (steelguitar); Fermin Herrera (Veracruz harp); Cougar Estrada, Pete Thomas (drums, percussion); Rick Marotto (drums); Victor Bisetti (percussion).
Recorded at CRG Studios, Rowland Heights and Sunset Sound,
Hollywood, California.
Jettisoning the studio bells-and-whistles used by the Mitchell Froom/Tchad Blake production team throughout the '90s, Los Lobos change gears by hooking up with Radiohead/XTC producer John Leckie on GOOD MORNING AZTLAN, the band's 10th full-length album. Named for the mythical birthplace of the Aztecs, this 12-pack of songs draws deeply from Los Lobos' unique mix of rock, R&B, blues, and Mexican folk music. With David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas cranking up their guitars, songs like the title cut and the rumbling shuffle "Done Gone Blue" juice up the proceedings alongside mellower fare like the Curtis Mayfield-flavored soul of "The Word" and the delicate Latin flavors of "Malaque."
Ever aware of their roots in East L.A., these first-generation Mexican Americans have always made a point of writing about those who've come to this country to achieve the American dream. "Tony & Maria" finds the band revisiting characters first written about on 1985'S HOW WILL THE WOLF SURVIVE, only to find these immigrants facing a life of fading hope. Other high points find saxman Steve Berlin blasting through the gritty funk-rock "Get To This," Quetzal singer Martha Gonzalez's harmonies gilding the soulful "Hearts Of Stone," and all of Los Lobos sizzling on the cumbia "Maria Christina."

Rain Tree Crow includes: David Sylvian (vocals); Steven Jansen (guitar).
All tracks have been remastered.
A one-off project of suchextraordinary depth it's a crime no sequel materialized. This regrouping of Japan under a Southwest noir name eclipses the majority of the band's fine back catalog. RAIN TREE CROW is hallucinogenic, surreal, mysterious, yet powerful. The vignettes herein tell tales of isolated desert regions pockmarked by loneliness and climatic upheaval, of landscapes barren save for the husks of rusty car skeletons and cattle skulls.
Multi-instrumentalist/vocalist David Sylvian, keyboardist Richard Barbieri, percussionist Steve Jansen and bassist Mick Karn are some of the most adroit musicians in modern music. These moments of brittle rock, fractured "progressive" blues, and supple experimentation remain wholly unique. Restrained yet inventive songscapes such as the beautiful "Pocket Full of Change" and "Every Colour You Are" are balanced against evocative instrumentals such as "Red Earth." Sylvian's rich baritone is given free expressive reign in compositions rich with somber, sienna-toned electronics, forlorn guitars, delicate percussive accents, and basslines stretched tight across parched gulches. Immerse yourself.

LOVE IS HELL includes the EPs LOVE IS HELL PART 1 and PART 2, available together on 1 CD.
Personnel: Ryan Adams (vocals, guitar, piano); Greg Leisz, Johnny McNabb (guitar); Jon Cleary (10-string guitar, piano, Wurlitzer piano); Ruth Gotlieb (violin); Sarah Wilson (cello); Joe McGinty (piano); Ian McLagan (Wurlitzer piano, Hammond b-3 organ); Johnny Pisano, Hutch Hutchinson (bass guitar); Ricky Fataar, Paul Garisto (drums); Marianne Faithfull, Julie Delgado, Debra Parson (background vocals).
Recording information: Piety Street Studios, New Orleans, Lousiana; Cello Studios, Hollywood, California; Globe Studios, New York, New York.
The confusing, complex saga of LOVE IS HELL--initially rejected by the label, then begrudgingly issued as two EPs before it finally saw the light of day as a full album--would be justan interesting footnote if not for the shockingly high quality of the material itself. In between his incarnations as alt-country troubadour and Strokes-friendly garage-rocker, Ryan Adams turned out what just might be the best record of his career. A beautiful, bittersweet journey through heartbreak, it's a ballad-heavy album that bears echoes of Jeff Buckley and Britpop acts from the Smiths to Coldplay. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Smiths producer John Porter is on hand to assist the formerly earthy Americana artist in his transition to fragile, melodic, Anglo-adoring balladeer. While the original EPs were weighty documents in and of themselves, LOVE IS HELL's full-length version bears an even greater emotional impact, as the mood is allowed to establish itself gradually and dramatically, pulling the listener into a very personal world of gorgeously observed romantic tragedy.

Producers include: Mitchell Froom, Kevin Killen, Donal Lunny, Paddy Moloney, Rob Wasserman.
Recorded between 1990 & 1991. Originally released on Warner Brothers (26575). Includes liner notes by Elvis Costello.
By the early '90s, Elvis Costello had forgotten more about songcraft and record production than most musicians would ever learn, earning him titles like "modern-day Gershwin." MIGHTY LIKE A ROSE is where he starts showing off his smarts. It's far and away Elvis' most elaborate effort, both in terms of composition and arrangement, making his collaboration with the Brodsky Quartet sound like a Ramones album. Aided by Mitchell Froom and innovative guitarist Marc Ribot, Costello turns out arty, harmonically sophisticated tunes that never go where you expect them to, either musically or lyrically. Ironically, it's the simplest tunes on what could fairly be called Costello's SERGEANT PEPPER that make the most impact, like the very Leonard Cohen-ish "After the Fall" and the elegant melancholy of the McCartney collaboration "So Like Candy."

BODY AND SOUL expands on the cosmopolitan, Gershwinesque pop sound of its predecessor NIGHT AND DAY. The Latin element is removed in favor of a sound that's equal parts Brill Building and Tin Pan Alley, and the arrangements are more ambitious and orchestral. For the first time since JUMPIN' JIVE, Jackson works a horn section. The horns and Vinnie Zummo's jazzy guitar help take the sound to a new plateau.
For an album this far from rock & roll, BODY AND SOUL is the most unabashedly poppy effort of Jackson's career up to that point. With Ellen Foley chiming in on backing vocals, tuneslike "Happy Ending" could have come from a contemporary Broadway musical. At the same time, the ambitious, almost-instrumental "Heart of Ice" is a sophisticated composition that merges jazz and artsong seamlessly. And as the touching "Be My Number Two" proves, Jackson still had a way with a simple melody and a heartfelt lyric.

Remember that rushyou got from hearing Robin, Rick and the boys tear into "I Want You To Want Me" from Cheap Trick's original LIVE AT BUDOKAN album? Their ballsy but breathlessly effervescent power pop was the very essence of summertime in late-'70s America, rock and roll in its purest form. You don't remember? Okay, well, maybe your mom does, then. In either case, you'll be pleased to discover that the entire Budokan concert is now available for your edification. With nine extra tracks that stretch this recording out to two discs, the rock and roll magic that was Cheap Trick in their heyday is both reiterated and further illuminated. If you're an old fan, you'll want to hear the rest of the story. If you're a newcomer, this is the place to begin.

Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant (vocals); Jimmy Page (guitar); John Paul Jones (keyboards, bass); John Bonham (drums).
Recorded at Los Angeles Forum, Los Angeles, California and Long Beach Area, Long Beach, California on June 25 & 27, 1972.
In the course of putting together the live Led Zeppelin DVD for 2003 release, Jimmy Page came across some great concert recordings from the band's 1972 stint in California. HOW THE WEST WAS WON is three discs' worth of vintage Zep, far superior to the band's only other live album THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME. Here is the fearsome foursome in all their glory and fury, coming off like crazed rock & roll Vikings on the opening "Immigrant Song," reinventing the blues form on "Heartbreaker," and just plain rocking the doors off the joint on "Rock and Roll" and "Black Dog."
This being 1972, the band had made its journey into the folk-rock realm as well, and come outwith the touching "Going to California" and "That's the Way," the earthy "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp," and the minstrel-in-the-hills fancy of "Over the Hills and Far Away," all of which are given strong voice here. A 25-minute "Dazed and Confused" and epic-length drum solo on the John Bonham feature "Moby Dick" show that Zep was unafraid to venture into anything they damn well pleased, but the bluesy grit and primal hard-rock crunch of their feel throughout this collection reveals the pure visceral magic of which these '70s icons were capable.

None of Rod Stewart's many self re-inventions has been half-hearted, least of all the full-fledged adoption of the full-on electric rock of 1975's ATLANTIC CROSSING. This album saw Stewart moving past the folk and blues of some of his past work, trading it in for some brash saxophones and jumpy R&B-tinged rhythms. AC features a host of well-known Yank studio cats, including guitarist Steve Cropper (whose contribution was also compositional), producerTom Dowd, and the Memphis Horns, who all lend an able hand in helping Stewart leave his UK roots behind.
The transition at the heart of ATLANTIC CROSSING was a radical musical departure. "Three Time Loser" is a slick rock number, filled with ripping leads, saxophones, and explicit sexual subject matter. From the reggae groove of "Alright For An Hour" to the softer "Slow Half," which features Stewart's version of Crazy Horse's "I Don't Want To Talk About It," ATLANTIC CROSSING catches Rod Stewart as he jumps headlong into another style, one of many directional changes in his ever-continuing journey into legend.

Black Flag: Keith Morris, Chavo Pederast, Dez Cadena (vocals); Greg Ginn (guitar); Chuck Dukowski (bass); Robo (drums).
Engineers include: Spot, Dave Tarling, Geza X.
Principally recorded at Media Art Studio, Hermosa Beach, California. Includes liner notes by Spot.
EVERYTHING WENT BLACK was originally released as a stop-gap during a protracted legal skirmish with SST's former distributor, Unicorn Records, which temporarily barred Black Flag from using its own name. As a result, the original two-LP vinyl edition featured only the bandmembers' names for identification.
Featuring live tracks and studio outtakes recorded between 1978 and 1981 with singers KeithMorris (later of the Circle Jerks), Chavo and Dez Cadena, EVERYTHING WENT BLACK is something of a hodgepodge, with several songs repeated by different lineups. Despite its patchwork nature, it's a surprisingly solid and illuminating overview of the band's pre-Rollins years, as they slowly progressed from sloppy Dictators-like goofiness into more streamlined and serious proto-hardcore. The highlight, however, is "Crass Commercialism," a side-long suite of radio ads for Black Flag shows that's a fascinating and often hilarious audio souvenir of the halcyon days of early West Coast punk.

Producers: MichaelBeinhorn, Marilyn Manson, Sean Beavan.
"The Dope Show" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.
Approaching the new millennium, Marilyn Manson shows himself to be standing squarely at the crossroads of the past and future of popular music. MECHANICAL ANIMALS takes the crunch and shock of '70s glam rock and mates it with the automated pings and electronic sheen of artists such as the Dust Brothers and Danny Saber (who both appear on this album). Manson's knack for going light years beyond Alice Cooper's brand of shock rock starts with the packaging itself. On it, the freaky Floridian appears as an asexual being with flaming red eyes and hair (whose appearance is not unlike a cross between David Bowie's Aladdin Sane and Diamond Dogs characters).
The music itself not only assaults the senses but a variety of targets as well. Naturally enough, the Religious Right is a convenient whipping boy ("Rock Is Dead"), as are back-stabbers ("Speed Of Pain") and the beast that is the media ("New Model No. 15," "The Dope Show"). When Manson isn't smashing you in the mouth with a crashing wall of guitars and new wavey synths, his instincts lead him into late-Floydian nihilism ("The Speed Of Pain") and hi-NRG ditties tailor-made for an imaginary sci-fi disco ("Posthuman," "I Want To Disappear").

Producers: Timbaland, Craig Brockman, Naan, D-Man, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott.
"Get Ur Freak On" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance.
"Scream a.k.a Itchin'" won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Female Rap Solo Performance.
SO ADDICTIVE finds Missy Elliott proving herself a woman to be reckoned with, particularly plainspoken in carnal matters. On "Dog in Heat," where she's joined by Method Man and Redman, Elliott delivers a forceful but low-key rap over little more than funky bass and drums, striking an arch-sexiness-plus-groovy-minimalism approach reminiscentof mid-period Prince. "One Minute Man" finds the fiesty femme issuing a sexual challenge over a track whose visceral sensuality provides incentive enough to enter into the gambit.
Nevertheless, the rapper proves herself to be more than a sexual cartoon by varying her lyrical and thematic approach. On the percolating "Old School Joint," for example, Missy takes a conventional relationship stance worthy of the song's title, advising her suitor that it's best to "get to know each other" and be friends before becoming lovers. It's this juxtaposition of mindsets that keeps SO ADDICTIVE interesting. On the sonic side, the stop-time sample around which "Step Off" is built bears a distinct Latin flavor, and the infectious, propulsive rhythms of "Whatcha Gon' Do" bear witness to producer Timbaland's knack for nailing a distinctive, memorable sound with a minimum of fuss.
