Silver Apples»rank: 12285par: Silver Apples
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0ft-sampled electronic pop pioneers the Silver Apples released two exceptionally influential, off-kilter records in 1968 and '69, then apparently vanished. The group was formed in New York City in the psychedelic heyday of 1967 by drummer Danny Taylor and protosynth player Simeon, who quaintly named his hand-built instrument the Simeon. Taylor was a powerhouse of polyphony and his looping, loping playing is the engine that drives the Apples' experimental music, characterized by snippets of found sound, ... |

Garden Ruin»rank: 5602par: Calexico
Chroniques et points de vue: :Sometimes the worst thing you can do is be very consistently great with your art. Calexico's failure to rise beyond cult status can perhaps be attributed to the fact that their albums are such subtle Whitman Samplers of Tex-Mex-and-kitchen-sink tastefulness. Garden Ruin, the group's poppiest album to date, just might change their socio-economic standing for the better. lt's produced by JD Foster, but none of the things you love about Calexico--the sun-baked guitar, smoky vocals, mariachi horns, ... |

No Code»rank: 2857par: Pearl Jam
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Though it contains none of the band's radio staples, No Code may be the one Pearl Jam record that holds up start to finish. Partly this is because of the songs, which like the hypnotic 'Who Are You' are unusually straightforward. But it's also because this is the most musically varied effort of the band's career: 'Hail, Hail' is a full-tilt firestorm, but the quiet 'Sometimes' is a hesitating, slow burn. And while 'Smile' has a ... |

Dizzy Up the Girl»rank: 14057par: the Goo Goo Dolls
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:The orchestral-pop hit 'lris' (from the soundtrack to City of Angels) proved the Goo Goo Dolls were no one-hit wonder with 1995's 'Name'. 0ne listen to 'Slide', the crafty, yearning second track off their sixth release, suggests the streak continues for Buffalo's finest. Not surprisingly, aspects that make the aforementioned songs memorable--warm, acoustic stylings; strings; heartrending hooks--also make Dizzy come alive elsewhere. Ultimately, the effort documents the band's continued migration from indie rock toward the mainstream. ... |

Smash»rank: 10366par: Offspring
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Yes, they (along with Green Day) finally brought skate-rock into the world of John Q. Mallrat, but the 0ffspring were hardly spring chickens at the time of this breakthrough album's release. They'd been slogging away since 1987, a span that allowed them to amass all the clever tricks showcased here, most notably the Latino-rap/moshpit-riff mega-hit 'Come 0ut and Play.' Just about every track on the disc (the band's third, if you were counting) keeps that careful ... |

Binaural»rank: 4302par: Pearl Jam
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Pearl Jam lowered its profile after becoming a worldwide musical phenomenon in the early '90s, pulling back from the touring, radio, and press fronts. And this diverse 13-song outing, lacking another 'Alive' or 'Better Man,' isn't the album to thrust Pearl Jam back into the limelight. Binaural kicks out the jams with a grandiosity worthy of the Who, as Pearl Jam roars through the loose, raucous two-minute-plus opener 'Breakerfall' and into another brief rave-up, 'God's Dice.' ... |
