Alternative NRG: Greenpeace Compilation

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 01, 1994
I bought this CD specifically for the whole acoustic version of James' "Ring the Bells", only a portion of which was in the intro of the DPO episode of the X-files. It's a haunting version, which alone is worth the price of the CD. The other songs I really don't intend to listen to.

Kiss My Ass: Classic Kiss Regrooved

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 21, 1994
Another tribute...another mixed bag. This one starts off strong with Lenny Kravitz doing "Deuce" with Stevie Wonder on harp followed by a surprisingly good version of "Hard Luck Woman" by Garth Brooks which sounds an awful lot like "You Wear It Well" by Rod Stewart. The next three songs are also strong with Anthrax doing a real rocking version of "She", one of my favorite guilty pleasures "Christine Sixteen" is nicely covered by the Gin Blossoms and Toad The Wet Sprocket doing a very laid version of "Rock and Roll All Nite" that needs to be heard to be believed. Then this tribute takes a nosedive with mediocre performances by Shandi's Addiction, Dinosaur Jr., Extreme and The Lemonheads. Then it makes a nice comeback with "Detroit Rock City" by the ...

The World of the Zombies

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 31, 1994
Tribute CDs are often a mixed bag, and this one's no exception. "World of the Zombies" is a powerpop tribute to one of the most talented but, until recently, most overlooked bands of the '60s. The idea, then, of popularizing their songs through 90s powerpop reinterpretations is a promising one.

Unfortunately, the product is merely "OK." The Posies are excellent as usual, and several other tracks are pleasant standouts, but others--including limp re-readings of "Girl Help Me" (one of my favorite Zombies songs!) and "She's Not There"--don't really go anywhere.

All in all, an OK purchase, but somewhat pointless now that the Zombies have been so...critically rehabilitated, perhaps? Whatever ... Read More:

History of Portland Punk, Vol. 1

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

Release Date December 26, 2000
Punk rock in the 70's was a backlash against the effete swill that the corporate music industtry was spoon-feeding to the public. The punk scene in Portland was about self-expression rather than style; it was non-commercial and completely unpretentious."The History of Portland Punk vol.1" captures the essence of Portland's underground music scene in the 1970's. I have sentimental reasons for recommending this CD. In the late 70's I shared a house in Portland, Oregon with Bob Glassily and John French of the Rubbers. I hung out with many of the musicians featured on this album. Listening to this CD for the first time brought back memories of half-forgotten friends and rainy Portland nights. I could almost smell the clove cigarettes and stale beer.

Entertainment Weekly: The Greatest Hits 1986

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 07, 2000
So-so collection from the year 1986 mixing gems like Timbuk 3's deeply cynical and scathing "The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades," Howard Jones' pensive "No One is To Blame," Eddie Money's comeback hit "Take Me Home Tonight" (rendered immeasurably essential thanks to the explosive vocals of Ronnie Spector) and The Dream Academy's wispy "Life in a Northern Town," with really lame cuts like Starship's "Sara," Glass Tiger's "Don't Forget Me," Mr. Mister's "Kyrie," Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" and Falco's gimmicky "Rock Me Amadeus." Missing from this collection are Steve Winwood's "Higher Love," Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer," Pet Shop Boys' "West End Girls," and Human League's "Human" (each of which was a #1 single in 1986). As a result the dross ... Read More:

The Very Best of Punk & Disorderly

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 05, 2004
Oi, this is one of the best 80's punk comp's you can get. 40 songs and one bad quality video. Don't buy this for the bonus video of Peter and the Test tubes. Quality on that is bad and it's running off old cd/vid program to make matters worse! Anyways on to the actual album. Has so many great bands from the Violators to Action Pact! UK Subs to Vice Squad to The Dark!!!! This is the best of a three series called Punk and Disorderly from I believe 81-83. Highly recommend one picks up those too! VL 3 is overall the best of what England had to offer while some of the other volumes have american and sub par brit bands. This cd more or less has almost all of those 3 sets but, in a random chaotic order thats not as well laid out as the orgional lps. Lucky for you if ... Read More:
