1991 – PARLOPHONE
Produced By PASCAL GABRIEL & RALPH JEZZARD

1. Children
2. Long Summer Days
3. When You’re Mine
4. Travelling Not Running
5. I Believe
6. Unbelievable
7. Girl Of An Age
8. Admit It
9. Lies
10. Longtime
11. EMF

Here’s the EMF formula for instant success. Take a high energy British rock band, throw in some scratching, add a heavy, heavy dose of Andrew Dice Clay samples, and a lead singer who sounds twelve-ish. And there you have one of the strangest and catchiest singles of 1991, EMF’s “Unbelievable”. This song, and Clay’s trademark “OH!”, were everywhere, and it seemed that EMF was destined for a long and fruitful career. Oh, but the gods of the one-hit wonder world work in mysterious ways, and as soon as the song slipped from the charts, EMF faded quickly into history. Actually, four singles from Schubert Dip charted in America, but they are remembered only for the one song. They’ve broken up and regrouped many times, but only made 3 albums, the last in 1995. Such is the strangeness of the 90’s band that utilizes the Clay man to gain a hit record.

“Unbelievable” is a great song, and while nothing else on the album comes close to its catchiness, it’s really not a bad record. What they lack in consistent songwriting, they make up for in pure energy and exuberance. “I Believe”, “Children”, and “Lies” are the better tracks, and “Girl Of An Age” is cool, and even has a spoken intro by Bert and Ernie. “Lies” originally included Mark David Chapman reciting the lyrics to John Lennon’s “Watching The Wheels”, which was quickly removed at Yoko Ono’s request. The album is actually easy to listen to, and keeps the energy going all the way through. Too bad they didn’t have the magic of “Unbelievable” more than once. EMF could have been a fun band to follow through the 90’s, rather than just a curiosity remembered for just one song. But Schubert Dip is really not bad at all. Worth a spin or two.

1995-TOO PURE
Produced By LAIKA

1. Sugar Daddy
2. Marimba Song
3. Let Me Sleep
4. Itchy & Scratchy
5. Coming Down Glass
6. If You Miss
7. 44 Robbers
8. Red River
9. Honey In Heat
10. Thomas
11. Spider Happy Hour

Named after the first animal in space (a Russian dog), Laika was known in the 90’s as “The Best Band You’ve Never Heard Of”. And for good reason. This band has elements of electronic with sweet dreamy female vocals, but there are also many other elements happening in their music: guitars, samples, horns, woodwinds…and it all seems to work extremely well. They balance the edges of electronic with the edges of pop as expertly as anyone ever has, making this a truly cool band. Silver Apples Of The Moon is their debut, and a fine one at that.

Led by Margaret Fiedler (who was once in Ultra Vivid Scene, Moonchild, and a collaborator with Moby) and Guy Fixsen, Laika made four albums. This one has no hits, but as an entire piece stands as a fascinating work. It’s very much a mood album, but not a snoozy one. It may take a listen or two, but once you’re hooked, this might end up being one of your favorite bands. Not electronic like Deadmau5 or the like…it’s much closer to rock & pop than it is to rave music.

2009 – LIGHTNING ROD
Produced By MATT PENCE & JASON ISBELL

1. Seven Mile Island
2. Sunstroke
3. Good
4. Cigarettes And Wine
5. However Long
6. Coda
7. The Blue
8. No Choice In The Matter
9. Soldiers Get Strange
10. Streetlights
11. The Last Song I Will Write

The second solo album from former Drive By Truckers member Jason Isbell is a natural progression from his first. It’s better, but it’s not quite at the level of excellence we’ve grown accustomed to hearing from him. His growth as a songwriter from his debut, Sirens Of The Ditch, is pretty large, but he still had a ways to go…pretty scary, given how good this record is. On this, he introduces his band, the 400 unit, for the first time, and becomes a better story teller with each passing song. Everything here is very good, but there are two tracks where he shows how much better he would be. “The Blue” is a lovely piece of writing, but it’s the stunning “Cigarettes And Wine” where he really breaks through. It’s a slow and sprawling love story with the requisite country unhappy ending, and Isbell delivers it like only he can. These two songs carry the album, but the rest is also well worth the time.

He’s still rocking more here than he does these days…”Good” would have made a great Truckers tune, and “However Long” rocks just fine as well. But even here, Isbell is proving that his better songs are the ones that favor lyrics and melody over rocking out, a lesson that thankfully isn’t lost on the artist. His next three albums, Here We Rest, Southeastern, and Something More Than Free, follow the course of the best songs on this album, while leaving his more rocking past in the wind…and it’s made for what is so far an exceptional career. This album is not Isbell’s best work by a long shot, but it’s still a fine album, and an important step in his career trajectory. Worthwhile for its two best songs alone, but also worthwhile because it is Jason Isbell, who has turned into one of the most talented and important voices in Southern music today. Not perfect by any means, but this album most definitely is not bad at all.

1993-HIGHTONE
Produced By SCOTT MATHEWS & DICK DALE

1. Nitro
2. The New Victor
3. Esperanza
4. Shredded Heat
5. Trail Of Tears
6. Caravan
7. The Eliminator
8. Speardance
9. Hot Links
10. The Long Ride
11. Tribal Thunder

Dick Dale is easily the most underappreciated guitarist in the history of rock. Between the time of Buddy Holly's death and the arrival of The Beatles, Dick Dale was rock's only new shining light. He's only gotten better...and he was always good. Tribal Thunder is only his 6th studio album, and his first since 1964. In the true King Of The Surf Guitar fashion, this is all instrumental. Does it sound like a guy who made his name in the early 60's? Not at all...he could stand up straight with this next to the guitar heroes of the day like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. Without all of the tapping. This is extraordinary stuff, but there does come a point where you'd like him to stop soloing for even a minute and let the band stretch out a bit. Otherwise, this is a master at work.

Dale has been at it now for 50 years. He should be much better known than he is...maybe someday he will truly get his due. But no mistake about it...this dude can flat out play.

1971-MOTOWN
Produced By MARVIN GAYE

1. What's Going On
2. What's Happening Brother
3. Flyin' High (In The Friendly Sky)
4. Save The Children
5. God Is Love
6. Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)
7. Right On
8. Wholy Holy
9. Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)

When, exactly, did Motown hit it's absolutely highest point? Right here. What's going On is not only Marvin Gaye's greatest album, but it's also maybe the greatest Motown album ever released, and maybe the greatest R&B album as well. This album is a non stop song cycle, breathtakingly played and sung, and it has something to say as well. Gaye talks about life in the inner cities, troubled youth, everything else that was important in 1971. And the songs are first rate. The title track is still huge to this day, but also excellent are "Mercy Mercy Me" and "Inner City Blues".

After this album, Gaye moved permanently into his sexy beast phase with Let's Get It On. But he was never better than he was here. This is an easy call...one of the best albums ever made.
