4. In The Days Of The Caveman
5. Swimming In Your Ocean

11. Two Knights And Maidens
12. Untitled
Every once in a while, you'll hear a band on the radio and immediately know that they will end up being a one hit wonder. Escape Club, for instance. Crash Test Dummies is one of those bands. Their one big hit from their second album, the strangely Titled "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm", introduced rock to the sound of a true bass lead singer, Brad Roberts. They were different, which made them successful, and which made them obsolete very quickly. But this is actually a pretty great album. Every song is an adventure, and even though it got old on the radio, Roberts voice just makes everything sound...smarter. The songs are terrific..."Afternoons & Coffeespons", the title track, and everything else deserved a better fate than it got. Nobody had ever sounded like the Dummies...and no one has since. Thus, a unique band, and one worth hearing.
It didn't help matters that their next album was terrible. But in 1993, these guys were awfully good. The album is still cool today...although it's also long forgotten. [First added to this chart: 04/13/2012]

1993-PYRAMID
VARIOUS PRODUCERS
1. Remedy
2. Blind Willie McTell
3. The Caves Of Jericho
4. Atlantic City
5. Too Soon Gone
6. Country Boy
7. Move To Japan
8. Amazon (River Of Dreams)
9. Stuff You Gotta Watch
10. Same Thing
11. Shine A Light
12. Blues Stay Away From Me
After The Last Waltz, The Band got together again in 1983...but didn't release another studio album for 10 more years. Robbie Robertson was, of course, long gone, as was Richard Manuel, who had committed suicide in 1986. Garth Hudson, Levon Helm, and Rick Danko, along with their regular touring band and a slew of guests, released Jericho, a collection of mostly cover songs. Some are exceptional, and while much of the album is not anywhere near the past glories of the group, the high points are stirring.
"Remedy" is a powerful opener, and their reading of Bruce Springsteen's "Atlantic City" is great. "Too Soon Gone" is dedicated to Manuel, but "Country Boy" one-ups that...it's the last studio vocal recorded by him back in 1985, a year before his death. Positively chilling. After that, the album slowly sinks, but the tribute is moving, and the flashes of brilliance are worthwhile. The Band recorded two more albums before the death of Rick Danko in 1999, when they ended things for good. Jericho is not great, but it's a good document to show where they ended up, and fans of The Band will certainly enjoy it. [First added to this chart: 04/11/2012]

1993 – NETTWERK
Produced By PIERRE MARCHAND
1. Possession
2. Wait
3. Plenty
4. Good Enough
5. Mary
6. Elsewhere
7. Circle
8. Ice
9. Hold On
10. Ice Cream
11. Fear
12. Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
I must start by admitting that I have a big soft spot for Sarah McLachlan. It’s not because she’s beautiful (she is). It’s not because of her almost suicide inducing commercial spots for saving the animals. And it’s not because she’s Canadian. Sarah McLachlan has a rare gift…she understand how to make gentle music without coming across as sappy or over the top (yes…”Angel” is the exception to that rule). Yes, she does occasionally rock it out a little (“Hold On”, which was a hit on this album, for instance). But the best moments of Sarah McLachlan’s career, and the best moments from her third album, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, are those that she approaches with grace. She was already a star in Canada, but this album made her a star everywhere else, and it remains her finest work. “Good Enough” and “Possession” were, along with “Hold On”, hits for McLachlan.
Fumbling Towards Ecstasy contains enough upbeat material to make her big in the States, but it’s ultimately her softer side, as always, that will win you over. She shows off her range on tracks like “Fear”, but her biggest assets are her songwriting skills and her gentle approach to her singing. And that she is able to do it without pushing herself over the edge of becoming boring is exceptional. She has managed varying degrees of success over her career, but Fumbling Towards Ecstasy remains her gem. This is a solid yet fragile collection of sometimes perfect, sometimes not so much performances, but the important thing here is that you do get a healthy does of what makes her such a special talent. She’s made six records since this one, each one very good…but it’s Fumbling Towards Ecstasy that remains her best work. [First added to this chart: 03/28/2019]
