Pere Ubu: Tom Herman, Scott Krauss, Tony Maimone, Allen Ravenstine, David Thomas (vocals, various instruments). It is hard to believe that such noises could come from so deep in America's heartl&, played by a group named after a French absurdist play. The debut album by Pere Ubu, The Modern Dance is the realization of group leader David Thomas's (a.k.a. Crocus Behemoth) high-concept vision of a rock band whose sound was always just on the verge of falling apart. Avant garde & not terribly ...

Out with the old, in with the new: this familiar adage can well apply to what happened to so-called Old Roman chant when the Babylonian Captivity of the Papacy got underway in 1305; the seat of the Holy Roman Empire moved from Rome to Avignon for a period of 72 years. During this time, a reform in clerical singing that had been making its leisurely way over a period of two centuries was ramped up in intensity; the Gregorian style of chant singing -- which stressed uniformity & was a hybrid of ...

While they were seriously accomplished experimental musicians in their '60s heyday, Perrey & Kingsley sure could come off like a couple of goofballs. They spent hours of time & miles of tape meticulously crafting space-age mod-pop out of looped tones, blips & bleeps, & their beloved Ondioline--an odd vibrato-producing proto-synth. Yet the often hilarious results belie their arduous creative process. Still, given that the Beastie Boys, Air, Stereolab, & Beck pushed many a unit with nods ...

As a title, Bilingual is a double-edged sword. Disregard its sexual connotations & concentrate on its musical implications -- Bilingual is a rich, diverse album that delves deeply into Latin rhythms. It's not a crass, simplistic fusion, where the polyphonic rhythms are simply grafted over synthesizers & a disco pulse. Instead, Bilingual is an enormously subtle album, with shifting rhythms & graceful, understated melodies. The music isn't the only thing subtle about the album -- Neil Tennan ...

Most of the Pet Shop Boys' albums are well-crafted & thoroughly intriguing in their own right, but dance-pop is a medium that is driven by hit singles. Discography collects all the duo's numerous hit singles, including a handful of non-album tracks, in their original 7" single mix, which occasionally varies from the album version, particularly in the case of the Introspective material. Presented chronologically, the singles not only demonstrate the band's increasing musical sophistication, the ...

Featuring a mere six tracks, most of them well over six minutes in length, Introspective was a move back to the clubs for the Pet Shop Boys. Over the course of the album, they incorporated various dance techniques that were currently in vogue, including Latin rhythms & house textures. The title isn't entirely an arch joke, however. Like Actually, Introspective was an exploration of distant, disaffected yuppies, which naturally resulted in a good deal of self-analyzation. Melodically, the essen ...

Pestilence - Resurrection Macabre

In the mid-'80s, thrash metal had its "Big Four" bands -- three from California (Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer) and New York's Anthrax. In the early '90s, technical death metal's Big Four were three Florida acts -- Death, Atheist, and Cynic -- and Pestilence, from the Netherlands. The band released four albums that charted an increasingly progressive and even jazzy trip from metal out into deep space, culminating with the controversial, keyboard-dominated Spheres. The current lineup of Pestile
