R.E.M. - Around The
Sun
£6.49
R.E.M.: Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck. Additional personnel: Ken Stringfellow, Q-Tip, Scott Mc Caughey, Bill Rieflin, Jamie Candiloro, Hahn Rowe. The follow-up to 2001's laid-back REVEAL, AROUND THE SUN finds R.E.M. mining a similar vein of dreamy, mellow rock. " Leaving New York" sets the tone with Peter Buck's chiming guitar & Michael Stipe's plaintive vocals at the fore, while " Electron Blue" continues the band's occasional forays into electronic territory with keyboard-driven ...

R.E.M. - Automatic For
The People
£7.49
AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE is a classic of "alternative" rock. Released soon after OUT OF TIME, it shows R.E.M. on a creative roll with no shortage of original ideas. Bold songs such as ominous " Drive" & the empathetic " Everybody Hurts" demonstrated that the band were not reluctant to experiment, while the Karl Denver opening on " The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite" & the elegiac Andy Kaufman tribute " Man On The Moon" were as good as anything they had ever recorded. ...

R.E.M. - Fables of the Re-Construction (EMI Canada)
R.E.M. - Fables Of
The Re-Construction
(EMI Canada)
£7.99
For their third album, R.E.M. made a conscious effort to break from the traditions Murmur & Reckoning established, electing to record in England with legendary folk-rock producer Joe Boyd. For a variety of reasons, the sessions were difficult, & that tension is apparent throughout Fables of the Reconstruction. A dark, moody rumination on American folk -- not only the music, but its myths -- Fables is creepy, rustic psychedelic folk, filled with eerie sonic textures. Some light breaks through ...

R.E.M. - Green
R.E.M. - Green
£5.99
On their sixth studio album, R.E.M. dares to think positive. Songs like " St&, Get Up, World Leader Pretend" & " The Wrong Child" are a continuation of the upbeat call to arms sounded on Document's " Finest Worksong.". Green catapulted R.E.M. from campus cult favourites to rock stars of the highest order. The album contains three of the Athens, Georgia, quartet's most popular radio hits (" Pop Song 89, St&, & Orange Crush"), punching up the big rock hooks. ...

R.E.M. - Live At The
Olympia (2CD)
£6.99
This is not a show, murmurs Michael Stipe at the start of Live at the Olympia & it's not quite misdirection. R.E.M.'s five-night residency at Dublin's { Olympia in the summer of 2007 functioned as working rehearsals for their fourteenth album Accelerate, with the band testing out each of the songs, exploring arrangements, finding breaking points, & pairing them with older songs that informed their back-to-basics move. As rehearsal, it paid off splendidly -- road-testing the material made it ...

R.E.M. - Murmur
£6.49
R.E.M.: Michael Stipe (vocals); Peter Buck (guitar); Michael Mills (bass, background vocals); Bill Berry (drums). Additional personnel: Jefferson Holt, Bertis Downs. Recorded at Reflection, Charlotte, North Carolina in January 1983. R.E.M.'s full-length debut is a landmark album that set the standard for the next 10 years of indie rock. The Athens quartet combined Byrdsy, folk-rock guitar jangle with obscurantist lyrics & a post-punk compositional sensibility to create a vibrant new sound that ...

R.E.M. - New
Adventures In Hi-Fi
£4.49
New Adventures is a snapshots-from-the-road record in the tradition of Neil Young's Time Fades Away & Jackson Browne's Running on Empty. Like them, it captures a where-am-I-&-why ambience, even with its concert & sound-check material reworked in post-tour sessions. This is very much a transitional album, its feel somewhere between the chamber-folk sweep of Out of Time & Automatic for the People & the distortion-pedal party that raged on Monster. It's the work of a band pretty near its ...

R.E.M. - Out Of Time
£6.49
Before Nirvana's NEVERMIND closed out the year with the unexpected commercial triumph of grunge rock, R.E.M.'s OUT OF TIME was the sound of alternative music circa 1991. The smash singles " Losing My Religion"--perhaps the only Top Five US single ever to feature the mandolin as its lead instrument--and " Shiny Happy People" were the commercial face of the album. Elsewhere, however, R.E.M. makes a point of moving away from expectations, resulting in intriguing experiments like the surprisingly funk ...

Racer X - Getting
Heavier
£21.49
There was a period in the late '80s where rock guitar was headed in a highly technical direction, where you'd have to practice on your instrument for hours upon hours to keep up with the players in your latest edition of Guitar for the Practicing Musician. One of the best examples of this was Racer X, which included not one but two "shredders": Paul Gilbert & Bruce Bouillet. However, by 1989 the group was kaput when Gilbert decided to jump ship & join up with bass extraordinaire Billy Sheeh ...
