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. - 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

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 and Bruce Bouillet. However, by 1989 the group was kaput when Gilbert decided to jump ship and join up with bass extraordinaire Billy Sheeh
