 Smoke Soundtrack Reviews @ Movie Music . com
This album mostly presents the songs heard in the film, either music that the characters listen to or that is played as an adjunct to on-screen situations.
The most publicized contribution to this album were the two tracks performed by Jerry Garcia's band, recorded just before his death.
Given that Portman's albums are usually criticized for their repetition, these short excerpts are perhaps the best way to experience her scores on record.

 Untitled Document
Doubtless this influenced the fact that "No Smoke" received little press coverage on its release, as well as the fact that it had a low showing in the UK album charts, peaking at number 43.
In spite of this, the 22-date UK tour to promote the album was a huge success, with every venue sold out, proving that Wishbone Ash live were still a major draw.
The album's opening track, "You See Red", written by Laurie Wisefield, was released as a single in September 1978, prior to the release of the album.

 CD Baby: SMOKE: Heaven On A Popsicle Stick
Another Reason To Fast, the sophmore album by Atlanta's Smoke, is positively drenched in the three d's of cabaret gloom: dissolution, dissipation, and desperation.
The saying in Atlanta is "Fuck the Olympics, but leave Benjamin alone," and the lead singer of Smoke certainly is the sickliest-looking sex symbol ever to compete for the role of the thinnest man in rock.
Smoke's version of artistic intransigence may not involve any of the generally received notions of the term.

This particular album was released in 97' but has since then been re-released in 2001 in the US as well as Europe again.
Smoke City had ben gaining a strong cult following since "Underwater Love" and the musicians in this group are exceptional - from Nina Miranda to Christian Franck to Marc Brown.
Smoke City's instrumentation is a weird combination of the electronica and organic: we've got beeps, blips and bloops mixed in with an acoustic guitar.

Left Hand Smoke's sophomore album, "So Many Faces," does have a lot of face, with deep soul grroves attached to it.
The album goes in many directions, but at the same tme it retains familiarity throughout.
All in all, this is one of the best albums to come out of Seattle in a long time.

 Amazon.co.uk: Senor Smoke: Music: Electric Six   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The album bursts in to life with Rock And Roll Evacuation, and continues as it means to go on with a great mix of rock, disco funk and electro mayhem.
The album cover also reveals their somewhat classic obsession with robots (the name of their live album recorded at the Gold Dollar in Detroit was named 'Don't Be Afraid of the Robot').
And so although I cannot claim to have heard this album (yet!), the tracks which I have heard will no doubt be more fast and furious than ever, and this album shlould be a must for all fans of the band, and those curious of them.

A fresh new blend of hip-hop straight from the birthplace of it all...nyc; mixes up the flavor with a hint of "spanglish" in his rhymes and brings intellectual and political rawness as well as your party joints to rock with.
After recording many songs as a soloist in nearby Brooklyn, Smoke incorporated some of his neighborhood friends into some studio sessions and slowly the group decided on pursuing a record deal together and called themselves the S.P.I.K. Clik (Spanish People In Kontrol).
Now a major record selling force to be reckoned with, Smoke feels nothing can stop him in 2002 and with a masterfully perfected style like "Spanglish" under his belt there is no reason he can't reach the masses and maybe enlighten while entertaining a little bit, too.

 Stephen Smoke: Trick of the Light
Stephen Smoke has been working as a novelist since the '70s, writing psychological thrillers mainly.
The album was meant to be promoted in tandem with Smoke's 1989 book with the same title, but the album never got national or international distribution.
The album was recorded at Trax Studios, Hollywood, CA and Camp David Studios, Thousand Oaks, CA, and released on cassette tape on the Bigwig Records label.

 Sweet Smoke
For more detailed info on the band and their history and reviews of the albums, visit Thibault Ducray's excellent Unofficial Sweet Smoke Web page which is half in French and half in English.
Throughout all the years the band lived in Europe, Sweet Smoke was a loving family of musicians and friends on a spiritual search for a state of musical expression where the ego lets go and the imagination plays with joy and spontaneity.
The background of the cover is the cover of the original live album, and there is a caricature of the musicians.

 Smoke: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
Copies of Smoke's self-titled album are highly valued by collectors of West Coast soft rock and psychedelic music.
The album certainly deserves its reputation as one of the masterpieces of 1968.
It opens with the organ-driven "Cowboys and Indians," which was producer/songwriter Michael Lloyd's personal homage to Brian Wilson's "Heroes and Villains" and lyrically makes mention of war (obviously the Vietnam war was very much on everyone's minds at the time).

 SWEET SMOKE Just A Poke reviews and MP3
This album is essentially 2 long epic tracks oscillating between blues, jazz, rock, funk and psychedelia.
This album consists of only two side length cuts with Andy Dershin on bass, Jay Dorfman on drums and percussion, Marvin Kaminowitz on vocals and guitar, Michael Paris on saxes, flute, vocals, and percussion, and Steve Rosenstein on guitar on vocals.
But strangely, another album from SWEET SMOKE wouldn't surface until 1973, and that album would be "Darkness to Light" and they were recording for Harvest Records by that time (and a lineup change).

 SWEET SMOKE Darkness To Light reviews and MP3
The album is filled with Hippie/Indian ideology too much and listening to it 30 years after sounds a bit naive and outdated.
The end result is a raga-like structured album based on 6 songs of which 2 are over 10 mins.
After finding some success in Europe with their first album “Just a poke”, the band expanded from a five piece to seven members and spent some time in India before recording a follow up album.

This 23-track comp of feedback-rich primeval psych-beat is highlighted by their finest moment right up front: "My Friend Jack" hit the U.K. Top 50 in 1967, despite the fact that it was banned by the BBC.
The now out of print 1994 Repertoire CD included their 1967 album plus rare acetates and live tracks; their first single -- 1965's "Keep a Hold of What You Got" b/w "She's a Liar" -- is also sadly missing in action.

The album was manufactured by Gasoline Alley, a division of MCA records.
This is the first Sublime album that has been released since the death of lead singer Bradley Nowell, who died from an accidental heroin overdose.
In fact, the album itself was dedicated to Bradley's son, Jakob James Nowell.

 Progressive Ears Album Reviews
The keyboard/synth playing on this album is excellent; soundwise, Shingler uses the gamut of analog to synthetic sounds--perhaps to make up for the fact that the album sound palette consists entirely of keyboards, sampling and drum machine.
My only real compliant about this album is the use of canned drums.
For all of this, however, this album shows some inventive and fresh compositions.

 BLABBERMOUTH.NET - IAN GILLAN: Sample Of 'Smoke On The Water' From Upcoming Solo Album Available
An MP3 sample of "Smoke on the Water", taken from DEEP PURPLE frontman Ian Gillan's upcoming album "Gillan's Inn" — a celebration of Ian's 40th year on the road, featuring remakes of tracks spanning Ian's entire career — has been made available for download at this location.
In a recent interview with Rockdetector.com, Gillan spoke about the "Smoke on the Water" remake that appears on the upcoming CD: "'Smoke on the Water' is a big, big part of my history and a big part of why I'm here and able to do what I do," he said.
So, what I did with 'Smoke on the Water' was to treat it respectfully, it's a fairly regular version, but use it as a showcase for some of the guitarists to work with.

 The Electric Six: Senor Smoke - PopMatters Music Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
If you avoid listening to the lyrics, Senor Smoke is a hilarious dance-punk riff where pristine recording techniques are used to capture the sound of the cheapest keyboards available.
And, even then, it’s only funny if you give the band the benefit of the doubt and assume that it means it as a satire on the onslaught of politically naÔve rock and rollers who have gone on to record anti-Bush chants.
At the other end of the album, the closer “Future Is the Future” starts with a galloping, impossibly upbeat Stock-Aitken-Waterman homage, before devolving into a Killers/Bravery parody, a clever move that links these “hip” bands with brainless ‘80s dance music.

The album failed to "break" dnc to a nationwide audience, but it did "break" them with Island and with guitarist Buren Fowler.
Granted, this album may take a few listens to appreciate, but it is well worth the patience.
Lead singer and songwriter Kevn Kinney has dismissed Smoke as too riff happy, and says he wrote the words to fit the riffs instead of the other way around, but it's still a classic album from one of rock's most underrated bands.

 HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM | REVIEWS | Electric Six - Senor Smoke album review
Yeah, yeah, yeah, say what you want about their being a one trick pony that can only spit out ridiculously catchy, guitar and synth driven dance tunes that will make you laugh while you're shaking it on the dance floor or driving way too fast.
Señor Smoke was actually released in the UK in February of 2005, but the band only recently signed with a label that agreed to release it here in the States.
The good news is that if you liked Fire, you'll probably like Señor Smoke as well, although the overall tone of Señor Smoke is not quite as much of a party as Fire.

Although sonically the album can be quite samey in the use of sounds, it is working with this limited palette that makes the album hang together so well.

 The Music Box: Smoke - Motion Picture Soundtrack (Album Review)
Smoke is a wonderful movie, and its soundtrack is suitably solid.
What makes it stand out from most film-oriented compilations, however, are the two tunes recorded by the Jerry Garcia Band: Cigarettes and Coffee and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.
Unfortunately, the more recent incarnations of the Jerry Garcia Band found its way into the studio far too infrequently, and these selections highlight the greatness that it could have achieved.

 SoundtrackNet : Holy Smoke! Soundtrack
In 1999, Angelo Badalamenti wrote a beautiful score to The Straight Story (and got a Golden Globe Nomination for it), as well as a dark, tense atmospheric score to the thriller Arlington Road.
The film was about a young woman (Winslet) who joins a cult in India, and Keitel played the specialist hired by her family to recondition her.
This album was released by Milan Records while it is enjoyable to listen to, if you can only pick one great Badalamenti score from 1999, it would have to be The Straight Story.
