  Tangents fun'n'frenzy filled web site.
At thirty six tracks and not a duffer amongst them, Acuarela Songs 2 seems to already have the Tangents 'compilation of the year' award for 2003 in the bag.
It's not all what you might expect of your classic folk singer-songwriter either, because Weeks throws Moogs, Mellotrons, harmoniums and eerie string arrangements into the mix, emerging with a kind of somnambulist psych-folk that's all just a little unhinged.
But it has to be said that this Haiku album by Songdog does remind me of Bright Eyes.

 Tiny Mix Tapes
Keep all elements in mind: originality, execution, musicianship, history, etc. Once the review has been written, the album is either placed on a shelf to disappear permanently or it will find a place in the stack of favorites.
While the album may be a year old already (it was released in Japan last year), OOIOO continues with their multicolored and fragmented sounds in the same fashion as we've previously heard.
These tangents start the album off in an unneeded way, but actually become a little more fluid during the second half of the album.

 the loud bassoon online zine - records: madonna - ray of light
Lyrically, the album is full of hope, but tempered with some contemplation and a lot of depth – meditations on fame, motherhood, love, and the personal quest for real identity beyond a projected persona.
Critics seem to focus on the "spirituality" element of the album, and it's there, but I don't see it as "Madonna's spirtuality album" or whatever – rather, I see it as tying in with her attempts at self-actualization and self-definition, which are detailed in the lyrics of the record.
Sonically, this is her most exciting album, and probably has the least potential for sounding dated – though who knows, probably by 2007 we'll all be listening to modem squeals as music.

 Choler Magazine Album Review: Apoptygma Berzerk -- Welcome to Earth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The album starts off strong, with the intro "Everything We Know Is Wrong" leading directly into "Starsign," which is your standard dance-floor fare.
We are finally saved from the mediocre middle of the album by "Paranoia," a terrific track that appeared as a single over a year ago.
The album rounds out with "Time to Move On," which appears to be layered samples from various unidentifiable LPs with a sample of Groth saying the track's title.

This album is just plain caustic and ugly right from the start and remains so clear through the end.
The album basically has two speeds, fast and faster (this can be argued, but it’s the lasting impression), and the production is ugly, but not lackadaisical.
After many listens, I am still tickled by this album, though there are a couple of small shortcomings that I think would have elevated this from merely a really good album to one of the best of the year.

 Tangents
The album they recorded while they were together, "Valium", was recently released this year, and the band also has reunited with Dave, Sonny, Abe, and new bassist Chris, and become a serious side-project for Abe.
The album was called 46th and Teeth cause they always used to play basktball late at night at 46th and Tst.
Abe also plays drums on their debut album on the track "Crankslut," which they actaully wrote and recorded while they were all together mixing the Phallucy album.

The debut album is the point where those initial songs honed through gigs are given a chance to make a real lasting impression.
This loud nature would be all well on a punk album and even on a garage rock album, however it often feels as if the squeals are not all angst, rather that of melodic inaccuracies.
The better moments of the album are found in ‘I hate myself’, which combines somewhat heavy reefs with a Spanish trumpet, and the concluding dynamic yet soothing epic ‘Masquered’.

 RollingStone.com: John Mellencamp : John Mellencamp : Review
The title of John Mellencamp's fifteenth album is his name, which is a way of signifying that it's both a self-portrait and a career plateau-cum-new beginning.
His first album for Columbia after a long stint at Mercury, John Mellencamp is a sharp, coherent summary of musical strengths and lyrical themes.
Even with a hip-hop sample and eclectic touches flecked into the mix here and there, the album's overall tone is remarkably consistent.

One reason was because Tricky's work with Massive Attack and his groundbreaking early singles predated the LP's release by two or three years; another is because it's still difficult to believe that he's been considered irrelevant for only about a mere four or five years.
The new-wave tangents are continued on Tricky's requisite covers, this time of XTC's "Dear God" and The Cure's "The Love Cats" [sic], neither of which is worth a second listen.
By the end of the album, Tricky returns to acting on his worst impulses, stumbling through hackneyed sonics and wincing lyrics.

Thus, his first album as a leader, was given the FOUR BROTHERS title and a new version of the piece appears on it.
The albums by the 3s are more homogenious and their music -- a kind of pastoral folk-funk -- tends to blend together.
But all are important albums, both in terms of their times and as lasting contributions to the cannon of jazz.

In fact, they recently released the album Tangents: The Tea Party Collection, and they are at work now on their newest album, Interzone Mantras.

I like the album enough to not throw it under the wheels of my car but, just as with sex, a lack of fulfillment will quickly make me stop going back.

 Disquiet: interviews: Amon Tobin, 1998   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Minor Brazilian touches appear on a number of tracks on the album, and the closing track, appropriately titled "Nova," is pure Brazilian drum'n'bass, awash with a watery marimba line, romantic saxophone, and a lightly strummed bossa nova beat, all atop a peculiar rhythm pattern.
Thing is, just before the album I did the Piranha Breaks thing, which is entirely Latin percussion, so I wanted to make a point of not doing that on this album.
My personal view is, you can take it that way if you want to make it an album with a whole concept, and you want to try and make a thing that works as a unit; you have to start with that idea to begin with.

Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor said he was guided by random forces in making his long-awaited forthcoming double album, The Fragile, a project on which he teams with rapper Dr. Dre and one he touts in a Rolling Stone article as his best work yet.
The album, on which Reznor worked closely with co-producer/engineer Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins, Elastica), is tentatively due in September.
Dre also mixed one track for the new NIN album, Reznor said, adding that he wants to meet the rapper's minimalist recording style halfway on their joint projects.

Released 10 years and five albums into the band's career, Tangents: the Tea Party Collection features an extremely diverse and well-balanced selection of material sure to find favour with long-term fans and newcomers alike.
Yes it came out quite early in their career, but I must admit that Jeff Martin (the lead singer) is quite sure of himself and the band's music in having personally met him.

And while this superb album won't quell the metalcore naysayers, it proves some new ideas can be delivered within the framework of the genre.
When you think the band is simply going to hack and stagger through the entire album, they open the cap to the hazy but bitter catharsis of “The Witness’s Account” which soon explodes into the band’s eloquent discordance and the track artfully bleeds into the hauntingly caustic “One Day, All Eyes Went Dim”.
Eight minute closer “Madness (Sentiment of a Dying man)” is a fittingly, all encompassing end note to the album as it deftly wraps up all of the albums prior moods and tastes into one sprawling, epic track.

In any case, the album being discussed here is a minor classic, the flaming ignorant youth of the band before they went off onto experimental tangents.
This album is much different than the Anacrusis dark and melodic trademark that they achieved in their later 3 albums.
Although it can be downloaded from the site, along with all other songs on the album, I encourage anyone who wants this album to in some way or another get their hands on the original.

Most of the songs on the album were written by guitarist/keyboardist Zak Rizvi except for one by bassist Frank LaPlaca, and their cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" (you know, "Ground control to Major Tom") with an ending chorus from Elton John's "Rocket Man" ("and I think it's gonna be a long long time...").
The new French TV album is not only as outstanding as their previous masterpiece The Violence of Amateurs, but also, it clearly shows that the words like "repetition", "stagnation", and not to mention "decadence", aren't applicable to such true Heroes of Prog as French TV.
The vast difference between these two albums, coupled with the descriptions of some of Frohmader's previous albums, leads me to believe that Frohmader is not a composer to be pidgeonholed, but one who changes and evolves and tries new things with each album.

The live acts, which were recorded for a “Hivernale Pudeur” album in 2002-2003, though fall short of novelty, have a certain portion of eccentricity.
Two final tracks on the album which are dominated by Sokolovsky’s electronics deserve special mention: well thought and catchy, with shifting rhythm organization, multiple inward developments, and lots of textural nuances - they stand a bit apart from the whole program.
The album has been assembled from 4 tracks that appeared at various compilations between 1990 and 1998, and includes 3 previously unpublished tracks.

Worship and Tribute is a solid album, full of original ideas, appropriate tangents, and lots of pizzazz, and could get labeled as a 5.0 by some.
I was into the furious parts of their earlier efforts, and although the new disc is a good one, and some songs could make you cry, I’ve found the old CD in my player once again.
