THE RESIDENTS
Arkansas - (2009)

The original Buny Boy disc was slightly incomplete. You may not have been aware of this. Some of you might be, because if you went to the Bunny Boy show, you heard songs that weren't on the record. This also includes some demos and different versions from the Bunny Boy experience. Plus, this features an extremely attractive photo of Harvey on the front cover. This collection can be considered the third (and most likely, last) installment in the Bunny Boy saga. It was also limited to 500 copies! Hand numbered in digipak packaging.

THE SOULJAZZ ORCHESTRA
Rising Sun - (2010)

Drawing on a wider canvas of styles than ever before, touching on spiritual jazz, deep African rhythms and Ethiopian modes, the Orchestra take their sound to new heights with stunning musicianship and virtuoso arrangements throughout. The tracks themselves flow as a sinuous whole. The reflective intro overture, Awakening, originally came to composer Pierre Chrétien in a dream, the hard Afrobeat of Agbara whips up a heavyweight groove, driven by prepared marimbas rather than traditional electric guitar lines, Negus Negast touches on dark Ethio-jazz, inspired by Strut label-mate Mulatu Astatke, Lotus Flower is a spiritual soul-jazz piece featuring the muted trumpet stylings of guest Nicholas Dyson (musician with Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Temptations and The Coasters), Mamaya moves us into heavy 12/8 Afro-jazz territory, based around traditional Guinean rhythms, the more laid back 12/8 Afro-jazz of Serenity features the flute and clarinet work of multi-instrumentalist Zakari Frantz, Consecration explores modal territory, a track composed during the very early days of the group, and the album closes with Rejoice, a storming cover in two parts of the Pharoah Sanders` 1981 classic.

CLUSONE TRIO
Clusone Trio - (1992)

Recorded in 1991 in Italy, Clusone Trio marked the debut offering from one of the most delightfully iconoclastic groups to come down the improv pike in decades. With spiritual leader Han Bennink percussively playing the god Dionysus to Moore's Pan and Reijseger's Abelard, the Clusone's burst onto the improv scene fully formed, replete not with a sense of humor but with humor as the backbone to "serious" improvisation. They could play anything and usually did. Check for a moment the cacophony that gives way to bluesed-out bebop in "The Pipistrello 1" suite, where everyone from Alban Berg to Neil Hefti is invoked, or the angular elegance in Herbie Nichols' "Sunday Stroll," or the over-driven tonal alchemy in Moore's own "New Shoes," or finally the Monk-laced banter between Moore and Reijseger in Misha Mengelberg's "Rollo II," with its staggered eight notes and chomping flatted ninths. Clusone Trio are a music band, and their debut proved that music could wear the faces of anarchy, chaos, and even anger in its attempt to find the absurdities in joy and illuminate them. This is jazz for those who've tired of changes and the same old "rhythm harmony melody" clichés and are looking for something a bit funnier, a bit more audacious, and a bit more dangerous.

EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN
Tabula Rasa - (1993)

Einstürzende Neubauten's '90s productions may not have been anything like old fans might have expected, but Tabula Rasa tries to maintain the tradition without falling into repetition and instead brings something new to their music. Tabula Rasa is a very diverse album. Even though only songs "Die Interimsliebenden" and "Headcleaner" really stand out, every song has a catch that keeps it interesting. The keyword for Tabula Rasa is "ambience." Neubauten maintain their aggression throughout the end of of the album, and all the power and noise unbend in the 15-minute magnum opus, "Headcleaner." Before that there's 22 minutes of quiet but tight, dark ambient. The opener, "Die Interimsliebenden," may be the only relaxed song on the album, and that's why Tabula Rasa may be difficult to listen to all the way through. The tracks as single songs are very good indeed, but as a whole they form a very tight — and maybe too tight — whole. And Blixa Bargeld's weird lyrics don't ease the pressures. (allmusic.com)

QUENTIN TARANTINO'S
"Reservoir Dogs" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - (1992)

Only five songs here were featured prominently in Quentin Tarantino's rousing crime film ("Little Green Bag," "Hooked on a Feeling," "I Gotcha," "Stuck in the Middle With You," and "Coconut"), but the record includes Steven Wright's introductions from the film (separately indexed, thankfully), as well as Tarantino's infamous interpretation of the meaning of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and Harvey Keitel's monologue on how to rob a jewelry store. In total, that's about fifteen to twenty minutes of material. Padding out the rest of the disc are three new songs that were heard in passing in the film — "Fool for Love" is very good, "Harvest Moon" passable, and "Magic Carpet Ride" is abominable. After this, the disc has passed the half hour mark by two minutes. The amount of music you'll actually want to listen to makes it even shorter, but it is a soundtrack you'll want to return to.

THE SINGING LAWN CHAIRS
The Singing Lawn Chairs - (2007)

The Singing Lawn Chairs are a Residents tribute band comprised of Peeair and Mr. Spagandy. usually Peeair is behind the keys, while Mr. Spagandy sports the microphone. Not much else is known about the duo other than that they are from Gainesville florida and formed around 2001. It is believed that they split sometime in 2007. This posting features a CD that was given to me while waiting in line for The Residents Bunny Boy Show outside The Blender Theater in NYC on Otober 9th, 2008. The disc includes the group covering 25 tunes from The Residents all of which will be recognizable by any Residents fan, however The Lawn Chairs do make many attempts to rework the songs at times making this an interesting experience. Is this as good as anything The Residents themselves have done? no, but just how many Residents tribute bands are or were out there? Check it out for yourself.
