New Strategies For Modern Crime Volume 1

Prefuse 73

Electronic - Released March 22, 2024 | Lex Records

Hi-Res
Nearly every producer who ever assembled a beat eventually gets the cinematic itch—the urge to create  music that fulfills some curious personal idea for a score to a film that exists in their sprawling imagination. Guillermo Scott Herren's thinking noir for his own take on this tendency, and New Strategies for Modern Crime Vol. 1 evokes a blur of its mood-setting characteristics across generations—the early wave's orchestral tension, the postwar era's jazz-steeped lurid bleakness, and neo-noir's hip-hop-break-driven momentum. And it clicks on a deeper level in that it teases out the ironies inherent in crafting a soundtrack that scores sordid bloodletting with depth, sophistication, and beauty. The balance between those moods is struck remarkably, often with a hazy Boards of Canada-esque hauntological analog synth seeping through the window-blind refractions of a '70s paranoia thriller ("Full Recollection"; "Empath Lords") or a meditative-yet-searching blend of post-rock and spiritual-jazz ("Lullabyes and Awakenings"; "Clean Up Scene Apprentice"). Elsewhere Prefuse works with a direct sense of pastiche that feints at the sort of post-acid-jazz that accompanied '90s heist-flick revivalism ("She Needs No Introduction") or borderline-avant orchestral-post-bop material that shifts from the disorienting, colorful pulp of '60s giallo to a tauter, tenser Michael Mann Cali-scape heat ("Fare La Coma [Full Scene]"). The big twist to this album's narrative is its climax is saved for the first act instead of the third: "A Lord Without Jewels" streamlines all these moods into a slow-burn, pre-dawn march that feels like being tailed all night by a malevolent yet lonely presence you can neither fully shake nor put your finger on. © Nate Patrin/Qobuz

A Broken Frame (Deluxe)

Depeche Mode

Pop/Rock - Released September 27, 1982 | Venusnote Ltd.

Martin Gore has famously noted that Depeche Mode stopped worrying about its future when the first post-Vince Clarke-departure single, "See You," placed even higher on the English charts than anything else Clarke had done with them. Such confidence carries through all of A Broken Frame, a notably more ambitious effort than the pure pop/disco of the band's debut. With arranging genius Alan Wilder still one album away from fully joining the band, Frame became very much Gore's record, writing all the songs and exploring various styles never again touched upon in later years. "Satellite" and "Monument" take distinct dub/reggae turns, while "Shouldn't Have Done That" delivers its slightly precious message about the dangers of adulthood with a spare arrangement and hollow, weirdly sweet vocals. Much of the album follows in a dark vein, forsaking earlier sprightliness, aside from tracks like "A Photograph of You" and "The Meaning of Love," for more melancholy reflections about love gone wrong as "Leave in Silence" and "My Secret Garden." More complex arrangements and juxtaposed sounds, such as the sparkle of breaking glass in "Leave in Silence," help give this underrated album even more of an intriguing, unexpected edge. Gore's lyrics sometimes veer on the facile, but David Gahan's singing comes more clearly to the fore throughout -- things aren't all there yet, but they were definitely starting to get close.© Ned Raggett /TiVo

...And Then There Was X

DMX

Hip-Hop/Rap - Released December 4, 1999 | RAL

Though it's DMX's third album in two years, ...And Then There Was X doesn't show much sign of burnout. True, it's similar to his last, which balanced new-school gangsta tracks ("The Professional," "Make a Move") with a couple that question the inevitable trappings that come with success ("Fame," "One More Road to Cross"). And the productions by Swizz Beats, P. Killer Trackz, and Shok -- all part of Ruff Ryders -- are heavily synthesized and occasionally melodramatic, just like both of his previous albums. Even when Swizz Beats' usually reliable productions fall through, DMX brings it all back with his tough rhymes and inventive wordplay. He's still torn between the thug life and spiritual concerns (even including a long prayer in the liner notes), but the most exciting tracks on ...And Then There Was X are good-time joints like "Party Up" and "What's My Name?"© John Bush /TiVo

Talkin' Blues

Bob Marley & The Wailers

World - Released February 4, 1991 | Island Records (The Island Def Jam Music Group / Universal Music)

Originally released in February 1991, this album combines material from several different sources to trace the development of Bob Marley & the Wailers between October 1973 and September 1975. The bulk of the disc comes from a 1973 radio concert performed before a handful of listeners at the Record Plant recording studio in San Francisco and broadcast by KSAN-FM. The outfit who played them was technically still the Wailers, since Peter Tosh was still with them (and sang lead on his own compositions, "You Can't Blame the Youth" and "Stop That Train"), although Bunny Livingston had declined to tour and been replaced by Joe Higgs. By 1974, when the group assembled to record their next album, Natty Dread, Tosh and Livingston had quit, and the band was reorganized as Bob Marley & the Wailers. In July 1975, the band played two shows at the Lyceum in London that would break them in the U.K., when recordings from the performances were issued as the album Live!. Finally, the musical tracks are interspersed with excerpts from an interview with Marley conducted in September 1975. While these spoken fragments provide a flavor of Marley's conversation, his heavy patois is very difficult for non-Jamaicans to understand. Still, these are valuable odds and ends for the Bob Marley fan.© William Ruhlmann /TiVo

Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack) [Deluxe]

Elvis Presley

Rock - Released April 6, 2018 | RCA - Legacy

The intent of Thom Zimny's documentary The Searcher is to showcase the artistry of Elvis Presley, an aspect that can sometimes get overwhelmed by Presley's enduring popularity. Appropriately, its accompanying soundtrack -- available either as a single CD/LP or in a triple-disc deluxe edition -- follows the same aesthetic, showcasing Elvis as an artist, not a hitmaker. Of course, there are plenty of hits here, especially on the three-CD edition, which contains two discs of Presley recordings and a disc split between Elvis inspirations, selections from the evocative score from Mike McCready, and a version of "Wooden Heart" by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. The key is context: "Hound Dog" leads into "(There'll Be) Peace in the Valley (For Me)," "Suspicious Minds" is heard in an alternate take where Elvis is still sorting through the song, "Heartbreak Hotel" is paired with the hard blues of "Lawdy Miss Clawdy." The first disc relies on early material, the second latter-day material, and the editorial touch is a bit more evident on the latter: Since the '50s sides are so frequently reissued, there isn't much room for surprises, but the late-'60s and '70s material -- not unfamiliar, but not as common as the '50s -- makes the case for Presley's artistry quite nicely. Ultimately, this isn't for Elvis fanatics -- there's not much in the way of rarities -- but as an introduction to Presley's work, this is quite good, and it's an excellent way to dig deeper than the hits.© Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo
