The Shape Of Punk To Come

Refused

Alternative & Indie - Released October 27, 1998 | Burning Heart Records - Epitaph

Many who listen to this album will say "Hey, this isn't punk" after not finding the power chords and I-IV-V structures that they associate with poppy skatepunk bands like NOFX and Lagwagon, but this is what revolution is all about -- taking an industry of specifications and expectations and turning it fully on its head, yet holding on to some semblance of what once was. Refused are pure innovation and passion spouting Nation of Ulysses-esque doctrine while fusing together the bite and flavor of fist-raised, Dillinger Escape Plan-style hardcore with ambient textures, jazz breakdowns, and other such deviations. Choppy, beautiful movements, choked thoughts, and feelings of elevation -- this is what punk is all about, although to the common ear it may not sound like it, and that is precisely one of the reasons why it is so potent. [In 2010, Epitaph reissued a Deluxe Version of The Shape of Punk to Come in a three-disc set, complete with a bonus live CD and a DVD documentary.]© Blake Butler /TiVo

RTRN II JUNGLE

Chase & Status

Dance - Released May 31, 2019 | EMI

Chase & Status decided to celebrate their 15th anniversary as an active unit by going back to their roots. The ever-versatile duo have explored nearly every style of the U.K. dance music continuum, from big beat to dubstep, and have become one of the country's biggest acts in the process, scoring numerous chart hits and collaborating with everyone from Rihanna to British rock group Slaves. With RTRN II JUNGLE, however, the duo leave crossover attempts behind and focus strictly on ragga-jungle, harking back to the mid-'90s work of producers like Potential Bad Boy and Shy FX. Opening with a snippet of a radio news report describing jungle as "a mixture of fast drums and heavy bass" influenced by Jamaican dancehall culture, the album sticks to that premise, delivering 12 highly focused tunes filled with high-octane breakbeats and ragga lyrics. Chase & Status were far from the only ones bringing back the energy of vintage jungle during the 2010s -- just listen to Paul Woolford's Special Request project, or any of the producers associated with the infamous Rupture events in London -- but the duo's vision of the genre is a bit more accessible and song-based. Even with the major label production values, the tracks don't sound over-polished, nor do they try too hard to sound like they could've been released 25 years earlier. There are familiar breaks and noises, sure, but there are also certain touches (particularly more modern-sounding bass swerves) that indicate the duo's disinterest in living in the past. A few tracks are built around vocals sampled from deejays beloved by old-school junglists, like General Levy and Cutty Ranks, but others like "Bubble" seem more in tune with the sound of late-2010s Jamaica. While there's a fair share of more laid-back rollers on here, there are also some all-out stormers, such as "Program" and the practically lethal "Disaster," which intersperses Amen wreckage with a sample of an all-night gig by revered British reggae selector David Rodigan. By aiming for the Bang Face hard crew rather than the pop charts, Chase & Status have produced their most direct, exciting work yet.© Paul Simpson /TiVo

Silver Apples

Silver Apples

Rock - Released June 1, 1968 | Geffen

The group's two '60s albums (Silver Apples and Contact) were previously combined as a two-fer a few years before this identical release, but as this is on a major label, it will find wider distribution. It also benefits from the addition of newly penned historical liner notes from Simeon and vintage photos of the band, along with a diagram of the Simeon (the instrument) and Danny Taylor's drum setup. © Richie Unterberger /TiVo

In On The Kill Taker

Fugazi

Alternative & Indie - Released April 1, 1993 | Dischord Records

In on the Kill Taker is like scrubbing your face with steel wool. It finds the band relying on rusty guitar shards that scrape, seethe, and hiss, further removing itself from the sound of 13 Songs and Repeater. Harsh and grating, Fugazi surprisingly produces sheer noise at times, best witnessed in the lengthy closing of "23 Beats Off" and the unintentional Gremlins homage that opens "Walken's Syndrome." Joe Lally's bass and Brendan Canty's drums are relegated to acting as a guide; they're pushed -- but not squashed -- down in the mix, allowing for Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto's guitars to take control, corrosively so. It's probably Fugazi's least digestible record from front to back, but each track has its own attractive qualities, even if not immediately perceptible. "Facet Squared" and "Public Witness Program" open the record furiously, but the majority of the following "Return the Screw" is hardly audible, aside from occasional vocal tantrums. A good amount of time is spent alternating between low-key guitar noodling and intrusive bursts of aggression. They're smart with their sequencing, placing the gentle instrumental "Sweet and Low" (the only track where Lally plays a prominent role) after the exhaustive cacophony of "23 Beats Off," and generally piecing together a set of rather diverse tracks that flows well. Picciotto's anti-Hollywood rant on the properly titled "Cassavetes" is a classic Fugazi moment, as is his similarly name-dropping "Walken's Syndrome." Buried at the end of the record are two excellent lurchers, MacKaye's "Instrument" and Picciotto's "Last Chance for a Slow Dance." Not Fugazi's finest hour, but one of its most daring and rewarding.© Andy Kellman /TiVo

Concert Program

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

Alternative & Indie - Released May 9, 1995 | Editions Penguin Café

This two-disc live program of music spanning the history of the group from the early 1970s to the early 1990s is remarkable not only for the quality of the music, but for the absolute hush of the audience; there's not a cough or a clap out of them. We are thus left free from distraction to enjoy PCO's unique combination of old-time parlor stylings, park bandstand music, folk, and classical. Emotionally, the mélange adds up to a wistful yet hopeful nostalgia. Intellectually, it's fascinating to watch the kaleidoscopic interplay of elements, such as the minimalist factor that enters the mix in "Numbers 1-4" with its Glass-like repeated gallop. The music is all instrumental (it really is all small orchestra), but the possible sameness of the sound is broken up by clever arrangements and a little variation in the instruments, as with the occasional harmonium and the ukulele featured on the all-out hoe-down "Beanfields" (not to mention the telephonesounds on "Telephone and Rubber Band"). The instruments are unfortunately pushed too far back in the sound-space, as an effect rather like a soft-focus in a movie flashback. This may have been composer/producer Simon Jeffes' intent, but it doesn't serve the music well. Half the fun of listening to PCO is trying to pin down the allusions and influences, the funniest being the riff from "La Bamba" played on the cuatro by Jeffes in "Giles Farnaby's Dream." However, the eclecticism makes it hard to define the market who will appreciate this music. If you like Cafe Noir, 81/2 Souvenirs, or Squirrel Nut Zippers, there's a pretty good chance you'll like this, too. But remember that Penguin Cafe Orchestra was there first. © TiVo

The Impossible Bird

Nick Lowe

Rock - Released November 29, 1994 | Yep Roc Records

Nick Lowe's best records have always been full of clever lyrics and undeniable pop craftsmanship; the exception is The Impossible Bird. For most of the 1980s, Lowe had been appropriating country and R&B influences, but The Impossible Bird is where he fully incorporates those styles into his songwriting. Lowe doesn't abandon his gift for melody; "Soulful Wind" and "12-Step Program (To Quit You Babe)" are as catchy as anything he's ever written. The difference is haunting songs like "The Beast in Me" and "Withered on the Vine," two rich, sad, introspective numbers that Lowe would never have put on previous albums. And that's what makes The Impossible Bird his best album since Labour of Lust -- it's the most focused, mature, personal music of his career, without a single throwaway.© Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo
