Luckily for Clash fans, the fad of the moment in music marketing was the EP. An EP was a ten-inch... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1008888 Tue, 29 Aug 2000 02:25:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-1ABD-6B75083-39AB3FA6-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-25AA-31E38328-39AAA772-prod5?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - Elvis Costello has covered a great deal of stylistic ground in his career. He hit the airwaves during the period in the late 70s when the public were open to unconventional songs from unconventional performers. Music marketroids had taken punk, filed... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1008950 Mon, 28 Aug 2000 15:38:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-25AA-31E38328-39AAA772-prod5?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-6D90-673422A-39AA916E-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - The Best Concert I Ever Saw was the Toronto stop of 1982's Combat Rock tour by the Clash. The band imploded soon after, leaving a void that remains to this day. Fans of the Clash hoped for a reconciliation, a reunion, or at least some good solo... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1008957 Mon, 28 Aug 2000 13:27:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-6D90-673422A-39AA916E-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-6E94-41F2E1E-39A5F35A-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - Long ago, alternative music lived up to its name. It was vibrant, loud and thumbed its nose at the abysmal pop music of the day. You could find alternative music on college radio, and on a very few commercial stations that barely stayed in business... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1009314 Fri, 25 Aug 2000 02:20:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-6E94-41F2E1E-39A5F35A-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-54D2-25CD5354-398BB67C-prod5?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - Liege and Lief is a wonderful album. I could recommend that everyone reading this review go out and buy it, but I won't. This music can either strike the listener as contrived and boring, or as a beautifully crafted masterwork. I know, because,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1011775 Sat, 5 Aug 2000 03:46:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-54D2-25CD5354-398BB67C-prod5?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-C2A-A003A9E-397E76EF-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - Talking Heads started as a quirky New York-based band whose angular, intelligent music rode the "New Wave" of the late 1970s to a position a the top of the charts for much of the 80s. The band constantly reinvented itself, evolving from an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1013037 Wed, 26 Jul 2000 03:35:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-C2A-A003A9E-397E76EF-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-5ED7-6663AF2-3977D111-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - Neil Young is an entertainer who follows his heart without worrying about the consequences. Originally famous for his work with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Neil "went solo" in 1969, and quickly established a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1013684 Fri, 21 Jul 2000 03:02:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-5ED7-6663AF2-3977D111-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-F1F-11990D15-39768626-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - I've been a fan of 10,000 Maniacs since the release of In My Tribe in 1987. That album's rich blend of top-notch songwriting, varied instrumentation and musical styles and the breathtaking voice of Natalie Merchant made it a favorite with college... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1013794 Thu, 20 Jul 2000 03:13:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-F1F-11990D15-39768626-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/rest-review-67E4-5A6D5B1-3975E715-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - It's easy to miss Mae Phim. It's a tiny restaurant, hidden away from the main street. It is worth searching for, as their menu is a wonderful mix of tasty and inexpensive. They carry a wide variety of dishes, but I've only tried a few, because the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~789802 Wed, 19 Jul 2000 15:12:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/rest-review-67E4-5A6D5B1-3975E715-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-73F0-1012524D-39729DDA-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - Bob Dylan is an acquired taste. Some people pick up one of his less accessible albums and are scared away by Bob's voice, which sometimes sounds like a croaking plea for help from someone who mistakenly swallowed household cleaners. What they don't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1014200 Mon, 17 Jul 2000 04:01:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-73F0-1012524D-39729DDA-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-308E-1B7D55DA-3971503F-prod5?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - I had this album written off long before I ever heard it. David Sylvian first found popularity as the vocalist for Japan, whose hits included Adolescent Sex and Life In Tokyo. I made the mistake of looking at a picture of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1014327 Sun, 16 Jul 2000 04:32:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-308E-1B7D55DA-3971503F-prod5?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-6FA5-4543BCE-396FF1EF-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - In the 70's a band named The Allan Parsons Project released an album titled "Songs of Mystery and Imagination" I preferred to call it "Songs of Misery and Alienation". That would be an apt subtitle for the Violent Femmes' 3, a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1014449 Sat, 15 Jul 2000 03:23:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-6FA5-4543BCE-396FF1EF-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-3F5E-38E04F9-396DF685-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicinsight - What's at the top of the charts today? Pre-fabricated, young, soulless product aimed at the wallets of teens. One exception, Carlos Santana, was last year's chart-topper. Another exception recently put out their first studio album in twenty years. It's... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1014708 Thu, 13 Jul 2000 14:12:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-3F5E-38E04F9-396DF685-prod4?linkin_id=8003929
