Slice of Lemon
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Two fine West Coast indie labels--Kill Rock Stars and Lookout--have combined to produce this wonderful double-CD compilation, featuring no less than 40 distinctive bands. In fact, this collection is not unlike the trio of compilations Kill Rock Stars has issued over the last few years. It encompasses all manner of musical styles and statements and the recording quality throughout is consistently low-fi. But low-fi fits this kind of do-it-yourself, anyone-can-be-in-a-band aesthetic like a glove. You'll not likely have heard of more than half of the bands unless you live in Olympia, Washington, or the Bay Area, but together with some better-known names--Mary Lou Lord, Elliott Smith, Fitz of Depression, Mr. T Experience, cub, Pansy Division--these obscure bands continue to carry on the true spirit of punk rock, as far from the reach of the corporate music machine as possible. It's through compilations like A Slice of Lemon (and labels like KRS and Lookout) that indie rock will remain truly independent. --Adem Tepedelen

Album Description
In this album, the common thread of voice and cello conjures a contemporary musical world rooted in the traditions of a millennium. Soprano Eileen Clark and cellist Matt Haimovitz perform the recital ranging from an Hildegard Von Bingen arrangement to John Tavener's "Ahkmatova Songs", from a first recording of Luna Pearl Woolf's "Epithalamion" to Heitor Villa-Lobos' beloved "Bachianas Brasileirsas No. 5" in which Haimovitz has overlaid all the parts in the eight-cello orchestra. Also included in this chant-infused collection is original improvisation on Pablo Neruda's eponymous poem, "Ode to the Lemon." The album features original artwork in a striking multi-panel eco-friendly package with accompanying booklet of the poetry.
The breadth and beauty of the poetry set in these pieces inspired a fine-art book entitled Lemons Descending: Music, Poetry, Etchings, from Oxingale Press. With this recording as its seed and poetry letterpress printed on hand-made paper, the book features the etchings of Michael Kuch, whose interpretations create a visual counterpoint to the compositions. The limited edition book may be viewed at the Library of Congress, Yale University, Stanford University, and other libraries around the world.

Customer Reviews:
A Slice Of Lemon.......2001-08-27
The merging of 2 of the west coast's premire punk labels "A Slice of Lemon" brings some of the best that Lookout & Kill Rock Stars has to offer. Songs range from snotty straight foreward hard-core (Chickenhead, Tourettes) to sweet & cute (Go Sailor, Mary Lou Lord) with lots of stuff in-between. The duds on this one out number the gems, but when it's good, it's very, very good. The highlights are the songs by Pee-Chees, Black Fork, Elliott Smith, Chickenhead, Excuse 17, Kitty Cat Spy Club, Third Sex, Go Sailor, Touretts, Cub & Mary Lou Lord.
