    5 out of 5 stars grey noise and static empty shells.......2006-07-16

    Terminal Tower is the album that got me into pere ubu. There are tracks on this that are so powerful that they chill your spine. Especially the song "heart of darkness". This song, to me, is the anthem of conscience. The first sound was truly the best intro of a pere ubu record. Though I wasn't alive when they started in Ohio, I heard that David Thomas would strike an anvil with a sludge hammer in this song. Songs like "30 seconds over Tokyo" and "final solution" are also very powerful and interesting. There is even a version of "modern dance" (the song) without the "Mamba Mamba" part of the verse. Generally this is a very interesting CD.

    3 out of 5 stars PROMISE OF GENIUS.......2001-12-27

    The promise of genius certainly shines through on these early tracks, but I was a little disappointed as this album does not quite have that hypnotic quality of, for example Dub Housing, where they create such exquisite sound sculptures on the synthesizer in a thoroughly rock idiom.

    Heart Of Darkness and 30 Seconds over Tokyo reveal their garage roots, but they really soar on Final Solution with its nervous buildup, beautiful melody and rousing conclusion. Of the rest, I love Heaven with its swaying reggae rhythm, droning bursts of synth and jangling guitars, and the quirky pop song Happy.

    Although the roots of their later masterpieces are evident here, it's still in a raw form and based on the guitar, predating their later exploration of the synth/industrial style where they found their true voice.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Band, Music of the Highest Quality.......2001-12-20

    Were there justice in the world, and with a bit of luck, these songs would have been HUGE and appreciated worldwide. Rock music doesn't get made more artfully, or with more power, than this.

    The majority of tracks here are Ubu's early singles, originally released in the mid-70's on their own Hearthen label. The players on here went on to demonstrate their brilliance on subsequent Ubu albums, except for original member Peter Laughner who left the band. (Laughner was a very talented and tasteful guitar player). It's shocking to me the degree to which they had their act together from the get-go on these early singles. Guitarists Tom Hermann and Laughner promulgate some of the most delicious guitar sounds you'll ever hear, and actually influenced a fair amount of 90's music (most notably through the Pixies and the Breeders). Their bezerk duet on "Cloud 149" is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in rock. Drummer Scott Krauss plays like a combination of Charlie Watts' propulsiveness and Bill Bruford's sense of fractured rhythm; he's completely brilliant. Allen Ravenstine's synthesizer starts its course of emulating Brain Eno's Roxy Music sound, and adds bursts of noise that augment the other players in sounding something like the end of the world. Tony Maimone emerges a few singles in as one of the world's great bass players. David Thomas puts his vocals on top, during his younger days when he seemed to have something to say - before he became the alternative version of Tiny Tim.

    It's awesome. You have to hear it. You may want to consider purchase of the "Datapanic" box set.

    4 out of 5 stars A great introduction........2001-10-16

    I'd always been curious about Pere Ubu. I'd always heard them namedropped along with bands such as Mission Of Burma and Gang Of Four, and I was well acquainted with Claw Hammer's amazing version of the Ubu classic "Final Solution," but it took me years to finally pick up one of their releases, due to their long, varied, and wildly inconsistent back catalog.

    Fortunately, "Terminal Tower" captures Ubu in their earliest, best stages, what I like to refer as "the Pink Floyd that doesn't suck." The first three songs show Pere Ubu as a brilliantly skewed rock band. "Heart Of Darkness" is Mission Of Burma a half-decade earlier, "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" is a slow, methodical song that unravels over the course of six-and-a-half minutes, with a haunting paranoid vocal softly intoning lyrics about suicide bombers that are still chilling 25 years later (especially with the recent events in Afganistan) set to a droning Sabbath-esque fuzz guitar riff. "Final Solution" is a classic, anthemic hard rock song buried under a ton of guitar weirdness. It's not hard to see why bands like Claw Hammer, The Pagans, and Gaunt have all decided to do their own version of this song.

    From there the mood lightens a bit, with Pere Ubu doing a few bouncy, yet equally absurd pop tunes. Dave Thomas almost evokes an eccentric, white Wilson Pickett on "Untitled," warbling "The Modern Dance...it goes like this!" Elsewhere "My Dark Ages" is Pere Ubu's claustrophobic take on disco, while "Heaven" could best be decribed as futuristic reggae, almost like Peter Tosh with whooshing spaceship noises in the background.

    Here it is, the damaged, manic-depressive sound of Pere Ubu at it's most accessible without sacrificing it's crooked, quirky edge. Thusly, "Terminal Tower" is regarded as one the group's few essential releases, where the strangeness of the arrangements adds to the the greatness of the songs, rather than detracting from them.

    4 out of 5 stars Rock and Roll Cleveland!.......2001-04-10

    I've never been a big fan of Pere Ubu, but always enjoyed the musical style of their earlier work. The songs tended to be more guitar-orientated with traditional song structures, albeit twisted in unusual ways, which created a sound that most suited their brilliant label for their music: "avante-garage". One of the key factors in the development of this sound was the late talented guitarist/disaster area Peter Laughner (he died of alcoholism at 24) who's main influences were the Velvet Underground and early Captain Beefheart along with the standard blues rock. He played on the first several singles before being kicked out of the band due to his unreliability. Laughner's imaginative guitar playing could range from a tight coiled scratchy sound (the verses for "Heart of Darkness") to thick psychedelic/heavy metal leads (the ending of "Final Solution") and this mixed well with the bands intelligent use of synthesizer. The synthesizer rarely played notes or chords but instead provided unusual aural coloring ambience. A sound suited as a reflection of the background noise of our Industrial age, or Technological age, or whatever the hell we are living in. "Heart of Darkness" starts things out with some of the bitterest lyrics imaginable, and "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" continues on into a surreal nightmare with a bizarre dissonant instrumental break. On "Final Solution", things began to lighten up with its rather amusing lyrics (no, the song has nothing to do with the Third Reich). The album covers a wide emotional range; the terrific and catchy "Heaven" is positively sunny. The last few songs signal a movement towards Ubu's later sound. "The Book Is On The Table" is a mildly amusing sonic experiment. On the last two songs, the song structures and synthesizer sounds become more comical and David Thomas' vocal becomes more hyperactive and histrionic. Not really "my thing". "Not Happy", ironically, sounds like listening to bubble gum music (The Ohio Express?) on laughing gas. However, one of the essential cuts, as another reviewer here has mentioned, is the live 1978 version of "Humor Me". The song is for the now departed, from both the band and life, Laughner. The studio version on their "Modern Dance" album is fine, but a little too restrained. On this cut, one can hear Thomas and the rest of the band's rage and pain bellow up at having had to watch their pal self-destruct. This scathing exorcism will bring to mind Horace Walpole's famous quote: " Life is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel".

    First of all, its usually great to get 2 for 1 when buying a cd. Having said that the self titled Ducks Deluxe cd while musically all over the place with California, Beatles, Stone, Byrds, Blues and Dylan influences is the cd of this set to listen to. The Ducks were a stand up and play bar band that did what they did very well; play a variety of dance (able) musical syles and rock out in the process. No complex stuff ala the glitter/glam/arena bands of the day. The Ducks songs and lyics show just how strongly the USA influenced the British rock scene on the grass roots level. Songs about California, swamps, Texas and freight trucks over long hauls tell stories of British views of america (even though none of the band members had visited the USA at the time). I bought a Ducks vinyl in 1975 because I liked the cover and have listened to them ever since. I am glad I was able to get the cd set.

    Now this is one incredible double CD! It offers both DD records in one small package. This was one rockin' pub rock combo from the pre-punk era!!! I bought a compilation LP in the 80's that blew my mind! This was what rock should have become. In the vein of but much better than Dr Feelgood!

    Those who thought the three-decade collaboration between director Steven Spielberg and composer John Williams couldn't possibly yield any more musical surprises will find themselves warmly rebuffed here. Based on the true story of an exiled man-without-a-country who made Paris' Orly airport his home, director Steven Spielberg's storytelling liberties have transformed it into an unlikely comic romance between Tom Hanks' mythical Krakhozian refugee Viktor and Catherine Zeta-Jones' Amelia. Williams' captures the wistful tone with an airy, oft-impressionistic score that recalls a winning marriage of Michel Legrand's elegant piano-jazz conceits and Rachel Portman's delicate, introspective pastoralism. Too often underutilized in recent years, Williams' own rich jazz background frequently serves him well here, informing Amelia's love theme with emotional grace and serving as perfect counterpoint to the ethnic inventions carried by Emily Bernstein's soulful clarinet (Williams even gets to concoct a lovably pompous anthem for Viktor's fictional Krakhozia) and the bracing jolts of bright, post-modernist influenced orchestral music that holds it together. -- Jerry McCulley

    This is a very good soundtrack. If you liked the movie, you will like this one as well. The movie is a feel good movie and so is the soundtrack. When you listen to this music you get a happy feeling!
    It really belongs in the top of John Williams work!
    Enjoy!

    4 out of 5 stars A feel-good score.......2004-12-27

    John Williams has done lots of scores, but has mostly got a name with his bombastic or majestic sounding, huge orchestra scores. While those are very good, I find that his precision towards this type of comedy loses no effort. The first track introduces the character of Viktor Navorsky, which has his own theme, a very good one in fact. It is played by solo clarinet and sounds precise, somehow, to the entire movie. Throughout the score we hear accordians, jazz instruments, piano, instruments usually shadowned often throughout his other works. I also find that Track 12, Finding Coins and Learning To Read is a refreshing break from Williams' sterotype, it's a gentle and feel-good track played by harps and piano with the main theme drizzling through. I never knew Williams had it in him.

    This is a comment on the dubious selection of audio clips by Amazon, not on the artist... Bravo!!! Absolutely mesmerized by the assist in evaluating The Book of Heart -- comprised about 30 seconds of no sound, whatsoever. Certainly enough of nothing on which to base this review.

    4 out of 5 stars experimental avant-garde?.......2000-08-17

    Ok, first of all: This is not a "pop album" like O'Rourke's later CD's "Eureka" or "Halfway to a threeway". This is electro-acoustic music, or "weird, eerie constructions of sounds and droning notes" as I prefer to call it. Also, I might not be the right person the review this CD, but I give it a try anyway.

    The first track is a 40-minute piece, mostly of very quiet sounds of some kind of processed clarinet (? ), machines, talking and strange statics and crackles. The humming gives a nice atmosphere and if stuff like Oval is your bag, this might be something for you. After a second track which is just 58 seconds of silence, the third and last track called "Terminal Pharmacy" start. This is mainly strings - but NOT Mantovani! Think Gyorgy Ligeti and more atonal music. Not as good as the first track "Cede" but it has something. The whole CD has "something" but I haven't figured out what it is yet...

    5 out of 5 stars great.......2006-03-01

    Terminal's music is unique in almost every sense of the word. The closest I can come to describing their sound would be a more aggressive version of The Afters. Indie pop-infused rock is a fitting genre description, with punk/emo twinged vocals courtesy of Bryant. They stretch their sound out on How the Lonely Keep. Never does the music seem repetitive either. Each track has its own sound, while keeping a general tone alive throughout the forty-three minute running time of the disc.


    The lyrics drip with regret and remorse, and the music perfectly compliments that tone. Some songs reek of hopelessness, like "City by the Sea," "I wish I had a little more to miss/ Than friends that don't exist/ In a town that felt like scars across my wrists." Other songs are a wee more optimistic, like "Just a Failure," "This time I'll disappoint the past/ Prove repetition wrong/ I'm just a failure feeling better than I ever have/ If this is life, I'm ready to live/ It feels so good to feel again."


    More depressing then the CDs tone, however, is the fact that it's the first and last time we'll hear it. Bryant may remain under the moniker "Terminal," but when you lose all of your musical talent in one fleeting moment, things are bound to change. Here's to hoping that somehow, Travis Bryant is able to conjure up another brilliant effort in the aftermath of the beautiful piece of work known as How the Lonely Keep.

    This is a really good soundtrack with lots of good songs that you don't get to really hear well in the movie. Yes I have the movie but I feel it may time to rip the sucker off that 8 year old VHS and get it digitized. I fear I may lose it forver otherwise.

    5 out of 5 stars best soundtrack ever........2004-08-11

    Without a doubt this is my favourite soundtrack album. There's not a bad song on here. DOA don't always deliver the goods (anyone remember Let's Wreck the Party?), but the 3 they have here are perfect (the one with Biafra might be the best though). Nomeansno kill with It's Catching Up, and this version of Falling Space Junk is way better than the remake on the album with Jello. Art Bergman is one of Canada's best songwriters (shamefully underappreciated), and War Party doesn't disappoint. Man, I could go on forever about this album. I could go on even longer about the movie, which was a hellovalotta fun despite and because of its cheese factor {I actually managed to tape a copy of the movie when it was on pay tv back in the early 1990s). If you like anything that was put out by Alternative Tentacles in the 1980s, you've gotta pick this up ... and pull the trigger sunshine!

    5 out of 5 stars Worth the trip..........2002-01-24

    A wonderful dark story, one of my favorite movies of all time (where is the video?) if you enjoyed the sound track to Repo Man , DOA, Suburbia or even UKDK you will love this. Worth the price just for the histroy lessons in the liner notes.

There are some fantastic tracks on it (NoMeansNo, the Groovaholics, Evan Johns), and none that really suck. If any more are ever pressed, it's worth your hard-earned entertainment dollars.

    Maybe someday I'll get to see the film it goes with.

      The Philly-born tenor saxophonist has been a major star in the jazz world: as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, co-founder of the Jazztet with Art Farmer, and creator of compelling compositions, film scores, and TV scores. Now, thanks to his cameo in Steven Spielberg's movie, The Terminal, Golson's star will shine even brighter. Here, Golson is backed by a powerhouse combo featuring trumpeter Eddie Henderson, pianist Mike LeDonne, bassist Buster Williams, and drummer Carl Allen. Golson's deep and lyrical tenor dips into some of his best-known hard-bop gems, like in-the-pocket classics "Killer Joe" and "Blues March," and he comes up with some new delights such as the calypso-cadenced "Caribbean Drifting." The title track, with its oblique and urbane melody, is of course inspired by the movie. It's a much better enticement to see it than any movie trailer could ever be. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

      4 out of 5 stars Golson's Gold.......2004-09-16

      Bennie Golson is 75 this year.

      That makes him a contemporary of Miles Davis and Stan Getz. It is interesting speculate on whether Stan and Miles would be doing the burnished, polished enjoyable music featured here if their, hmmm, bad habits hadn't shortened their lives. It amazes me that as many Jazz artists get older, they get better, often. Or more Mellow. (Rock musicians tend to have a brief few years and vanish).

      Mellow. Smooth. That's how I would characterize Benny and his group and their play here. Many songs are Golson classics. 'Killer Joe' is a jazz description of a ghetto gentleman in "a form fitting dark pin stripe suit and a wide brim felt hat who is opposed to manual labor, his, but is willing to accept cash contributions from women...".

      My favorite, other than Killer Joe, is 'Park Avenue Petite', a hopeless love ballad about a guy from the ghetto who sees and attractive uptown lady he will never know. When asked "how long should you pause between notes in a ballad?", Benny replied "long enough to go out for a sandwich! A ballad gives the artist no place to hide. Ballads are harder than bebop." I agree, wholeheartedly.

      Title track is from Golson's playing in the Spielberg/Tom Hanks movie of the same name.

      There is a gentle unhurried swing to most numbers. Benny doesn't push everyone else to the side to solo, in fact often Ed Henderson's trumpet seems in the lead. Great warm bass work here too, by the man in love with the E string, Buster Williams. Well recorded. satisfying. Jazz in the traditional style of late Stan and early/middle Miles.

      well recorded

      3 out of 5 stars great representation of Swedish metal...........2005-03-19

      I was first introduced to AT The Gates along with others like Dissection, Hypocrisy, Emperor, Dark Tranquility, Edge of Sanity, etc. Along with ATG, all these other bands are my "mother's milk", so to speak. Since ATG was one of my first introductions to Swedish Metal, I think that's why this album is so close to me. It's got great guitar lines, good, screaming vocals, and a drummer to match. I am especially fond of acoustic guitar work on albums like this, and "As the World Returns" is haunting, and beautiful all at the same time. Good use of the Cello, too. If you haven't experienced ATG yet, try "Slaughter of the Soul" first. That's a much more engrossing experience. But I still have to say that "Terminal Spirit Disease" is not bad. NOT bad at all.

      3 out of 5 stars amazing but NEEDED to be longer.......2004-02-29

      a great Swedish (as usual) album. energetic vocals good guitaring and overall good effect. its not as unique as the albums W.F.I.K.T.B.D. or T.R.I.T.S.I.O. ( why do the titles have to be so long) but unique enough (as far as i know) and some good experimentation with other, non-metal,instruments. if you like the experimentations with other instruments buy T.R.T.S.I.O. because in that album they actually get a violinist into the band making for some great songs( P.S. buy ELEGEION-ODYSSEY INTO DARKNESS)
