Poison Kitchen [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Westword, Backwash column
Poison Kitchen is the second release from Denver's Worm Trouble, a band that's competent enough to conduct stylistic experiments and infuse them with a somewhat sardonic sense of humor. "Vinyl", for example, sounds a little bit like Devo fronting as a bluesy bar band; "Thunder Rises" calls to mind Throwing Muses attempting to make carnival music; and "Riots" includes everything from fat, Sabbathy guitars to guitarist/vocalist Michael Trenhaile performing a funny yet urgent narrative that would make David Byrne proud ("Carbon dioxide, rarely seen, is now a fact," he warns). Bassist/vocalist Kathryn Ellinger isn't satisfied to simply sing with a pretty girl's voice, though she's got one, and thank God - her delivery is commanding and confident on "Gather the Rain" and "Amsterdam". Ultimately, Worm Trouble actually has a sound of its own; the good news is it's a solid one.

FEMMUSIC.com
(Excerpt from live performance review) Worm Trouble is a different band with a different style for those used to pop, rock, and alternative based more on volume than artistry. This trio has something many emerging bands strive for, a style that radiates.

...when the music began the audience went silent. Worm Trouble's music is an amalgamation, has a voice of its own. It is fluid and succinct. (Their) lyrics are poetry wrapped in metaphor and simile, taking a snapshot of the mundane and the... read more

Delicious***.......2005-09-18

A musical feast for the ears and spirit! It's subtle, yet very sexy, but in a very sensual, soothing sort of way...and it is full of muscial promise and brimming with delightfulness. Listening to it and ingesting the melodies is like standing under a water fall of rose petals...and being showered.

Terence Blanchard did an outstanding job on this project...I often play this CD early in the morning while sipping my tea and contemplating my day and my life, or very late at night when I need to unwind. It's a perfect companion for warm breezy evenings, as the sunsets, and also it is great when coupled with a fireplace and cold winter nights.

If you can find this gem for less than $30.00, you've found a bargain, so grab it! It's out of print, but certainly isn't out of mind..it stays in the forefront of my music collection.

As sensual as the movie...........2002-05-29

I am a great fan of soundtrack music. If you are as well, and if you enjoyed the movie, you need this CD in your collection.

Strangely after seeing the movie I realized I hadn't really noticed the music, a very unusual occurrence. Upon listening to the CD and re-watching the film, I realized they were so closely joined the music had become almost subliminal.

The sensuality and beauty of the film overwhelmed my senses and the music just seemed so well-suited that it all blended. The CD made me aware that the smooth sensuous sounds had just washed over me while I was entranced in the film. They still do everytime I listen. The music even without the film works beautifully.

Give a listen yourself and feel the seduction.

*Enchanting*.......2001-10-11

Very smooth, sensual music. For those that saw the movie you will feel like you are right there in Cuba with Julia and Louis. Great for relieveing stress and putting you in a seductive state of mind. Definately a Great buy!

simply Beautiful.......2001-10-09

I've seen the movie and fell in love with the music. This is a warm, sensual composition that makes you want to be in a southern country relaxing by the beach. No big complex orchestration, just plaisant and simple melodies that makes your mind escape to a another world. Definitly a must buy for fans of carefuly composed scores.

Sensual!!.......2001-08-14
