((((( NEW ARRIVALS: CDs ))))) Blues Control, Bob Dylan, F'Lips, Mountains, PUTS & more

BLUES CONTROL Puff LP / CD
*** "Blues Control via a postmodern portal; gorgeous sheens of rust that fissure throughout, harmonicas smoke in the distance, guitars splatter, keyboards ooze white hot neo psychedelic lava. Blues Control seem beget from the prominent clang & snarl of Dead C, who was beget by This Heat, who was beget by Faust."

BLUES CONTROL Blues Control LP / CD
*** "Blues Control might just be the missing link between Van Halen and legendary experimentalist Henry Flynt. It’s a hazy, spaced world that exists between fuzzed distortion, jabbering electronics, and a lazy, stay-in-bed psychedelic glaze, with rhythmic keyboards pulsating below. Oh yeah, I gotta mention the humid bikini-vibe that permeates the entire album."

BOB DYLAN Christmas In The Heart CD
*** "The first Christmas album from the legendaryFolk/Rock singer/songwriter -- Dylan's 47th album!"

THE FLAMING LIPS Embryonic CD
THE FLAMING LIPS Embryonic 2xCD+DVD
*** New! Apparently it's a return to form -- no B.S.!

LIGHTNING DUST Infinite Light CD
*** "Amber Webber and Joshua Wells (both of Black Mountain) call upon the powers of classic pop arrangements to deliver a cosmic record, reminding us of the glory days of musical theatre, with touches of Hair, Rocky Horror Picture Show and Tommy."

MOUNTAINS Mountains CD
*** "Four lengthy pieces composed around acoustic instrumentation, field recordings, subtle electronics and live sampling to create an epic suite of sychedelia, Americana and classical minimalism."

MOUNTAINS Sewn CD
*** "Eight tracks that combine live instrumentation (guitar, piano, accordion, harmonica etc..), binaural field recordings and resonant electronic processing to create a beautiful combination of clean crisp texture and warm pulsating harmony."

MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO Devil's Halo CD
*** "The highly anticipated new album from the 10 time Grammy Award nominee."

PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS Carried Away CD
*** "Upbeat, crazy, balls to the wall and ridiculous, Carried Away was recorded entirely on reel to reel with tons of Rock samples, distorted vocals, lots of cussing, drum machines, delays, yelling, the works."

THE VERY BEST Warm Heart Of Africa CD
*** "European production duo Radioclit and Malawian singer Esau Mwamwaya concoct new global pop that lands somewhere between a Michael Jackson break-beat and a dancier version of Paul Simon's Graceland."
