NEW ARRIVALS: CDs - Mellowhype, Ronettes, Motor City Drum Ensemble & more

ost WEREWOLVES ON WHEELS by Don Gere CD
*** RECOMMENDED "A stoned, country commune, lycanthropic Z-movie soundtrack welding motoric redneck funk with broken eastern promises. Imagine marrying Amon Düül 1 to Sandy Bull in a phoney black mass with Skip Spence and The Godz as bridesmaids."

AMON DUUL II Yeti CD
AMON DUUL II Phallus Dei CD
AMON DUUL II Tanz Der Lemming CD
*** BACK IN STOCK!

FRUIT BATS Tripper CD
*** "More of a solitary pursuit than his previous album, Tripper is a bittersweet meditation on hitting the road, leaving the familiar behind and reinventing yourself -- the album a reinvention itself."

MELLOWHYPE BlackenedWhite LP / CD
*** "Alternative hip-hop featuring Hodgy Beats and Left Brain from the collective Odd Future."

MOTOR CITY DRUM ENSEMBLE DJ-Kicks CD
*** Dood rules so hard. Unbeatable 12"s with ridiculous sonics. This mix is long-awaited! "Look at the opening selections of this mix to get a glimpse of Motor City Drum Ensembles amazing ability to fuse totally disparate sound aesthetics into a coherent whole."

RONETTES Be My Baby: The Very Best CD
*** "With their sweet, polished harmonies, cat-eye makeup and beehive hairdos, The Ronettes added a tough, New York street flavor to the girl group model of the early 60s, quickly becoming Philles leading group."

COLIN STETSON New History Warfare 2: Judges CD
*** "Weaving a flow of arpeggiated swirls & chordal progressions while singing yearning melodic lines through the reed of his horn, Stetson's work is rooted in a pop sensibility, both harmonically and overall song structure." On CONSTELLATION.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS Join Us CD
*** "From inspired electronic excursions to blazing mind-crushers featuring their legendary barn-storming live band...They Might Be Giants is back."
