Why Boris release albums like Heavy Rocks or Pink I'll never know. Their droney, drawn-out, minimalist masterpieces like Flood and Boris at Last: -Feedbacker- are a million times more enthralling.

Asobi Seksu - Fluorescence
My first new release of 2011 so far, even though it's not due out until the 14th of next month. It's pretty damn good i must say, it doesn't quite have the intense wall of sound that was evident on Asobi Seksu and Citrus but the songs and Yuki's beautiful vocals certainly work wonders. There's some nice touches of keyboard in places too that give the songs a nice dreamy feel.

Really? Pink is actually my favorite album by them, though I do like the dronier stuff too.

Back around 1990 I was in a record store & came across a record titled ‘HARD TO BELIEVE - A KISS COVERS COMPILATION’. I had never seen a tribute album so I picked it up & was amazed at the different bands with different styles covering Kiss classics & I loved it. Since then tribute albums have been coming out constantly & there have been a couple of good Alice Cooper tribute albums (Humanary Stew & Welcome to our Nightmare). This past October Mainman Records released a phenomenal 2 disc set titled ‘Remember the Coop’ & this may well be my favorite Alice tribute album to date. The album is full of great tracks including 2 tracks recorded live from Iceland by Alice Cooper Group guitarist Michael Bruce backed by the band Dimma. Bruce & Dimma give us musically very tight sounding renditions of “Under My Wheels” (at the end Bruce sings part of Bowie’s “Suffragette City”) & “My Stars” (which near the end he mixes in a bit of the Stones “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”). The Icelandic band Dimma appears again on the album backing original Alice Cooper bassist Dennis Dunaway on an outstanding version of “Halo of Flies”. What is great about this 2 disc set is disc one is all the Cooper classics & disc 2 is the ‘Killer’ album. The ‘Killer’ disc not only features Dennis Dunaway’s performance of “Halo of Flies” but stays with his family on a couple of other tunes: His daughter Ché Monet does an outstanding beautiful cover of “Dead Babies” which really shows some great vocal talent & his other daughter Renee Dunaway has an unbelievable performance of “Killer” which really needs to be heard. This version of “Killer” is very dark & sounds like something PJ Harvey would have done (thinking of her hit “Down By the Water”) & the wild thing about this version is that Dunaway intertwines Cooper’s “Mary Ann” in with it. Popular underground band Frankenstein 3000 (who seems to make their way onto tribute albums) appear backing singer/songwriter Richard Barone on a great rendition of “Hello Hurray” which screams out “GLAM” & also perform a superb version of “Desperado”. One big surprise on the album is by a band called the Ribeye Brothers as they perform a great version of The Spiders’(Alice Cooper Group’s ex name) single from the 60’s “Don’t Blow Your Mind”.

There really are not any disappointing tracks on this album & a few of the other outstanding tracks are “Is it My Body” by Mutant Monster Beach Party(very crisp & clean sounding with great vocals), “Muscle of Love” by the St.Vitus Dancers, “Teenage Lament ‘74” by the Gin House Bandits (Kind of a Heavy Dogs D’Amour Style), “Big Apple Dreamin’” by Rick Tedesco of the Dennis Dunaway Project, “Under My Wheels” by Blue Fox (kick ass fast paced rock & roll), “Be My Lover” by Scream featuring Slim Cain of Rollins (very cool version with plenty of sax), & a wild version of “You Drive Me Nervous” by the Serpenteens which sounds nothing like the original version until a small hint in the final 30 seconds. Overall, this is a great tribute album & if you are a fan of Alice Cooper then pick this up because you will not be disappointed.
