Reviews X - W, part 1

Yes, I have issues with cataloging my universe. Regardless, more brief notes behind the 'jump'



Fulfillingness First Finale

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Deceptively smooth, the hooks are buried just below the surface. Boogie on Reggae Woman is a great pop song, and the anti-Nixon, You Haven't Done Nothin' was the last straw: Nixon resigned just two weeks later.

Spectacular. Standouts - the spoken interlude in Living for the City, He's Misstra Know-it-all aimed at Milhouse Nixon, Too High, but every song is worth hearing.

Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants

Odd album. Full of portentous instrumentals, apparently a soundtrack to a movie, but the film wasn't released. Apparently it didn't make much of an impression to the world, circa 1979, but to my ears, an interesting, offbeat album. Not to be played frequently, but interesting nonetheless.

Link Wray


Rumble: Best of
Any dude who can publish an instrumental, amplified-guitar record and get it banned in New York City for 'inciting teenage riots' is all right in my book, Mofo Also Link Ray invented the power chord.

Wu-Tang Clan


Enter the Wu-Tang Clan: 36 Chambers
I really need to buy the 'non-censored' version of this seminal album. Probably paid 99ยข for the kid-friendly version. The Wu-Tang ain't nothin' to bleep with.

X

I almost was a roommate of Billy Zoom in Austin, but the Co-op house situation fell apart and eventually became a bed and breakfast instead. Oh well, I only got this X album recently. It rocks by the way.
