Last great Travers album.......2007-04-06

I have this on vinyl, been a Pat fan since '78 - I thought Black Pearl was a great record until I listened a little closer. "Crash" is Pat's crossover into the serious keyboard fixation, without losing the great guitar work... I still love his playing, even after all these years.

Great Great Album.......2006-01-12

This is by far the best Pat Travers album ever. I've had this album since college. The songs are almost voodoo blues yet mesmerizing rockers that overlap each other with depth and complexity. The album comes across as intense and dark, but much of this music is melodic and airy. My personal standout here is "Can't Be Right", but every song is fantastic. Pat Travers is a true musician who has stood the test of time. I hope he continues writing such impressive music for many more years to come.

Crash & Burn Cd by Pat Travers.......2005-08-19

Received my item with no problems and the CD was new and sounds great. I appreciated the fact that I could still find this CD. This CD has the title song which was a hit and check out "The Big Event" track

Cole's Gold.......2003-11-09

This one takes the cake. Travers was at his pinnacle with Crash and Burn. Solid rocking guitar work and amazing keyboard work as well, for the underated Ottawa, Canada native. I remember when this album was released, bought it, and brought it with me everywhere I went, turning everyone who listened to it into a Pat Travers fan. Seeing him play these songs live will always be one of my best musical memories.

More Burn than crash.......2002-01-24

Pat Travers is one of the most underrated guitar players, singer/songwriters in the universe. While I feel his best work was to come...the first four tracks on this CD are great and well worth the purchase.

His guitar riffs are varied and show alot of range without dragging on and on like so many axe men of that era. His rough, soulful vocal style fits like a glove.

The foray into jazz/rockish keyboard compositions are but a slight detour from the real strengh of PT...guitar based hard rock!! Track 8 is laughable. Thank god he came to his senses and avoided that light wieght rubbish in future recordings.

Underappreciated is an understaement.......2006-12-31

It never fails, whenever I play this record for anyone into early punk and hardcore they are blown away. Even more so because of the fact that they've never heard of Stranglehold. In the early 80's, Boston became known for some of the fastest hardcore to ever come out of the early 80's American Hardcore scene (SSD, Negative FX, Siege, etc,.). Stranglehold sounded nothing like other bands in the city, if anything they were America's answer to Stiff Little Fingers which is what most poeple I know compare them to. Stranglehold were a phenominal punk band and one of America's best, up there with Deak Kennedys, Black Flag, Minutemen, and Husker Du. Which makes me really sad to know that NOFX played a show in Boston years ago, told the kids how the best band to ever come out of their fair city was Stranglehold and the crowd just looked at each and shrugged, "who?". Incredible band, pick this up, they really were that good.

Album Description

His first solo disc, Metamatic, was issued in 1980 through his own label metal beat, with Virgin handling distribution. With the exception of some bass, the sound was completely synthetic. It became his biggest selling album, featuring the single "Underpass." A livelier album, The Garden, followed a year later. Named after the studio where it was recorded and which Foxx would frequent for the next few years. The opening "Europe After the Rain" is perhaps his finest moment. The Garden also included a version of the "Lord's Prayer (Pater Noster)" sung in Italian to a disco beat! Initial copies came with a booklet entitled Church, complete with Foxx's photomontage images, poems and lyrics. 1983's The Golden Section was one of the few Foxx releases produced by an outsider, Zeuss B. Held. As with The Garden it peaked slightly lower down at 27. If that was a shame, it was nothing compared to the shock of his fourth and final album for sometime, In Mysterious Ways, charting at number 85 on its release in 1985. Two singles featured, both failed to chart despite the usually stunning Foxx illustrations on the sleeve, especially on "Stars on Fire." After this John Foxx vanished, his name bearing 'whatever happened to..' conversations. On the sleeve notes for 1992's compilation Assembly, Foxx hinted he was totally disinterested in the mid-eighties music scene. He spent his time lecturing (helping shoot the video to techno band LFO's debut namesake single), illustrating book covers and collaborated with Bomb the Bass mainman Tim Simenon on the short lived project Nation 12. In 1997 Foxx re-appeared almost as mysteriously as he had disappeared with two new albums: Cathedral Oceans and Shifting City (with Louis Gordon). The former was primarily ambient in nature and namechecked musician Harold Budd who, during an interview, cited Foxx 'a fantastic artist.

Hats off, gentlemen, a genius and his masterpiece........2006-08-21

This dark album explores so many things - ideas, feelings, impressions, lusts, revulsions, private thoughts, private lusts, dangers, dangerous thoughts and obsessions. It is actually the album that that dreary luddite and "Grunge Neil Diamond", Nick Cave, can only dream of making!

I listen to this album. However you could dance to it and even make love to it. The music is modern, uncompromising, colourful, honest, organic and erotic. It is one of the most impressive albums John Foxx has ever made. It is Metamatic's dark, disturbing, cynical and sexily sardonic sister - a sister with her black hair, dark eyes, whitest skin and very red lipstick temptingly dancing in front of us. This is music which needs to be felt in several ways - the poetry of the words must be heard, the poetry of the music must be heard and the sounds must be felt. A album for the brain, emotions, body and hormones .... and subconscious ......

I have rarely heard albums as good as this in my life.

John Foxx is a living treasure. He is the Alban Berg and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina of Elektronica and Techno.

Variations on a theme.......2005-06-28

The last time I listened to John Foxx was The Garden. His cold robotic style and minimalistic lyrics have always been vaguely interesting mainly due to his unique voice. With Crash And Burn John has maintained the simplicity of his early work but has stripped it of some of the charm (if I can use that term). Crash & Burn starts out with some promise. Drive, Cinema & Broken Furniture are very much in the Foxx tradition, but the high points thereafter are few and far between. Lyrically Crash & Burn is a bit weak and their repetition is only interesting when backed by good melodies which is also lacking here. I'm not sure what role Louis Gordon plays in this production but I think John needs a new collaborator.

Like A Bomb.......2004-01-04

The John Foxx of the first Ultravox! record, of the mid-1970s, and the earlier Tiger Lily recordings, is fully present here; the vocal delivery, the music/arrangements, sound and the lyrics still send chills up this spine.

He had something really unique that was let go of when the Foxxless Ultravox had such commercial success in the 1980s. Foxx, too, ventured in a different direction, until the very last glimmer of that decade when he became Nation 12, with Tim Simenon of Bomb The Bass, after living in the U.S. for a time involving himself in Acid/House. Nation 12 released two 12" singles that were fantastic with the same calibre of unusual and evocative artwork that Foxx fans know well! These are nearly impossible to find but well worth experiencing once found.

Crash & Burn continues the Metamatic (1980 first Foxx solo record) feel that many of us missed during the Reagan/Thatcher decade and it is expanded upon because of his collaboration with Louis Gordon, an established artist on his own, which he's had since his mid-'90s "return." In fact Gary Numan also returned in the mid-'90s and both Foxx and Numan continue to get better, which is great!

Even though my favorite on this one is Sex Video, because of its departure from the norm, Dust And Light really stands out for me. It's got the Ultravox Systems Of Romance feel of isolation, exhilaration, (non) participation and sexuality. Ultraviolet Infrared is another that evokes some Ultravox and some Foxx solo, like The Garden and The Golden Section. But only slightly. This is all really new stuff.

A must.

John Foxx still has some surprises up his sleeve.......2003-08-05

I was beginning to lose faith in the Foxx/Gordon partnership as their last three albums were starting to sound a little formulaic and "same-y" (this includes The Omnidelic Exotour where the duo revamped many of Foxx's older songs to match his new sound) but this album shows them branching out a bit more. At first, when the opener "Dive" began, I sighed in frustration. Not at all a bad song, just more of the same. "Cinema" took me by surprise with its distorted vocals and (possibly synthetic) guitar. Other songs feature distorted vocals as well and the synths are also becoming a bit more aggressive calling to mind KMFDM. The ironic "Sex Video" in particular has an interesting rhythm and some pretty industrial sounding synths. The album's one weak spot is the odd "Ray 1/Ray 2" which sounds like the Silicon Teens all growed up. Why it's on this album (or why it was even recorded for that matter) is a mystery since it's so bizarrely out of place. All in all a great effort from a godfather of the synth rock movement.

It's not the good kind of keyboard!.......2005-01-12

Okay, if you are a Richard Band fan, then you probably want this score. But I urge you not to get it. It's awful. It's all synthesized. Which is not a bad thing, but in this case it certainly is. Unless this was selling for 50 cents I would not pick it up. A good kind of synthesized score would be like Terminator 2 or The Killing Fields or John Carpenters music, but this basically is nothing but ambient. None of the music takes any kind of form or shape. It just floats there without going places. There's no discernable movement of any kind. So trust me, I got it for a dollar used somewhere, and I would sell it if I thought I could get anything for it.

Good but dated.......2003-08-21

A range of music styles is mixed, flipped and tweaked by eat static with a sense of fun and energy but the result is now quite dated. It is one for the collection but the cheesy drum-rolls and cliched samples mean you won't play it often or out at a party. It lacks the production qualities and re-listenability of, say, Shpongle's Tales of the Inexpressive which executes similar musical ideas (eg meshing latin, breatbeat and trance) but with much more sophistication.

Oh, the usual cocktail joint..........2002-04-23

This is a great example of how many different styles Eat Static can stretch and bend with their knobs and dials. Almost every type of electronica can be found tucked into the little corners of the various tracks. This effort definitely is more mainstream and happy go lucky than it's predecessor "Science Of The Gods", but there is quite a bit of odd noises and satirical samples wrapped around Merv's rhythmic genius. "Crash and Burn" may be more of a drinker's Eat Static than a thinker's eat static, but even the thoughtful need to have fun from time to time.

Great stuff.......2001-10-11

This album is a lot of fun, a great mix of lounge, pop, techno, world beat, and more techno. I'm addicted!

Synthpop with high class.......2000-01-11

Definitevely this CD single is simply amazing. Although there is only one song played, you hear exciting electronic-pop sounds during all playing time. What I like most is hearing the well combined voice of the woman with the singer. It creates an atmosphere of mistery and expectation. Also the rythms go beyond ordinary pop-music. The guitar strings well performed also add a touch of class and inspiration. This a must-get CD. You won't be dissapointed, ever.

Newer directions for Merv and Joie..........2000-08-10

'Crash and Burn' moves past the abstract noise orchestration that fans may be used to. The tracks seem to play more along the lines of hard lounge than hard trance, making a new step into an atmosphere less about psychadelica and more about sampled out smooth beats layered like a cake. 'Crash and Burn' is a head-nodding dance album, as with ALL Eat Static albums...Buy the album, and, if you like it, check out ELECTRO-LOUNGE. In fact, buy all the Eat Static discography.

Album Description

Musically, "The End Of You" is aggressive and passionate. The songs range from anthems of personal experience and emotional struggle, to political stands taken on the poor state of people and the responsibility needed to make a change. "You can not govern the state if you do not first care for the individual", explains Squidd, C&BC's singer, when asked about the subject matter of songs like "Stand and Count". Indeed there is enough awareness on this aggressive collection of songs to educate the masses, but the real message also comes from the music itself. This trio plays within an inch of there lives and the straight production serves gasoline to the fire. It seems that C&BC's foundation is the friendship of everyone involved. Through the recording and engineering of the records to the record label itself. It is this synergy that will ultimately keep the energy of the music aligned with the audience.
