4 out of 5 stars What The Monkees Meet SheDaisy Might Sound Like.......2004-08-19

The disco era may seem an unlikely period for Michael Nesmith, but Mike's ability to adapt showed on his eighth post-Monkees long player as here he gets funkier while retaining the ahead-of-its-time fusion of country with rock/pop, and also adds a new twist in his vocals - when he double-tracks vocals the faux-Micky Dolenz duet illusion comes back in but now he has a real live backing chorus, that includes his sometime co-composer Linda Hargrove, who flesh out some of the material quite well.

The opening track, Rio, is the most famous because it became a hit in Britain and Mike was asked to film a promotional clip for the song; he subsequently used the resulting footage as a proposal for a TV show titled Popclips that after he sold it became MTV. It is a clever fantasy piece whose influence has reached some elements of modern country in songs that ape Rio's groove and aura, particularly Jimmy Buffett's recent foray into Nashville.

Rio's follow-up, Casablanca Moonlight, continues this groove in a spirited dancy number before the album's mood shifts in the serious-toned More Than We Imagine, before the LP's two best tracks come up, the inspired cowboy ballad Navajo Trail - here Mike's backing band sound like SheDaisy to Mike's Nez-and-Micky double tracked vocal - followed by the Gretchen Wilson-flavored fantasy number We Are Awake - keep in mind that Mike hit these grooves before the SheDaisy sisters or Shania Twain were even approaching puberty.

Wisdom Has Its Way is a positive message song in the manner of some of Mike's tracks on The Prison, albiet the groove here is funky and street compared to the celestial aura of The Prison, before Mike kicks in the most disco-esque track of the album in his co-composition with James Mynor, Love's First Kiss.

The humorously frantic The Other Room is typical Nez whimsy and a good way to close out the album, yet another artistic home run for ol' Woolhat that unjustly got overlooked by time.

4 out of 5 stars One of the cosmic cowboy's finest albums..........2004-07-15

This is Papa Nez ten years after the whole Monkees phenomenon broke wide open, and he's about as diverse as anyone can imagine. From the classic "Rio" (which gave him worldwide notoriety in the video field") to "Casablanca Moonlight" with all the elements of what Nez fans have come to expect, this is a fine package of tunes that sounds like it was practically effortless to make some really fine music...perfect to wake up to or if you're sitting at your computer...another couple of great places to start if you're curious about the solo works of the Liquid Paper heir: "First National Band Complete" which includes the 1970 hit "Joanne", the country rocker "Nevada Fighter" and everyone's other Nez favorite "Silver Moon"...or, if you want to hear him in full tilt boogie mode, pick up a copy of "Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma" (half of whose tunes are included in video form on his legendary "Elephant Parts" video).
Any of these albums are a great place to discover just how diverse the Monkee from Texas has really been over the years.
Enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars Finally, an eclectic piece of music.......2004-01-24

Boom Boom Satellites have always been this enigma in American culture. I was introduced to them as an opening act during Moby's first part of the "Play" tour -- just before Moby became a mainstream smash. Ever sine then, I have been fasinated by their sense of imagination in where electronic music can go.

This album is no exception. "Photon" offers the same idea of jazz, rock, and hip hop mixed and rolled into the electronic back drop that artists like BT and Moby are famous for. It's a shame that these guys haven't been 'discovered' by an American audience as innovated music makers, but that's what makes them beatiful. If there's anyone who wants to get lost in something "progressive" in electronic music -- this is album is definately it.

    5 out of 5 stars Pop music at its best.......2003-04-14

    This is an incredible album. Takes the best moments in pop music history and melds it together into one hazy, dreamy record. A perfect listen for lazy summer nights.

    5 out of 5 stars Kurt's final Hurrah.......1999-04-03

    This disc is Kurt Heasley's final hurrah. After Eccsame, he began drifting off into 60s surf rock cheesiness. Buy this album and any before it... blow off anything with a later release date.

    Favorites: Day of the Monkey, Kodiak...

    Not quite as good as in the Presence of Nothing but damn close!

    3 out of 5 stars You never know what you're going to get with the Lilys..........1998-12-20

    First it was My Bloody Valentine (In The Presence Of Nothing). Then it was the typical indie sound (A Brief History Of Amazing Letdowns). Then on Eccsame The Photon Band we find out what album was on Kurt Heasley's turntable when he was writing the songs for this CD. It had to have been Pink Floyd's "Meddle". Seems like Kurt goes through phases in music -- and records his version. It's all good because Lilys always make it work. All I can say about these songs is if you liked Pink Floyd's "Meddle" (or just like slowed-down, trippy , experimental music) you'll go for this one. If only Kurt would start listening to the Beatles and the Byrds. No, wait, he must have already started...I just got Better Can't Make Your Life Better. Ahh, what's next?

          Album Description

          Philadelphia's Photon Band return with Oh the Sweet, Sweet Changes, their second full length of '67-to-'69-styled mod-psych pop rock. The sound is more mature, harder and perhaps more urban than the Elephant 6 stuff, no bubblegum here, and perhaps the next evolutionary step. Photon Band fans who are fans of The Jam, XTC and The Who will be pleased. The Photons definitely deliver satisfaction in that department, but there's something else at play too, something intruigingly and uniquely Photonesque. A post-Beatle path similar to the early, socially concious, hard rock of John & Yoko, and even more so, some explored and some not-yet-re-explored early `70s rock iconography in the realm of T. Rex, Status Quo and Small Faces. The Photon Band often evoke that innocent period of American hard rock immediately post Beatles, pre-stadiums, when rock culture was still counter-culture, the medium's message was of new values, anti-materialism, liberation from society's aged contraints and eastern philosophy. Most of all, this record is a rockin' good time. Photon creator Art Difuria formerly played guitar as a key member of The Lilys and Brother JT & Vibrolux. He now attends The University of Deleware where he's getting his PHD in Art History. Art is backed by longtime Photons Simon Nagel on Drums and Jeff Tanner on Bass. Simon and Jeff also helped write some of the album's new songs. Just like the first record, Oh the Sweet, Sweet Changes was recorded entirely on Art's trusty old ¼ inch 8-track (The Frizz Mobile Unit), which first underwent a complete rebuild and tune up. So, now we can hear The Photon Band the way God meant them to sound. The record was keenly mastered by Kyle Stateham of Matador Recording Artists Fuck fame at his Black Eyed Pig Studios in San Francisco.
