Music Panther Prints Reviews Banco de Gaia Maya (Attic Records) Wow! Cool! I am totally in love with this CD! I want to know why I haven’t heard of these people before. The music on this recording is really hard to find on PEI, and I’m really glad that it made its way into the newspaper office and into my waiting hands. It’s the kind of music that you only hear at an ultra-chic dance club, or on a tour of the rave scene in a big city. This is an oversimplification, but the tracks on this CD are made up of two basic parts. First there is an underbeat, consisting of all sorts of digital blips and bangs, which provides a trance feel to each tune. Overlaid are samples from a veritable cornucopia of sources, including everything from asian and arabic choruses to horror films and British wildlife documentaries. This is an excellent recording. It would be a fine addition to the music collection of any alternative dance music aficionado.

Gregory Gray Euroflake in Silverlake Gregory Gray says of his latest album Euroflake in Silverlake, ‘‘Ultimately it’s just really f---ed up pop music.’’ The ultimate question for the listener is which is the more astute description -- ‘‘f---ed up’’ or ’. In Gray’s case, the two terms **pop music’ are interchangeable. This overproduced and nauseatingly pop-like disc is the latest effort in Gray’s decade-long career. Unfortunately, he doesn’t seem to have learned much. Every song is jammed with the 1980s pseudo- reggae brass lines, and Gray’s own insipid lyrics and vocals are reminiscent of Feargal Sharkey. This is fine, except no one likes Feargal Sharkey. He has walked the path of the embarrassing one-hit wonder which Gray should have trod ten years ago.

It’s a full hour of the most mindbendingly stupid music ever recorded. A full hour endorsing nothing but boogie, boogie, boogie. The same riffs and words, over and over again, one song blending hellishly into another, sucking one back to the age of white, sequined leisure suits and bell bottoms and mutton-chop sideburns. Be afraid. Why does disco make so many of us want to kill and destroy and rend and maim? Is it just the clothes, or do the weird repeti- tive synthesized notes subliminally induce murderous frenzy? Actually, the current techno craze is pretty much identical. Current popular techno bands like Rednex and Nikki French can be seen as the bastard children of disco, with better synthesizers and a computer to repeat the lyrics for them (thus saving them the painful wear on the vocal cords encoun- tered by the BeeGees and the Village People). With techno as with disco, I can say only this: kill it before it spawns again. (1) -- T. Drake CAPO Fay "Ss PIZZA & SUBS ~.
