Really-From: tlhouns@PacBell.COM (Lee Hounshell) Perhaps I'm the only KaTe lover out there who also likes Led Zeppelin music, but since no one else has talked about the new LZ boxed set, I thought I'd put in my two cents worth.. I just bought the set yesterday and think its great!! Everything is on 4 CD's (each with 50-60 minutes of music) and it is much better mastered than anything previously released on CD. Apparently, Jimmy Page did the remastering for this set. Most of LZ's work is contained in the set, including a few tracks that were previously unavailable. The set goes for $64 here, and I heartily recommend it for all you hard-core fans. Lee Hounshell

Digitally remastered. >The set goes for $64 here $58 at Tower Records for the time being. Also recently released is the MFSL version of Pink Floyd's "The Wall", around $50. Two Ultradiscs in lift-lock cases with a cardboard case and fold-out lyric sheet. The sound quality is outstanding, but it'll take me a few days more to finish an A/B comparison with the Capitol version. Anybody have a review of the new CD of music from Warner Brothers cartoons from 1936-1952? How about the recent Edie Brickell & New Bohemians album? -dave -- Dave Hsu Systems Research Center, Building 115 (301) 405 6594 hsu@eng.umd.edu The Maryversity of Uniland, College Park, MD 20742-3311 "Wris woo chin dow fip ak," said one teaching assistant [who could not be reached for comment]. - UW-Madison Badger Herald

I have all the albums in one form or another as well as the movie (what self respecting Led Zepp fan wouldn't have the movie?!) and a bootleg called "Going to California". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | John "actually it's Joao with | "Jigging along with the fiddle, | | a '~' on the a" Quintal.| ooh Johnny!" | | u8706672@wraith.cs.uow.edu.au | Kate Bush. | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Disclaimer: I deny ever having said that! - Mother. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Really-From: Jon Drukman <jsd@gaffa.MIT.EDU> The omnipresent Dave Hsu: >Anybody have a review of the new CD of music from Warner Brothers cartoons >from 1936-1952? How about the recent Edie Brickell & New Bohemians album? The Phoenix ran a heartwarming review of Edie Brickell - completely TRASHED the album. Ah, gave me that special glow... Didn't top the recent Melody Maker thrashing of the new Megadeth LP though ("This is Megadeth's 183rd album..." "YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THIS ENTIRE ALBUM SOUNDS LIKE ALREADY...") As for the other disc, that's THE CARL STALLING PROJECT: Music From Warner Brothers' Cartoons. I think you've got the dates wrong, but my CD is at home right now. Anyway, apart from the dodgy sound quality, this disc is a MUST for anybody who grew up watching Bugs outwitting Elmer, or the Coyote having mesas dropped on his head. It's amazing how well the music works on its own. Some of the tracks have sound effects, some have bits of dialogue, but mostly it's just Stalling's frenzied stop/start/turn on a dime zaniness cutting through. The disc has a mix of complete soundtracks and montages of similar themes put together by the producers, Hal Willner and Greg Ford. The "anxiety montage" is particularly cool - that wonderful "teeth chattering" theme is great. This music is light years ahead of its time, and it's too bad that Stalling died before he could be respected as a serious, brilliant composer instead of a "corporate square." He invented the whole "tick" method of scoring for animation, incidentally. The disc has some great behind the scenes moments, including Milt Franklyn (Stalling's erstwhile orchestrator and eventual successor) hectoring a piano player who wasn't getting quite the right feel to a part... -- +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? ---------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | ZIK ZAK - We make everything you need, | | \|on |/rukman | -Fight The Power- | and you need everything we make. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
