RECORD REVIEWS by DEF KLF from E.K.O. ------------ DINOSAUR jr Where you been Blanco & Negro/Warner I enjoyed very much the previous album from Jay Mascis/Dinosaur Jr ( Green- mind ). So, I expected a lot from this new one. Jay Mascis still sings with his tremu- lous voice, he still plays the guitar roughly. Songs are still very catchy. But two things changed: -That's not as original as the previous album,it is a bit the same thing. -And it seems that Jay M. tried to show he was able to sing loud and play quick but that is not what we want from him, we like him when his voice is near cries and without a noisy guitar. If you liked "Green Mind",you will like "Where you been" but you won't feel the same thing that with "G.M". If you want to buy an album of Dinosaur Jr,buy "Green Mind". But inspite of buying "Incesticide" of Nirvana buy "Where you been". --------------------------------------- JAMES BROWN Universal James Scotti Bros/Phonogram It's been a long time that albums from mister dynamite were not interesting. But it didn't change anything about the soul brother number one. He could do anything except beating his wife, he stayed a living legend. But this time, his new album is worth listening. Six songs were produced by Jazzy B, the man behind SOUL 2 SOUL, so some songs really sound rap. That's why I'm saying this album is interesting in James'career. There are also some songs we think we already know them because it is the same as the one he made 20 years ago. But my favorite song of the album is 7 minutes long and is called "Momemts", it is with soft-african-beats,and James talking like a preacher explaining his confused vision of life. --------------------------------------- RAGE AGAISNT THE MACHINE Rage agaisnt the machine Epic/Sony They come from Los Angeles, and I hate Californian rock bands. Their hardcore fanclub must be skate- boarders, and it really doesn't mean it is a good band. The singer doesn't sing but raps ( so is he a rapper ? ). It sounds a bit like "Red Hot Chilly Peppers", but it is more original, there is no lame-slow-romantic song to do singles for the charts nor macho cliche videos. The album is full of great catchy songs. The band name is good,the leader voice is great. Conclusion: Their " Killing in the name of" song, is fucking good. You need to listen the leader screaming over noisy guitars. FUCK YOU I WON'T DO, WHAT THEY TELL ME... ---------------------------------------
