======================>>>>>>>> COMPACT HAYHEM PART 1 <<<<<<<<=================
HERE COMES SALVAGION IN THE SHAPE OF MY GUITAR !!!
((())) JIME HENDRIX ((()))
The first in line is mad howling Jimi "gime' more of that guitar" Hendrix.
Jimi's music is the corner stone of todays music (except for house ofcourse).
A man that has become a legend and an example for many artists with his
timeless music.
Jimi Hendrix had always a big passion for music as a kid, so his father Al
Hendrix bought him a cheap guitar.
He learned to play the thing and did some fiddeling round' the town.
After a while Jimi joined the army (I believe as a paratrooper)but the next
year he had to quit because of an injury.
So he picked up the guitar playing again and formed a band, after about 5
years of playing he got discoverd by the bass player of the Animals.
Thats when his career started,
Jimi's career lasted four years (1966 till 1970) and he produced four albums
filled with great stuff.
There are ofcourse more albums of Jimi but they are all made after his dead
they are mostly collections of never finished or unreleased material.
In this case I'm going to review the "Ultimate Experience" CD which is a
compilation of his best stuff.
COMPACT MAYHEM, THE ULITMATE
His career ended tragicly when he took DISK MUSIC MAGAZINE !!!!!!!!
an overdose of sleeping pills.........
Its seems to be the only way to become a legend though (That Nirvana bloke
tried it also but he never got futher then the coma stage)
--- That last sentence was clearly written before the Nirvana bloke took
more drastic actions ( ED.) !

TITLE : THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE ( CORNERSTONE )
PLAYING TIME : 71:58 MINUTES
TRACKS : 20
CONTENTS : ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER | LONG HOT SUMMER NIGHT
PURPLE HAZE | RED HOUSE
HEY JOE | MANIC DEPRESSIONS
THE WIND CRIES MARY | GIPSY EYES
ANGEL | LITTLE WING
VOODOO CHILE | FIRE
FOXY LADY | WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW
BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP | STAR SPANGLED BANNER

CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC |
CASTLES MADE OF SAND |
To be honest with you, this is my first real experience that I have with the
music of Hendrix.
I knew ofcourse some of his songs from the radio and TV and always wanted to
get my hands on his music.
Without a shadow of a doubt its the best CD from the three that are reviewed
in this article.
I was very impressed with which I found on this compilation and surprised to
hear a few tracks that I didn't know came from Hendrix.
One thing must be made clear here, Jimi has done a lot of covering, he has
for instance taken some songs from Bob Dylan.
'Hey Joe' is also a cover although everybody thinks that it originally comes
from Jimi.
His covers however are far more superior then most of the orginals !
My fave tracks are: The Wind Cries Mary, Angel, Burning of the Midlight Lamp
Crosstown Traffic and some others.
All the songs on the CD is still sounding quite fresh for material that is
over 24 years old.
MUSIC : 10 ( Musical value is ofcourse very high )
RECORDING : 7+ ( It simply has to sound old )
OVERALL : 10

THERE STILL MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM......... | READ N' WHEEP

((())) DEEP PURPLE ((()))
Deep Purple is a band from the stoneage (now fat, grey and sweaty old men)
brought together in 90's !
The first idea that came to my mind was, let the past be the past......
Anyway, their single 'Anya' could be heard several times on the Dutch radio
and sounded quite nice for fat, grey and sweaty old men.
So I decided to rent it to check it out.....
DA' CD REVIEW -==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-
TITLE : THE BATTLE RAGES ON
PLAYING TIME : 50:17 MINUTES
TRACKS : 10
CONTENTS : THE BATTLE RAGES ON | A TWIST IN THE TALE
LICK IT UP | NASTY PIECE OF WORK
ANYA | SOLITAIRE
TALK ABOUT LOVE | ONE MAN'S MEAT
RAMSHACKLE MAN |
I know that there are 9 titles in this list and 10 tracks on the CD, so
don't bother pointing it out to me (fellow magazines that is).
All the tracks on the CD are sounding quite good for old veterans of the
heavy rock n' roll.
They managed to get a bit of the old Deep Purple sound back, however the songs
sound a bit polished and more commercial now.
Well, what else could you expect after all these years, the rougher edges are
clearly gone.
My fave tracks on this CD are 'Anya', 'The Battle Rages On', Ramshackle Man
and Lick it Up.
The band is on tour at the moment, so if you want to see Joe Satriani(?),
David Glover and the rest, check out the tourdates on the CD.
You probably are wondering what Joe Satriani is doing in Deep Purple, well
just like in the the old times there was trouble with Richie Blackmore.
Blackmore left the band and the gap is filled for the time beeing by Joe,
on the tour that is.
--- Thanks to our lazy coders, this article is clearly outdated.
Deep Purple are probably at home planning their next reunion (ED.)
MUSIC : 7+
RECORDING : 8+
OVERALL : 8
Everything sounds nice in a studio but I have no idea if they still can
play live.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
((())) GUNS N' ROSES ((()))
A band like Guns N' Roses needs no futher introduction as it is one of the
most popular rockbands of this time.
Their new CD is a mixture of spagetti,obscene language, covers and drugs !
All the tracks on this CD are covers of songs from famous and less famous
groups.
SUCH FUN !!!
DA' CD REVIEW -==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-
TITLE : THE SPAGETTI INCIDENT?
PLAYING TIME : 46:09 MINUTES
TRACKS : 12
CONTENTS : SINCE I DON'T HAVE YOU | BUICK MAKANE
NEW ROSE | HAIR OF THE DOG
DOWN ON THE FARM | ATTITUDE
HUMAN BEEING | BLACK LEATHER
RAW POWER | YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR ARMS
AIN'T IT FUN | I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU
All the songs are ofcourse done in the typical Guns N' Roses style, a lot
of screaming and cursing.
Even the guy called 'Duff' tries to sing some lines, guess what, it even
sounds duf(such fun).
I can not give a real good opinion on this one because most of the covers are
unknown to me.
For the real fans its ofcourse a must..........
I rather had seen a album with orginal material, in my eyes its one of the
lesser albums that the band has produced.
This is what you call COMPACT MAYHEM ---!!!
MUSIC : 7
RECORDING : 8+
OVERALL : 7+
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
((())) STONE TEMPLE PILOTS ((()))
Many of todays groups like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden are responsible
for a new direction in the metal/hardrock.
They all got one thing in common, they all started at the underground club
scene.
When you listen to the new CD of the Stone Temple Pilots, you will instantly
hear where they come from.
Yes again one of those Seattle bands, but holdon STP is not just 'one' of
those bands.
The album does contains some Nirvana and Pearl Jam influence here and
there, they are not copying them.
The "Creep" track is the only one that suffers from a bit to much Nirvana.
DA' CD REVIEW-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-
TITLE : CORE
PLAYING TIME : TO LONG TO FIT ON ONE SIDE OF A 90 TAPE
TRACKS : 12
CONTENTS : DEAD AND BLOATED CREEP
SEX TYPE THING PIECE OF PIE
WICKED GARDEN PLUSH
NO MEMORY WET MY BED
SIN CRACKERMAN
NAKED SUNDAY WHERE THE RIVER GOES
This album is the STPs debut and is almost brilliant, the album contains
absolutly some really great stuff.
Many of you will know the hit "Plush" from MTV where it had quite some
playing time.
There is more where that came from on this album, so go out and buy it.
'Core' has had some really good reviews in many wellknown metal magazines
and I totally agree with their opinion that STP's will go places....
MUSIC : 9-
RECORDING : 8
OVERALL : 9
Okay, that concludes our session for this magazine, see you in another
article !
