This latest release is a five song EP that samples just a taste of what a full Malone C D might offer. i a Although her n o t * ? , * 4 f | | f t | l ) last full-length H |0 B * album, Beneath the Devil Moon, was a critical success, by Rosemary Morrow Lucky is only a brief glimpse at her nat ural talent. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough of a listen to truly assess the Atlanta native. Four of the songs are original creations dating from 1987 to 1996, with the fifth being a cover of the Jagger-Richards classic “Wild Horses." Malone has been compared to Sheryl Crow due not only to her looks, but her throaty vocals as well. Like Crow, she’s worked her way up the ranks from dingy bars to sold-out shows. For more than 10 years, Malone has pursued her musical ambitions, after being convinced by the Indigo Girls to follow her dream of performing. For a better understanding of Malone’s music, pick up Beneath the Devil Moon, also on the Velvel label; or 1994’s Redemption Dream on Daemon/hifi Records, called “the most solid uplifting straightforward album” of that year by Cover magazine. 1 P L ive at the F reight & S alvage Rebecca Riots • Trust Fall Records D mm urn mm «iati xomm m m « u v u i .«vaia «m a* an n u lli i mrnnw ''¡m ia » «raraann IwCAVteTOKl IK O IN C E N T E R j now playing REGAL CINEM AS exclusive engagement - no passes - call theatre for showtimes 225 - 5555+4608 w w w .param oun tclassics.com espite the name, Rebecca Riots comes across more like a sun shower than a monsoon. The trio, formerly known as Final Girl, packed the house for an evening of lovely harmonies, crowd-pleasing melodies and good vibes that were recorded last sum mer in the band’s hometown of Berkeley, Calif. These gentle teachers three— Lisa Zeiler, Eve Decker and Andrea Prichett— are not only professional academicians, but true-to- form folk singers. The band takes its name, according to the press kit, from a series of violent anti-tax actions in South Wales in the early 1840s. The successful movement was dubbed the Rebecca Riots. But Bikini Kill they ain’t. This Rebecca is H its from the S ervice I ndustry Plaid Pantry Project • Catnip Records T ruth be told, I had no idea what this Portland-based band was singing about, and I loved every minute of it. Totally nonpretentious and nonintellectual, this is just good old rock music with bitchin’ hooks. This is the second full-length release from the triple P, and well worth your hard-earned cash, especially if you dig alterna-rock. Sounds a lot like the Replacements with a good dose of ’90s confusion. Some of the album reminds me of Queen, other parts sound like the boy band of the moment, Eve 6, which recently played the final show at LaLuna. The guys from Pantry wax poetic about everything from “ Danny Elfman,” to “Abby Road” (sic), to the local concert fest, Big Stink II, tossed together with “Ten Thou sand T-shirts” and a whole bunch of magic. Just because he signed the press release “Luv Dave,” here’s props for the Catnip folks: E-mail them at plaidworks@aol.com for more great local licks. S team , H am am : T he T urkish B ath Transcendental • World Class Records T he Steam soundtrack is everything you’d expect and more. Lush, exotic, and truly sensuous, it could open even the most frigid flower. This is candlelight-and-a-bottle- of-wine time. Won’t you look suave when you pop this into the system as your night of romance envelops you in aural bliss? Yes, suave and sophisticated. Now, if 1 knew anything about world music, I’d comment on the composers or the origins of this or that particular sound, but alas, I’m an ignoramus when it comes to all things non-English. The notes indicate that the score was “influenced by traditional Turk- ish/Ottoman melodies and the trance cere monies of the Sufi dervishes, as well as the cultured Turkish music of the early 1900s and contemporary ambient music." Wow. Several groups that contributed to the score include Transcendental, Agricantus, and Secret; and vocalists Rosie Wiederkehr and Faisal Taher. I also heard shades of traditional Celtic music and tribal African rhythms. Having seen dervishes in action, let me say that this is mind-expanding stuff. Thank goodness that, unlike many similar psychedelic experi ences, the music is not illegal, so you can add this one to your collection. One love.
