The opening cut by this long overdue release from electronica second runners Fluke does its best to sound like 1999 Prodigy with its dark rock vocals and gritty breakbeats. A little investigation reveals that much of this album was in fact, first recorded as a set of demos, entitled Xmas Demos in, you guessed it, 1999. Fortunately, Fluke doesn’t simply mimic the Prodigy’s platinum-selling template, although very little of this album feels modern by any stretch. In fact, Fluke seems to have dug farther back, staying true to the trance-inducing sound of early rave music on dance thumpers like “Another Kind of Blue” and “Hang Tough,” which seamlessly blend together à la DJ mix. Additionally, occasional vocalist John Fugler goes even farther back, with a tone and cadence that points to old industrial acts, most obviously Nine Inch Nails, although without the scream in Trent Reznor’s patented scream/moan dynamic. Fluke will shoot for the sky at times, with closer “Blue Sky” incorporating an entire choir on the chorus, although its effectiveness will depend on where your histrionics threshold lies. Of course, the notion that two studio boffins can produce overwhelming sonic crescendos via their computers is by now a well-established fact, hardly worthy of a double take. The real test will be when NIN and the Prodigy release new albums, and we can then see where (and if) the true players will take their sound, and if Fluke can keep up. ~ Joshua Glazer, Rovi Performers: Vicki Couchman – Alphorn; Aitch McRobbie – Vocals (Background); Chris Ballin – Vocals (Background); Claudia Fontaine – Vocals (Background); Margo Buchanan – Vocals (Background); Rick Washington – Vocals (Background); Ron Aslan – Vocals (Background); Steve Balsamo – Vocals (Background); Neil Davenport – Guitar

For years, animation buffs have waited impatiently for the Warner Bros. cartoons to appear on DVD. The Warner shorts never commanded the budgets and prestige of the Disney and MGM films, and won fewer Oscars than they deserved. But decades after the best ones were created, they remain the quintessential Hollywood cartoons: brash, fast-paced, aggressively funny and uniquely American. Virtually…

At the Movies [Original]


At the Movies [Original]


$11.18


Lush, heartfelt, and elegant, At the Movies finds smooth jazz saxophonist Dave Koz celebrating his favorite movie themes. Featured here are such classic movie melodies as “Over the Rainbow,” “The Shadow of Your Smile,” and “The Pink Panther” as well as more contemporary songs like “A Whole New World” and the main theme from Schindler’s List. Showcased beautifully throughout At the Movies is Koz’s deftly melodic and supple saxophone sound, which truly evinces his obvious love of film and film music. It also doesn’t hurt that he’s often backed by a full orchestra and big band here, adding to the widescreen, cinematic sound he’s going for. Also engaging are Koz’s guest artist choices, including trumpeter Chris Botti, vocalists Johnny Mathis, Barry Manilow, Donna Summer, and others. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi Performers: Ingrid Bergman – Spoken Word; Bill Meredith – Horn (English); Birch Johnson – Trombone (Tenor); Diane Lesser – Horn (English), Oboe; Joe Passaro – Tympani [Timpani]; Larry Farrell – Trombone (Tenor); Marc Goldberg – Bassoon; Ron Jannelli – Bassoon; Adrian Benjamin – Viola;

The Classics at the Movies: Drama


The Classics at the Movies: Drama


$7.18


Classics at the Movies: Drama collects symphonic pieces associated with a range of film. However, aside from John Williams’ original theme for Schindler’s List, the pieces here are mostly well-known works from composers like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and Sousa that have been grouped according to the film they appeared in — The Truman Show, Dead Poets Society, even Bulworth. Whatever the odd motivation of the release, it’s still a solid collection of orchestral works from some great composers, performed with aplomb by a variety of orchestras or solo players. Of the latter, Norbert Kraft’s classical guitar work on “Romance d’Amour” (from Forbidden Games) is a standout. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi Performers: Slovak Philharmonic Choir – Choir, Chorus; Idil Biret – Piano; Jenö Jandó – Piano; Norbert Kraft – Guitar; Stefan Vladar – Piano; Wolfgang Rubsam – Piano
