It can't be said enough: Gomez is probably the most unlikely name for a five British kids who worship Tom Waits and the Grateful Dead. But that's nothing compared to their sound, a growling brand of blues-rock that sounds like it originates on the Mississippi rather than the Thames. The group's previous album, 2002's In Our Gun, was all about experimenting in the studio. Split the Difference, then, is Gomez getting back on track. The band makes a decent attempt to revive the homemade feel of its early recordings, turning up at least two winners in "Extra Special" and "Sweet Virginia," but it seems like a compromise. While the three-part harmonies soar, a distinct lack on inspiration suggests the band would rather have another go at pushing buttons and name-checking Kraftwerk. "We Don't Know Where We're Going" seems to say it all. --Aidin Vaziri

A great indie rock album by Gomez!.......2006-01-07

Gomez's "Split The Difference" is a great indie rock album with a lot of catchy and fun tunes. Tom Gray and Ben Ottewell do a very goob job on the vocals, though they're not perfect. One of them (I'm not sure which one is which) has a really good voice, but the other has a rough voice which is a little questionable. This second singer might turn some people off, but I think you'll get used to him over time. Every song here is very good, and there's also a couple hitworthy songs ("Silence" and "Sweet Virginia" are the most notable). The musicianship is pretty interesting and always catchy - you definitely won't get bored listening to this. If you like indie rock then chances are you'll like this album a heck of a lot. Absolutely recommended!

Highlights include:
"Do One"
"These 3 Sins"
"Silence"
"Sweet Virginia"
"Chicken Out"
"Extra Special Guy"

Don't give up on this CD!.......2005-08-02

I had never heard of Gomez, but one day I happen to come across the group on the internet. I'm always looking for new artists to check out. I love all sorts of genres and artists.

I was curious and looked at Vh1.com and Split the Difference happened to be their most recent effort at the time so I clicked on it and listened to it.

At first listen, I only gravitated to a few songs. I immediately took to "Sweet Virginia" and "These 3 Sins", but not much else.

I decided I wasn't giving it a fair try, so I listened to it again...and again. Slowly, I began to love the CD.

My absolute favorite tracks are: "Catch Me Up" (I really, really love this song), "Sweet Virginia", "These 3 Sins", "Silence", and "Extra Special Guy".

Now I'm really interested to check out their previous efforts to see if I like it as much as Split the Difference.

This is a really solid effort, and I love it!! Definately give it a try.

New and wonderful direction.......2005-05-01

After a few spins, the album grew on me (much like Liquid Skin). The sound is diverse and lovely - and they are amazing live!

Standout tracks are "Sweet Virginia," "Extra Special Guy," "There It Was" and "We Don't Know Where We're Going." It's a great CD.

It takes a few listens.......2004-12-31

Dont give up on it. Much like In Our Gun, it took me a few listens to really appreciate it. To be honest, the first couple listens I really didn't like it and was rather disappointed. Now I am a believer. Gomez is one of the best bands around and gets better with age.

Disappointing.......2004-12-12

Gomez has carved out its niche among UK bands by avoiding the retro pop bandwagon (think Badly Drawn Boy), the electronica bandwagon, and the knob-twitching pop bandwagon (think Radiohead)--heck name your bandwagon and they avoid it, which is good. Instead, Gomez goes for progressive hard rock. At their best, Gomez sound annoyingly like Pearl Jam ("Do One," "Where Ya Going?"). At their worst, Gomez regularly serve up stale riffs and a healthy dose of meandering bull----. I dare anyone to make it through the CD's finale without lunging for the remote and punching mute.

Standout Tracks: None, though if a gun were held to my head, I'd choose "Do One."

Product Description

"Celebrate the Difference" is a kids record about embracing life, awkwardness, fears, failures, victories, and individuality. Produced by Lloyd Maines, it's all over the map stylistically without a care in the world to genre of music. After all, the title is "Celebrate the Difference."

Customer Reviews:

Get Your Goat On............2006-01-10

With lyrics that appeal to young and old, and amazing musical chops that expand the genre of what is defined as "children's music", the energy is amazing from start to finish. You'll be sneaking this one from your child's CD collection when they're not looking, and play it loud and play it proud.

Good for big kids too!.......2005-12-11

Not having kids, I can't speak as a parent. But as a longtime Terri Hendrix fan (and a discriminating fan of great music in general), I love this record. Terri's always had "fun" songs and serious songs on her records, and I've always been partial to the serious stuff but enjoy the fun stuff too because I admire her scope and ability to make you, as she put it in one song, "cry till you laugh." Her kids record is ALL fun, but smart and moving, too. And true to its title, it's all over the place: pop, folk, sing-alongs, techno, country and even a little punk ("Nerves" has gotta be the craziest song she's ever done, and you can tell she had a blast rocking out on it, too.) The whole record plays like a big, warm happy smile. Oh, and if you have kids, I suspect they'll dig it, too.

Love Me, Tracie!!.......2007-01-12

"Love Me" (my fav from this set) alone is worth getting this album.

Strong beginning ("This House") and actually, this album rides right along nicely with "Save You Love", the first single then dips into the sensual groove with "Tender Kisses" without un-packing any dance floor all while making a consious statement about homelessness and interracial dating with the video for "Tender Kisses". "This Time, (Make It Funky)" marks Tracie's 'rapping' debut, but as fun and dancable as the song is, hopefully she won't be doing a Michael Jordan/Baseball move. And of course, we wind down to the "Love Me" which is sure to pack more bedrooms than dancefloors (as it did when I was hanging out listening to R&B with my friends in 1992). The music arrangements alone grab you before being fully embraced by the suductive delivery of Ms Spencer while still a minor. Classic R&B love song!!

Pick this CD up NOW!! Tracies best set yet!!

Back In The Day.......2006-12-31

Before Aaliyah took you back and forth, Brandy wanted to be down and Monica had one of them days, you had two of the best young singers in Tracie Spencer and Shanice. Tracie Spencer clearly had a voice beyond her years, and "Make The Difference" does just that. Standout tracks include the early 90's smash hits "This House" and "Tender Kisses", plus Honourable Mentions like "Love Me" and "This Time Make It Funky". This was the young singer at her best.

Tender kisses!.......2005-08-09

WOW, Tender Kisses was GREATTTTTTTTTTTT! What ever happen to Tracy Spencer? That one song alone, along with the video is the BOMB, diggity! :-)

Tracie was such a role model when this album was released. She had talent and mass appeal. I miss that in today's teen market.
She was an award winning songwriter for the hit single "Tender Kisses" which is still impressive for a young black woman. I loved that song when I was getting tenderly kissed in those days. This album is dated for the most part but the nostalgia factor is high enough for a buy and a listen if you are of those who Tracie moved and got moving back in the early 90's

Album Description

Recorded in collaboration with acclaimed record producer, Joel Dorn, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey's The Sameness of Difference is a living, breathing, pulsating testament to the 12 years that the trio has spent together. It is unquestionably the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey's piece de resistance—a post-modern jazz masterwork. Throughout the album, the band explores their influences, which stretch from cutting edge indie rock to experimental electronic music to classic pop, all the while rooted in an obsession with the modern jazz canon. They offer interpretations of music by Bjork, The Flaming Lips, Charles Mingus, Neil Young, Brian Wilson, Dave Brubeck, The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. Their own material is also well represented, as original compositions, "Santiago," "The Maestro," "Halliburton Breakdown," "Slow Breath, Silent Mind" and "Davey's Purple Powerline" are etched in stone for the first time ever in the studio. The Sameness of Difference was recorded at Sear Sound in New York City. They tracked the album's entire repertoire in one marathon session. As always, it was the group's complete and utter commitment to improvisation and creating in the moment that served as their most reliable muse. And it's in the lineage and spirit of the countless classic jazz records that were recorded in a day's time that The Sameness of Difference resides. The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey performed over 100 dates in 2005, including a tour as the opening act for Les Claypool, appearances at high profile festivals such as the JVC Jazz Festival, High Sierra Festival, 10,000 Lakes Festival and the Iowa City Jazz Festival and numerous headline shows from New York City to San Francisco. They were also voted the No. 2 "Rising Star Electric Jazz Group" in DownBeat's 2005 Critics Poll. They recently made their concert debuts in South America and Europe.

Customer Reviews:

A bit more on the mainstream for Jacob Fred, but still WONDERFUL!.......2006-11-16

This is a knod to some of the more popular songs that probably had an influence on Jacob Fred. As such there are more popular tunes in here, although they are somewhat of a challenge to identify. Electric Ladyland, some Beatles, Neil Young, really a nice selection of tunes from the 60s and early 70s. JFJO is a band that will continue to please a wide range of listeners from the Jamband crowd to the Jazz crowd. This is an excellent compilation of songs, and I am looking forward to hearing their next outing.GO SEE THEM LIVE!

No Sameness in new Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey release.......2005-10-22

When one thinks of Tulsa Oklahoma, a home to modern jazz musicians isn't usually the first thing that occurs. But Tulsa was the breeding ground for The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey. Over a ten year period, the band honed their craft through thousands of live shows and nine recordings.

Their latest release, "The Sameness of Difference", is a quintessential piece of post-modern jazz which plays tribute to a number of influences and mentors. Pianist Brian Haas, Bassist Reed Mathis and drummer Jason Smart have assembled a fantastic mix of originals and covers, each a seamless voyage to places far from Tulsa.

Stylistically, many of the songs on this album reminds me of the moody, sparse European-jazz tinged elements of The Carla Bley Band and some of the early harmonic experiments of Pat Metheny, Jan Garbarek, and legendary bassist Charlie Haden found on a number of ECM releases from the early eighties. Mathis uses octave pedals to create the Metheny-esque soundscapes, losing himself in meditative renditions of Hendrix's "Have You Ever Been to Electric Ladyland" and Neil Young's "Don't Let It Bring You Down". In their more spirited moments, they take on a Chick Corea/Stanley Clarke-type fusion on originals "Santiago" and "Halliburton Breakdown", Mathis and Haas improvising feverishly, trading off high and low ends. Throughout, Smart's drums have a Jack DeJohnette kind of sensibility, using cymbals, high hat, and brushes effectively to fill some of the darker pieces. Producer-extraordinaire Joel Dorn touches up the trio with understated studio effects, unwilling to dilute the pure edginess of the trio.

The only downside to the album for me was the brief time slots allotted for each tune. Playing jazz is a lot like catching fireflies in a jar- the sense of play one has in such an exercise should be prolonged as much as possible before the prey is captured and ultimately released. There were a number of times where it felt like Haas, Mathis and Smart were just beginning to groove on one another, stretching out into uncharted territory when the songs end. Maybe this is a result of the limitations inherent in radio play, or maybe the band wanted to fit as many of their favorite pieces as they could into an hour. Whatever the reason, the short lengths made it difficult at times to feel apart of the odyssey. In many ways, the album is like a cruise ship which docks at several beautiful and engaging ports of call, yet sadly, the travelers have little time to explore what's beyond the facade.

Still, "The Sameness of Difference" is worth several listens. It will remain fresh for years to come while up and comers aspire playing on the same level of craftsmanship as The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey. Perhaps Haas, Mathis and Smart will be the inspiration for younger Oklahoman's playing jazz in the basements and garages of Tulsa, and give the town a reputation for continuing the pioneering musical spirit inherent in jazz's legacy.

The vinyl version is better.......2006-02-19

This is the film version, and it is inferior to the original album release. Often times, soundtrack releases differed from their film versions because composers could tweak passages here and there and get a relaxex, dedicated recording, away from the harsh deadlines of film making. The result was often glorious, as was the case for Jerry Goldsmith's Patton.

Add the famous George C. Scott speeches as prologue and epilogue and you have a classic. But only on vinyl. The vinyl version has better audio quality and is a better performance. It is a shame we are stuck with this dubbed version, which ironically is available on the Patton DVD as well.

Do some research!.......2006-01-14

This is a great CD for collectors. This is the ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK to the film. These arrangements are the ones that were ACTUALLY USED in the film, NOT the ones that were on the album with the speeches. So, if you are looking for the opening and closing speeches, you won't find them here.
Why?
Because there are actually THREE different versions of the score for this FANTASTIC film.
There was another version conducted by Jerry Goldsmith in 1997.
And.... there was ANOTHER one that was recorded in 1970. THAT is the one with the speeches. As far as I know, it has NEVER been released on CD. Hopefully, at some point, someone will see fit to release that version. Personally, I feel those are the best arrangements of the music used in the film. Or, better yet, make a special edition using all 3 versions.
So, you should be HAPPY to have THIS version as well.
By the way, I believe this info is in the liner notes of this CD.

Missed oportunity!.......2006-01-06

While I can appreciate that this release is a very competent recreation of the musical content of the original vinyl, I too was totally dismayed at the absence of Patton's speeches(as delivered by George C Scott) which are virtually inseparable from the music for anyone who owned the original vinyl release.All of which subsequently leaves this release a rather hollow experience.

Two classic scores!.......2005-11-22

This cd includes Frank DeVol's score for the Robert Aldrich classic, "Flight of the Phoenix"; an exciting score for an equally exciting movie. Goldsmith's justifiably famous score for Patton features the original recordings, including the haunting "echoplexed" trumpets. Also, the previous reviewer's one-star rating is rather inexplicable considering this is FILM SCORE release. Why would soundbites from the film be included? Bizarre. All-in-all a great package and a limited edition (only 3,000 copies). Get yours while you can - you won't be disappointed!

Missing the Best .......2005-06-25

This album does not have Patton's opening speech or the closing "All Glory is Fleeting" speech. It misses the two most important segments of the original soundtrack.

Any band that can come up with such fantastic album titles - before this one there was My Pain and Saddness is More Sad and Painful and McLusky Do Dallas - must be doing something right. In McLusky's case, it' really comes down to volume. With the production assistance of Steve Albini, the Welsh trio creates an unholy racket that is more likely to descend into all-out chaos ("1956 and All That") than it is to aim for some kind of melodic stability ("Kkkitchens, What Were You Thinking"). The end result is more sinister than the Darkness, unrulier than Queens of the Stone Age and just shy of the genius displayed on the band's own previous work. -- Aidin Vaziri

on fire.......2006-05-23

never ones to take the easy way out. after releasing what most fans think is their best album ('do dallas'), mclusky made an album that altogether darker in tone. then they split, like you do
so what of it then? like i said altogether darker in tone but gotta admit i prefer it to previous releases, probably for that reason. it's not just that of course. credit must be given to steve albini and the drummer for creating sounds that reverberate, right from the opener 'without msg...'. to be honest where the album falls is on its two 'gentler' tracks 'she will...' and 'forget...' (coincidence? i dunno...). proof that great lyrics and titles are nothing without tha music. highlights for me are 'msg', '...seamus' (and fair play to getting the spelling correct too!), 'support systems' and '1956 and all that'. those of who who are looking for something a bit quieter well, ...look elsewhere. i'll stick to noise pollution, thanks.
sadly these guys are with us no more (there's even a 'best of' - yipes!). which is a shame cos i'd love to see where they went from this record
4.5 stars, round up

I want to travel by X-wing...........2006-03-03

What can you call this? Punk? grunge? Alternative? Rock? Call it frickin' awesome. These lads were recommended to me by some UK rock band called Larp. In their distinct Brit accents they described Mclusky as "F@#$ing Brilliant. Absolutely f@#$%ing brilliant." I was skeptical but picked this album up and was blown away. their choice of wry and sarcastic lyrics are witty and reminiscent of the tv show "the Young Ones". Very British, but not like a mouth full of vinegar and salt. their melodies and tones are rough, almost garage like, off-key, yet builds itself into an harmony so odd or awkward, it's beautiful. The majority of these tracks are strong and driven, like the nails in my coffin. They rock. The weakest song is one in which the band progressively plays lower and lower, as the singer is merely whispering the words, coming to an immediate crash of sound.
This is a great entry by the Brits and worthy of those who have good taste. They're brilliant. Absolutely f@#$ing brilliant.

A Damn Shame!!.......2005-12-22

So, Mclusky imploded shortly after this bombshell was released. Heartbreaking, I say. This band sounded like no other (at least during the past 10 years). Forget the Pixies influence. The Pixies only wish they could match Mclusky's intensity and humor. Let's hope the Falko and Chappelle come up with something as interesting with their new outfits. In the meantime, please run out and buy this disc along with "Dallas". You won't be disappointed. R.I.P. Mclusky!!

McLusky's final album, sadly [4.5 stars]. .......2005-05-03

Apparently this Welsh trio have gone their separate ways (as of early 2005). Damn. One more awesome band goes down the tubes. McLusky have left behind a small but fairly awesome discography consisting of 3 full-lengths (two produced by the immortal Steve Albini) and a few scattered singles and EPs, all of them highly worthy listening.

The Difference Between Me & You Is That I'm Not On Fire (I swear, these guys come up with the best titles) is thus the band's parting shot, and what a blast it is. Not quite in the same league of consistency as 2002's overpoweringly rad Do Dallas, but more adventurous and still brilliant all the same.

There's a darker, more experimental feel this time around. Feedback consumes all on the louder numbers, turning this into a demented, chaotic joyride led by Malkmous' trademark vocals. Without MSG I Am Nothing kickstarts the album with an exotic, snaking guitar line and the chorus "Everywhere I look there's a darkness," infectious as it is menacing. That Man Will Not Hang, Icarus Smicarus, and KKKitchens What Were You Thinking? continue in this manner. Slay!, Falco Vs. The Young Canoeist, Lucky Jim, 1956 And All That, and You Should Be Ashamed Seamus just plain devastate, huge dirty squalls of noisy rawk. Even the prettiest song (She Will Only Bring You Happiness) has the hysterically morbid lyric "Our old singer is a sex criminal." If that doesn't rule I don't know what does.

Alas, not all is bliss. The horn-driven Forget About Him I'm Mint has a great title (as does Your Children Are Waiting For You To Die) but is kind of a throwaway. And the eight-minute Support Systems is a bit too ambitious for its own good. Still, when it's at its best The Difference.. ably represents the best Albini band not actually fronted by Albini. Essential, along with Do Dallas.

It Will Only Bring You Happiness.......2005-02-19

Not as funny or as catchy as "Mclusky Do Dallas" but certainly more evil, and I'll take evil over funny and catchy any day. You wanna know just how evil this really is? The nicest-sounding song on the album contains the line, "our old singer is a sex criminal" and another song is called "Your Children Are Waiting For You To Die." And don't even get me started on "Slay!" The bad vibes start out right from the soon to be classic opener "Without MSG I Am Nothing" and don't let up until "Support Systems" washes them all away with a wall of feedback and the lines "think of death as a medium sized yellow robot." I feel closer to satan just thinking about it.

Their best yet!.......2006-09-07

Wow! I discovered Rescue a few years ago on an A Capella music website. I listened to some sound clips from "The Difference" album and ordered it. It was an instant favorite. I showed it to a good friend of mine, and he walked into his house and ordered every Rescue CD that very night!

I have been obsessed with A Capella style music for most of my life, and have many, many CDs of my favorite groups. Rescue is the best I have found to date. I have yet to hear such perfection from anyone else (Glad, Take6, and Acappella are as good, but in a different way). I would highly recommend "2000 Years Ago" and "The Difference" for anyone interested in Rescue. Their Christmas album is outstanding as well.

The Difference is privileged to have the lowest bass singer in the world (Tim Storms) singing on it. Some of the notes he hits are amazing. All in all, this album is among my top 5 favorite albums of all time, in any genre, or any group. The lyrics are superb, and the harmonies flawless. My advice- buy it and tell your friends!

God bless!

Another great CD from Rescue........2006-07-27

Although they are a hometown favorite for me, I love Rescue's style. There is only one song that I don't love to listen too on this CD. Which makes the CD a very enjoyable experience. I would reccomend them highly.

THESE GUYS HAVE MORE HEART AND DEDICATION THAT ANY OTHERS.......1998-11-04

I got they're demo a while ago. Before there was talk of them getting on relelatoin records. The Cd is good but doen't ever compare to seeing them live. Sweet pete and everyone in the band has so much love of hardcore and detication to what they speak about. If you ever see them in your area you better go watch them or else. XfordX

XXX the demo is better XXX.......1998-10-08

This band took way too long to get this out. I can't believe they waited all those months for P*d to do the cover art. By the way, nice picture. How long did it take to draw that? Whatever. They demo is way better than the CD and the songs that they re-recorded for the CD were not as crisp as the demo version. Great bunch of guys, straight edge hardcore is truly in their hearts and it comes out in their music but I think that this "highly anticipated" album doesn't fulfill it's expectations....not mine at least.
