Jill Tracy's "Diabolical Streak"-- dusty books, melted candles, and all that jazz!.......2007-04-07

I came across Jill Tracy's music in a somewhat unusual way. There's a great syndicated radio show called "Hearts Of Space"-- it's a mix of New Age, World, meditation, avante-garde, and electronic/dark ambience music. The Halloween edition of the show included "Extraordinary", by Jill Tracy-- unusual, as most of the show's music is instrumental only. But that wasn't the only reason "Extraordinary" immediately grabbed my attention. I heard something in that song that I'd begun to think I'd never hear.
Are you unimpressed when heavy metal bands who bang on electric guitars and scream unintelligable lyrics call themselves "goth"? Do you get depressed by the endless abundance of Industrial (meaning, heavily electronic) music you run into when looking for dark or gothic music? Do you think goth music should be about more than that-- that it should, like the subculture itself, be romantic, have a little mystery/elegance, be a bit dramatic, and seem as though it came from a less cynical age? That it should have an off-center, "artsy" feel to it to a certain extent? Jill Tracy has been put into some interesting catagories by people attempting to define her music: "Dark Cabaret", "Jazz", "Lounge", and "Goth" to name a few. Her music fits the personal definition of goth music that I just gave, and if you are of a similar mindset, "Diabolical Streak" could very well be just what you've been searching for.
Besides "Extraordinary", which is a gothic love-song if I have ever heard one, my favorite tracks are.....
"Evil Night Together": It has a very theatrical feel to it-- every song on the album has the sound of being from the score of some macabre musical, but this one takes it farther than the others. It sounds almost cartoonish, really, but the lyrics are so good, and it's just so dang catchy, that I don't mind. A fun track.
"Just The Other Side Of Pain": I can see why some people call Jill's music "Lounge". I can easily imagine this being played as the last song before the smoky little bar closes at 2:00 AM! The first time I heard it, I was singing along with the chorus before it was over.
"Pulling Your Insides Out": Dark jazz. Laid-back. Relaxing to listen to, despite the disquieting lyrics-- she can make anything sound soothing, the way she sings about it. Good for a rainy, gloomy day. Listen carefully for the catchy little bass riff.
Songs that weren't my top favorites, but still worth mentioning...
"Doomsday Serenade": Here's a sweetly sick little ditty about the Apocolypse. Yes, I said sweetly sick, not sickly-sweet. And there's a big difference! To enjoy this track, you need a sense of humor as twisted as... well, as twisted as *mine*, at least. :)
"The Proof": An intriguing song. There's something about her voice, where you just aren't sure whether to take her seriously or not. She manages somehow to sound creepy and cute at the same time.
My least favorite song was "The Fine Art Of Poisoning". I just can't get into it, and I've tried. The lyrics are stupid.
Overall, however, I've just one word for "Diabolical Streak": delightful. And that's not a word I use often these days.
As a side note, there's an alternate version of "Extraordinary" floating around out there. It has a quicker tempo, and has just Jill and the piano, no band in it. You won't find it on the CD, but with some patience and luck, it can be found on LimeWire. You'll know it when you hear it, and it's well worth the search.

What a delicious taste of evil!.......2007-01-15

This is a very interesting CD. I've only listened to it a few times, and have enjoyed it each time, but there is one song that stands out, high and above the rest. 'Evil Night Together' has to be one of the tastiest treats I've listened to in a long time. That song along is worth the purchase price of this CD, and is a MUST for my favorite iPod playlist.

My favorite musical find of the decade!.......2006-05-25

As Edward Gorey is to illustration, as Tim Burton is to film, so is Jill Tracy to music. So much unnecessary crap being created by the corporate machine and force fed to the masses these days- it is wonderful to come across a rare and unique gem like this.
For a man of my dark tastes, this album represents a cultural life line of sorts.

sensationally sultry.......2006-04-16

I can't stop listening to this CD. Jill's voice is so sensual, rich, and mesmerizing, and the mixture of piano, violin, and occasional drumbeat is just so perfect for creating a darkly delightful mood. The lyrics are Edward Gorey meets Dark Cabaret--elegant and witty, not overdone, with a dash of irony and whimsy. Favorites are: "Evil Night Together", "Fine Art of Poisoning", "The Proof" and the others are getting stuck in my head as well...in a deliciously dark way.

Elegant, Enigmatic and Ethereal.......2006-04-12

Jill Tracy's CD Diabolical Streak has filled an empty space in my music collection and my soul. For the receptive spirit, this rich album casts a spell as deep and pathos-full as the surface is shimmery and cool, with a gleam in it's eye and flickering tongue in it's cheek. No doubt, this level of subtlety and sophistication will be lost on many a quick-fix junkie in this era of fast-food and strip malls. But for those who hearken to a place where opium dreams unfold as you lie for hours in the den, sugar water drips in absinthe, and poison takes it's sweet, sweet time, Diabolical Streak is rare a find. I'm addicted.

Satyricon is up to new tricks.......2007-05-25

Satyricon is awesome. this is the first time that I have heard them when they returned to Century Media. they, along with many other black and death metal bands, prove that you don't have to have blast beats to kick butt. maybe I should go to their back catalog and get their other albums. they totally rock!

Super Satyricon!.......2007-01-08

Great heavy punishing album, Very aggressive and dark. Good cd to listen to before you get into kickboxing match. Has K.I.N.G. Video on the disc and lyrics inside w/credits.

Dark menacing and machine-like.......2006-12-17

On Now Diabolical Satyricon continue the trend they begun on Rebel Extravaganza and continued on Volcano. They've simplified their sound even more, stripping away any extraneous components or flourishes, in the process revealing a dark and machine-like structure that if anything makes them more menacing. Now, Diabolical is a focused and relentless grooving wall of clock-work precision that is as intense as it is catchy. Never thought I'd use the word catchy in reference to an extreme metal band but damned if it isn't. It's not that the the songs are simple, key changes, rhythm changes and dynamics abound. But Satyricon use repetition to emphasize those changes and to build tension. There's a certain amount of restraint in this cd. Frost for example rarely plays blast beats but lays down an almost tribal by way of AC/DC thing. Satyr's guitars are simplified and locked perfectly with the percussion which makes for a monstrous unity of sound. Riding over the top are Satyr's chilling vocals. Which I think are the best he's ever done. I suppose one could make the argument that Satyricon are black metal in lyrical content only these days. I prefer to think they are redefining the genre. They've certainly come a long way from their early masterpiece Dark Medieval Times and that's ok as they continue to forge a new, interesting and dark as f*ck direction for themselves.

An Instant Classic.......2006-10-08

Wow, having been out of the black and even metal loop for the last 12 years, I just happened upon the video for K.I.N.G. while surfing channels and found this on MTV2???!!!!

Alot has changed in 12 years.

Anywho, this album is great. Dark, satanic lyrics, many of which have an obvious H.P. Lovecraft influence (references to Beyond the Wall of Sleep and Call of Cthuhlu abound) come blaring out embedded in really raw metal music which recalls the good 'ol days of Bathory, Venom and the likes.

The firts three tracks absolutely kill. The ninth is another great one with blast beats which sound super brutal when contrasted with the slightly more restrained pace on the rest of the album. Every track has something to offer. This has pushed me to rediscover my roots and passion which for many years had me captivated.

Excellent metal album!

Different isn't always bad.......2006-09-01

Since its inception, black metal has been pretty limited. There's old-school black metal like Venom, brutal bands like Dark Funeral, and there's atmospheric/melodic black metal like Dimmu Borgir and Old Man's Child. But that's pretty much it in black metal's variety department. Until now, that is.

When they released their first album in 1993, Satyricon were more-or-less a brutal black metal band (mostly thanks to drummer Frost's blast beat barrages). Boy, have they come a long way since then.

The band's sixth full length release, "Now, Diabolical," is about the closest you'll get to a "Black Album" in this genre. (It even begins with a riff which is almost identical to Metallica's "Enter Sandman"!) Granted, it's a move towards the mainstream (it's even tied with Dimmu Borgir's "Death Cult Armageddon" for the highest selling black metal album ever released) because it's far less brutal than Satyricon's older material. But it's also more unique, creative, and has more individually memorable tracks.

The songs are much more stripped-down and the tempos are greatly restrained. Frost is still the man behind the drums, but he's no longer pounding them with insane speed. He still thumps the skins profusely, but the record's production (and occasionally, as in "To The Mountains," melodic guitar parts) hold them down and prevent them from becoming dominate. Add a bunch of groovey guitar leads and a sporadically audible bass note and you have Satyricon's new sound. The only old-school characteristics that remain here are Satyr's high, snarly/raspy yet still intelligible vocals, and his none-too-subtle (or nice) lyrics (i.e. "We want your head on a plate").

Some of the songs become kind of repetitive and are overly long, but suffice to say, every track here is a keeper. "K.I.N.G." is one particularly catchy number with slowly thumping drums and a guitar lead you just might be tempted to hum along to. "A New Enemy," possibly the record's best cut, begins with a very fast rhythm, but it stops on a dime when a slow tempo change kicks in and tribal drums and other background noise are adopted. Similarly, "The Rite Of War Cross" opens with fast, lurching guitar hooks and propulsive drumming and segues into a section with French horns and soft strings. "Delirium" has a catchy, chugging riff and equally as catchy, stop-start percussion, but the song's main highlight is its very pretty and ambient (almost piano-like) strings. The only straight brutal moment to be found on the album is the closer, "Storm (Of The Destroyer)," which is surprising in its heaviness and is backed by scorching riffs and Frost's relentless double bass hammering.

There is a slight chance that Satyricon changed their sound for this album only, and are planning on going back to their brutal roots for most of their future recordings. But the more likely choice is that the band are trying to more-or-less redefine themselves and will continue in this vein in the future. If that's the case, you should get used to that fact and realize that this sound is even an improvement over their previous ones. "Now, Diabolical" is one of the most streamlined and controversial releases since Metallica's aforementioned disc, 1991's "Black Album," and it thus seems tailor made for diehard fans to yell "sell-out" at. However, those who leave the nitpicking to the black metal purists will find this record is equally as powerful, memorable, and offensive as the band's early stuff, but it also simultaneously manages to be far more innovative.

Album Description

This legendary band's first album, beginning their notoriety with a selection of absolute classics, including the epic 'The Call of the Wintermoon'. This set down the essential Immortal blueprint which they followed on the next three albums: speed on the edge of self-destruction, razor-sharp guitars which bite to the bone, lyrics which illustrated their own icebound world, and a sense of Northern melody which is completely their own. Bursting with Bathory influence, obviously, but still a classic true Norwegian black metal release.

A Glimpse of Greatness To Come. .......2007-01-14

When you hear this early Immortal for the first time, you can hear what was to come in the future. As with all Immortal, this release doesn't have one bad song on it. The sound on this one isn't as killer as the later albums, but don't think it's so bad that you listen to it and can't make out anything in the songs. The logo Immortal had in the beginning was better also, and I think the cover of this one was just plain evil looking. No artwork, but Immortal look like they were in the middle of a dark forest near some gothic looking structure right out of a horror movie set in Transylvania. Important for diehard fans to have and also anyone who wants to hear what this great band sounded like in the beginning.

Great Album!!!.......2003-07-05

Mr. Lucci, as you know is from Dallas Texas and is a friend of Mr. Pookie. This album is great, with Lucci's distintive voice and flow and great beats makes this album a great listen. One problem I have to say is there are way too many interludes ,almost every 2 song is one but thats not a major problem. Also whats great is, there is mostly Lucci rappin and not Mr. Pookie spitting rhymes while Lucci just comes in and raps the hook. I'd grap this one it won't disappoint.

Outta tha home town.......2001-12-03

If your not familiar with Mr Lucci, he's reppin my home town city of Dallas TX. Here in Dallas, Mr Lucci and the Stony Crook family are blazin. Every street and parking lot your cruise on, you are sure to hear some Lucci playin. He's probably one of the tightest lyricist in my opinion, not to mention the fabolous beats produced on this album. So when you get a good production team, and a tight MC, you are guaranteed to have a fantastic album, and thats exactly what this is.

One of the Best of All Time.......2001-06-08

This album is freakin off the meat rack. There is only one song on here that isnt awesome and its #13 Get High Serenade. The Best songs are ,#2,#4,#7,#12,#14,#16,#20. They are the best. The best is #16 Late Night Coastin one of the best tracks of the year. Mr. Lucci can flat out rap. I love this CD. I cant wait fo another Mr. Lucci album and the retun of tha Rippla.

I found Satan at the Rock Show!.......2007-03-17

Its clear that Satyr can write one hell of a catchy rock song. Fuel For Hatred was proof enough. The problem is I don't listen to Satyricon because I want to hear a catchy rock song. Volcano seemed to me the perfect mix of rock and Black Metal - enough groove to shake your booty, but enough strait-hate to thrash to. Now Diabolical just seems to peter out about halfway through. There are a number of great moments on ND but it seems that the album doesnt hold together. A couple of fantastic singles, and then a few damn good ideas. An awesome groove with no real follow through, a great set of lyrics with no riff or music... stuff like that. I just kind of drift in and out as the album plays. So, while Satyr is clearly not washed up, he needs to realize that Satyricon should not ever, ever be a singles band.

Groove Oriented Black Metal.......2007-03-12

In my opinion this is the best release from Satyricon by far. At first there may seem like there's nothing unusual to this album. No experimentation, no real originality, and nothing really revolutionary right? I disagree.

Sure, this old-school approach to black metal has been done many times before, but this is the most entertaning black metal release (other than Enslaved's 'Ruun') in recent memory. Satyricon are returning to their roots with this album, but are doing it with style. Every song is driven by a deep and catchy groove. The riffage on this album is extremely catchy in a Black Metal sort of way, and is done in a very 'less is more' way. The sound to this album is hellaciously heavy, and very accessible. When I say accessible, I dont mean 'mainstream' in any form or fashion, but rather catchy and accessible in a way that only a true Black Metal fan would understand.

Old-School and wonderfully entertaining, 'Diabolical Now' is well worth the cash to anyone looking for just a good, old solid Black Metal release.

Absolutely fantastic.......2007-02-03

I just now put this CD into the stereo. So far, I've only heard the first four songs and I'm extremely impressed. In a word, I'd describe Satyricon as "talented". If it matters, this is the only CD from them I have heard.

The music so far reminds me of early death metal. Also, all of the songs so far have the same tempo. It's a medium-slow tempo. So far, the uniformity of tempo isn't a complaint, but it's odd that all of the songs have an identical tempo.

I definitely recommend this CD for all death metal or black metal fans.

I do not understand why this CD has such a high price. I bought mine used for that reason.

All Hail Satyricon!.......2007-01-18

My first impression of Satyricon's Now Diabolical was "A touch over produced". I have since revised said impression. The production is very clean and though not as raw as say, Volcano from 2002, this is a solid release. Upon subsequent listening I have found myself falling into the groove oriented song structure and bobbing my head to the massive riffing as displayed on later tracks. The songs Now Diabolical and King even have lyrical content that one can almost sing along to. All in all, this is a very good and highly recommended Black Metal album.

Kick a**.......2006-08-24

This is the first album by satyricon I've ever heard. I just bought it two days ago and on the first hearing of it, it immediately was put in the top favorite music pile of mine. It is not your typical black metal album. Each song on hear is not your usual non stop flail on guitar and drums with indiscernible lyrics. In this album you can actually understand what they say fairly easy. And each song has a real beat to it and it kind of grooves along. Definitely I'm going to check out their other albums. Great buy

The clown prince of hip-hop, Biz Markie disappeared into obscurity just a couple of years after this album was released, in large part owing to a legal battle. Hip-hop has lacked for Biz's absence (except for his occasional appearance on a Beastie Boys or De La Soul track), and this album is the reason. Biz had some serious skills (listen to the rap he busts out with on the hilarious "Mudd Foot"), but he usually shelved them for a deliberate, toned-down delivery punctuated by an affected stutter. His lyrics tend toward high-school-level humor, and his production may often be minimal, but Biz's best work--including the bulk of this CD--communicates a joy that hip-hop often lacks. --Randy Silver

Customer Reviews:

The Biz never sleeps.......2006-05-04

What can you say about the Biz Markie. He's fat, he's eclectic and his Annonciation is sub par to say the least, but what the Biz lacks in grace he more than makes up for in charisma.

This Elder statesman of the New York Hip-hop scene shows his full lyrical potential on this album. Along with his Cousin who makes up the second half this "dynamic" Duo, Cutmaster cool V, the two of them have managed to produce an album of quality beats, catchy hooks and sometimes hilarious rhymes. Think Tribe Called quest meets Fat Albert and the Gang (which insidently is reffered to on the classic tune Mudfoot).
All in all if you dont like the biz's style you'll be more than amused with his choice of subject matter and delivery. A worth while buy.

You can't go wrong with the Biz........2002-01-27

Ok ok ok... I've heard it before from many people, including myself. "Rap isn't my kind of music." And while I admit I am not a rabid rap fan, especially of today's breed, I enjoy this album. Biz knew how to rhyme, he knew how to be hillarious, he knew how to be serious, and God knows he knew how to give shout-outs (as he did on every track of this album). Ok, so the last part may make him seem a bit pretentious... but do not let that get in the way. This album is great... a good antithesis to today's style of rap. Biz raps about Springtime, body odors, "friends", as well as anti-drugs. No egotistical sexism, no racism, and no excessive, boring curising. Great rhymes. So if you ever get the chance to run across this album, give it a spin... you may find it quite enjoyable.
