Wildly uneven, but some great tracks.......2004-06-05

The idea behind this CD was to show the wide range of musics made and recorded in & around Memphis--everything from country blues to rock to orchestral. Interesting concept, but it makes for a grab-bag collection of disparate elements, and a CD that fairly begs you to make your own mixtape version of your faves so you don't have to sit through the stuff you have no interest in. There are a handful of fabulous tracks: great blues from Moses Williams, Jessie Mae Hemphill & Furry Lewis; a classic 60s garage rock gem; an Othar Turner fife & drum piece. The rest is... erratic & mostly mediocre, and you get the sense you're hearing much of it simply because "it came from Memphis," not because it's good or interesting music. So, in the end, the concept fails as an organizing principle; a lot of these tracks just don't sit well together on the same CD. There's been more than enough music recorded in Memphis to produce a series of CDs, each with its own esthetic & genre, rather than trying to squeeze too many sounds onto a single disc.

Quirky, but worth it.......2002-01-03

I don't know how this CD came to be in my possession but it's one of my favorites. It really has to be heard to be understood because words can't do it justice and it can't be catagorized; there's just such a wide range of styles. . . I can't describe it. Sometimes the CDs that seem like a risk are the best ones out there. This is one of them.

The 80's Send Us, And We GLADLY Receive!!.......2005-11-13

Like, TOTALLY!!

The recognizable & reputable Thump label went the opposite of their norm some 4 years back in compiling a "typical 80's music"-themed disc for fans of the "genre". In an already by-then FLOODED 80's comp. market, the resilient and often bold, daring label just the same decided to proceed with said venture and join the bandwagon. And, heck, for a first time outing, Thump showed they ain't no chump.

The result is a solid line-up of 80's new wave and pop, with the odd inclusion of other genre selections thrown in the mix. There's also a nice, rather steady combination of both highly popular, well-known tunes, along with the quite rare or hard-to-find choices. Dramarama's "Anything, Anything (I'll Give You), The Smiths' "Ask" and especially supergroup INXS' "Burn For You" are traceable to almost no other 'various artists' comp. It's a pleasure to see Thump go the extra effort and dig a bit deep to come up with said gems from the 80's.

Best thing about the tracks featured here is the excellent manner in which they smoothly segue into one another, adding momentum to the following song as the disc rolls on; a trait of Thump's which they've proven to specialize in many times over the years.

All in all, I genuinely offer the comp. a **** for all the above-stated. Would have garnered a 5 had ALL tracks been in their original full-length versions, but the unedited "White Lines", "Nowhere Girl" and once again, especially, "Burn For You" sort of make-up for this, though.

Thumbs up for Thump!
