Free Music Notes for New Wave Halloween
Free Music Review: Twisted Halloween fun!
Hit: 5 Stars
Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Halloween is probably their best entry in that it will have the broadest appeal. A lively party of Halloween-themed music, it swings from the danceable to the dangerous, sometimes with little or no warning.
The tracks include:
The Time Warp--not precisely 80's material, but certainly RHPS's cult following in that decade helped make the song a modern classic.
'Everday is Halloween' by Ministry is the first song of theirs I have heard. It reminds me more than a little of the Art of Noise.
'Devil In My Car' by the B-52s brings their funky-dance floor techno sensibility to Halloween.
Dead Man's Party, a long time Oingo Boingo standard, is my favorite track on the CD.
'Pet Semetary' by the Ramones, is a relatively deep tune, considering their normal repertoire. Good, though.
For those fond of the Meco concept of music, but perhaps thought it was a little tame, MX-80's energetic version of the 'Theme from Halloween' is pleasant filler.
The 'Munster's Theme' is a quick dive into pure silliness, redeeming itself primarily due to its brevity.
'The Creature from the Black Lagoon' is my favorite new discovery (and my second favorite track on the CD), a sophisticated punk tune capturing the flare of 50's music and movies.
'Halloween' by the Dream Syndicate reminds me of another band called Flour, one of my favorite artist. However, I do believe Dream Syndicate is the more well known band. Good tune.
Sonic Youth's 'Halloween' takes the CD out of the realm of kid friendly with the use of the 'f'word, but an appealing track nonetheless.
The Dead Kennedys and the Misfits both provide tracks titled 'Halloween', and both are solid tunes.
Mudhoney's cover of Sonic Youth's Halloween is different enough to justify it being on the same CD.
Roky Erikson, a gothic-punk horror artist and a modernization of Screaming Lord Sutch, lends his talents to wrap up the CD.
A 5 on a 5 point scale, and a 9 on a 10 point scale.
New Wave Halloween Poster
Most holidays exclude somebody--on grounds of religious beliefs, political persuasion, or refusal to eat our fine feathered friends--but not good old Halloween, which has a little something for everyone. The same can be said of this 15-track collection, which spans modern music's sonic and sensory spectrums. It encompasses the noisy and danceable, nasty and nice. Most of the set is given over to party-ready tunes like the B-52's' "Devil in My Car" and the Ramones' "Pet Sematary," but its darker corners offer up a few eerie moments--such as MX-80 Sound's rendition of the horror classic "Theme from Halloween" and Sonic Youth's "Halloween." The disc closes on an appropriately creepy note thanks to horror master Roky Erickson, who spins a cautionary yarn called "Creature with the Atom Brain" that's guaranteed to cause more nightmares than a Milk Dud overdose. --David SpragueAlternative Rock Music CDs
