                 REVIEWS (By Mike Murphy and Todd Neal)
                 _______  __ ____ ______ ___ ____ ____

  Various Artists - Weird Nightmare: Meditations On Mingus
  (Columbia CD CK 52739)

Hal Willner has put together an odd cast of characters to pay tribute to
jazz  legend  Charles  Mingus.    Some  luminaries  from  the  New  York
avante/jazz/noise scene  serve as  a core  group or  house band  for the
project.   Among them are Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, Art Baron, Don Alias
and Michael Blair.   Others who pitch in on various instruments here and
there are Don Byron,  Gary Lucas,  Vernon Reid,  Charlie Watts and Keith
Richards.   Lending their  throats to the project  are Robbie Robertson,
Elvis Costello,  Henry  Rollins,  Chuck D.,  Richards,   Bernard Fowler,
Diamanda Galas and Dr.  John.   The results are often amazing, shrinking
the music  to its essence  and then  expanding freely in  the directions
that  individual performers  pursue.    These  performance combine  raw,
primordial sounds and  feelings with equal amounts of  elegance,  at the
expense of neither.   This is one of  the best releases of 1992.   It is
easily the best compilation album of 1992.  (mm)

  Neil Young - Harvest Moon (Reprise CD 45057-2)

If recent Neil Young noisy,  feedback-laden albums have been your cup of
tea, then you may not care much for his latest.   If you've followed (or
caught up on)  his lengthy career,  then you'll definitely want to check
this out.  Young unplugs a few amps and banishes the feedback to another
world,  which leaves a fairly stark,   barren palette compared to recent
output.   As  in art,  where  a lone leafless  tree set against  a stark
natural background can be utterly beautiful,   so too can Young's music.
Songs  such as  "You  and  Me" and  "From  Hank  to Hendrix"  stand  out
majestically and utterly  unadorned.   Young's proven through  the years
that he can write consistently good  material and that doesn't change on
"Harvest Moon".  Yes, the album lives up to some of the pre-release hype
(ie.  second coming of the "Harvest" album of 1972),  but in addition to
looking backwards, the album also looks squarely at 'now' and also keeps
an eye on the future.  (mm)

  Beat Happening - You Turn Me On (Sub Pop CD SP167)

This band is probably Seattle's best kept secret.   Chances are that MTV
and commercial  radio will  never catch  up with  them.   Calvin's  John
Wayne-like  vocals,   very  deep  and melodic,   just  don't  have  that
commercial ring.    The band  has been  criticized for  being plain  and
simple,  and  maybe it  is,  but  that hasn't  stopped them  from making
wonderful  music.   Calvin  and Heather  alternate  lead vocals  without
losing a step.   On the last  track,  Heather's cool vocals combine with
Calvin's to take  one's ears on a  musical trip that rivals  the journey
your taste buds take when eating Ben  & Jerry's ice cream.   So put down
that NIN and give a deserving band a good listen.  (tn)

  Elmore James - King Of The Slide Guitar
  (Capricorn CD Box Set 42006-2)

This set  shows why  James is such  a huge  influence in  music history.
Performers like Stevie Ray Vaughan have  picked up the mantle that James
left.  The music here is raw and full of power and emotion.  If you want
to learn how to make a guitar cry, give Elmore James a listen.  (mm)

  Andrew "B.B." Odom - Goin' To California (Flying Fish CD FF 70587)

Odom was dubbed "Big Voice" by Jimmy Dawkins. His soulful vocals on this
album will give you an indication as to why.   Crank up the title track,
"Feel So Bad" and "Bad Feelin'"!  (mm)

  Daisy Chainsaw - Eleventeen (A&M CD 31454 0031-2)

Noisy little  album from  Daisy Chainsaw.    They remind  me of  a cross
between L7, Christina Amphlett (Divinyls) and Voice of the Beehive.  The
album seems  a little  diluted compared  with the  5-song EP  "Love Sick
Pleasure" from this past summer.   Two of those tracks appear here,  and
they are stellar ("Love Your Money",   "Pink Flower").   The first three
tracks pick up where the EP left off,  with trashy,  thrashy,  bursts of
feedback-laden noise-with-melody.    The next two  tracks are  where the
disc begins  to feel diluted.  "Hope  Your Dreams Come True"  starts off
promisingly - slower  paced,  but still filled with feedback  and grit -
but towards the end it wimps out.  "Natural Man" is a complete change of
pace, stripped of most of the noise.   It still has a raw feel to it, it
seems out of place and just a little  wimpy by comparison to many of the
other tracks.  After "Love  Your Money" the disc seems to  lose a little
focus (with the exception  of "Pink Flower").  "Use Me Use  You" is more
concerned with mellow ambience.   "The Future  Free" is a short burst of
noisier stuff.   The last  two tracks meander a little too  much - Daisy
Chainsaw seem to be  at their best with songs that  are three minutes or
less in length.  (mm)

  Sonia Dada - Sonia Dada (Chameleon/Elektra CD 61342-2)

Sonia Dada released  the "New York City"  single as a precursor  to this
full length album.  The single has a decided leaning towards a Nine Inch
Nails sort of sound - a touch or two of industrial, a smattering of hip-
hop and a  dose or two of  edgy-pop/dance sounds to make  things all the
more palatable.   The rest of the  tracks vary considerably in style and
effect.   Ordinarily  I consider variety in  a recording a  virtue,  but
Sonia Dada seem to be a little too scattered - there aren't quite enough
threads holding all these pieces together.   A few tracks are slower and
soulful,  a few have  the harder edge of "New York City"  and one or two
are tracks you might expect to hear if Top40 radio programming geeks got
hold of something this interesting and picked the weakest tracks to turn
into hits.  This IS the sort of recording, though, that gets better with
each listen.  Give it a chance.  (mm)

  Th Faith Healers - Lido (Elektra CD 61425-2)

This band hails from Ireland.  Believe it or not, they do not sound like
U2.    They use  a  combination  of male  and  female  vocals backed  by
outstanding bass and guitar riffs.  These range from very tender moments
to blaring  symphonies of  guitar feedback  and reverb  that would  even
please the members of Sonic Youth.  (tn)
