GREAT SONGS/ OVERLY EXPENSIVE.......2006-08-15

Great music. Too bad that because it is out of print, they stick you hard and deep in price.

Skip the import.......2005-05-24

I haven't listened to the import, I assumed it was the same as the original, with the usual added tracks. But apparently it's missing songs. I can't imagine why someone decided to leave these songs off, but I liked the two songs that another reviewer says are missing, so I won't touch this ripoff. The original however, listed at the top, is one of the best albums in rock history. I'm not rich enough to pay the hugely inflated price, but I hope someone has the sense to release all the Cat Mother albums on CD at a more reasonable cost. These are some of the best albums you'll ever hear, five stars aren't enough. I've been told they're not to everyone's taste, but if you keep an open mind, I doubt you'll ever regret buying any and all Cat Mother albums. They are up there with the Beatles and the Doors in quality, though quite different in style(s). Someone please release these, I don't care if you remaster them or not. I'm still listening to the vinyl ones I bought years ago, and loving them.

One of the Greatest Rock Albums of All Time.......2005-04-11

Absolutely astounding stuff. Hendrix knew what he was doing when he produced this group. Never get tired of hearing these songs and even though it's over 35 years since they were first recorded, they sound as vibrant and inspired as they were way back then. You won't be disappointed.

Among the best rock music there is.......2005-04-02

All four of Cat Mother's albums are on my list of the best rock music ever recorded (OK, it's a big list). This one isn't their best album, but I still listen to it a lot. I pretty much agree with the other reviewers, I can't wait for the other albums to come out on CD. I'm not sure where they get off charging $80.00, but if the price becomes reasonable, I'm buying them all. If you aren't familiar with them, you're missing out.

Completely agree with Clark B........2003-02-18

We must have the other three albums on CD.
These guys were awesome.

Anne Lindsay composes, plays violin and mandolin, and sings beautifully. Most compositions are her own, but she also does the title track "News from Up the Street", originally written by Dan Hicks. I heard the dark smokey ballad while driving home one dark rainy night, playing on CBC Radio. It's good. She also covers a tune by George and Ira Gershwin. I'll leave it to the music scholars to categorize her music. She's assembled an interesting ensemble. There's a lot going on here.

A perfect example of how multi-dimensional rock can be........1998-07-19

Even though Jerry Granelli is at home in the jazz section of record stores, the UFB (two guitars and one bass) provides a competent framework for blending the sophistication of jazz with the energy and rawness of rock n'roll. From the reworkings of songs by Bruce Hornsby, Thelonius Monk, and Ry Cooder, to brilliant originals like "The Swamp," Jerry Granelli delivers a sophisticated groove that retains a definite grooviness. This CD, along with every other CD that Jerry Granelli has put together, is played with a reverence for the power of swing without allowing it to limit his range of expression.

NOT the full original album.......2007-04-25

This import CD does NOT include all of the tracks from the original Polydor LP album. However the full original was reissued on CD in 1997 on the Polygram label, and while out of print, it's available from Amazon Marketplace sellers at a lower price than the one source listed above for this version.

The Polygram CD gets ***** from me, but this incomplete import version is to be avoided.

Cat Mother was one of the great rock jam dance bands of the late sixties and early seventies. I was a big fan of Cat Mother when they lived and worked out of the Mendocino Coast in northern California. Their live music was always better than their studio recordings. Everybody got up and danced when Cat Mother played! The Street Giveth was Cat Mother's first album, and it was recorded before they moved to California in late 1969. They made three more LP albums on Polydor during their California period, but unfortunately none of them have been reissued on CD.

I included several photos of the band in my book Mendocino In The Seventies, and they are included in the sample photos which you can easily find and view online with a google search on just the two words: Mendocino seventies.

missing tracks.......2006-09-18

ive still got the original polydor vinyl. excellent condition. charlies waltz-written by charlie chin is not included on this cd. neither is "probably wont", "bramble bush", or "track in a". the waltz and probably wont are key omissions. Great album-produced by jimi hendrix. the lyrics to verse one of waltz are:
she stood in the street holding her hat in her hands, i think i understand why shes smilin at me, the whole world can see from the sandals that she wears to the flower in her hair, how shes leading me on with a smile just like dawn, with an eye like a diamond, a walk like a whisper. shes gone.
oh how i cried.........

As the Smoke Twrills from my Head.......2006-08-29

On of my deepest regrets in life was that I sold off a huge portion of my 3000 LP collection - including a mint copy of Albion Doo-Wah! When in the name of G will this ever return on CD?

Cat is great.......2006-03-07

Classic late 60's. I saw this album performed before a Hendrix's concert. They blew me away! Oh, Hendrix was great, but Cat Mother was overwhelming. Great album!!!

Strike A Match And Light Another.......2006-01-15

We got to the show late,made it to our seats in the dark.The opening act was flooding the War Memorial with music I never heard before. A giant screen behind the stage boiled with lava lamp patterns.I was rushing so hard I couldn't move until they were done.After that Jimi, Mitch,and Noel came out and made that Spanish Castle Magic work on us.After the show I wondered "who are those guys" who opened the show. They were Cat Mother & The All Night Newsboys.May, 1969.I bought the album,and I'm looking at my CD of it right now.Not the travesty offered above, but the 11 track original release,every one is a gem.And I've been listening to "Albion Doo-wah" and "Cat Mother" on a CD I had made from a 30 year old cassette.I would not to hesitate to say that Cat Mother is the best band to come out of the 60's, or say that they are the best Rock & roll band ever.Just take tracks 4& 5- to go from an all out rocker like "How I Spent My Summer" to a rare gem like "Marie" is an indication of their unmatched talent and performance. If The Band had someone who could actually sing they still couldn't touch CM. I urge all you Cat fans to write Gordon Anderson at Collector's Choice Music,5225 Wilshire Blvd. Ste. 721 LA, CA 90036, and tell him to get CM out on CD for all of us lucky enough to know them and the poor deprived souls who don't.It is a shame and a sin that CM is in digital limbo.For the record, here's the tracks on "The Street Giveth...and the Street Taketh Away"-- 1-Good Old Rock 'N' Roll 2-Favors 3-Charlie's Waltz 4-How I Spent My Summer 5-Marie 6-Probably Won't 7-Can You Dance To It? 8-Bramble Bush 9-Bad News 10-Boston Burglar 11- Track In "A"{Nebraska Nights} And I think I'll get "Street" in my safe deposit box to keep Karen Lawrence {1994,Blue By Nature} company.If you don't know her, I wouldn't be telling any tales outa school to claim that she is {one of the}best {female} vocalists to rave on R'n'R and belt out the blues that is around today.Just ask RD, he really does know what's best!!

wonderful excursions into pianistic beauty,simple and terse.......2001-09-10

The pianistic vocables is utterly useful here. Finnissy is perhaps the most prolific creator for the piano within eyeshot of the current era. Here interestingly he has surrounded himself with aesthetic purveyors at seemingly opposite ends of the spectrim,however Finnissy in notes and interviews revelas his affinity the dialectic, the opaque distances that co-inhabit the dual enovi between complexity and simplicity. It is not a contentious point, for it's all relative, Although Howard Skempton would disagree I beleive for the ultimate effect, the effrontery purveyed with deeply complex musical lanaguage has entire lifeworld of contents. Well, the wonderful 'Erinicons' of Skempton are here somewhat of a seminal place in his creativity. Whenever an accretion of musical gesture occurs that signals a means of complexity, and here he have thirds harmonic motions, which filled greater surfaces of cognitive spaces, than relatively speaking Skemptons, 'preludes',where the musical import occurs over longer durational lengths, well the entire work, for all of Skempton piano works are short excursions into the poetic.Skempton's voice is taciturn,distant,he allows his music's beauty a mystery which he doesn't place there, or we refuse to see the vision of his subjectivity fully.
Chris Newman was also born of the Scratch Orchestra ambience,the libertarian freedoms conceptual music wrought. He also, although for quite different reasons than Skempton limits his music to two or one voices,also threadbare, and direct, with minimal gestures. Newman's music is more 'dirtied',more like from the pub,intended for discourse,and social intercourse and developed than Skempton's, where in Skempton's we feel and sense the introspection more strongly, pure as spring water, the gentle breeze caressing a window curtain, or the soft falling of snow quietly on the mountainsides, hanging in the cool,forbidding air of the Alps.
Finnissy also joins this aesthetic to this simplicity, however there is always greater incidence and frequency of gesture in Finnissy,his genetic code craves high incidence,forever through composed filled up spaces, Many times quite interestingly he limits his music however to single threadbare lines in the treble voices, with a plethora, an affinity for melodic ornamentation. Something he learned painstakingly from his explorations into the world of folk gestures.
Finnissy's 'Autumnall' is fast becoming one of my favorite works, exploring this threadbare beauty.

dopest group album from detroit ever.......2006-05-28

1st dope track by mastamind since he left esham's natas group, also mc breed is on 6 tracks on the album and breed sound doper than ever. the album production is the bomb by dj lenn swann,dj dez of slum village. this group has many styles and trully represents the west coast sound with a twist.

Weak........2006-05-09

There isn't one single drop of creativity in this album. You've already heard this subject matter hundreds of times and heard it done better: Guns, violence, sex, cars, jewelry, materialism, life-in-the-hood, etc. These guys come off as wannabe 50 Cents or Games. The beats by DJ Lenn Swann sound like an amateurish attempt to copy Dr. Dre's style. Everything about this album feels second-hand and just plain boring. The once great MC Breed makes several appearances here and it's sad to hear him sound so pathetic. I can't believe Mastamind left Natas for these jokers. I recommend "Nofthaworld" by Natas instead of this.

Some Breaking News.......2003-03-01

Align is one of the greatest bands I have ever heard. I support local music scene in Minnesota and I would say these guys are way better any other MN band, as a matter of fact I would say they are better than most MTV rock bands. These guys have everything a good band should have. They have poetic and meaningful lyrics. Their music is uplifting, the beats are great and stick in your head for days. The video for At The Basement Door is tight. My favorite songs off this album are At The Basement Door, Bell Curve, and B.A.M. If they get heard enough Im sure Align could be a big band. Go listen to them and tell everyone you know about them.

Hometown pride!.......2002-08-01

This CD and this band are proof that Minnesota has a healthy and breathing local metal scene. Kudos to Align for gettin it done like so many only wish they could. This band is a welcome change from the manufactured [stuff] that seems to top the charts these days. Align has the talent lyrically and musically and they're not shy about it. I'd like to see this band get big...and I know they will. Keep it up guys!

Some Breaking News.......2001-08-10

Five years ago Align passed through the small town of Pierre, South Dakota and immediately ignited a fan base that still continues to grow. Some friends had booked some no-name band out of Makato, MN to play for a small time local show. We had underestimated this band, assuming that we would get what we had paid for -- which certainly wasn't much. But the moment they started playing, everyone froze. Maybe someone whispered, "WOW. They're really good..."

And they've only gotten better since then. Everything that this band produces appeals to me. These guys work like crazy to create hard edged music that keeps melody in check. It seems that many hardcore bands are so focused on being loud that they forget their talent somewhere along the way. "Some Breaking News" may be the first nationally released album for this band, but these guys are hardly ametures, as one listen to this album will prove. I look forward to future albums from Align. Their sincere and thought provoking lyrics laced with jagged, crunching guitar is a rare find in today's music.
