Reviewers find new releases creative, worth checking out “good 4 we” D-influence Eastwest Records America D-Influence takes a rich musical tradition and then subverts it without losing sight for a moment of soul’s original function: to express emo tions and a positive outlook on life through music. While techno bands go to synths, drum machines and samplers to im plode energy in the listener’s brain, D-Influence sticks to traditional mu sical instruments. They re-explore the potential of the piano, strings, flute and the saxo phone. Over the solid bass rhythms, these components bring the songs alive. The group’s philosophy: **We...we should find... we should find the time to define what is good for we.” D-influence B just 2 good 2 ignore. —Matthew Grant Top ten reasons to order F Hut delivery W M 466-5533 475-2281 East Campus City Campus 2340 N.48th Street 239 N. 14th Street Delivery or Carryout Dine-Iny Delivery or Carryout Medium Specialty & ■ Medium Beef-Topping Pizza I_ [ i II ©UMPdaMuMnc t/20* can rdtanpMm aka Ij II •son *2on S any any Large Medium ■ pizza pizza Courtesy of Morgan Creek Records “Kowanko” Chris Kowanko Morgan Creek Records First impressions of guitarist Chris Kowanko’s debut album might lean toward condemnation of his singing, but don’t listen to first impressions. His quavering ballads address per sonal ruts and social issues while in voking a variety of moods. Through out the 12 tracks, moods range from the disdain of the narrator in “Wall flower” to a violin and cello celebra tion of the divine in “Love Monster.” After listening to Kowanko, it’s not siuprising to learn that he’s re sponsible for painting the self-por trait on the album cover. “I guess it’s a self-portrait in so much as every work of art is a self portrait," he said. If that’s true, then his whole album is a self-portrait using a varied palate of softly sung yet hard-cutting lyrics — lyrics that slap you on the side of the head. “My House,” a track seemingly innocent, sounds the horn for the homeless and brings to surface a self consciousness most listeners have experienced. “I saw a man face down in the street/It was cold and wet, well what would you think? “I would like to give you more/I heard it’s what we’re here for, but I won’t take you back to my house/ Why do 1 hesitate?” Standing alone, without the music, Kowanko’s poetical self-portrait of lyrics would be worth checking out. As far as the music goes — a superb piece of art Consider adding it to your it your collection. — Jill O’Brien “N.E. 2nd Ave.” Young Turk Virgin Records I have to admit, when I put this CD in, I wasn’t expecting anything at all. Young Turk? From Miami? “A re freshingly raw, bluesy approach to pop music’’? Okay, whatever. Then, the leadoff song-and first single, "The Saddest Song (La Di Da)” jumped out of the speakers and literally changed my mind in about two seconds. It’s a great song — brittle, funky guitar skipping around a chorus so stupidly catchy you have to love it. In fact, I have to say that Young Turk is an unexpectedly great new band. Its music is sloppy, trashy rock ‘n’ roll that for some reason sounds really, really good. I admit thegroup isn’tperfect—at times they sound a little too much like Cinderella or one of those late-80’s glam-blues-metal outfits no (me re members, but then out comes some great, drunken melody line or sloppy guitar lick that reminds you Young Turk is unique. A lot of credit goes to the lead vocalist RhettO’Neil. You never know what sound is going to come out of his mouth. He goes from nicotine-scratched mumbles to a playful falsetto, roars like Tom Waits and screams like Axl Rose. On Til Be Around,” hearing him spit out the line "She make a libby, libby chicken gumbo soup in the kitchen” is reason enough to buy "N.E. 2nd Ave.” Of course, there’s plenty of other reasons, too. Young Turk doesn’t re ally do anything that hasn’t been done before, but its bluesy, rouglfstyle still sounds like no one else. r - . — Matt Silcock The International , Bazaar Food, Fun, Crafts March 2-3 11:00 a.m. -2:30 p.m. p UNL Nebraska Union City Campus f Join the fun Sample foods See/buy crafts .
