Greenpeace Alternative NRG Hollywood Records No matter who purchases this compact disc, the funds raised will benefit the buyer in the end. In the plethora of compact discs supporting a cause—whether it be AIDS research, women’s rights, animal rights or world hunger — along comes Greenpeace Alterna tive NRG. Alternative NRG (Energy, get it?) is unique in that it is a result of its very cause. The first in a series of Greenpeace Records releases, Al ternative NRG is geared to promote an interest in urgent global envi ronmental issues. In order to start this trend, the CD was mixed and recorded with solar power. This power was pro vided by “Cyrus” — Persian for “sun” — the Greenpeace Mobile Solar Generator. The CD includes live tracks from longtime Greenpeace supporters R.E.M., U2 and Annie Lennox. Environmental gurus Midnight Oil join Sonic Youth, L7, UB40, P.M. Dawn, James, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Soup Dragons, Yothu Yinda and the Boo-YaaT.R.I.B.E. on the album, which also includes a “duet” by Soundgarden and Brian May (as Freddie Mercury turns in his grave). This collection of rap, metal, dance and alternative rock songs will be followed by compilations of country-folk, classical, jazz and comedy artists. Greenpeace, founded in 1971 when it protested against U.S. nu clear weapons testing off the coast of Alaska, has launched several environmental crusades in the past few decades. Now, the 4.5 million members in 143 countries are devoted to securing the environment from nu clear testing and mining, defores tation of tropical rain forests, the greenhouse effect, toxic pollution and the destruction of marine re sources and habitat. Alternative NRG is a rather calm approach at fund-raising, consid ering some of the Greenpeace ad vocates arc very passionate in their pursuits. Funds for the album will go toward these pursuits, specifi cally the search to develop new energy policies with the Energy & Climate Campaign. Power from that big yellow thing in the sky comes in with the Cyrus generator. This 28-foot aluminim box trailer is mounted with an array of 40 solar modules. In order to capture optimum sunlight, the ar ray is hydraulically tilted toward the sun. The energy is collected and stored in two batteries. This energy is converted to 26,900 watts of stan dard AC electrical current, which provides 15 hours of electricity. It’s essentially a solar-powered recording studio. It’s the sun’s gift to music and music’s gift to the earth. Although it would have been better to get tracks not previously released, Greenpeace Alternative NRG is a great CD because of its musical selections. Where else can you get U2 and UB40 on the same release? I mean, it’s worth buying to listen to the happy couple May and Soundgarden do its version of “New Damage.” The most fitting track on this album comes from Disposable He roes of Hiphoprisy with the Greenpeace-ish message “Every day Life Has Become a Health Risk .” Other artists have selected envi ronmental themes for the CD, such as U2’s “Until the End of the World.” The CD comes in a fold-out, colorful, thought-provoking card board “box” to enhance your listen ing pleasure. Save the planet and save your ears. We all live on this Earth and we all listen to music. Recycle your pop cans and use the money to buy this album. A harp seal will thank you. — Paula Lavigne CLASSIFIED 472-2588 “B.FA? B.FD. I’m through with the whole wank-a-rama” REALirr BITES A COMEDY ABOUT LOVE IN THE 90s.
