Music Reviews
“Picture This”
Wet Wet Wet
London Records
Grade: B
Wet Wet Wet requires a certain
mood. A little bit of’80s nostalgia,
a spot of bittersweet sorrow and a
touch of wanting for a strong cho
rus.
it s almost as tnough wet Wet
Wet came out about 10 years too
late. The sound is very ’ROs, bring
ing back memories of the Simple
Minds in “Breakfast Club.” It’s not
that hard to get the classic teen angst
film mindset when listening to “Pic
ture This,” although you’re always
at the romantic part of the film,
when Judd Nelson is confessing his
love for Molly Ringwald. Ah, I re
member it as if it were only yester
“Space Daze: the history and
mystery of electronic ambient
space rock’’
Dave Thompson
Cleopatra Records
Grade: A
For the techno-nerd in your life,
there could be no better gift than
Cleopatra’s book and CD set
“Space Daze.’’ Sold separately,
these two reviews tell the story of
rock and roll futurism.
Ambient music is often ignored
by the press because it doesn’t of
fer a personality on which to focus
— like most pop music. Jazz and
classical music often prominently
feature some well-known face or
name. But ambient music perform
ers, in contrast, hide behind the stu
dio control board and anonymous
projects.
Dave Thompson’s history of this
important, introverted music scene
is a hipster gold mine, tracing the
connections between Pink Floyd,
Hawkwind and Jimi Hendrix to
Kraftwerk and the Orb.
Thompson begins his book with
Hawkwind, the legendary band
whose music pioneered scenes as
different as heavy metal, new wave
and raye music. According to the
author, this band began the circus
themed drug scene responsible for
spawning and destroying geniuses
like Syd Barrett.
The best parts of the book are in
day.
The melodies revolve around a
piano, an electric guitar, a drum set,
a bass and a vocalist. Plus there is
usually a brass section (trumpet,
trombone and sax) in the back
the beginning, as the author at
tempts to explain how rock artists
deliberately setting their heads on
fire, antagonizing drug dogs with
subsonics and other weird antics
could all combine to set the tone for
modem rock.
Though the story slows down as
space rock matures and studio re
cluses replace wild hippies,
Thompson’s space-rock odyssey is
still an engrossing read. He leaves
almost nothing out besides the sad
exclusion of New Wave music.
The corresponding CD “Space
Daze” is fantastic.
If you’ve never heard the Ger
man inventiveness of Kraftwerk’s
“Spacelab” played next to the in
tense campiness of Alien Sex
Fiend’s “Mrs. Fiend Goes to Outer
Space,” this album will bowl you
over. Honest.
The strange connections be
ground.
Everything on “Picture This” is
a ballad. From “Someone Like You”
to “Home Tonight” (with an orches
tra), a lot of the songs sound very
much the same.
“Picture This” is not the kind of
music you can consciously focus
on. It’s something to dance (or
rather, sway gently) to; something
to listen to while doing something
else. The gentle melodies are nice,
but not attention-getting.
Sometimes you’ll want to sing
along, like “Julia Says” or the cover
of “Love Is All Around,” but most
times, it is ideal background music
for a romantic candlelight dinner or
a quiet night at home.
— Cliff Hicks
tween airy New Age music and
harsh industrial sounds seem obvi
ous after listening to this Cleopatra
compilation.
Uniquely, all of the songs on this
album are written for a community
of innovators. Even if the average
rock listener never experiences the
power of Gong, Brian Eno or Coil,
a fan can be sure that the music lis
tened to is a direct or indirect result
of these bands. *
The best song on this album,
Eno’s “Here Come the Warm Jets,”
is worth buying the whole compi
lation. This song is a masterpiece,
and its brilliant sound explains the
reason that Eno has been able to
push musicians like U2, David
Bowie and Devo to their furthest
potential.
A couple of the selections on
“Space Daze” are inappropriate. Of
all of Syd Barrett’s glorious cosmic
songs, why was the tame “Lanky”
chosen? There is too much avant
garde jazz inspired music featured.
And the worst song “Psychic TV
andThee Angels Ov Light’s ‘A Star
too Far’” is laughable.
Even so, “Space D'aze” is one of
the best compilations of 1995. For
any electronic music lover, from
Depeche Mode to Ministry to
Mannheim Steamroller, this album
is a necessity.

Wine )
Continued from Page 9
The wine will complement a large
spread of food, which will include
baked brie en croute with sun dried
tomatoes and walnuts, smoked trout
mousse, beef phyllo horseradish spi
rals, chutney chicken skewers, mari
nated mushrooms in red wine and fen
nel, french breads, Napoleon tortes,
mini fruit tarts and creme brulee and
several other dishes.
The Fabtones will provide music
for the event.
Meiers said he would ship the wine
in on a 747 Air France to Chicago and
express it to Lincoln so it arrives in
time for the party.
Others will go to even greater
lengths. Some people have been
known to ship the wine to the United
States on the Concorde to be the first
to have it.
Meiers said there had even been
races from the Beaujolais area of
France into Paris and boat races across
the English Channel to deliver the
wine on time.
Beaujolais is a good wine for
people who like white wine but who
do not like the heavy oak taste of many
red wines, Meiers said.
He said that the cost of a bottle of
the newest wine of 1995 would be
under $10.
Tickets for the event are on sale at
the Blue Heron and Meiers Cork ‘n’
Bottle for $37.50 per person.
