‘Smoke’ sizzles despite fillers
Sublime
"Second-Hand Smoke"
Gasoline Alley/MCA
Grade: B+
To the dismay pf&os for decades,
tragic deaths have beeWan intricate part
of the rock music. Few stories, though,
are as tragic as Sublime’s. The band -
with only one decent hit in "Date Rape"
at the time of frontman Brad Nowell’s
death May 25,1996 - wasn’t much of a
force in the music scene despite a
decent following of hard-core fans.
Sublime, however, broke through
with its self-titled release in July 1996,
and since has dominated the charts
with an allegiance of new fans, despite
the band’s inability to tour. Four sin
gles - "What I Got," "Santeria,"
"Wrong Way," and "Doin’Time" -
--
have since earned extensive airplay, as
they feature Sublime’s unique blend of
punk, ska, hip-hop, rock and reggae.
Sublime’s latest release, "Second
Hand Smoke," due out Tuesday, fea
tures songs that span most of the band’s
career, from 1988 to 1996. Included are
the early demos "Don’t Push," "April
29, 1992" and "Garbage Grove."
National Organization for Women sup
porters will be pleased to hear the ska
track "Superstar Punani" and "Chick On
My Tip," the English version of 1992’s
"40 Oz. To Freedom" track "Chica Me
Tipo."
"Romeo," one of the first Sublime
songs ever recorded, was featured on the
"Misfits of Ska" compilation. "New
Realization" is one of the trio’s best
songs ever, featuring Nowell on acoustic
guitar singing about changes in his per
ception of a romantic relationship.
Many of the old songs are the high
lights, but the band also offers some'
new mixes to its classics. The album
opens with "Get Out (Remix)," a new
version of the track featured on the early
pressings of "40 Oz. To Freedom."
However, after some legal troubles with
samples used, the song was taken off the
album. Now, instead of the Jackson 5
interlude, there are some new mixes and
scratches added.
The major problem with this
record, though, is that it has more
fillers than a Sugar Ray album. For
example, "Badfish" and "Saw Red" are
the same album versions from "40 Oz.
To Freedom" and 1994’s "Robbin’The
Hood." Also, we really don’t need two
versions of "Doin’ Time," with these
two tracks encompassing over nine
minutes of space that would have done
such oldies as "Roots of Creation" and
"Ain’t No Prophet" more justice.

With his usual eloquence, Danny Glover 1
plays Judge Tyrone Kipler. Two stars of|g

(“Quantum Leap”), also give brief, fo

With no particularly riveting or m<
orable scene, “The Rainmaker” comes
dangerously close to looking like a made
for-cable movie. Coppola’s best works
(“The Godfather” trilogy and
“Apocalypse Now”) evoked dozens oE j;
