Product Description
Taken from the electronica act's 2004 album of the same name. 'Destroy Rock & Roll' (Radio Edit, Tom Neville Remix, Riton Rerub, Headman Dub) & the album version of the title track, Breastfed. 2005.
Escape from Hellview, Attached at the Hip, Sink into the Underground
Then one day I heard "96 Quite Bitter Beings," from Vol.1. Never had I ever heard such a unique brand of hard rock blended with heavy metal, and I had to pick up an album immediately. I picked up IDR. How wrong I was in my initial prejudice--this band is incredible.
With every listen this album gets better. It is much like watching your favorite movie over and over again, in that you will discover something new each time.
The most surprising aspect of this album is that its lyrics are highly philosophical. For instance, "Plastic Plan" alerts the listener to the current artistic struggles many musicians face within their industry, as they are sometimes forced to alter their visions and directions according to the desires of their label. "Inhuman Creation Station" seems to be about the way all societies, historically, have shaped their people to fit into a certain mold, which they aren't encouraged to break from, and aren't taught to consider objectively. Those who aren't shaped completely have "warped" minds. Those are just two great examples of what can be found on this album. Each track is very deep in its own way, and they all fit together perfectly to form IDR.
I suggest you pick this album up without hesitation. You will not regret it.
Anyway, Meshuggah's "Destroy Erase Improve" is where everything unique to Meshuggah (ie. goofy guitar solos and inconsistent time changes) mesh perfectly, therefore, their best album. When this album is over, you'll be exhausted yet wanting more. Fredrik Thordendal is one of the most unique guitarists in the metal world, as his solos sound like messed up synths, and when combined with Tomas Haake's insane drumming, you've got a formual for nearly unmatched technical brutality. Just listen to classics like "Future Breed Machine" and "Soul Burn," and you'll know what I mean.
Witht the exceptions of "Acrid Placidity" and "Sublevels," the songs on DEI are intense with mellow moments, giving the listener variety. This is a metal album that all fans of technical metal must own. For other great Meshuggah albums, check out "Chaosphere" (which is second only to DEI), "Contradictions Collapse/None," and "Nothing." If any of you like jazz-fusion, please check out Fredrik's biggest influence Allan Holdsworth.
Like his predictable self, that pompous film-snob I Shalt Become is gonna post some stupid comment like "Arrg, Rage Against the Machine sucks" or "You have no neck." Bring it on, loser, the fact that you've been trolling me for about nine months (including the times on MySpace) makes you a pathetic s***bag in the eyes of rational people.
In conclusion, you may think you know heavy, but until you listen to Meshuggah, you are oblivious.

Overall I highly recommend this album to any Meshuggah fan. So do yourself a favor, go out and buy this album now. I guarantee you'll love it. Meshuggah Rules!!
That said, this is a very good album if you like As I Lay Dying, which I must say I do. I find it hard believing that I am saying this, but I absolutely loved the intro and outro. The album in between is strong, typical stuff.
I enjoyed this, and do not regret getting it, as it takes what is typical and does it very well.
That being said, this is a solid debut by an extremely talented metal band. Admittedly, I haven't heard much of As I Lay Dying's stuff, but the little I have heard did not sound at all like anything on Saints. However, any similarities would make sense considering that Tim Lambesis (As I Lay Dying's vocalist) did some additional production on the album. I would also draw some comparisons between Destroy the Runner and their labelmates August Burns Red, with the obvious exception of the singing vocals that are not present in ABR (which is fine by me).
Highlights include: the guitar solo in "Columbia", pretty much all the lyrics, and also guest vocals on "From the Red" by Saosin's lead singer Cove Reber. This is a great metal album, and I especially look forward to what's ahead from DTR.
There are a few interesting bits here and there that lead you to believe that Destroy the Runner are a little bit more than the common breed of metalcore band. They make it clear as day that their lyrics are uplifting as opposed to most other bands (that is, besides Killswitch who write a lot of uplifting songs). Choruses like the one in ""Columbia"" only suffer because you've heard them before--the clean harmonized vocal followed by a growl echoing the last few words; it's become a cliché--and it's a shame because the solo in the song is truly excellent and will get no attention due to the rest of the package being so blasé.
""Saints"" breaks the monotony but only because they stick with the clean vocals and mostly stay away from straight metalcore behavior (besides the part where they inadvertently pay tribute to another metalcore band screaming, As we lay...as we die!). The song is not that impressive but it at least breaks the album up.
Overall the album sounds like As I Lay Dying and Killswitch Engage wrapped into one. Practically nothing new but strong if you want more of the same!
For Fan of: As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, Still Remains
Fortunately, Phil left this band behind to go back to Down. Overall, i'd say finish your Pantera(RIP Dimebag) and Down collection before you consider buying this. Check it out if your a HUGE Pantera fan or if you're on a budget or something, but I can't really recommend this to a casual metalhead.
Most of "Use Once And Destroy" is very fast, but it does sound somewhat like Phil's other band when the tempos slow down. Two examples of this are "The Introvert," which sounds like a "Far Beyond Driven"-era tune, and "Superjoint Ritual," a slower, mostly instrumental track which sports a fairly big groove and blowtorch, jackhammer guitars, could be a b-side from "The Great Southern Trendkill."
"Oblivious Maximus," opens this album, and might be the best song on here. It's completely instrumental and boasts blistering, pounding guitars and drums, as well as a fast tempo change. In addition to the usual high pitched screams, "It Takes No Guts" puts low, constipated bellows on top of more scorching riffs. The walloping "4 Songs" is backed by machine gun drum patterns, and a few of Phil's patented, long shrieks. (It sounds like he just had his wisdom teeth pulled without any Novocaine.) Elsewhere, when "All Of Our Lives Will Get Tired" hits its peak, it's almost deafening, with squealing guitars and vocals, and "Drug Your Love" and "Haunted/Hated" are explosive, pounding squalls of prominent double bass work and fiery, careening guitars.
"Use Once And Destroy" surely won't cater to everyone's tastes. If you don't like melody and harmony deficient music with turbo charged riffs and vocals which could peel paint off of walls, you should not even consider this disc. And if you're a casual metal fan, you might enjoy this album only in small doses. But serious metalheads (like me) and hardcore fans (also like me) will think this stuff is pretty bad ass.
With some more work, this could be absolutely brilliant. TWDY just has to work on their execution and finding a sound that truly defines them.
4/5 stars.
If you are lookin' for soundboard-quality, perfect-fidelity live footage, you ain't gonna find it here. These recordings are definitely low-fi, but they sound fantastic. Some of these shows have circulated on bootleg tapes for some time, but here we have a few of 'em all together in a great lookin' box and extensive history/liner-notes. Fred was the reason the band never really moved beyond "local" status. According to the liner notes, it appears he got sorta bored and wanted to move on. After the band broke up, he and wife Patti Smith both went on hiatus for a fair amount of time.
Is it worth $70? Well, that's debatable. What is NOT debatable is that you have hours of listening enjoyment supplied by the drum-crushing beats that Rock Action Asheton provides (always underappreciated), Fred 'Sonic' Smith's chainsaw riffs, and Scott Morgan's soulful crooning. This is definitely a piece of Detroit history and if you like that style of balls-out garage rock, you found a real gem.
NOTE: The band minus Sonic Smith backed up Iggy on his '78 tour of Europe. Some of those shows are floating around the internet...
If you loved the MC5, this is a no-brainer.
If you listen to Fred Sonic Smith and hear one of the greatest guitarists in the history of rock and roll, this is a no-brainer.
The Second Chance show (disc 4) is worth the cost of the boxset alone.
CITY SLANG from the Second Chance show is worth the cost of the boxset alone.
Can you see where I'm going with this?
How these guys flew under the radar for so long is beyond me.
After I listened to this, I wanted to throw away most of my CD collection, cuz it paled in comparison.
I didn't, of course, but...
In a perfect world, I'd make copies of this and give one to every teenager out there and tell him/her..."This is what rock and roll is all about. You can thank me later."
Think about it...Sonic Smith and Scott Morgan on guitars, Gary Rasmussen on bass, and if that ain't enough, Scott "Rock Action" Ashton on drums.
Turn it up and turn it loose...this is rock and roll at its best!
The earlier recordings sound fine in the car and the later live shows pass audiophile muster. I have to pay careful attention not to turn it up so loud that I fry my Vandersteens.
Built to Destroy (Imported version) maintains that "MSG" sound but explores the popular rock scene of the times, a little more keyboard with Andy Nye. Gary's vocals are right on and Michael's guitar work is brilliant, especially on "Nemo" and Systems Failing.
This is the American version where the entire album was remixed to push it on the charts. As a dedicated early days MSG fan, this mix gets further away from that original heavy european rock sound of MSG. I rank the american version the lowest in the Barden era. Just way too produced. As a former audio engineer, the mix in a way sounds "amatuerish" In addition, I'll never understand why they ever brought in Derek St Holmes in for vocals on "That little devil" - truly a mistake, Gary's version is far superior. He should have stuck with Ted Nugent.
The cover shot is fantastic and a great indication of what Michael would like to have done to the record executives heads that were controlling the bands work. The back cover is a beautiful example of MSG, small stage, beautiful girls and rockin' music.
If you are a first time MSG listener, go for MSG and MSGII, look for the live EP for the original MSG, it has Armed and Ready and Into the Arena live. That was my first introduction to MSG and is "The sound"
Get Built to Destroy after you're hooked, then you will be able to find those sounds from the early days throughout this album.
Cheers - Mike
One interesting note is that my CD, while it does not contain the original mixes, has "Rock Will Never Die" retitled "Walk the Stage". Having owned the recording on cassette back in 1984, and borrowed the vinyl LP then as well, that retitling made me do a 2nd look!
The trouble lies in the bad production. It is too polished, what would have not been a big problem had it not sounded so lifeless, lacking punch, lacking rawness.
Anyway, for a Schenker fan, it's obligatory acquisition.
Maybe 2 years hence, while on my iMAC, I now have the pleasure of listening to actual music I can now chose, such as under Ambient, and under that, an array of stations from all over, that play the BEST chill/ambient/lounge of which I stay on top of! I heard "Need You Tonight' and saw it was by Mylo, and realized I had passed up a CD that was and is, now, one of the BEST in my collection, since after that, I had to own it!
Mylo, when is there more coming???? Your music makes me happy....cheerful, with hope.
Enter 24-year-old "Myles MacInnes" (aka "Mylo"), who has taken the template of mainstream Dance music, and reinterpreted it, to fit within a retro/electro dance arrangement, that has the distinction of being one of the most accomplished (if not the best) mainstream dance albums of 2004. Mylo makes the wise decision of not loading the album, with hard-hitting dance numbers, and instead fuses smooth electronica, with upbeat-electro & couple of big-beat/techno tracks.
"Sunworshipper", is gorgeous downtempo electronica, that is so simple in its creation, that its a surprise that it works so well. Think smooth & elegant downtempo 'Nightmares on Wax' style electronica, with a looped dialogue sample (which seems to be from either a film or documentary), overlayed, and brought in & out of the mix. it doesn't actually build or climax into anything, but it's simplicity is so beautifully devised, its laughable.
"Drop The pressure", up the ante with full-on dance floor electro, that immediately stands out, due to its catchiness, that throws a hard hitting electro beat, that fluctuates in tempo, with a crowd please dialogue sample of: "mother****ker's gonna crack under pressure". (think prime-era "Chemical Brothers" dropping, a knowingly cool electro-number).
"In My Arms" again moves away from presenting the listening with relentless simplistic & thudding beats, and weaves a hypnotic disco spell chopping up a riff, and rearranging the pieces to form something closer to disco-house/funk hybrid. Joyous, refreshingly different, and above all...funky as hell.
"Musclecars" leaps off the album with another slab of genuinely attention grabbing electronica, a sneaky little electro tune with woo-hoo-hoo-hoos and bleeps that sounds a bit like 'Royksopp', and therefore has that ability, to reach out to a wide audience, with something that seems to chime perfectly with people that don't usually like to electronica/Dance music.
But with this re-released version of "Destroy Rock & Roll", what is new, and indeed different from the previous version, is the addition of a pretty nice Re-working of "Destroy Rock & Roll", and more importantly a bootleg style mash-up of Mylo's own "Doctor Pressure" mixed with Gloria Estefan's 'Doctor Beat' with the Miami Sound Machine. Which is a gloriously cheesy but energetic house track, that fits in perfectly with the 80's dance mood of the album. And it would take a seriously uptight person to not enjoy it for what it is...a wonderfully disposable piece of groove based dance music, that would fill the floor of any downmarket nightclub.
A lot of this album is made up of ideas that in someway either reference, or give a knowing nod to music of a decade or two ago (especially 80's Pop/Rock). Whether it being tracks to owe a little debt to "Prince" ("Guilty Of Love"), or taking retro-dance ideas from "Daft Punk" ("Otto's Journey"), you'll find that although the source material from which the ideas may not be original. It's implementation represents itself in a reasonably innovate & refreshing way, and the electro/house feel running throughout the album is complementary to many moods.
Those that like their dance to be 'Underground' or consider themselves to be 'music enthusiasts', and generally avoid the sort of music, that would classify for 'Radio-play', would do well to give "Destroy Rock and Roll", a miss....and search for something a little more geared, to the 'Niche' market. As "Destroy Rock and Roll", is a mainstream dance album that uses clever stealing of 80's/90's tracks/samples, and subtle electronica to reinterpret those sounds into something more palatable for todays more demanding/discerning listeners. And manages to sit in that category of electronic/Dance albums such as: ("Royksopp's - Melody A.M."), ("Moby's - "Play"), ("Air's - Moon Safari"), ("Daft Punk's - Discovery") & ("Zero 7's - "Simple Things"), as examples of albums that have that seriously broad appeal, and yet still remain fantastically unique albums in their own right.
Mylo's debut cd is a breakaway from the slack the genre contains. Yes, this is commercial music yet it manages to defeat the hypocrite me and soothes my ego with it's ocean of dramatic sound.
"drop the pressure" is the first song i heard from this disc. In a lot of ways, the tracks underline Dj Mylo's ability to bring "non-dancers" off their feet and into a jiving mood. This is a very good cd if you lived in the 90's listening to music like Robert Miles, a bit of Prodigy and some random electronica tracks and always wondering why you never got into the genre.
Destroy Rock & Roll does surprisingly well as it is beyond being judged. "Sunworshipper" , "Drop The Pressure" , "Rikki" and "Need You Tonite" are the best tracks on the disc.
Sunworshipper is the kind of track that you play in the night and wonder to yourself about the artist named Mylo. It is a total zonked out experience mostly.
Need You Tonite has quite a lot of heart and earns respect with more listens. It reminds me of Royksopp's "Sparks" cause it contains a similar wall of sound. It just might be the best track on the disc.
tracks I didnt like one bit include "Muscle Cars" , "in my arms" , "paris four hundred" and the title track, "Destroy Rock And roll"... You see these are filler tracks and one realises this with consequenet listens. These filler tracks are also why I give this 5star album Four Stars. "Otto's Journey" is acquired listening which will make you smile. "Zenophile" is smooth. Emotion 98.6 is almost apologetic and seems to be lacking direction.
So much for my love for Mylo. I loved this cd all in all. Somehow one of the top cds of 2005. Maybe the best despite earning only FOUR STARS. Influences moods easily...
Cheers,Lovers
I'm glad I was given a forum to be able to finally present tracks like "Teenage Whore" to the light of day. The live version of "I've Been So Mad Lately" I do not believe was mentioned in the liner notes as such--is the very first time Bianca ever sang it. We just happened to be recording that day, and I blew my voice out before we got to "Mad" (I wrote it, used to sing it live and I do sing it on the first single). After arguing with Bianca for about 15 minutes where she was screaming "I'm not a singer, leave me alone!!" we finally convinced her to try the song, tape rolling. It was her song ever since. The "take" on Last Call is the second take. The first take is still in my archive, we couldn't include both due to CD-length constraints, but read below...
So many stories to tell on this record that didn't make the liner notes... believe me.
Also know I am working on hopefully releasing my own Bianca tribute in the form of another CD that will be packed with even more interesting stuff than you'll find on "Last Call". My release isn't meant to "trump" "Last Call" but is meant to complete it--to turn it into the 2CD set it should have been in the first place. On this disc I hope to present, among other things in the archive, that first tale of "Mad", the very moment she stepped up to a microphone and started taking prisoners.
I also plan to donate the net proceeds of it to a charity Bianca and I used to do a lot of work for back when we lived together. I'm merely trying to find the initial resources to manufacture it. Wish me luck!
Peace.

Butt Trumpet
Valley of The Dolls- A breezy, down-tempo reinterpretation of The Sandpipers easy-listening hit "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" from the Russ Meyer film.
Sunworshipper- Sample-heavy smooth Jazz cascades over an unknown recording of a presumed former hippie.
Muscle Cars- The pace picks up a bit with this flawless Electroclazh.
Drop The Pressure- One of the album's most popular tracks. A fun, though potty-mouthed journey into Acid-House.
In My Arms- An 80's influenced electro-pop gem combining the chords from Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes" and the vocals from Boy Meet's Girl's "Waiting for a Star to Fall".
Guilty of Love- The Electro-pop theme continues with this quirky though enjoyable masterpiece which combines strings from George Duke's "Guilty"(The title gets its name from a line in the aforementioned song) and a child-like piano melody.
Paris Four Hundred- Fast paced electroclash reminiscent of Kraftwerk.
Destroy Rock and Roll- Title Track in which a conservative cult leader calls out the names of many "devilish" 80's rock musicians over a house beat that uses an inverted section of Steely Dan's "Aja". The spoken-word portion is actually a sample of a recording made by The Church of Universal and Triumphant. Experimental Rock group Negativland famously used the sample on their album "Escape From Noise".
Rikki- Electroclash combining a cut-up female vocal.
Otto's Journey- Daft Punk-esque electro-disco. Used in a Kraft Zesty Italian Commercial.
Muscle Cars (Freeform Five Reprise) - A driving, up-tempo remix with female vocals.
Zenophile- The album switches back to down-tempo territory with this 60's pop-influenced nugget combining a guitar, smooth electro chord progression and a section from Dusty Springfield's "Where am I Going".
Need You Tonite- Revisiting familiar territory with this sample-heavy adaptation of UK pop songstress Judie Tzuke's "Stay With Me Till Dawn".
Emotion 98.6- Moby-influenced fare brings this album to a close.
Definably worth checking out.

Solid State has its As I Lay Dying.......2007-04-21
That said, this is a very good album if you like As I Lay Dying, which I must say I do. I find it hard believing that I am saying this, but I absolutely loved the intro and outro. The album in between is strong, typical stuff.
I enjoyed this, and do not regret getting it, as it takes what is typical and does it very well.
Some corrections.............2007-02-27
That being said, this is a solid debut by an extremely talented metal band. Admittedly, I haven't heard much of As I Lay Dying's stuff, but the little I have heard did not sound at all like anything on Saints. However, any similarities would make sense considering that Tim Lambesis (As I Lay Dying's vocalist) did some additional production on the album. I would also draw some comparisons between Destroy the Runner and their labelmates August Burns Red, with the obvious exception of the singing vocals that are not present in ABR (which is fine by me).
Highlights include: the guitar solo in "Columbia", pretty much all the lyrics, and also guest vocals on "From the Red" by Saosin's lead singer Cove Reber. This is a great metal album, and I especially look forward to what's ahead from DTR.

Destroy the Runner ~Saints~.......2007-01-04
There are a few interesting bits here and there that lead you to believe that Destroy the Runner are a little bit more than the common breed of metalcore band. They make it clear as day that their lyrics are uplifting as opposed to most other bands (that is, besides Killswitch who write a lot of uplifting songs). Choruses like the one in ""Columbia"" only suffer because you've heard them before--the clean harmonized vocal followed by a growl echoing the last few words; it's become a cliché--and it's a shame because the solo in the song is truly excellent and will get no attention due to the rest of the package being so blasé.
""Saints"" breaks the monotony but only because they stick with the clean vocals and mostly stay away from straight metalcore behavior (besides the part where they inadvertently pay tribute to another metalcore band screaming, As we lay...as we die!). The song is not that impressive but it at least breaks the album up.
Overall the album sounds like As I Lay Dying and Killswitch Engage wrapped into one. Practically nothing new but strong if you want more of the same!
For Fan of: As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, Still Remains

Philip Anselmo is the indefatigable frontman for three of the heaviest bands in existence--Pantera, Down, and now Superjoint Ritual, possibly the most extreme of Anselmo's belligerent bands. Unrepentant, unrelenting, long-in-the works songs on this incendiary debut include a 1989 cut about the Manson Family entitled "Creepy Crawl," and the portentous gut-wrencher that gives the band its name, a 23-word ditty that ends with "get killed." Anselmo has created a raw metal onslaught, more punk-thrash brutality and less groove-oriented than Pantera. This hardcore underground supergroup has its moments on the memorable "All of Our Lives Will Get Tried" and the more midtempo, but no less growling and vocally merciless "The Alcoholik." Superjoint Ritual pull no punches and have no remorse, just check songs such as the musically and lyrically blunt "Antifaith," with its chorus "dischord [sic], fear, psychosis, then the grave." Use Once and Destroy's parental advisory is well-deserved, and the disc is a must-have for any fan of underground metal or Superjoint's venerated members. --Katherine TurmanCustomer Reviews:
Not bad, but..........2007-01-07
Fortunately, Phil left this band behind to go back to Down. Overall, i'd say finish your Pantera(RIP Dimebag) and Down collection before you consider buying this. Check it out if your a HUGE Pantera fan or if you're on a budget or something, but I can't really recommend this to a casual metalhead.
Serious metalhead ear candy.......2006-04-22
Most of "Use Once And Destroy" is very fast, but it does sound somewhat like Phil's other band when the tempos slow down. Two examples of this are "The Introvert," which sounds like a "Far Beyond Driven"-era tune, and "Superjoint Ritual," a slower, mostly instrumental track which sports a fairly big groove and blowtorch, jackhammer guitars, could be a b-side from "The Great Southern Trendkill."
"Oblivious Maximus," opens this album, and might be the best song on here. It's completely instrumental and boasts blistering, pounding guitars and drums, as well as a fast tempo change. In addition to the usual high pitched screams, "It Takes No Guts" puts low, constipated bellows on top of more scorching riffs. The walloping "4 Songs" is backed by machine gun drum patterns, and a few of Phil's patented, long shrieks. (It sounds like he just had his wisdom teeth pulled without any Novocaine.) Elsewhere, when "All Of Our Lives Will Get Tired" hits its peak, it's almost deafening, with squealing guitars and vocals, and "Drug Your Love" and "Haunted/Hated" are explosive, pounding squalls of prominent double bass work and fiery, careening guitars.
"Use Once And Destroy" surely won't cater to everyone's tastes. If you don't like melody and harmony deficient music with turbo charged riffs and vocals which could peel paint off of walls, you should not even consider this disc. And if you're a casual metal fan, you might enjoy this album only in small doses. But serious metalheads (like me) and hardcore fans (also like me) will think this stuff is pretty bad ass.

Album Description
The pride of San Marcos, Texas, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU are an instrumental quartet who play a cascading brand of cinematic rock music. "Young Mountain" is their formerly self-released masterstroke, a 6-song, 36 minute composition of aural brilliance that has already garnered an obsessed fanbase both in their home state and in underground circles worldwide. In spite of its previous CD-R-only incarnation, Decoy Magazine featured the album at #5 on their "Top 50 Instrumental Albums of 2005," ranking it ahead of SIGUR R'OS, PELICAN, and other successful modern acts. THIS WILL DESTROY YOU has catapulted quickly to the forefront of American instrumental bands in part due to their geographical lineage. In short, they are the natural progression and modern incarnation of all great Southwestern music from many generations past. Texas is in the blood of these four young men and every note they hang evokes the imagery and feel of traversing the long, lonesome highway of the! Southwest. Bands like THIS WILL DESTROY YOU and EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY have become our new Americana and everyone from T-Bone Walker to Wild Bill Longley are resting more peacefully because of it.Customer Reviews:

Album Description
A lavish 6 Disc box set by one of the most legendary (almost ) super groups of the seventies, featuring Scott Morgan ( Rationals ) Fred ' Sonic ' Smith (MC5) Scott 'Rock Action' Asheton (Stooges) . The only product the band ever released was a 7" Single of "City Slang" ( which was on both sides mono & stereo). The original of which commands ridiculous prices in the collectors field. The band themselves have all contributed as well as the estate of Fred Smith. Contains interviews with existing band members, unseen photographs from Bob Matheu (Creem), Sue Rynski and various shots from the private collection of the band themselves. Due to the lack of material available to date, demand for this box set on the Easy Action web site has been unprecedented. Design of this set is being handled by ex Rhino art director and Grammy award winner Rachel GutekAlbum Details

All Rare Recordings Much Sought after by Both Stooges and Mc5 Fans around the World! also Contains Interviews with Existing Band Members and Writers from Creem Magazine and Others, Along with Many Unseen Photos.Customer Reviews:
Gets Better with Every Listen..........2007-05-29
If you are lookin' for soundboard-quality, perfect-fidelity live footage, you ain't gonna find it here. These recordings are definitely low-fi, but they sound fantastic. Some of these shows have circulated on bootleg tapes for some time, but here we have a few of 'em all together in a great lookin' box and extensive history/liner-notes. Fred was the reason the band never really moved beyond "local" status. According to the liner notes, it appears he got sorta bored and wanted to move on. After the band broke up, he and wife Patti Smith both went on hiatus for a fair amount of time.
Is it worth $70? Well, that's debatable. What is NOT debatable is that you have hours of listening enjoyment supplied by the drum-crushing beats that Rock Action Asheton provides (always underappreciated), Fred 'Sonic' Smith's chainsaw riffs, and Scott Morgan's soulful crooning. This is definitely a piece of Detroit history and if you like that style of balls-out garage rock, you found a real gem.
NOTE: The band minus Sonic Smith backed up Iggy on his '78 tour of Europe. Some of those shows are floating around the internet...
This is Rock n Roll.......2007-05-11
A No-Brainer.......2007-04-23
If you loved the MC5, this is a no-brainer.
If you listen to Fred Sonic Smith and hear one of the greatest guitarists in the history of rock and roll, this is a no-brainer.
The Second Chance show (disc 4) is worth the cost of the boxset alone.
CITY SLANG from the Second Chance show is worth the cost of the boxset alone.
Can you see where I'm going with this?
How these guys flew under the radar for so long is beyond me.
After I listened to this, I wanted to throw away most of my CD collection, cuz it paled in comparison.
I didn't, of course, but...
In a perfect world, I'd make copies of this and give one to every teenager out there and tell him/her..."This is what rock and roll is all about. You can thank me later."
Think about it...Sonic Smith and Scott Morgan on guitars, Gary Rasmussen on bass, and if that ain't enough, Scott "Rock Action" Ashton on drums.
Turn it up and turn it loose...this is rock and roll at its best!
Classic Detroit Rock from the crypt.......2007-01-09
The earlier recordings sound fine in the car and the later live shows pass audiophile muster. I have to pay careful attention not to turn it up so loud that I fry my Vandersteens.
Straight Forward Rock!.......2007-01-03

reminds me of Judas Priest.......2007-05-23
Built to Destroy.......2007-01-21
Built to Destroy (Imported version) maintains that "MSG" sound but explores the popular rock scene of the times, a little more keyboard with Andy Nye. Gary's vocals are right on and Michael's guitar work is brilliant, especially on "Nemo" and Systems Failing.
This is the American version where the entire album was remixed to push it on the charts. As a dedicated early days MSG fan, this mix gets further away from that original heavy european rock sound of MSG. I rank the american version the lowest in the Barden era. Just way too produced. As a former audio engineer, the mix in a way sounds "amatuerish" In addition, I'll never understand why they ever brought in Derek St Holmes in for vocals on "That little devil" - truly a mistake, Gary's version is far superior. He should have stuck with Ted Nugent.
The cover shot is fantastic and a great indication of what Michael would like to have done to the record executives heads that were controlling the bands work. The back cover is a beautiful example of MSG, small stage, beautiful girls and rockin' music.
If you are a first time MSG listener, go for MSG and MSGII, look for the live EP for the original MSG, it has Armed and Ready and Into the Arena live. That was my first introduction to MSG and is "The sound"
Get Built to Destroy after you're hooked, then you will be able to find those sounds from the early days throughout this album.
Cheers - Mike
Dated sound, stellar Schenker.......2005-10-20
One interesting note is that my CD, while it does not contain the original mixes, has "Rock Will Never Die" retitled "Walk the Stage". Having owned the recording on cassette back in 1984, and borrowed the vinyl LP then as well, that retitling made me do a 2nd look!
Half baked effort.......2004-12-10
The trouble lies in the bad production. It is too polished, what would have not been a big problem had it not sounded so lifeless, lacking punch, lacking rawness.
Anyway, for a Schenker fan, it's obligatory acquisition.

What in the Blarney Took Me?.......2007-03-30
Maybe 2 years hence, while on my iMAC, I now have the pleasure of listening to actual music I can now chose, such as under Ambient, and under that, an array of stations from all over, that play the BEST chill/ambient/lounge of which I stay on top of! I heard "Need You Tonight' and saw it was by Mylo, and realized I had passed up a CD that was and is, now, one of the BEST in my collection, since after that, I had to own it!
Mylo, when is there more coming???? Your music makes me happy....cheerful, with hope.
the best electronic music in a while.......2007-02-25
Consider this the "Special Edition" of "Destroy Rock & Roll".......2007-01-22
Enter 24-year-old "Myles MacInnes" (aka "Mylo"), who has taken the template of mainstream Dance music, and reinterpreted it, to fit within a retro/electro dance arrangement, that has the distinction of being one of the most accomplished (if not the best) mainstream dance albums of 2004. Mylo makes the wise decision of not loading the album, with hard-hitting dance numbers, and instead fuses smooth electronica, with upbeat-electro & couple of big-beat/techno tracks.
"Sunworshipper", is gorgeous downtempo electronica, that is so simple in its creation, that its a surprise that it works so well. Think smooth & elegant downtempo 'Nightmares on Wax' style electronica, with a looped dialogue sample (which seems to be from either a film or documentary), overlayed, and brought in & out of the mix. it doesn't actually build or climax into anything, but it's simplicity is so beautifully devised, its laughable.
"Drop The pressure", up the ante with full-on dance floor electro, that immediately stands out, due to its catchiness, that throws a hard hitting electro beat, that fluctuates in tempo, with a crowd please dialogue sample of: "mother****ker's gonna crack under pressure". (think prime-era "Chemical Brothers" dropping, a knowingly cool electro-number).
"In My Arms" again moves away from presenting the listening with relentless simplistic & thudding beats, and weaves a hypnotic disco spell chopping up a riff, and rearranging the pieces to form something closer to disco-house/funk hybrid. Joyous, refreshingly different, and above all...funky as hell.
"Musclecars" leaps off the album with another slab of genuinely attention grabbing electronica, a sneaky little electro tune with woo-hoo-hoo-hoos and bleeps that sounds a bit like 'Royksopp', and therefore has that ability, to reach out to a wide audience, with something that seems to chime perfectly with people that don't usually like to electronica/Dance music.
But with this re-released version of "Destroy Rock & Roll", what is new, and indeed different from the previous version, is the addition of a pretty nice Re-working of "Destroy Rock & Roll", and more importantly a bootleg style mash-up of Mylo's own "Doctor Pressure" mixed with Gloria Estefan's 'Doctor Beat' with the Miami Sound Machine. Which is a gloriously cheesy but energetic house track, that fits in perfectly with the 80's dance mood of the album. And it would take a seriously uptight person to not enjoy it for what it is...a wonderfully disposable piece of groove based dance music, that would fill the floor of any downmarket nightclub.
A lot of this album is made up of ideas that in someway either reference, or give a knowing nod to music of a decade or two ago (especially 80's Pop/Rock). Whether it being tracks to owe a little debt to "Prince" ("Guilty Of Love"), or taking retro-dance ideas from "Daft Punk" ("Otto's Journey"), you'll find that although the source material from which the ideas may not be original. It's implementation represents itself in a reasonably innovate & refreshing way, and the electro/house feel running throughout the album is complementary to many moods.
Those that like their dance to be 'Underground' or consider themselves to be 'music enthusiasts', and generally avoid the sort of music, that would classify for 'Radio-play', would do well to give "Destroy Rock and Roll", a miss....and search for something a little more geared, to the 'Niche' market. As "Destroy Rock and Roll", is a mainstream dance album that uses clever stealing of 80's/90's tracks/samples, and subtle electronica to reinterpret those sounds into something more palatable for todays more demanding/discerning listeners. And manages to sit in that category of electronic/Dance albums such as: ("Royksopp's - Melody A.M."), ("Moby's - "Play"), ("Air's - Moon Safari"), ("Daft Punk's - Discovery") & ("Zero 7's - "Simple Things"), as examples of albums that have that seriously broad appeal, and yet still remain fantastically unique albums in their own right.
Awesome beats.......2007-01-04
An Outstanding Loveable Album that seems to revive a genre..........2006-09-29
Mylo's debut cd is a breakaway from the slack the genre contains. Yes, this is commercial music yet it manages to defeat the hypocrite me and soothes my ego with it's ocean of dramatic sound.
"drop the pressure" is the first song i heard from this disc. In a lot of ways, the tracks underline Dj Mylo's ability to bring "non-dancers" off their feet and into a jiving mood. This is a very good cd if you lived in the 90's listening to music like Robert Miles, a bit of Prodigy and some random electronica tracks and always wondering why you never got into the genre.
Destroy Rock & Roll does surprisingly well as it is beyond being judged. "Sunworshipper" , "Drop The Pressure" , "Rikki" and "Need You Tonite" are the best tracks on the disc.
Sunworshipper is the kind of track that you play in the night and wonder to yourself about the artist named Mylo. It is a total zonked out experience mostly.
Need You Tonite has quite a lot of heart and earns respect with more listens. It reminds me of Royksopp's "Sparks" cause it contains a similar wall of sound. It just might be the best track on the disc.
tracks I didnt like one bit include "Muscle Cars" , "in my arms" , "paris four hundred" and the title track, "Destroy Rock And roll"... You see these are filler tracks and one realises this with consequenet listens. These filler tracks are also why I give this 5star album Four Stars. "Otto's Journey" is acquired listening which will make you smile. "Zenophile" is smooth. Emotion 98.6 is almost apologetic and seems to be lacking direction.
So much for my love for Mylo. I loved this cd all in all. Somehow one of the top cds of 2005. Maybe the best despite earning only FOUR STARS. Influences moods easily...
Cheers,Lovers

It was an honor..........2005-11-11
I'm glad I was given a forum to be able to finally present tracks like "Teenage Whore" to the light of day. The live version of "I've Been So Mad Lately" I do not believe was mentioned in the liner notes as such--is the very first time Bianca ever sang it. We just happened to be recording that day, and I blew my voice out before we got to "Mad" (I wrote it, used to sing it live and I do sing it on the first single). After arguing with Bianca for about 15 minutes where she was screaming "I'm not a singer, leave me alone!!" we finally convinced her to try the song, tape rolling. It was her song ever since. The "take" on Last Call is the second take. The first take is still in my archive, we couldn't include both due to CD-length constraints, but read below...
So many stories to tell on this record that didn't make the liner notes... believe me.
Also know I am working on hopefully releasing my own Bianca tribute in the form of another CD that will be packed with even more interesting stuff than you'll find on "Last Call". My release isn't meant to "trump" "Last Call" but is meant to complete it--to turn it into the 2CD set it should have been in the first place. On this disc I hope to present, among other things in the archive, that first tale of "Mad", the very moment she stepped up to a microphone and started taking prisoners.
I also plan to donate the net proceeds of it to a charity Bianca and I used to do a lot of work for back when we lived together. I'm merely trying to find the initial resources to manufacture it. Wish me luck!
Peace.

If you are reading this, and debating whether or not to buy the cd, I don't think you can call yourself a fan of rock 'n roll if you dont own this slab of rock.
These girls for an all too brief period, were the definition of ROCK!!! No other band came close. Period. If you are a fan of great rock and roll, ... buy this bad Oscar, and obtain any Betty material you can. You are not rock until you do.

With influences ranging from Prince ('Guilty Of Love') through to Daft Punk ('Ottos Journey') and even Scissor Sisters ('Musclecar Reform Reprise'), it's little wonder that The Face described him as 'Scotland's answer to Royksopp'. By refusing to adhere to any one musical style, Mylo may well become one of the most misunderstood artists of his generation, yet despite this, expect this totally absorbing debut to make its mark on the end of year 'best of' listings. Breastfed. 2004.Album Details
The Debut Album from Isle of Skye Native Mylo, (Aka Myles Macinnes). Some of the Many Influences Heard on "Destroy Rock and Roll" Include Royksopp, Groove Armada, Daft Punk and Even Scissor Sisters and Prince.Customer Reviews:
Pure Electro bliss.......2006-09-22
Valley of The Dolls- A breezy, down-tempo reinterpretation of The Sandpipers easy-listening hit "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" from the Russ Meyer film.
Sunworshipper- Sample-heavy smooth Jazz cascades over an unknown recording of a presumed former hippie.
Muscle Cars- The pace picks up a bit with this flawless Electroclazh.
Drop The Pressure- One of the album's most popular tracks. A fun, though potty-mouthed journey into Acid-House.
In My Arms- An 80's influenced electro-pop gem combining the chords from Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes" and the vocals from Boy Meet's Girl's "Waiting for a Star to Fall".
Guilty of Love- The Electro-pop theme continues with this quirky though enjoyable masterpiece which combines strings from George Duke's "Guilty"(The title gets its name from a line in the aforementioned song) and a child-like piano melody.
Paris Four Hundred- Fast paced electroclash reminiscent of Kraftwerk.
Destroy Rock and Roll- Title Track in which a conservative cult leader calls out the names of many "devilish" 80's rock musicians over a house beat that uses an inverted section of Steely Dan's "Aja". The spoken-word portion is actually a sample of a recording made by The Church of Universal and Triumphant. Experimental Rock group Negativland famously used the sample on their album "Escape From Noise".
Rikki- Electroclash combining a cut-up female vocal.
Otto's Journey- Daft Punk-esque electro-disco. Used in a Kraft Zesty Italian Commercial.
Muscle Cars (Freeform Five Reprise) - A driving, up-tempo remix with female vocals.
Zenophile- The album switches back to down-tempo territory with this 60's pop-influenced nugget combining a guitar, smooth electro chord progression and a section from Dusty Springfield's "Where am I Going".
Need You Tonite- Revisiting familiar territory with this sample-heavy adaptation of UK pop songstress Judie Tzuke's "Stay With Me Till Dawn".
Emotion 98.6- Moby-influenced fare brings this album to a close.
Definably worth checking out.
An Outstanding Loveable Album that seems to revive a genre..........2006-05-25
Mylo's debut cd is a breakaway from the slack the genre contains. Yes, this is commercial music yet it manages to defeat the hypocrite me and soothes my ego with it's ocean of dramatic sound.
"drop the pressure" is the first song i heard from this disc. In a lot of ways, the tracks underline Dj Mylo's ability to bring "non-dancers" off their feet and into a jiving mood. This is a very good cd if you lived in the 90's listening to music like Robert Miles, a bit of Prodigy and some random electronica tracks and always wondering why you never got into the genre.
Destroy Rock & Roll does surprisingly well as it is beyond being judged. "Sunworshipper" , "Drop The Pressure" , "Rikki" and "Need You Tonite" are the best tracks on the disc.
Sunworshipper is the kind of track that you play in the night and wonder to yourself about the artist named Mylo. It is a total zonked out experience mostly.
Need You Tonite has quite a lot of heart and earns respect with more listens. It reminds me of Royksopp's "Sparks" cause it contains a similar wall of sound. It just might be the best track on the disc.
tracks I didnt like one bit include "Muscle Cars" , "in my arms" , "paris four hundred" and the title track, "Destroy Rock And roll"... You see these are filler tracks and one realises this with consequenet listens. These filler tracks are also why I give this 5star album Four Stars. "Otto's Journey" is acquired listening which will make you smile. "Zenophile" is smooth. Emotion 98.6 is almost apologetic and seems to be lacking direction.
So much for my love for Mylo. I loved this cd all in all. Somehow one of the top cds of 2005. Maybe the best despite earning only FOUR STARS. Influences moods easily...
Cheers,Lovers
This CD is great!.......2006-05-02
I really like every single song of this album, he did a great job, my favs are "Otto's Journey","Paris Four Hundred" and "Guilty of Love". So if you like something to chill, dance or sleep in with, pick MYLO.
