You can't count on very much in life, but you can count on the Mekons, who celebrate 25 years of shambling, oft-brilliant agit-punk with OOOH! (Out of Our Heads). This spirited release serves up everything from drunken sing-along anthems to slice-of-life songs. Their originals have always mixed brazen politics with unsentimental humor, making them far more effective and longer-lasting than a dozen Exploited. (Their first single, 1977's "Never Been in a Riot," was a direct, sarcastic response to the Clash's "White Riot.") Originally art punks, band members recharged themselves with country in the mid-'80s, dabbled briefly with dance and dub, and now make a career-encompassing joyous noise. Highlights here include the circular, snaking guitars and insistent rhythms of "Thee Olde Trip to Jerusalem," which sounds like Richard Thompson sitting in with the Ex, and the beautiful, weary "Lone Pilgrim," which brings to mind the Pogues. --Mike McGonigal

Five Stars Yes, but Throw Away Two Cuts .......2005-03-09

Disembodied singing heads (Out of Our Heads, after all), "like Bob Hope entertaining the troops," figure prominently in the mostly spoken word Dancing in the Head and Bob Hope and Charity. They, and the spoken intro to Stonehead, are truly grating. But the rest of OOOH is terrific, excellent songs of loss, faith, evil, love, resignation and endurance set to music that draws on all the genres the Mekons have made their own through almost three decades, a little punk, a little pop, a good deal of avant-country. Haunting, unsettling, sometimes flat vocals complete the striking mix. Favorites: Take His Name in Vain, with its tale of "old familiar vampires," Lone Pilgrim, One X One, and Stonehead with the universal reality -- "one day we'll be gone/leaving no trace/We pride ourselves that our memory/Will vanish from the memory of the world."

Soothing cowpunk for hard times.......2002-12-13

This album-a pastiche of art rock, country and gospel-is the best thing the Leeds-Chicago band has done in years. WIth its dreamy, fiddle-backed songs of zombies, coming through fire and the general toughness of modern life, it seems like a response to September 11- though interviews with the Mekons reveal it was in the can before then. Overall, their folksiest album, and amazingly fresh for a band that's been touring for 25 years.

Best album I bought in 2002..........2002-09-21

and I wish I would of heard of these guys sooner!

another great one, good as Journey to the End of the Night.......2002-09-06

I am so happy the Mekons are in this world! We have survived the millennium, "robber barons still roam the land," and the Mekons don't like it any more than they used to -- "They'll be building up the temple on the backs of the people -- sign of the profit" they sing in the opening number. OUT OF OUR HEADS is roughly similar to JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE NIGHT, but the first two tracks set a more aggressive, optimistic and skewed tone for the rest. JOURNEY is a phenomenal album (see my review), but it is the Mekons' most earnest work. OOOH! reverts to a slightly more typical irreverence, sounding perhaps like JOURNEY with a shot of MEKONS ROCK'N'ROLL. OOOH! is great throughout, so there is no point in mentioning stand-out tracks. Just another ordinary night -- everybody sing along: "I am the King, you are the Queen, we rule nothing."

Another brilliant album.......2002-08-25

Typical Mekons- brilliant, and nothing like the previous one. Standout tracks so far include "Thee Old Trip" and "Only you and your ghost", but they're all very strong. I'm not sure I hear the Celtic influences the Amazon reviewer found, in the sense of Irish/Scottish etc. The influence that comes through the strongest to me is actually white American late 19th century spiritual (shapenote, that kind of stuff). You can hear it in the harmonies and the melodies, as well as some of the lyrics. I suppose that music was Celtic influenced. (Of course the band would probably laugh at all this analysis). Anyway, buy this album (and Original Sin and New York and, oh all of them!!)

90s Techno.......2007-05-13

OK, I'm going to give away my age a little. I saw BFord open for Erasure during the "Wild" tour. A buddy of mine went because we were both into the "techno" scene at the time. This is before Moby became the face of techno. So it was all very underground. BFord put on a GREAT show. IMO he was better than Erasure. So I pulled this disc out during a drinking session and was instantly flooded with memories of my first year out of high school. Wow...what a great album. How is it this guy isn't on the cover of electronic music magazines today? Well one reason is he never seemed to follow up the album with anything substantial. I think he did a couple of 12-inches, but nothing noteworthy. He sort of faded into obscurity. If you can get your hands on this album, it really does stand the test of time (most techno does not). The reason this album is still good is that Ford wrote songs, not just blips with a backbeat.

Itunes doesn't have this, neither does eMusic. But if you can find it, it's certainly worth upwards to $30 to own.

peace

Hot Dance Mixes from a British Techno Pioneer.......2004-07-03

This is a classic early techno/dance album that unfortunately seems out-of-print. Peter(Baby)Ford was a major innovative figure in the British scene around the early 90's. Techno had crossed the ocean from its birthplace in Detroit and found fertile ground in England. From there it crossed to Europe, finally to come back to the USA in the form of compilation CD's from England, Belgium, Germany, etc., causing many to assume that techno was a European invention.
Baby Ford's work in this period is much different than what he's doing now, which is minimalist electronica. The songs on this CD are dense, psychedelic dance mixes that will make your feet very happy. "Children Of The Revolution", a cover of a song also done by the Violent Femmes, is worth the price of the CD alone.
If you're inteseted in early techno, roots of techno, etc., this CD is right up your alley.

a summer CD.......2005-03-26

If you expect all songs to be like her first hit, you'll be disappointed - of course - but it is a decent R&B album. It works very nicely in the summer time with an easy mood. It's ok as a debut, but Lumidee had such a big hit that everyone expects much more than this.
