Tortoise's sophomore release, Millions Now Living Will Never Die shows off an unlikely blossoming of talent. The Chicago instrumental band makes clear with Millions what their eponymous debut brushed in broad strokes: this is the musical legacy of the ties between experimental art music and postpunk. The sonic environments are entirely woven from percussion, basses, and occasional keyboards--all of it thrown through the blender of electronic sampling and manipulation at various points. Hypnotic, some would say, and an attempt at mirroring Steve Reich or even Can, others would note. But Tortoise demonstrate their singular vision, one that would spawn many more all-instrumental alt-rock visions. Dub bass hints, keyboard darts and dashes, strange flashes of heartbeat rhythms--it all comes together on Millions in a manner that's hard to forget and easy to dive through. --Andrew Bartlett

2008 elevator music.......2006-08-18

Tortoise are NEU rip offs. It's your basic i'm sticking my rock sound into something else. Pseudo, dubbed "avant-garde" music for art and super indie kids. The music is lame and boring, your basic elevator music

Millions now Living will Never Know the Wonder of this Record.......2006-05-27

If one wants to know how prog and jazz fusion changed to assume a 90s still then they just need to listen to this fascinating double CD! A group from Chicago that starts from the premise of cold, atmospheric sound and departs to the point of improvisation and the stretching of their original musical ideas. The scenes evoked by this wonderful set of "program music" include (in my most sober mind) camp fires in the middle of pasture at night with fireflies bugging the night-glowed campers. Happy happy mystical joy! Ice space and the sudden interruption of a rail road in the distant distance. (The video for one of this record's tracks featured a very homey looking home video of icecles forming on trees in the middle of a mostly barren field and the formation is speeded up to show the process via elapsed time photography like, man man man . . . this album and its music is just too cool, it forces one to renew that term, steal it back from the little brats who use it now to describe their silly video games or whatever garbage they be into now. `Cause this album is jost so smooth and delicious and COOL to be ignored without superlatives. BUY IT BY ALL MEANS mlost especially if you are an alumnus of the Happy the Man/Kit Watkins school of spaciouis, lightly improvised sound textures.
Served up best, again, COLD. TORTOISE-SICLE . . . delish

Great music by great musicians!!.......2005-08-22

A great cd to start with if you have never heard Tortoise before. A excellent addition if you have. From the beginning to the end, Tortoise takes you through many moods. You can't help but be amazed at the talent from these five guys. If you like Tortoise check out June of 44, The Sea & Cake, Dianogah, or the Reach the Rock soundtrack.

I agree with the other reviewers who said "Djed" is a phenomenal, life-changing track. It starts out with roughly 10 minutes or so of a droning bass-riff accompanied by gentle electronic effects and atmospheric guitar, very Neu!-ish (or for people who are unfamiliar with Neu!, very early Stereolab-ish.)It then goes into an electronic organ and guitar duet that is accompanied unexpectedly by vibraphones that continue a pretty, rolling melody until they crash and disentigrate into cosmic ambience, and it continues through several more sections until finnaly giving way to the next track. Very nice, indeed...
....the other tracks are much shorter and to the point, but are equally indiscernable from each other..."Glass Museum" and "Along The Banks Of Rivers" are great guitar-driven mini-epics where one can see the influence on bands like Do Make Say Think and Godspeed. The latter is a spaghetti western influenced pondering that could've been the more strait-forward precursor to what Godspeed would do on F#A#, although much less emphasis on the whole ambience thing. "A Survey" is a bass-driven creeper that reminds you that member(s?) of Slint make up this band. "The Taut and Tame" is an avante-jazz-metal heavy song remeniscent of John Zorn and Mr.Bungle (albeit more emotional). "Dear Grandma and Grandpa" is a nice, little psych-dub electro-excursion that leads into "Banks of..." All in all, you don't have to be a musical guru to appreciate this. An open mind, or should I say a stoner's mind, will probably do just fine.

Don't listen to the negative reviews.......2004-12-09

I've had TNT for awhile now, and I love that album. I wanted to get this album because of djed. This album is shorter than TNT, but I think its better that way. If your a fan of Can, Faust, Neu, or Tangerine dream, you'll want to get this album. If your a fan of post-rock, you'll want to get this album. I don't know what kind of music the negative reviewers listen to. But if you love music that dares to be different,music that comes from the underground, from the indie scene, from people who also love music, you will want to check out this cd.

Customer Reviews:

Rock Will Never Die!!.......2007-06-12

Nice to see this remastered and re released. I had this on LP when I was a kid and now it sounds better than ever on CD. This is a nice follow up to 'One Night At Budokan' and the hight of Schenker's career in the 80's. Not only is Gary Barden on with vocals, Derek St. John also belts out some lyrics as well - not sure why he wasn't ever asked to sing leads on a full time basis because he has a powerful voice and range.

I recently found this on DVD, bootleg of course, and was quite pleased with it as well.

No Regrets. All Songs Are Killer. Spark The Owl & Enjoy!.......2004-06-29

This is a Japanese import. The show was recorded (and professionally filmed) in London at the Hammersmith Odeon in October 1983. All of the songs are performed with a 20-something gusto. Schenker's fingers are nimble & fast. His notes are stinging & piercing. Barden's right on the money with the vocals--as usual. The rest of the band are tip-top as well. This is a very good show and DEFINITELY worth owning. Ex-Ted Nugent vocalist Derek St. Holmes provides excellent backing vocals and sings the lead vocals for I'm Gonna Make You Mine. He also plays rhythm guitar. He was quite a nice touch to the MSG team (for the little while that he was with them). For me the highlights of this album are the two tracks from Assault Attack: Rock You To The Ground, and Desert Song. They are lovely melodies that sound better here than on the studio album. Much better. Then again, all the songs on this album are highlights; each one is a unique performance showcasing Schenker back in his heyday.

Probably THE greatest live album ever recorded!!.......2004-05-15

It's very rare when live recordings of songs are better than the original studio recordings, but that's the case here. (curiously, that was the case with "Strangers In The Night" too). Every track smokes; with Schenker and FIVE others (!!) playing for their lives.

Except, maybe, for "Assault Attack", I was never satisfied the mix of any MSG album from the early '80s. None of the songs here are held back my bad production. And the faster pace (coming naturally when most bands perform live) is welcome.

The songs, the class, the polish, the excitement......just breathtaking!!! This is a must-own! If you're new to MSG, start here. This album's worth $200!!

Dont be an ass and miss this great deal!

Assault Attack/Rock Will Never Die.......2003-09-13

This is an excellent album & I was very pleased With it. If you like MSG this is an awesome value. Some of the live cuts are a little fast, (drummer's fault) but it still kicks [booty]!

Assault Attack +1 [IMPORT].......2001-07-01

This album should be considered an all time melodic CRUNCHER, why this was not a super seller is beyond me. The mastering is great, Shenker, {flawless as usual], shows just what guitars were made for. The musicians involved couldn't have been hand picked or lucked together any better. If you like MSG at all or like crunch to the wall [melodic, not slammy or stupid]. This is a must have CD. Rating 25 stars.

THE GERMAN WONDER BOY !.......2000-04-14

Michael Schenker was born in Germany in 1955. He was mad famous after playing with British band UFO. BUt, after being freed from UFO limits, he went on into a magnific solo career, where his real talents surfaced. This career was plagued by one of the most amazing ammounts of line-up changes I've ever seen (a thing that, as we know, is a certain formula to finish a band or make it loose credibility. But this ercord has 2 great albuns: one recorded in sutdio, the other is live.

A life changing album for me!.......2000-12-14

I was fortunate enough to make a trip to England when I was 13. I found this tape(no, there weren't cds then) in a train station in London. I had never heard any Michael Schenker music before. I knew he was the brother of Rudolph and I had seen the Scorpions earlier that year. I figured if it was half as good as the Scorps it would still be great. Great would be an understatement. This is one of those albums that makes you want to learn guitar. Phenomenal! All of the songs are great, with a guest appearance by Klause and Rudolph on one tune. Any time I need to hear massive guitar and guitar solos when the song should end but, let's have another guitar solo, I listen to this album. Sixteen years later, it's still a favorite!

Amazing live sound, Technical viturosity, All right here on one CD. Unfourtunately, like many guitarist before him, Michael became influential only in Europe, so young guitarists emulated him to the point when American audiences heard him later, they thought that the young guitarists thought it up first (see Peter Green, Gary Moore).
