Don't pick this one..........2003-07-10

A very poor recording of the Yankee Doodle Dandy soundtrack. Sounds as if the person making the recording put a single microphone up against speakers while he or she was playing the video at home.

Warp's Finest.......2002-03-22

Wow! This is an excellent compilation! After listening to it just a couple of times (I've since listened to it dozens and I just bought it a few weeks ago) I have bought albums by Prefuse73 (whom I've never heard of) Polygon Window (who I have of course heard of, but never actually heard) and Mira Calix (very impressive).
With ROUTINE you get it all. First off, there's 2 AE songs, one of which was unreleased. The other is from Chiastic Slide and is great as it reflects AE's progression from Tri Repetae to LP5 (not that lp5 is better than TR -no way!). The 2nd Polygon Window track is truly ambient and is reminiscent of SAWII. Soothing electronic landscapes, cool textures. The 1st sounds as if it could have been straight off SAWI.
Prefuse73 is basically hiphop/r&b samples cut up and patched together over a consistent beat to form a coherent song similar to DJ Shadow's work, but this is uptempo and sounds more like hip hop than Shadow. Very intense, attention grabbing stuff! The Plaid song is among the best I've heard from them and the Squarepusher track provides a good example of his unique gripping, hectic sound.
The CD ends with two of the most laidback downtempo tracks ever recorded. BoC (my favorite artists!)is beautifully psychedelic and hypnotic and the strings and lush sound of Les Nuits is a perfect way to end the compilation. If you like downtempo music as well as IDM you must hear Les Nuits. I have it on at least three other compilations as well as the Carboot Soul CD - incomparable downtempo song. And with Blue Jam's porn you even have some comic relief.
This CD is definitely worth the price as it serves as a great introduction to artists you may never have heard before and offers some cool and even hard to find songs from what have to be some of your favorite artists (if you like Warp). I hope Warp does one of these every year! There are many other great Warp artists, such as Brothomstates, but this serves as a great showcase of what's in their stable.

Excellent sampler for the Warp newbie.......2001-04-20

Speaking as a listener who's Warp knolwedge didn't expand much further than Autechre, Boards of Canada and a little bit of Plaid, I found this compilation to be an excellent introduction into the Warp back/futurecatalogue. I initially purchased Routine for the exclusive ae track, and it paid off: Konlied mx is somber track, mixing the shifting ambience of Amber with the scattered beats of LP5. The two Plaid tracks are quite fun, especially Booc. Aside from these tracks, the two gems for me happen to be Prefuse 73's Nuno and the Blue Jam/Chris Morris riff, Porn. Although Funkstörung did Intelligent Hip Hop first, the infectious Nuno is Intelligent Rap Top 40 style with bits (the keyword to this whole song is bit, as in fragments) of R&B thrown in somewhere. Porn, with its Boogie Nights earnestness yet with RDJ's twisted sense of humor, is raunchily hilarious. Speaking of RDJ, his two tracks under his Polygon Window hat show off his virtuosity, from the untitled track's frenetic rave-up aesthetic to the ambient downtempo Quino-Phec. Two Lone Swordsmen's Brootle is aptly named, both in its unrelenting basspowered beat and its cheeky tone. Mrs. Sean Booth, better known as Mira Calix, provides balance to the playfulness of TLS and Plaid with the dark Sparrow, quasi-minimal as if she stripped down a very narcoleptic Chiastic Slide track to just its burrowing clicks and spoiledmilk synth. NoW's Les Nuits, as a downtempo, foray into acid jazz worthy of Portishead is a splendiff closer. The only dispensible tracks belong to Jamie Lidell, who seems to just make loud distorted noisemelodies without coherent aim, certainly not in the good, Chiastic Slide way.

Dance Routine.......2001-04-07

To celebrate the opening of their New York office, Warp Records releases Routine, a compilation of work from some of its roster. This is another important step for Warp, following the tenth anninversary in 1999, and the move down from Sheffield to London last year. The presence of Warp Records on the North American continent means that all releases should now be widely available over there. With inputs from Plaid, Autechre, Squarepusher, or Boards Of Canada, Routine explores the last couple of years of the label's history. With the exception of Autechre's Konlied MK, this compilation doesn't include any previously unreleased tracks. However, this is as good an entry point as were the monumental Warp 10 series. Kicking off with the hard-to-find, twelve-inch only Plaid track Booc, Routine also include Nuno, taken from the forthcoming Prefuse73 album Vocal Studies And Uprock Narratives, as well as the brilliant Square Rave, taken from Squarepusher's Selection Sixteen album, Mira Calix's Sparrow, featured on her 2000 One On One album, Autechre's Cipater, from Chiastic Slide, Nightmares On Wax's classic chill out Les Nuits, from Carboot Soul, or the disturbing, yet highly amusing Porn, taken from Chris Morris's Radio 1 compilation Blue Jam. Routine also includes two Polygon Window tracks from the recently re-released Surfing On Sine Waves. If Routine obliterates the old classics from the label (LFO's LFO, Nightmares On Wax's Aftermath, Tricky Disco's Tricky Disco...), the fifteen tracks making the album offer an insight on the current direction(s) of the label, i.e. melodic or complex electronica, abstract hip-hop and deconstructed pop. Encompassing the best of what Warp Records is all about, Routine is an essential addition to any record collection, either as an introduction to Warp, or as a complement to Warp 10 series.

The Tragedy of Comedy.......2006-06-08

I haven't quite figured out Don Lennon yet, but this is a very good album. He reminds me a bit of Jens Lekman, but older and wiser. He also reminds me a little bit of Robyn Hitchcock, but only because both are quirky. Lyrics matter to Don Lennon. The topics run from the mundane to the profound, but skip the inbetween. In "Northhampton" (a particularly pretty song) he relates trying to make a friend at the local brewery by asking a nearby customer for a recommendation. The response, "For something light, try their Summer Wheat, I could drink a case and still be on my feet." At least three of the tunes of this album overtly relate to stand up comics, hitting a peak on "My Routine." (A tune previously featured on Fluxblog.) Don Lennon previously was in a band called The Umpteens. That Boston band, broke up in 1997, but you can track down a few tracks under the misnamed "Endless Upteens." Recommended cuts: My Routine, Northhampton, What SNL Stands For

He Takes His Comedy Seriously.......2006-06-03

Damnit Don, I left the country before I found out you were auditioning people for your band! Anywho, if you're from boston, or if you're from new york...and if you take comedy seriously, or if you like intelligent indipoprock with awkward charm, this might be a wonderful musical discovery for you. i'm happy to see all the attention jens lekman's gotten with his latest album, as it's quite good - if you're a fan of his work than check out don's stuff, as i believe he's a kindred spirit w/ jens...

Routine is Anything But.......2005-11-13

First, I apologize for the Chasing Amy-inspired review title. I just saw this CD was added and I happen to be on a mad quest to see this album sell 1,000,000 copies per person in the US.

The thing I love most about Don Lennon's lyrics are that they sound like a very awkward, cynical outsider's description of simple experiences. The songs "Hang Out With My Friends" ("Gonna hang out with some friends of mine/at the Rhode Island School of Design") and "My Favorite Rock Group" ("You don't deserve to hear my favorite rock group/Even though they rock.") on his second album are the best examples of this. He also seems to select a theme for each album; the last one, "Downtown" featured mostly songs about pop culture. The ultimate effect of this is that each new album sounds at the same time like something new and like the same old Don.

This album's theme seems to be comedians, and the standout track is "Last Comic Standing," a respectful yet levelheaded assessment of television's treatment of John Ritter...which turns into a bemoaning of television's impact on comedy...and then a debate on the merits of prop comedy vs. non-prop comedy...and finally Don allies himself with the smart comedy of Bill Cosby in the Sixties. Different subjects, awkwardly described by me, but they fit perfectly in the Lennonverse. There's also an epic-sounding piano riff in there which makes every word of the song sound like the most important thing in the universe.

Other songs include "Northhampton," which ranks high on the Johnathan Richman-o-Meter; "My Routine," where a young aspiring comic walks you through his material with neurotic glee; "The Best Years of Our Lives," a look back at a time of retrospectively glorious creative poverty ("I wrote my lyrics right out on my jeans"), and the bitter "Trust Fund," about bastards marrying and then divorcing each other to get each other's money. This is quite possibly Don Lennon's best album. So buy it NOW. NOW, I say!

Hotwire.......2005-06-27

This is a hard one to review. Other reviewers claim this is rap metal...which it is not. In fact the guy comes close to rapping once and even then its not rap. Normally I don't go for the whole track list thing, but it should help in this case.

Not Today - 4.5/5 The only reason this one doesnt get 5 is because the demo version (unreleased) is way better. Hard track with lotsa crunchin guitars and yelling.
Invisible - 5/5 Best song on the cd by far. The bridge at the end is killer, guitars and vocals just go off, its perfect.
Nice Profile - 4.5/5 hard rock, just not as hard as the rest...pretty catchy though.
Rugburn - 3.5/5 Another rocker, not bad, just not great.
Say What You Want - 4/5 The mandatory slow song, could have been better but oh well. The acoustic riff at the end is very awesome and goes on for well over a minute and a half with no vocals.
Hands On You - 4.5/5 pretty good song, starts off slow and builds into a medium paced rocker, not too heavy.
Magazine - 3/5 The weird song, just over a minute and a half, not horrible and the hard chorus probably saves it.
Tweaked - 4.5/5 Again, the demo version of this song is soo much better, they tried to improve this so much they actually made it worse. Still up there, the chorus just isnt sung the same way.
Neuro Girl - 3.5/5 Kinda slow song, not the best but not bad.
Colorblind - 4.5/5 The Better slow song, just more melodic and makes more sense.
How It Goes - 4/5 Good Rocker
In The Unknown - 4/5 Nice outro to the cd, but yet another slow song.

So, download the demos if you can, they're better, but also don't miss out on this underground gem.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz im sleepy.......2004-12-31

hotwire was a whim pickup after hearing the demo of "not today" which rocked bigtime.the new version sounds awful, very over produced and sleek just like the rest of the cd.the guitars have no substance and russ vocals dont cut like they did on the demos."nice profile" is a fun little track very catchy and poppy while "rugburn" has a depressing riff and mellow verse and "tweaked" is pretty heavy straightforward but the song has been tweaked too much from its original.overall the album is quite boring, i tried to get into it on several occasions, just never happens.try their demos, thats where the good hotwire is at.

worst major label rock album of 2003.......2004-03-07

This album is tied with Depswa's Two Angels & A Dream for worst major label rock album of 2003. The music on this album is unforgivably generic and formulaic, but it's nice to see a band that isn't content to be just a forgettably mundane example of mainstream rock. They take talentlessness to a whole new level with riffs that must have been intentionally designed to be the least catchy and creative they could possibly come up with. In a genre overflowing with mediocrity, Hotwire stand out as a shining light of complete musical ineptitude.

Un-routine........2004-01-12

The one thing these guys have above every other up and coming punk/rock outfit is a raw, unbridaled energy rarley seen by younger bands. This disc rocks. Think RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE (sans rap) meets QUICKSAND with the emoting distortion of NIRVANA's BLEACH. Don't get me wrong, although HOTWIRE's style borrows, there is still a fresh, edgy angst within that seperates them from the masses. THE ROUTINE is a good album from cover to cover with plenty of harmony and tempo changes and nicely sung/screamed hooks. Plenty of hard-assed riffs that rock the house, too, making the CD user friendly to punk enthusiasts as well as those who like violence mixed with catchy pop/rock. It's rare to catch such feeling in an art form that's dying like modern hard rock, but HOTWIRE keep the fire burning with their own ROUTINE. Great new band.

NOT a "routine" debut.......2003-07-22

As the final few notes of ýIn the Unknowný fade away gracefully into silence, and Hotwireýs major-label debut ýThe Routineý winds down to a close, I am admittedly left in a state of incredible glee.

Okay, before we go any further, letýs get one thing straight. I nonchalantly popped in this disc about a week ago, listened to the first four or so tracks, and was far too hasty to write Hotwire off as the next Disturbed rip-off of recycled nu-metal nuances. That being said, I happened to read an interview with the band in this monthýs ýMetal Edgeý with vocalist Russ Martin, and the writer seemed to make a point to say how ýThe Routineý is an album that needs more than one listen to fully grasp (and such is the case with a lot of todayýs music.)

Deciding to give it another shot was the best musically-inclined decision Iýve made in weeks.

The true beauty of Hotwire is their ability to sound like everyone else, while not sounding like anything youýve ever heard at the same time. How they manage to do this is an enigma Iým going to fathom after the 40th time I listen to this very special album, but what I can say right now is this: songs such as ýNot Todayý and ýNeuro Girlý (my personal favorite) are a cut above what youýre going to hear in the hard rock/nu-metal scene today. They sound like Blindside if they collaborated with Staind and if Soulflyýs Max Cavalera produced it. If that sounds weird, itýs because it is. This album will do great things for true music fansý lack of faith in a scene drowning in record industry-controlled entropy.

The songs range from emotional and heavy to heartfelt and soft. This contrast is epitomized in ýInvisibleý compared to ýIn the Unknown,ý as the rock spectrum is fully examined and put to great use throughout the CDýs disappointingly short 38-minute duration. ýSay What You Wantý brings to mind a few recent hints of Taproot, while ýColor Blindý goes in and out of a caustic riff into a sinuous chorus.

Hotwire have a gift. They channel their energy and utilize this gift in the most effective way possible, and are going to captivate the mind of any avid music fan who happens to listen to it. However, ýThe Routineý ends all too abruptly, clocking in at just less than 40 minutes.

Slight length problem aside, Hotwire have the potential to be something absolutely stellar. This is as solid a major-label debut youýll hear, and Iým already eagerly awaiting the bandýs next effort.

Haunting, spooky, & pleasurable.......1999-04-23

I saw this band at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, and they were the best of the 30 bands I heard. The vocalist is superb, with a loungy, ethereal voice that will transport you places. Well-produced, it is one of those CD's that seems to improve every time you listen. Definitely not for the passive listener. Invest your time and focus on the sound and you will walk away impressed.
