lords of acid rockin erotic stryle.......2007-06-12

This is the second album from LOA and I think that it is their best. It is harder both lyrically and instrumentally than anything else they have done. "The Crablouse" is definitely my favorite LOA song. If you're looking for some good, hard industrial/techno, then look no further.

Best cd ever!.......2006-05-19

The music is great,and so are the lyrics. If you want to buy a new cd,make it this one! And actually I am easily offended,but I love this cd!

For a wonderful romantic evening.............2004-02-11

What does this sound like? I think the cover says it best. Musically it's mostly aggressive techno. Lyrically it's pretty hardcore, which is good. The song titles say alot. The only band comparison I can think of, might be some "My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult" on speed, hold the Satan, pass the sex and drugs. With songs like "The Crablouse", "Do What You Want To Do", and "Out Comes The Evil", this is easily their best album, and probably better than "Greatest T*Ts".

One of the Lords greatest works, a must for any techno fan.......2003-12-20

Lords of Acid first appeared on the scene with their debut album "Lust", a mix of club-savvy techno, tongue-in-cheek humor, and come-hither lyrics. While tracks like "I Must Increase My Bust" and "Rough Sex" gained them attention, the music itself was not much different from the rest of the dance world at the time. Perhaps aware of this themselves, the Lords (Oliver Adams, Praga Khan, and Jade 4 U) went back to the studio and released a fanastic 2nd album, the wonderful "Voodoo U."

"Voodoo" takes the lords in a different direction than "Lust", fusing dynamic club rhythms to the grit of industrial rock to form a deliciously bitter hybrid. While the tone of "Lust" was playful and light, "Voodoo" delves into a much darker form of humor and a more nihilistic view of sexuality. To be sure, the lyrics are just as sexually-charged, if not more, but when taken with the tone of the album, the Lords' shadowy collective id is much more apparent.

Several classic Lords tracks can be found here, including the undeniably driving "Crablouse" (both in its original form and in an interesting if not entirely superior remix), the creepily seductive "Out Comes The Evil", and the aggressively raunchy "She And Mrs. Jones." "Mister Machoman" and "Young Boys" give Jade 4 U (whose vocals are superb throughout) the chance to play dominatrix-as-berserker, and she does it so well that you can't help but want to give in to her, no matter what. Jade even tones it down for the sensual, alluring bonus track "The Real Thing", purring like the hottest 60's sex-kitten that never was.

It's when the Lords diverge from their erotic focus that the tracks' quality becomes tenuous. Several tracks on "Voodoo" are an attempt by the Lords to be serious, to talk about darker issues. Sometimes, like the hilarious ode to an irreedemable stoner "Marijuana In Your Brain" and the wrenchingly emotional tale of abuse "Special Moments", these work to a great degree. Other times, like the heavy-handed anti-drug "Blowing Up Your Mind" and the song attacking the pimp "Dirty Willy", the songs come off as preachy, with simplistic lyrics that reduce the impact that the song might have had. An unrelated misstep comes in the form of "Do What You Wanna Do", a well-intentioned but ultimately mediocre song.

Regardless of these few instances, this is a solid album, and a must for any fan of the Lords. While not wildly divergent in its style, the tracks are all wonderfully arranged and delivered: even when they don't connect well with the listener, you have to admire the effort put into them. Of special note in this regard is the bonus track "Young Boys Go To Studio 54", re-imagining the grunge of "Young Boys" into a disco number so masterfully crafted in retro style that you'd swear it's the Village People-Donna Summer duet that was never released.

All in all, a fantastic album with only a few flaws that deserves to be in any techno enthusiats' collection. 4 out of 5.

Wonderful.......2003-11-20

Well what can I say ?I love it ...and this is an album that fuses rock and techno with other elements of music together!What a great job the acidheads did with this cd.This is one cd that rocks from start to finish.It's just as good as Greatest T.its.It's about rocknroll and techno ...who could ask for more?I highly recommend this one!

Album Description

With 10 releases under his belt as the mastermind and leader behind prog legends The Flower Kings and through his collaborative work with Kaipa, The Tangent, and Transatlantic, Roine Stolt has firmly established himself as one of the most respected and prolific names in today's progressive rock scene.

Wall Street Voodoo was written in the spirit of the late 60's early 70's rock and blues, drawing on influences like Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Procol Harum, and the Allman Brothers Band and combining that sound with the more experimental styles of Steely Dan, The Beatles, and Frank Zappa. Featuring a guest appearance by former Spock's Beard vocalist and Transatlantic band mate Neal Morse.

An Interesting Diversion from the Flower King........2007-02-15

Roine Stolt, The Flower King and arguably the godfather of modern Prog, releases his first solo recording in six years and the fourth of his career counting 1994's "The Flower King". This is a two-disc set but editing it to a single disc would have made for a stronger album and left the listener hungry for more. However, that is not Roine's style and sometimes his TFK output suffers from the same affliction.

This is, admittedly, not a Prog record. Here, Roine pays tribute to the music of his youth - straight-ahead rock and blues with a little jazz thrown in. It kind of reminds me a bit of what Steve Morse did with his Major Impacts releases.

Roine reveals to us his alter ego - The Rocker. His lyrics, and his guitar, bite. Instead of the sensitive, Flower King-seeking, new age Prog man, we meet a man who is cynical and more than a little bitter. In veiled commentary, he takes on the current U.S. administration and the Iraq war with standard issue, Hollywood-style, left-wing arguments. In fact, he is sounding very Daniel Gildenlow-like. Roine even peppers his lyrics with a few expletives, and like Bruce Springsteen last year, drops his first recorded F-bomb.

In It's All About The Money, Roine sings, "Too many towers have been struck down lately, Because of decisions from the business chambers ". Is he referring to the Twin Towers? I hope he is not laying blame for 9/11 on "greedy corporate America" thereby justifying the actions of radical Islam. Say what you will about President Bush and the War, but please do not trample on our collective memory of what really happened on that day.

With an album that pays homage to the music of the `60's and `70's - a period scarred by the memory of Nixon, Vietnam and social injustice which was well documented by the music of the day - it is interesting that Roine makes a record that reflects a world which finds itself in similar circumstances today. Like Sting said, "history will teach us nothing".

Politics aside, there is some fine music to be found here. Roine is sincere about this music and he appears to be having some fun.

Those of us who have been debating the chops of new Flower Kings' drummer Marcus Liliequist have plenty of opportunity here to listen to his work. He is a competent rock drummer. No question should remain about that. However, one still wonders how he will do in the more elegant Prog arena. The wait will end in a couple of weeks when the new Flower Kings CD is released.

There may have been an opportunity here for Roine to attract some rock guitar fans who have a hard time with Prog. However, due to the length of most of the songs, the average rock fan would probably lose interest. Roine will have to be content with allowing the average Prog fan a little diversion and cementing his reputation as all-around first-rate talent. The amount of quality music this man has produced in the last ten years is mind-blowing.

Stand out tracks:

The Observer - Nice bluesy guitar work built on a traditional rock `n roll riff

Head Above Water - Starts of with a Cream-like wha wha guitar line and vocal harmonies. Features Neal Morse on lead vocals. Radio-friendly if this was 1972.

Unforgiven - An ominous title given to otherwise upbeat and catchy (and danceable) shuffle.

Sex Kills - A rockin', first-class remake of the Joni Mitchell song (I think I hear a cowbell!).

Outcast - Soulful blues. I love Roine's voice but this is made for someone like Robert Cray. Nice keyboard work by Slim Pothead (widely thought to be Tomas Bodin).

Remember - The follow-up single to Head Above Water if this was 1972. Neal Morse sounds great here.

Everybody is Trying to Sell You Something - Roine slides into the 80's sounding like Talking Heads in a weird way.

Mercy - A strange little tune but I like it a lot. The acoustic guitar is so moving and sounds so lonely. Reminds me of Stephen Stills.

Reborn Spirit of the Sixties.......2006-10-12

Ah, politics in music again, we just can't seem to escape it these days, can we? I am a long-time Roine Stolt fan and have been dazzled by the music on this album, so I'll let his idealistic anti-capitalist rants slide. Anyway,this project is supposed to be Stolt's nod to his musical influences of the sixties and that decade was nothing if not quite radical in many ways.
I am politically a very conservative guy, but being of the sixties I can see where Stolt is coming from with his lyrics here. He is asking questions that never get answered and shows his irritation with a world that seems to be spiralling into a cesspool of greed, corruption and degeneracy. Wall Street Voodoo, idealistic yet somewhat naive, is the reborn spirit of the sixties and it should be refreshing, no matter your politics, to hear such an eloquent expression of discontent as this is.
I like the whole CD, though there are parts that seem a little drawn out. But to me, the highlights are many, and they are as follows:
Disc 1:
1)The Observer-a sledgehammer of anti-capitalist invective with a soulful refrain.
2)Head Above Water-features an excellent Deep Purple style organ interlude.
3)Dirt-Powerful, accusing lyrics and gripping instrumentation.
4)Everyone Wants To Rule the World-With the exception of the refrain, this overflows with Floydian lyrics and imagery.
5)Spirit of the Rebel-A driving, pounding vision of hopelessness.
6)Dog With A Million Bones-a bitter polemic against those who have no wants yet will not share. Some great Luddite invective.
7)Sex Kills-An old Joni Mitchell tune, bitter and enraged, fits perfectly with the spirit of this CD.
8)Outcast-In my opinion, the best song among many good ones. Here are the blues. Its not a BB King ripoff as someone claimed, I hear it far closer to Peter Green than to BB King. Sublime blues guitar and desolate lyrics will mesmerize you!
Disc 2:
1)Remember-A great rocker, with a whiff of Crazy Horse. This just cooks.
2)Its All About Money-Who can disagree? Good lyrics with a lame semi-rap delivery, but instrumental portion excellent.
3)Everybody Is Trying To Sell You Something- True enough. A funky lyrical reiteration of the theme of The Observer.
4)People That Have The Power To Shape The Future-Great song taking a crack at the emptiness of a life devoted to serving a faceless corporation. Even if you are a company man/woman, you must experience similar feelings at some point in your career. Great soulful vocals.
Wall Street Voodoo is one CD I will be promoting for a long time, at least until Stolt records something even better! If you have an open mind and a love of dynamic and interesting music, then don't miss this. An album such as this one comes along only rarely.

What a Blast!.......2006-04-13

Okay, I went out and bought the new FLOWER KINGS cd 'Paradox Hotel' when it came out last week, and since there was such a good deal from amazon if I bought stuff over 25 bucks, I decided to grab this release.. two days ago both arrived.

I have not yet listened to the new FLOWER KINGS cd yet.. although I am looking foward to it... I decided to listen to the release I thought would take less time to absorb.. and normally the side releases of any band member tends to be less valuable than the output from a whole band.. but this is a rare example of breaking that rule.

Songs like DIRT, EVERYONE WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD, THE UNWANTED are just three songs over the two disc's that really stand up and grab you outright... but there are so many..

GUITAR playing on this release is just out of this world. There are keyboards on this release, but the tendency to show them off on a typical Flower Kings is absent on this release.. this is all RS jamming and doing it in ways that are not quite typical of RS playing...

Sometimes RS does a completely convincing Jimi. Clapton. Zappa. Quite incredible. And if you like Guitar playing like I do, you will love this CD.

What makes this quite enjoyable is the fact that I didn't quite expect to have this much guitar, and neither did I expect to hear ex Spocks Beard frontman Neal Morse.. and it was all this bonus boost that really makes this release a smash.

I really think that if you like the Flower Kings or anything to do with good guitar playing.. you need to get this CD. Simple as that!

Have fun

Wall Street Voodoo.......2006-04-07

I don't understand why some people are so shocked that Roine Stolt put out a blues solo album. It is very clear to me that Roine is a very good blues guitarist. There are heavy blues influences all over the place in previous Flower Kings albums

Roine's lyrics on WSV are nothing like the lyrics I have heard on previous Flower Kings albums in the following ways. They don't sound like they came straight out of 1968. They are political, and I found that interesting. They are much less spiritual than the lyrics he wrote for the FK albums in the past.

Roine's voice works on a blues album. I was somewhat worried that a man singing the blues with a Swedish accent wouldn't work out well, but he pulled it off brilliantly.

Neal Morse was not an asset to this album. I'm not sure what Neal's problem was, but it seemed to me that he somehow managed to impose a Beatlesque overtone on some of these blues songs. It didn't work for me at all.

This album would have been better if it was a single CD. If Roine had forced himself to put everything he wanted on this blues album in one CD, it would have been incredible!, Sometimes less is more. That's why I gave this album only 4 stars.

Anyone that can't hear a blues influence in Roine's guitar work with The Flower Kings has to take the wax out of their ears. It's all over the place in very heavy doses.

If anyone reading this likes the blues, buy this album. I think you'll enjoy it. Roine is a spectacular and talented guitarist. He is a first class blues guitarist as well.

I wish Roine had released this album on a blues label. I believe many blues lovers would be happy to have it in their collection. It was released on a prog label, probably because The Flower Kings are a prog band. It's a shame more blues lovers will never have a decent chance of hearing this album.

good bang for the buck.......2006-03-20

just discovered the flower kings in the last few years. roinne stolt is one of the greatest guitarist and vocalists making music today. i can't understand how bands like dream theater, porcupine tree, transatlantic get virtually no airplay. no mention of their new releases in the newspaper or ANYWHERE! put out some rap crap or R&B garbage and you win a grammy or an OSCAR! for music from a movie.how in the hell did that happen. just another sign of the apocolypse. thank god i have AOL music which has a progressive radio station. wall street voodoo is good but it is no ADAM and EVE, easily the best flower kings cd. buy the flower kings DVD, dream theater live in Budakon DVD, Transatlantic DVD. get a good pair of headphones and try to pretend it is 1975 when ELP, YES, and KING CRIMSON ruled the world.

awesome.......2000-03-13

This is a great song from a great album (music for the gilted generation). Rat Poison and the Chemical Brothers remix(by the way, I rarely like the Chemical Brothers but this remix is one of their best) are excellent. NO Good is great too even though it may take u a few listens to get used to it(pay no attention to the title of this song because it bears absolutely no resemblence to the original No Good). Speedway is repetitive but it is good when you are in the mood for it. Track 1 is perhaps unneccessary though because it is almost identical to the last track. Anyway, this is a great deal.

A good buy.......2000-01-23

I had been looking for this CD for a while and finally got around to buying it. Over all I am very glad I did. First off if you haven't heard the title track, you need to come out of your cave more often. It's a great song. Although I enjoy most of the songs on this single there are a few clunkers. The CJ Bolland Museum Remix of No Good (Start the Dance)is not all that great, although it is still decent. The same goes for Speedway (Theme From Fastlane) (Secret Knowledge Remix). But the real crock of *CENSORED* is the Haiti Island Remix of Voodoo People. There are hardly any rythmic changes, new samples or anything else that set apart vanilla remixes from outstanding ones. Basically the Voodoo People (Haiti Island Remix) amounts to Voodoo People with an extra synth line. Then theres Rat Poison and Voodoo People (Chemical Brothers Remix). Wow are these great. I'd tell you which is the best song on the single but I can't there both so good. Rat Poison has a good guitar line and great beats. The Chemical Brothers Remix of Voodoo People. This has all the things that I look for in a good remix. New rythems, new synth lines and basically a new melody (ok maybe I don't think of a new melody when I think of a good remix but it helps). Over all I recomend this CD to new or old Prodigy fans.
