Peter Thomas 100% Cotton (Crippled Dick Hot Wax/Fusion III) More mod late '60s German crime-flick tunes. Danke schön, Crippled Dick, you've delivered again. 9 (RB) Various The Apostle soundtrack (Rising Tide) Lovett, Loveless, Cash and the Carters reunite church and country. Praise hymn! 8 (CY) G.P. WU Don't Go Against the Grain (Universal) This is like a group for disgruntled former Wu-Tang affiliates, only they're half good... 7 (SC) Fatal Mambo Rumbagitation (Tinder/Koch) Salsaioli, they call it: Latin salsa spiked with French garlic and gypsy harissa. Tasty! 7 (RB) Ol Skool Self-titled (Universal) Pretty, formula-driven slow jams designed to get your groove on. 6 (GD) Mary Lou Lord Got No Shadow (Work/Sony) Jangle bore... rock snore... a folk store liquidating. No gems... might as well be Jewel. 4 (CY) Brooklyn Bounce The Second Attack (Attic) Groups like this are the ones that are responsible for giving electronic dance music a bad name. 3 (Mateo) Dixie Chicks Wide Open Spaces (Monument/Sony) In case you thought you could make it in Nashville today without a model's bod. Alternate title: I Bleached My Hair for This? 3 (CY)
Dan Gibson's Solitudes In the Midst of Angels (Solitudes) Trickling streams, airy synths, celestial harmonies, all somehow more abrasive than Napalm Death. 2 (RB)
