Description/Review:

This Train: the emperor's new band: This Train is a highly original, eclectic Christian band in the tradition of The Swirling Eddies, the Lost Dogs, or Jacob's Trouble. They have a base sound that can be described as a hybrid of The Stray Cats and either Barenaked Ladies or They Might Be Giants. Produced by Mark Robertson (Brighton, The Stand, Under Midnight, Rich Mullins, etc.), their third album was released on Organic Records in 2000. This is a delightful mix of rockabilly, country, surf instro, ska and swing that will appeal to fans of The W's, Deluxetone Rockets, The Squirrel Nut Zippers, or The Cherry Poppin Daddies. Witty, poignant, sardonic, these lyrics will leave you as emotionally wrung out as the music will leave you physically exhausted, if you give in to its seductive charms and boogie in an appropriately frenzied manner. The title track feels like it was written by Bill Mallonee, so there is gravitas to their frivolity. Songs include: 'I Wanna Be Your Man,' 'We'll Leave the Light On,' 'Screendoor,' 'She's A Rocket,' 'Emperor's New Band,' 'Jazz,' 'Technology,' 'Magic Bean,' 'The Way It Sounds,' 'No, Not One' and 'Monstertruck 2000,' plus an unlisted, untitled bonus track. 12 songs TT: 41:59 8-page insert w/lyrics--by Mike Delaney

Aaron Sprinkle: Lackluster (ex poor old lu) A minor superstar in his hometown of Seattle, Aaron Sprinkle isn't quite yet a household name anywhere else. He's the talented producer for Tooth & Nail/BEC artists like Kutless, Thousand Foot Krutch, Seven Places, FM Static, The Lonely Hearts (formerly Holland), Telecast, and Anberlin. Fans of '90s underground Christian rock remember him with the bands Poor Old Lu and Rose Blossom Punch. Fewer still know the gifted multi-instrumentalist's solo work—three little-known projects released through the small Silent Planet label and the now defunct Pamplin and Organic Records. Lackluster, showcasing Sprinkle's artistic and production skills, is a collection of songs from those solo recordings. Fans of melodic alternative folk/rock (Jars of Clay, The Choir, The Lonely Hearts (formerly Holland), The Beatles, Common Children, The Choir, Billy Corgan, and Poor Old Lu) will appreciate this music the most. Sprinkle's voice even resembles that of Dan Haseltine (Jars Of Clay) and Steve Hindalong (The Choir). Tooth & Nail Records released this collection February, 2004, consisting of songs from his out of print earlier solo albums titled Moontraveler (Organic Records-1999), The Kindest Days (Organic Records-2000), and Bareface (Silent Planet Records-2001), plus one previously unreleased song. Songs include: 'Really Something,' 'Not About To,' 'Sweeter Than Me,' 'All You Can Give,' 'Not All Bad,' 'Let Me In,' 'The Boy Who Stopped the World,' 'Solace,' 'Pillbox (previously unreleased),' 'The Kindest Days,' 'Colorblind,' 'What Sorry Could Be,' 'Genevieve,' and 'A Friend I Had.' 14 songs TT: 55:46 8-page insert--by Mike Delaney

Big Al's Swing Kids: Swing and Shout: This 'swing' album was released on Ionic Records in 1999 and features: 'Intro,' 'Spreadin' the Word,' 'Gth,' 'Swing, Swing, Swing,' 'Swing Thing,' 'King Of Swing,' 'Big Al's Boogie' and 'Swing and Shout.' 8 songs TT: 23:03 4-page insert w/lyrics--by Mike Delaney

Happily Ever After: Out with the Old...Swing with the new: (Mike Rowe of Tempest and Nineteen 88)13, swing tracks, Ionic Records, 1999

Believable Picnic: self titled: Here's a band with an unusual name, a distinctive sound, and an impressive musical pedigree. Guitarist/vocalist Jade Hanson is the older brother of Pray For Rain frontman Joel Hanson. This trio's clever whimsical lyrics rise and fall on a carnival carousel of power pop melodies laced with neo-punk guitar chops and acid stratocaster freak-outs! Produced by former Prince-associate Dez Dickerson, this was released on Absolute Records in 1996. It's for fans of modern rock with a taste for Monty Python-type humor. For fans of All Star United and Jellyfish musically, and Steve Taylor lyrically. Songs include: 'Days Of Joy,' 'Who's To Blame,' 'Shangri-La,' 'Big Fat Nothing,' 'Wasted,' 'Listen,' 'Bleed,' 'Mr. Good Intentions,' 'Spaceman' and 'Lion's Den.' 10 songs TT: 44:24 6-page insert w/lyrics--by Mike Delaney
