About this product
Reason in Decline, Archers of Loaf's first studio album since the 1998 of White Trash Heroes, is no nostalgic, low-impact reboot. When they emerged from North Carolina's '90s indie-punk incubator, the Archers' hurtling, sly, gloriously dissonant roar was a mythologized touchstone of slacker-era refusal. But this new LP is an entirely different noise. In fact, it's a startling revelation. Guitarists Eric Bachmann and Eric Johnson, once headstrong smartasses inciting a series of artful pileups on the band's four studio albums and EP, are now a fluidly complementary, sonically advanced unit. Notably, Johnson's signature trebly lines peal clearly above the din instead of struggling to be heard. Today, singer-songwriter Bachmann's lyrics balance righteous wrath with a complex tangle of adult perspective. He still spits bile, but it's less likely to concern scene politics, music trends, or shady record labels thwarting the dreams of a young rock band. Bachmann puts it bluntly InchWhat I really think about going back to the Archers and doing a new record is that the three other members of this band are awesome. It's not about responding to the past or whatever our bullshit legacy is. I just wanted to work with these guys because I knew the chemistry we had and that we still have. I knew that was rare.Inch

![Archers of Loaf - Vee Vee - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3e55d03f-f83b-41c4-bc98-ffb0c62ff7b6.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Their best-selling album to date and first full-length, VEE VEE was a slight departure from the bombastic noise-pop that characterized Archers of Loaf's previous work, and the albums success proved that the band wasnt just a flash in the pan.
Jazz organist 'Brother' Jack McDuff (born Eugene McDuffy in 1926 September 17, 1926 - January 23, 2001) was second only to the infamous Jimmy Smith in terms of fame and the impact he made with the King of keyboard instruments - the Hammond B-3 Organ. Live At Parnells' is made up of 15 tracks selected from a week-long engagement in June 1982, featuring Danny Wollinski on sax, guitarist Henry Johnson and Garrick King on the drums. Stylistically, Jack and his group cover a lot of ground, especially for an organ quartet - from beautifully old school funky, gritty blues with tracks like Walkin' The Dog & Blues 1 & 8, jazz standards like April In Paris, and A Night In Tunisia.

2017 . Mick Chillage, the hardest working man in (ambient) show business, has joined forces with Eric InchtheInch Taylor to make our daily lives go down just a bit sweeter. They've coined themselves the Architects of Existence, and, yes, it's a weighty moniker, but listening to these four epic-lengths pieces of broadband drift you're happy that the dynamic duo's at least got lofty ambitions. It's pleasing to know that between them they've cooked up one helluva work of sonic fiction here. Grandiose, epoch-spanning, this is the stuff that dreams are made of. Chillage and Taylor are two of electronica's Nobel laureates, so that even the luxurious gyrating buzz of their metallic sequencers make nice on the inner ear while their synths gently weep. And hats off to the artists for wearing their analog hearts on their sleeves-the second movements' slow-twist discourse is equal parts Steve Roach and mentor Namlook, along with a hint of Mark Isham's score from The Hitcher-emotional environmental music of pearlescent luster and quiet reckoning, drawn with careful poise and an Architect's touch.
