About this product
Hard to imagine - but here's an Instrumental Surf Music tribute(à la The Ventures under the influence of Capt. Beefheart and Electric Light Orchestra)to John Zorn! Golems of the Red Planet are a collision of lifers, iconoclasts, and joyful saboteurs drawn from the outer edges of art rock, jazz, surf, and the happily unclassifiable. Guitarist Harvey Gold, a founding force behind Akron's legendary Tin Huey, brings decades of boundary-pushing work with Half Cleveland, Sally Spring, The HiFis, and his solo It's Messy Vol. 1. Bassist Mark Allender-true Zornophile-emerges from The Pointless Orchestra and a string of idiosyncratic solo albums. Drummer Bob Ethington has anchored everything from Unit 5 and Glenn Lazear to The Robert Ethington Quintet. Cellist Matt Reese adds a melodic wild card honed with Trial of Lucy and Flying Carpet People. Together, they form a band whose collective résumé reads less like a CV and more like a map of creative resistance.Golems of the Red Planet were formed from the mud of radically diverse musicians drawn to John Zorn's Masada-compact, fiercely elegant compositions built to be exploded by other artists. The Golems' twist was to use surf music as a launching pad, not a destination, filtering these Ashkenazi Jewish folk modalities through reverb, propulsion, and a gleefully warped sense of possibility. InchStarting pointInch is the operative phrase while Surf Masada occasionally dives headlong into genre pleasures, the band's true instinct is insidious expansion. Eclectic to the core, the Golems treat surf as a language they're fluent in-but never obedient to-reshaping it with wit, muscle, and a lifetime of beautiful bad ideas.

![Various Artists - A Tribute to Nirvana (Various Artists) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/2bb34644-9177-4c8f-9458-ac40b0734df9.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
In 1993, Nirvana broke the mold with MTV Unplugged in New York, a concert that surprised everyone and unveiled a different side of Kurt Cobain and his band.Stripped of amps and artifice, the group delivered raw, vulnerable rock-a true sonic confession that still resonates today. Thirty years later, this album remains a cornerstone of rock and a source of inspiration for countless musicians.To honor the 30th anniversary of MTV Unplugged from Nirvana, seven artists from the UK, US, and France (Current Joys, Camille Jansen, Brad Stank, Levitation Room, Casino Hearts, Chris Staples, and Far Caspian) have come together to reinterpret some of the album's most legendary tracks. Each artist brings their unique style and story to these songs while staying true to their original soul, reminding us how Nirvana captured the essence of a generation searching for meaning and authenticity.This tribute captures the raw emotion and energy of Unplugged, infused with a fresh, contemporary sensitivity brought to life by today's voices and sounds. It's an homage that doesn't aim to imitate but rather explores these tracks through a new lens, with honesty and creativity. This record is for longtime fans and those discovering Nirvana for the first time-a bridge between eras, connecting the timelessness of rock's past with it's present
