About this product
On their duet records, John Renbourn and Stefan Grossman meet on the common turf of American blues and Celtic fiddle tunes and airs. Under The Volcano is collection of seven duets, including an extended four-part work for which the album is named, and one solo by each of the players, the album has what has come to be the characteristic sound of the duo. Reflecting what Stefan quite accurately describes as Inchan interweaving of styles,Inch it is quite difficult, and somewhat pointless, to tell which of the two is playing the lead in most parts of the album. The original compositions are at once down-home and high-flown, brimming with contrapuntal funkiness, and the music manages to sound both loose and precise. Grossman and Renbourn contribute equally to the composition and arrangement of the traditional material. They aren't uptight about overdubbing or using the occasional electric guitar texture, either. But the lingering impression is one of crisp, snapping strings and air being moved by wooden-boxed guitars. InchThe material is a mix of traditional and original, the playing superb. Grossman and Renbourn combine their talents and mix of styles here to produce appealing instrumental music of rare beauty and taste.Inch - AllMusic

*BACK IN PRINT!!! InchWrecking BallInch was one thing. Now comes the long-awaited anti-austerity blast-a-thon with the teeth, venom and one-of-a-kind music of Jello Biafra.The second full-length from Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine picks up where last fall's SHOCK-U-PY! Left off. Covered in gruesome detail this time are corruption (InchThe Brown Lipstick ParadeInch), InchWerewolves of Wall Street,Inch InchRoad Rage,Inch and corporate McMedia making pop stars out of small-time crooks to shield the big ones (InchJohn DillingerInch) or tabloid pop stars to lobotomize everyone else (InchHollywood Goof DiseaseInch). The title track shines a light on our never-ending foreign policy disasters in ways even Jello's spoken word albums never did. InchCraptureInch is the perfect song to play for those lovely End Times believers, pointing out how much better the world would be for everyone else left behind-replete with melodies on the scale Biafra hasn't really touched since InchMoon Over Marin.Inch Above all, White People and the Damage Done rocks! No pop punk here, just Jello and crew taking punk fire in unexplored directions, with wall-of-sound, in-your-face production from Marshall Lawless and Matt Kelley (lots of Jello projects, Hieroglyphics, The Coup, Digital Underground, Zen Guerrilla). Lineup retains the double-barreled guitar attack of Ralph Spight (Victims Family, Freak Accident) and Kimo Ball (Freak Accident, Griddle, Mol Triffid), joined by bassist Andrew Weiss (Rollins Band, Ween, Butthole Surfers, more) and drummer Paul Della Pelle (Helios Creed, Nik Turner's Space Ritual, and Philly HC legends Ruin).Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine will be touring through most of 2013 on at least three continents to promote this beast. The live shows are the real deal. If you like OFF! #or Dead Ending, fer cryin' out loud, don't miss this!
