CD REVIEWS

Led Zeppelin flies again

get better and this six-track disc provides
the proof. Vancouver’s premier ambas-
sadors of rock °n’ roll specialize in high-
energy, guitar-based pop. It’s big party fun
with a sassy smirk.

These punky nerds tour a lot, so they're
really quite ight, and we're not talking
about the mainlined Jaegermceister, kids.
Buddy Holly Convention is produced by
Kurt Bloch.

Veda Hille — Here is a picture (Songs
for E Carr), The Canada Council For The Arts
1998

Hille’s star is on the rise and she’s an originai to
watch. These tracks were commissioned by Maseall
Dance of Vancouver as a choreogra-
phy score. While the dance premiers
Tater this year, Hille liked what she
heard and the disc is the result.

The work is a collaboration of
sorts. Hille cut and paste words
actually written by Emily Carr and
set them to music. The collection
offers a picture of the internal land-
scape of Carr’s life with snippets gathered from journals,
books and letters.

Hiile combines jazz and folk influences. Her ideas
are fleshed out with passionate delivery vy fellow musi-
cians Ford Pier on guitar and organ, Peggy Lee on
cello, Martin walton on bass and Barry Mirochnick on
drums, guitar and piano innards.

The music speaks directly to the heart of anvone
who has admired the works of Hille and Carr as individ-
ual artists and everyone clse who enjoys our magnificent
West Coast forests.

Led Zeppelin — BBC Sessions, Atlantic
1997

The Zeppelin reinflates with the official
release of tracks recorded for BBC radio
broadcast on John Peel’s Top Gear, Chris
Grant’s Tasty Pop
Sunday and Radio
One’s In Concert series
between 1969 and
1971.

You may choose to vili-
fy the band as one prime example of
1970s narcissistic corporate rock
excess. You may number yourself
among those who worship at the clectric alter of Page
and Plant.

Set aside any biases for a moment and listen with
fresh ears. You'll be rewarded with a double-disc docu-
menting a unique band in full flight. Intuitive jams and

; incendiary live moments
define this clectric blues
time capsule.

Highlights include a
super trippy 18:36 long
version of Dased and
Confused. It’s just the
over-the-top kind of stuff
that brought on the back-

lash by vociferous two-
minute punk specialists in
the mid-1970s.
