Austin’s Butthole Surfers build a better noise EXAN SURFERS don long, slender bodies; Scottish rockers generate warm feelings; Hendrixian heaviness is highlighted. Butthole Surfers — Indepen- dent Worm Saloon, Capitol Records 1993 Tell me a goad one and maybe "Il cry, the Butthole voice advises. They tell a lot of good ones at the big bar in the Independent Worm Saloon. Sometimes, swirling munchkin voices spin away between the ear holes. ‘I'm flying,” they chirp. The happy-land chant speeds and slows and fades into a choppy metal riff and a fuzzified vocal- guitar soupiness. And so opens Michael Becker RECORD REVIEW blow-by-blow account of the 20 songs included in this collection. Most of the biggies surface —- Bob D's All Along The Watchtower, fimi's live Woodstock rendition of Star Spangled Banner, the Monterey guitar-torching live version of Wild Thing... Most of the tracks are lifted from Electric Ladyland and Are You Ex- perienced. In digital form, the stark stereo- phonic separations are lean enough to allow you to close your eyes and walk around the players. More Jimi guitar? Adjust the balance and silence the vocals. € Equal parts intensively primitive and complex visionary, Hendrix stands the test of decades. Hendrix revisited comes packaged with an informative 24-page booklet that provides a INDEPENDENT WORM Saloon, the latest from the Butthole this crustaceous odyssey. Surfers,was produced by Led Zepman John Paul Jones. Texan Butthole Surfers play crazy with style. Punch up The Ballad of Naked Man and it's ban- jo yokel music circa Limelighters. The Annoying Song is just that, really annoying, with raging-bee sounds and buzzing guitars. it’s weird. It disrupts. It is likeable stuff. Led Zepman John Paul Jones produces this fine flirt with funny. Runrig — Amazing Things, Chrysalis Records 1993 Halfway between the Oyster Band and U2, Scotland’s Runrig draw deeply from West Highlands soil for a roots-enriched arena rock mix that should take them over the top. There is already much Runrig buzz back home thanks to the band’s penchant for playing live at castles and in large tents. The stock in trade on Amazing Things is an evocative music shot through with the kind of commit- ted idealistic sentiment sometimes much needed in order to vanquish those cynical devils flaming at our sides. Strangely enough, the high point of the disc is found when the band discards pop music convention entirely and breaks out a with a haunting choral lament, Pog Aon Oidhche Earraich (A Kiss One Spring Evening). Jimi Hendrix — The Ultimate Experience, MCA Records 1993 Neo-hipsters should know that Lenny Kravitz is making his pile with the creative push of the ghost of this fusion man.
