Advantages: An all-time great album Disadvantages: What disadvantages?!
When 'Pablo Honey' arrived to the world in 1994, many lesser witted people dubbed Creep a one hit wonder and Radiohead little more than a stop-fill gap between the early nineties Nirvana-led grunge revolution and the mid-nineties Brit-pop era. How wrong they were.
Their second album 'The Bends' designed and moulded the band into a superpower from which they never looked back. And the most serious question asked or topic discussed about this album in years gone by?? Not the lack of 'filler' tracks or 'radio-friendly' music, but whether 'The Bends' or 'OK Computer' is not only Radiohead's best album, but one of the best albums rock music has ever produced.
Opening track 'Planet Telex' helps us on our epic journey, and acts as an excellent compliment to the following three tracks, all of which are huge pieces of music.

Toni & Guy
I have visited a few of Toni & Guy salons, so I now feel that I can write this review.
In 1963 Toni & Guy first salon opened in Clapham London. From there on in, there was no stopping them, nearly every big town has one. If I am correct they also have or are expanding abroad.
If you have visited 1 or more Toni & Guy salon?s you will notice that they are all the same, from the chairs to the sinks, the walls to the floor. Each salon is identical, being the inside.
They have a uniform of Black and White. Black bottoms with a White top, they do have their own logo t-shirts in which some staff do wear.
The salons I have visited ?
Chichester in West Sussex, owned by a man called Jeff.
Basildon in Essex, owned by a man called Billy. This opened in August 1999. Billy is sponsoring Miss Essex at the moment ...

Advantages: Lots of big tracks Disadvantages: Nothing specific
The Oakland, California group, Tony! Toni! Toné!, released their second album, ?The Revival? in 1990. The R&B group dropped this album right in the middle of the New Jack Swing era of the genre, and so this is much of what you get from the band as well as a little Soul from them as you have Raphael Saadiq lead on the vocals with his brother D?Wayne Wiggins and cousin Timothy Christian Riley (in addition to many other people with instrumentals).
1. ?Feels Good?
To get this album underway, you have a track which has the band getting down with their first chart-topping single. It has them work with Mopreme Shakur (stepbrother to 2Pac) in a banger of a jam which has them throw down some heavy, feel-good New Jack Swing to the listeners. It is just the right way to begin things as you hear that they choose to excite listeners on Breakbeats ...

Album Notes
Tony Trischka Band includes: Tony Trischka (acoustic guitar, electric banjo); Glen Sherman (vocals, guitar); Michael Amendola (saxophone); Marco Accattatis (bass); Grisha Alexiev (drums). This is a band Tony Trischka assembled in the late 1990s. They're fairly young players, with varied pedigrees and resumes, who share a common love for braiding together a range of musical languages. Electric guitarist Glenn Sherman brings a rock sensibility as a player and soloist, while saxophonist Michael Amendola, bass guitarist Marco Accattatis, and drummer Grisha Alexiev have distinct jazz chops. With the exception of the bass player, they're all contributing composers to the ensemble. The few vocals are handled by guitarist Sherman and are treated as another melodic line, laying within the mix of the other instruments. Most of the pieces feature themes which lock the banjo melodically with either the saxophone or the guitar, or present the banjo in counterpoint to the tandem lines of the other two.
Album Reviews
Dirty Linen (8-9/99, p.71) - "...[Trischka] takes his experiments farther afield than ever....the feel of an easygoing but razorsharp New Orleans street band."
