Q6 www.ExpressGayNews.com • January 12, 2004 Maximum_Volume Pumping It Up with New Album Releases Reviews By Mary Damiano

Various Artists: ‘Spiders From Venus’ (Skipping Discs) The indie label Skipping Discs specializes in themed compilations, and on their latest, Spiders From Venus, indie women artists and female-fronted bands cover David Bowie songs. The result is another winner—a quirky, enchanting CD filled with hypnotic audio images that work as dance tracks or mood music. From the moment Bernadette McCallion’s voice wafts through the speakers intoning David Bowie’s “Space Oddity,” you know you’re in for something different. McCallion, the lead singer for Pitch Black Dream, turns Bowie’s spacey song on its ear, lending the song an ethereal quality. Tegan & Sara, featuring Grace Nocturnal, give “Rebel Rebel” a raw garage band sound. “All the Young Dudes” is another winner, with a punky flair by Switchblade Kittens. And Essra Mohawk gives “Golden Years” a fresh update while preserving the mood and funky groove of Bowie’s original track. One of the few false notes in Spiders From Venus is “Modern Love” by Astrid Young, who turns the bouncy tune into an off-key dirge. The fun thing about Spiders From Venus is the gender-bending aspect of the CD. It’s a nice change to hear a woman sing the line from “Rebel Rebel” that goes Hot tramp, I love you so. Spiders From Venus complements rather than competes with David Bowie and is both a fitting tribute and an original concept.

Various Artists: ‘Lost in Boston’ (Fynsworth Alley) Before shows get to Broadway, they undergo an arduous try-out process, during which they get tweaked and fine-tuned until they’re deemed ready for the Great White Way. With musicals, songs often get cut, and when a show becomes successful, these lost numbers become footnotes to theatre history. Lost in Boston is a compilation of songs that were cut from several successful musicals, including The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Promises Promises, Chicago, 110 in the Shade, Annie Get Your Gun, West Side Story and The King and I. As the liner notes explain, songs are often cut for time restraints, physical limitations or because they simply don’t play well in front of an audience. Sometimes, as this CD shows, the songs just stink. “An English Music Hall” from The Mystery of Edwin Drood is one of the winners, a song that personifies the spirit of the show. “Waiting” from The King and I is also a fun addition. “Let’s Make It a Night” from Silk Stockings has a sexy vibe, while “Take It in Stride” from Annie Get Your Gun is a foot-tapping pleaser. The three songs included from 110 in the Shade, including “Just Fine” and “SweetRiver” fall more into the stinker category, plodding and too show-specific to stand on their own. Lost in Boston also includes a rundown of each song and explains the reasons behind cutting it from the show. This information, as well as the songs themselves, makes Lost in Boston a necessary addition to every Broadway buff’s library.
