Made in Japan $7.18 Recorded over three nights in August 1972, Deep Purple's Made in Japan was the record that brought the band to headliner status in the U.S. and elsewhere, and it remains a landmark in the history of heavy metal music. Since reorganizing with singer Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover in 1969, Deep Purple had recorded three important albums -- Deep Purple in Rock, Fireball, and Machine Head -- and used the material to build a fierce live show. Made in Japan, its selections drawn from those albums, documented that show, in which songs were drawn out to ten and even nearly 20 minutes with no less intensity, as guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and organist Jon Lord soloed extensively and Gillan sang in a screech that became the envy of all metal bands to follow. The signature song, of course, was "Smoke on the Water," with its memorable riff, which went on to become an American hit single. But those extended workouts, particularly the moody "Child in Time," with Gillan's haunting falsetto wail and Blackmore's amazingly fast playing, and "Space Truckin'," with Lord's organ effects, maintained the onslaught, making this a definitive treatment of the band's catalog and its most impressive album. By stretching out and going to extremes, Deep Purple pushed its music into the kind of deliberate excess that made heavy metal what it became, and their audience recognized the breakthrough, propelling the original double LP into the U.S. Top Ten and sales over a million copies. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Ian Gillan - Vocals; Ian Paice - Drums; Jon Lord - Keyboards, Piano, Organ; Ritchie Blackmore - Guitar; Roger Glover - Bass, Synthesizer; Roy Glover, Jr. - Bass |

Made in Japan [The Remastered Edition] $11.18 Recorded over three nights in August 1972, Deep Purple's Made in Japan was the record that brought the band to headliner status in the U.S. and elsewhere, and it remains a landmark in the history of heavy metal music. Since reorganizing with singer Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover in 1969, Deep Purple had recorded three important albums -- Deep Purple in Rock, Fireball, and Machine Head -- and used the material to build a fierce live show. Made in Japan, its selections drawn from those albums, documented that show, in which songs were drawn out to ten and even nearly-20-minutes with no less intensity, as guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and organist Jon Lord soloed extensively and Gillan sang in a screech that became the envy of all metal bands to follow. The signature song, of course, was "Smoke on the Water," with its memorable riff, which went on to become an American hit single. But those extended workouts, particularly the moody "Child in Time," with Gillan's haunting falsetto wail and Blackmore's amazingly fast playing, and "Space Truckin'," with Lord's organ effects, maintained the onslaught, making this a definitive treatment of the band's catalog and its most impressive album. By stretching out and going to extremes, Deep Purple pushed its music into the kind of deliberate excess that made heavy metal what it became, and their audience recognized the breakthrough, propelling the original double LP into the U.S. Top Ten and sales over a million copies. On November 17, 1998, Warner Archives/Rhino issued "the remastered edition" of the album, a two-CD set that added more than 20 minutes of encores on a second disc that contained "Black Night," previously released only as a European B-side, and versions of "Speed King" and Little Richard's "Lucille" that were previously unreleased. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Ian Gillan - Vocals; Ian Paice - Drums; Jon Lord - Organ, Piano, Keyboards; Ritchie Blackmore - Guitar; Roger Glover - Bass, Synthesizer; Roy Glover, Jr. - Bass |

M.A.D.E. $11.14 Despite his longtime association with Jay-Z, the best and most popular rapper alive during the early 2000s, Memphis Bleek nonetheless continually struggled to overcome his protégé reputation and break through on his own, and his third album, M.A.D.E., again falls a bit short of that mark. Even so, it's a marked improvement for Bleek, a definite step forward and a sure showcase of his growing maturity. His first two albums, Coming of Age (1999) and Understanding (2000), had their moments, usually on the singles, but for the most part, they weren't lasting statements. If anything, they stated that Bleek was no Jay-Z and had a long way to go if he ever wanted to approach those heights. Then he dropped off for a while. In fact, it took him three years until he returned with M.A.D.E., which is longer than some less fortunate rappers' careers -- in other words, a short lifetime in rap years. But the time off seemingly served Bleek well. Throughout M.A.D.E., his flow is tighter than ever, he gets the best beats of his career, and he performs with ferocity on most songs: the opening run of "Everything's a Go" (with Jay-Z), "Round Here" (with Trick Daddy and T.I.), and "Just Blaze, Bleek & Free" (with Freeway) -- all of which are produced by Just Blaze -- get the album off to an astounding start. There's really nowhere to go but down from here, of course, but the remaining hour of music has its moments, albeit sporadic ones. In particular, Kanye West turns in a surprisingly straight interpolation of Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T." (titled "I Wanna Love U"), Scott Storch turns in a moody Dr. Dre-sounding production ("We Ballin'"), and Just Blaze turns in yet another hot track, a laid-back collabo with Beanie Sigel and Jay-Z ("Hypnotic"). In contrast, there are some fumbles, in particular a run-of-the-mill Nate Dogg duet that aims for "21 Questions" territory but misses. Taken as a whole, M.A.D.E. isn't the standup statement of purpose that Bleek needed to drop, especially after he spent three years on the down-low, but it's a noteworthy stride forward for the young rapper. Sure, a lot of the accolades should go out to Just Blaze, who carries the bulk of this album with his endlessly inventive productions, but Bleek deserves his share of props too. A lot of would-be critics wrote him off years prior, yet he soldiered on, held his composure, and returned with a sporadically great album. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi Performers: Denim - Vocals (Background); Brian Horton - Flute; E Bass - Guitar |

Made in Europe $31.99 This live recording, made in 1975, comes from Ritchie Blackmore's last three concerts with the band before leaving to form Rainbow. It features Deep Purple Mark III, with David Coverdale on vocals and Glenn Hughes on bass and vocals. Coverdale is a convincing hard rock singer, though he lacks the winning quirkiness of Ian Gillan, while Hughes is a busier and more up-front player than Roger Glover. While "Burn" and "Mistreated" are worthy successors to previous Deep Purple tunes, the remaining material is weaker, and overall, this stuff is definitely a couple of notches below the glory days of Made in Japan. But Blackmore, for his swan song, still manages to inject a good deal of excitement, and his invention and fire raise the proceedings up somewhat. ~ Stephen Raiteri, Rovi Performers: David Coverdale - Vocals; Glenn Hughes - Guitar (Bass), Vocals; Ian Paice - Drums; Jon Lord - Organ (Hammond), Keyboards; Ritchie Blackmore - Guitar |

Made in the Shade $14.38 Louisiana's Red Stick Ramblers, led by the twin fiddle attack of Kevin Wimmer and Linzay Young, are a versatile little modern string band as likely to burst into some Hot Club jazz as they are to update some classic Cajun 2-step into a chooglin' bit of swamp blues. On Made in the Shade, their fourth album and first for Sugar Hill Records, they do both of these things and more, employing everything from flamenco to Creole strains in their musical gumbo, a mix the band calls "Cajun gypsy swing." Warmly recorded (Dirk Powell handled most of the production work) and full of an easy, joyous ambiance, Made in the Shade's 12 tracks show a band that is at once traditional and experimental (often within the same song) and expert at fusing the two without sounding like they've created some sort of 2-step Frankenwaltz in the process. From the first track, the title tune "Made in the Shade," a gliding, easy rolling account of distilling corn mash, to the final one, "The Smeckled Suite," an Eastern-sounding flamenco tango jazz stew, the Ramblers deliver a delightful set of swamp-tinged vernacular roots music. Other highlights include a loose-as-a-goose Cajun blues called "Katrina" (named after the 2005 late summer storm that nearly wiped New Orleans off the map), a cover of Bob Wills' "Don't Cry, Baby," and a rollicking version of Clifton Chenier's classic zydeco stomp "Hot Tamale Baby." A wonderful album by a wonderful band. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi Performers: Blake Miller - Accordion, Piano; Kevin Wimmer - Fiddle, Vocals; Linzay Young - Fiddle, Vocals; Chas Justus - Guitar, Vocals; Chris Stafford - Guitar (Electric); Dirk Powell - Piano, Guitar (Acoustic); Eric Frey - Vocals, Bass, Guitar (Bass); Glenn Fields - Drums; Wilson Savoy - Piano |

Made of Mud $13.58 Dana Cooper has been knocking around the margins of popular music for a long time now; his major-label debut was released in 1973, and the lead-off track of this album, "Step into the Light," was co-written with his old partner Shake Russell three decades ago. But, perhaps because of his juvenile-sounding tenor and artless phrasing (somewhere between Jackson Browne and the Eagles' Timothy B. Schmit) and the timelessness of his folk-rock arrangements, he sounds much younger than his years on Made of Mud. His literate, if cliché-ridden lyrics range from confessional statements of love like "Right out Loud" to antiwar topical efforts like "Sit This One Out" and philosophical musings like the title song. He can rock out, as he does on those last two songs, or take a slower, more formal approach, as on "Bird on the Wing." And sometimes, staccato rhythms and slight atonality complement the abstraction of the lyric, as on "Comic Tragedy." Made of Mud is not likely to change the journeyman nature of a career that has kept Cooper working without granting him much popular recognition, but it is unfailingly appealing and shows glimmers of individual talent. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Adam Bednarik - Bass (Electric); David Jacques - Bass (Upright), Bass (Electric), Double Bass, Guitar (Bass); Eric Fritsch - Hammond B3, Slide Guitar, Sampling, Clavinet, Organ (Hammond), Piano; Steve Herman - Flugelhorn; Steve Hermann - Flugelhorn, Trumpet; Dana Cooper - Harmonica, Vocals, Guitar (Acoustic); Paul Griffith - Percussion, Drums; Richard McLaurin - Mandolin, Guitar (Electric), |

Made in Germany $18.39 Having lost its second major-label recording contract following the release of its ninth studio album, Future Games: A Magical-Kahauna Dream, in 1977, Spirit toured Europe in the winter of 1978, resulting in the release of the group's first live album, which appeared in three different configurations in three different territories. The basic source of the album was the band's March 11, 1978, show at the Rainbow in London. The British version, on Illegal Records, was called Live Spirit, which was also the title of the U.S. album on Spirit's own Potato Records label, but the West German release was called Made in Germany. All three versions include performances of five vintage Spirit songs, "Animal Zoo," "1984," "Nature's Way," "It's All the Same," and "I Got a Line on You," as well as the previously unreleased songs "Looking Down From a Mountain" and "Hollywood Dream." To these, the British album adds "Downer" and a cover of the Troggs' (by way of Jimi Hendrix) "Wild Thing." Neither of those tracks appear on the U.S. LP, which substitutes two other new Spirit songs, "Rock 'N' Roll Planet" and "These Are Words," recorded in Florida. The German version is identical to the U.S. one in its contents (albeit with a different song sequence) except that it adds one more track, recorded in Germany, "Rockpalast Jam," referring the German TV show Rockpalast, on which the group appeared. Thus, Made in Germany is a composite of performances from several different locations, and it also sounds like a fair amount of editing and overdubbing was done in the studio. The new songs, particularly "Rockpalast Jam" and "Rock 'N' Roll Planet," are slight as compositions, though they provide a structure for guitarist/songwriter Randy California's inventive improvisations. The familiar material is well-performed by the trio of California, bassist Larry "Fuzzy" Knight, and Ed Cassidy, with "It's All the Same" stretched out to ten minutes to allow room for a drum solo before segueing into the band's biggest hit and natural show closer, "I Got a Line on You." "This CD, we are bold enough to consider one of the best live LP's in rock-history," the liner notes say, and if that seems a considerable exaggeration, nevertheless this is an album that should be enjoyed by Spirit's fan base. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Ed Cassidy - Percussion, Drums; Larry Knight - Bass; Randy California - Bass, Guitar, Vocals |

You Made Me [Japan Bonus Track] $38.39 As the former lead singer of Buck Cherry, Josh Todd had a hard rock edge that worked. On this album, his first under his own moniker, the performer offers up a series of slick, radio-friendly rock tunes that are slightly catchy but far from memorable. In fact, disposable might be a crueler but more honest assessment. Such an example is the opening "Mind Infection," which veers all over the musical map from rock to grunge to a metal-cum-nu metal malaise. The Limp Bizkit style of "Broken" and "Blast" has a nice opening, but then descends into something Methods of Mayhem or Crazy Town might try on for size. The build-up to the chorus is OK, but then completely misses the mark. The softer touches on "The Walls" seems safe, but far too clichéd despite the improved chorus and arrangement. The tighter power riffs on "Flowers & Cages" fares better, sounding like an angry Jimmy Eat World in places. Possibly the highlight is "Shine," which recalls Creed or Collective Soul as guitarists Mike Hewitt and Jesse Logan live up to its song title. The melodic "Afraid" follows a similar blueprint with Todd singing more than growling. However, one sleeper is the mid-tempo pop/rock of "Circles," which is far catchier and infectious than nearly everything else presented. The play-by-numbers rave-up "Straight Jacket" brings to mind a military styled Nine Inch Nails as Todd echoes the refrain often. The last few numbers are basically filler, including the appropriately titled "Wasted." [The album's Japan-only version added a bonus track.] ~ Jason MacNeil, Rovi |
