Album Description The brainchild of guitarist Brad Laner, Los Angeles trio Medicine play a melodic, rhythmic style of noise-rock that has been tagged 'dream-pop.' Laner began performing in his early teens in such local bands as Vox Pop and Nervous Gender after developing a taste for such avant-garde rock performers as Captain Beefheart, Throbbing Gristle, Yoko Ono, and the Residents. The band released 3 albums starting in 1992, and now return on Astralwerks, inspired by Kid 606 and vocalist Shannon Lee, a classically trained vocalist and daughter of Bruce Lee. 12 tracks. Astralwerks. 2003. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThe 90s are over and rightly so.... H. P. O. Meentzen | Amersfoort, Netherlands | 03/18/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Within a space of weeks I got familiar with the Medicine discography. Surely, with 93's Buried Life CD a great shoegazer/noise album was accomplished. What remains to this day are -the weirdness, -sensuality, -occasional pop sensibility. Shannon Lee's vocals are frighteningly sexy and I think that her voice fits in better with this formula than Beth Thompson's, who was on those great feedback driven tunes of yesteryear. Let's face it: it's almost 20 years that Psychocandy from the Jesus & Mary Chain heralded the fusion of 60s melodies with wonderful walls of noise. Now Brad Laner surprises us with a fusion of 60s melodies with current day electronica with makes for a pleasant psychedelic audiotrip. It doesn't seem like The Buried Life, but I can understand that it's made by the same person. Medicine is Brad Laner. Check this out, full stop." What happened to the old Medicine? Christopher Blosser | Kew Gardens, NY United States | 10/11/2004 (1 out of 5 stars) "I honestly wanted to like this album, I really did. Perhaps with a few more listens I'll be able to approach it with an open mind and appreciate it like the positive reviewers -- but at the present moment, I have to say after several tries, it's just as annoying as Bob Mould's recent ventures into techno. Sorry, but it doesn't do it for me. Perhaps it's the fact that when I think of Medicine, I prefer the psychedelic-noise masterpieces that were "Shot Forth Self Living," "The Buried Life" and "Her Highness", and it's those albums I'd recommend to my friends for the classic and beloved "Medicine" sound." Beautifully Executed harmonies noise with a hint of love ! EquinoX | Tempe AZ, | 04/03/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Beautifully Executed harmonies noise, and sound. I don't know if it's just a new sound for Medicine or maybe a new growth of creativity, ether way I think its amazing continuation of the sound development. I do like the older sound but if an artist can't grow with there work then there just another top 10 pop band with no music ability. This is not only new but it still has that Medicine aftertaste. This Album ROCKS !!"
