Synopsis

Album Description

It's been nearly a quarter of a century since one of the most celebrated, and influential bands of our generation, Love And Rockets formed. In 1985 Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins departed from being Gothic Rock icons with the highly coveted Bauhaus and merged sparkling New Wave Disco dust influenced T. Rex Boogie, Rockabilly, Punk, Folk, proto-Rave, and Psychedelia into one big ball of confusion. So it's only natural that eventually similar minded multi-faceted artists including both legends such as Frank Black, Flaming Lips, Stephen Perkins (Janes Addiction), Dandy Warhols, and newer buzzworthy acts A Place to Bury Strangers, Snowden, War Tapes, and Blaqk Audio pay their respect to a band whom had influenced their style.

CD Reviews

Finally a Tribute to Alternative Pioneers!

AliAJ | Hollywood,CA | 09/07/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Finally a Tribute to Alterna/Goth Pioneers Love and Rockets!

The Smiths, The Cure and Love and Rockets were the Alternative/Indie Pioneers of the 80's & 90's. When 120 minutes on MTV was the place to find great new bands these guys were way ahead of the curve. From Goth to Pop to Experimental Electronica and Folk. L&R did it all first.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club would not exist without them.

Frank Black,The Dandy Warhols,Flaming Lips and Maynard from Tool all pay tribute on this comp packed with songs from a wide array of diverse Artists but, some of the stand out tracks are from newer acts like; Blaqk Audio (Davey & Jade of AFI) doing a more modernized electro version of "No New Tale to Tell". War Tapes does a dark and rocking " Love Me" that harkens back to L&R's Bauhaus roots. Other great tracks show the softer side of their career with Ian Moore/Lossy Coils doing "Sweet FA". Snowden, Astra Heights and Vex all turn in well played and ear catching tracks. A great way to learn about the roots of Alterna music while discovering some great new bands."

A great comp for a great band

"Some great covers of Love and Rockets classics. From the surprisingly catchy Better Than Ezra to Blaqk Audio this is a fun comp with some amazing artwork."

Good stuff!

"I'm not familiar with Love and Rockets, so I apparently missed some good tunes back when they were hot. So I get to experience what I missed with this tribute album, and these artists sound stellar. I'll have to dig up the real deal and listen to the originals."
