RED HOT CHILI
      PEPPERS

        BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIK

With   their   next   to   last  album
"Mother's Milk" they become one of the
best funk and roll bands.  On this one
they   are   working   together   with
producer Rick Rubin, who was the first
producer  in  80s  to  put heavy metal
guitar   in  to  the  funk  (Run  DMC,
Beastie  Boys).   He  took  out of the
RHCP  the  thing they are best in, and
that  is naked live playing.  Group is
made  of  excellent  musicians, so the
voice  is the worst part of the sound.
Vocal  parts  are really  weak but the
music  is  mixed  up with fragments of
funk,  hard  rock,  speed and hip-hop.
The  quality of sound is lost a little
bit  'coz  of Rubin's putting into the
first  plan  live  music, so that RHCP
sounds  like  the  best garage band in
the  world  (and  they  are !!!).  And
that  means  a  lot  to  everybody who
prefers live music.


   LIVING COLOUR

              BISCUITS

This  mini LP contens six not released
before songs recorded live on concerts
or taken live in studio.  This mini LP
shows   Living   Colour  the   one  of
absolute  the  strongest  musicians at
todays  rock-scene.  Living Colour are
absolutly   brilliant   while  playing
their  own  versions  of James Brown's
"Talkin'  Loud And Sayin' Nothing", Al
Green's  "Love  And  Happines", Talkin
Heads's "Memories Can't Wait" and Jimi
Hendrix's  "Burning  Of  The  Midnight
Lamp".   They  are fast  and powerful,
but  never  boring and always come out
with something new and impressive.


     THE CULT

              CEREMONY
 
Ian  Astbury  and  Billy Duffy are for
long  time  now  known  as  The  Cult,
taking from time to time top musicians
on  drums,  bass and this time also on
keyboards.   They  made  typical  Cult
album  with  tipical  Cult  songs like
"Wild  Hearted  Son",  "Ceremony"  and
"Sweet  Salvations".   Album is god as
one  part,  but  it  misses songs like
"Wild  Flower" or "Fire Woman".  Album
shows  fascination  with  America  and
it's  native  culture, maybe something
like  U2  from "Rattle And Hum" album.
With  song  "Heart  Of Soul" they have
entered  into  heavy trend of acoustic
ballads.


      RAMONES

             RAMONESMANIA

This   double   LP   contents   almost
everything  what  you  should have (or
want  to)  from Ramones.  Ofcourse, as
always  in  such situations some songs
are  missing,  this  time  from "Brain
Drain"  but  it  isn't  so  important.
Interesting  is  choice of songs, 'coz
there  are  few  which  wasn't hits in
their  time,  but group probably likes
them.   With  this  album is on proper
way  celebrated 15 years of contravers
punk career:  short, fast and tough.


      EXTREME

      EXTREME II: PORNOGRAFFITTY
 
Hit  songs  like  "Get The Funk Out Of
Here"  and  "More Than Words" inshured
this  heavy  funk  and  roll band high
positions on music charts all over the
world.   With fantastic guitarist Nino
Bettencourt's,     who    shows    his
virtuosity  on  all  13 tracks on this
album,   and   fast   strong  playing,
Extreme  have the first position among
new  coming  america's  like  Red  Hot
Chili  Peppers, Limbomaniacs, Faith No
More   etc.   Extreme  gives  them  so
needed    musical    refreshment   and
virtuosity.    In  some  element  this
album  has  even  reached master piece
of  Aerosmith  -  album  "Pump", and I
think there is nothingmore to say!



This  is  not review of latest albums,
but of the few ones from '91.  which I
really love.
