Here are a few guitar+jungle albums: -- David Bowie, "Earthling." Surprisingly effective in places, though the marriage between noisy, metallic guitars and skittering beats is sometimes a bit awkward. -- Derek Bailey, "Guitar Drums & Bass." Bailey improvises his patented avante-guitar skronk over beats by Laswell collaborator DJ Ninj. I wasn't too crazy about it, personally. -- Bill Nelson, "After The Sattelite Sings." Largely a song-oriented, vocal affair; about half of the tunes on here are jungle-oriented. Pretty good. -- Pitchshifter, "www.pitchshifter.com" Yes, that's actually the name of the album. Kind of '90s hard-edged alternative rock with programmed beats, including a few in the 160+ BPM zone (they actually list the tempos for each tune, which is the first time I've seen a rock band do that). -- Goldie, "Saturnz Return." This two-CD set is a sprawling, pretentious mess -- a very good 45-minute album is hidden somewhere within the rampantly boring excess herein. There's some punkish guitar played by one of the guys from Oasis on one of the album's bright spots, "Temper Temper," which also features the unintentionally comical sound of Goldie doing a Henry Rollins impersonation. There's some smooth-jazz styled horrors elsewhere on the disc, replete with slick, clean-toned guitars. Can you tell I'm not crazy about this one?
