content: The late 90's was not a golden period for rock music. It was a time when critics & fans contorted themselves into agonising positions where mediocre neu-psychedelic bands like Mercury Rev and the Flaming Lips started to sound good.Hopefully the arrival of some inspired new bands in 2001 - the Strokes, the White Stripes - will pound the nails into the coffin of this dreary genre.Now and again on this CD you recognise the playing of the wonderful Garth Hudson, and the memory of all the brilliant old Band albums he played on utterly overwhelms his current surroundings. And that second-hand pleasure is about all this music offered me.
