Disco de Desert Sessions: “The Desert Sessions, Vol ”

The seeds for the `revolving door' line-up method that Queens of the Stone Age has become famous for were originally sown in another related project, the Desert Sessions. Dating back to the `80s, guitarist Josh Homme and his pals would throw what would become known as `generator parties' - consisting of live music played for a bunch of friends out in a secluded part of California's Palm Desert, the electricity for the amplifiers being supplied by a power generator. Between his exit from stoner rock groundbreakers Kyuss and the formation of Queens, Homme found himself with plenty of free time on his hands, and he decided to start up these get-togethers "once more." ~http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/. The only difference was that this time, Homme would record the proceedings - dubbing them `the Desert Sessions' - while a rotating list of quite recognizable names of hard rock would be invited to participate.

It ain't the bottom-heavy grumblings of Kyuss or Fu Manchu or any of the other big boys of Desert Rock, but, man, the little super-groups on this CD really showcase some talent.

I particularly dig The Eagles of Death Metal, who perform three crazy tunes on this CD. If you're just looking for heavy rock, try somewhere else. But if you're looking for some great experimental stuff from stoner rock's pioneers, pick up this one!

A very rare item. It was received super-fast, quick delivery. I am very

pleased with this seller. I can definitely recommend to other buyers. I have listened to the cd all the way through, and everything works fine. The packaging was in good shape, just as it was described in the posting.

If you are not a HUGE fan of desert rock, you will be dissapointed. If you are a fan, please dig this. Really expiremental, but the line-ups are amazing collaborations from the Gods of the Desert movement.
