The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 22,1992- Page 13 RECORDS Continued from page 10 The clear ballads on this album, "Tonight," and "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad" are love songs, but Def Lep has an unequaled ability to turn potentially sappy 4yrics like "We'll be moving to the rhythm of your heartbeat" and make them serious statements. Equally intense are the feelings stirred by "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad," which describes the agony of wanting someone you just can't have - a feeling that most people know. On Adrenalize, Def Leppard has tapped into human emotion more confidently than ever before - and ,they have reason for this confidence. Joe Elliot sings with the force of ten -men. Phil Collen makes that one ,guitar sound like an orchestra. Rick -Savage dominates his bass like no 'other can. And you'd never know ,that drummer Rick Allen has only one arm. Adrenalize is Def Lep- ,pard's most fluid album to date, and yes, it was definitely worth the wait. -Kristen Knudsen Monster Magnet Spine Of God Caroline The biggest, baddest, grungiest "chunk o' noise this side of '72 Sab- "bath, and they're not even from Seattle. Monster Magnet's Spine Of God is a heavy mental groove-fest that's 100 percent "Acid Rock," as in rolling joints on the cover of Zoso awhile doing whippets. Fuzzed-out ,;guitars steamroll over equally fuzzy bass, with slow and low dirge tem- ,pos setting the pace. With one foot in the land of prog rock and the other in a suburban basement full of stoners listening to Black Oak Arkansas (who the Mon- --sters cover here, taking "Sin's a Good Man's Brother" to dizzying heights), Spine Of God comes across TINKHAM Continued from page 11 monies where people gather together to form a circle around an invited medicine man who holds sacred ob- jects and calls in spirits. Participants sing songs for each direction - north, south, east, and west - as represented by different animals. Prayer requests are made by each individual, and Mother Earth, Stone spirits, and others are called forth to join in the ceremony. All of Tinkham's involvement with the Native American organiza- tions and art guilds influence her creative process. She says every- thing changes for her - her thoughts do not stay static as she practices her art. ADULTS Continued from page 12 "Chaconne" on its 50th anniversary by presenting his solo work, tenta- tively titled "Lodestone," which has emerged with many of the spatial and kinetic concepts of "Chaconne," but with Sparling's contemporary interpretation and style. Janson offers her group work, "The Machine Within the Machine Within the Machine Within," previ- ously performed recently in Spring Dances. Janson, who prefers to keep her themes and ideas in the move- ment rather than in print, did admit that the ideas of "peer pressure, so- cial conformity, and corporate zom- bie-dom" do surface. She will also be performing a solo to the music of Loudon Wain- right III. A comic look at what Janson calls, "life after school," and "adulthood," the piece also touches on the darkness of a solo journey.

Having worked with many of the National Dance Companies in Africa in a cross-cultural exchange of dance forms, as well as having spent a summer in Korea, Buntz says, "My own natural tendencies towards those rhythms and forms has been enhanced and formalized in my choreography." She will be accom- panied by either Korean or West African percussion music. From one of the innovators of modern dance technique and style, Jose Limon, to the cross-fertilization of vastly different dance cultures that we see in today's industrialized and easy-access world, For Adults Only will be a model of the choreo- graphic voice singing through the years. FOR ADULTS ONLY will be held on Friday April 24 at Studio A in the dance building at 8p.m. Admission is free. For more information, call 763-5460.

"Pill Shovel" and "Zodiac Lung" both do Monster Magnet's Spine Of God is a heavy mental groove- fest that's 100 percent "Acid Rock," as in rolling joints on the cover of Zoso while doing whippets. the death-torque thing that induce slow-motion head-banging. The god-like drug anthem, "Nod Scene," is a mid-'70s daydream of epic proportions. Vocalist David Wyndorf growls like a psychotic ghoul about the joys of "scratch 'n' sniff Playboys," and used vinyl copies of Yes' Fragile over a most heavy grunge groove. Spine Of God is one of those al- bums that makes one wish that punk rock, the '80s, and R.E.M. never happened. Oh, nevernind. It's a sa- tanic drug, thing, you wouldn't un- derstand.
