'Excellent musicians, experimenting and finding a style. Refreshing for the time, and a plus in the column of the Toronto Music scene.' 'It's a safe bet that anyone over a certain age with an ear to the charts will remember Martha and the Muffins' 'Echo Beach'. Though it was (in my humble opinion) one of the best post punk pop records of the era (and certainly the best by a Canadian outfit featuring two women called Martha), the band never managed to trouble the compilers of the top 20 again.Fronted by keyboardist/singer/trombonist Martha Johnson and guitarist Mark Gane, M+M (as they were later to become) spun dispassionate, witty tales of boredom, longing and paranoia in a manner not dissimilar to that of Talking Heads. However, they had a pure pop sensibilty that put them in a slightly different bracket from the hordes of Art school rockers doing the rounds at the time, coupled with an unwillingness to let themselves be taken too seriously (that disappeared later when they hooked up with producer Daniel Lanois).' Echo Beach' is of course a pretty good encapsulation of all these qualities, but all the tracks on this reissued and remastered debut show that their one hit wonder status wasn't for lack of good material.
The formula is pretty consistent throughout; taut, metronomic rhythms topped off with Gane's chiming, minimal guitar figures add up to pared down powerpop heaven.Andy Haas's raspy tenor sax recalls Andy Mackay's work with Roxy Music, and Johnson's occasionally cheesy keyboards prefigure the Farfisa driven ironies of Stereolab. Johnson sings in a slightly detached fashion, while Martha Ladly (later of the Associates) goes for a more emotive approach ('Hide and Seek', 'Revenge') with more mixed results.Most of all, the Muffins had good tunes; 'Paint by Number Heart' and 'Indecision' are viral in their catchiness. While the slightly dour 'Sinking Land' prefigures their later ambient experiments, Metro Music is for the most part untouched by the pretensions and angst that afflicted many of their greatcoated contemporaries.Oh, and it's got 'Echo Beach' on it too.'
Tracklist:01 The World Is A Ball02 I Watch I Wait03 Watching The Boys Fall Down04 Only You05 By The Waters Of Babylon06 Song In My Head07 Don’t Jump The Gun08 Stuck On The Grid09 Someone Else’s Shoes10 As A Matter Of FactLink to download:'The World is a Ball' is the best Martha & the Muffins album, hands down. This unfortunately was a difficult album to find in the US even when it was a new release (perhaps because it seems to have been a Canadian release that RCA didn't really push in the states). Every song is exceptionally good and the group is at their very best.' 'Continuing as a duo, augmented by the cream of the crop of studio musicians, Mark Gane and Martha Johnson connected with new producer David Lord, and returned to England to record this album. It's a different sound from the prior release, Mystery Walk, but once again, one of the charms of M + M was that one never quite knew what to expect from them.
The album is full of interesting sounds, and wonderful songs. Mark Gane demonstrates his singing ability on the beautiful 'Stuck On the Grid,' and Martha Johnson continues to use her voice to full extent on 'Song In My Head,' the somber 'I Watch, I Wait,' and the somewhat angry 'Don't Jump the Gun.' The production is somewhat loud for M + M, and the sounds are not nearly as layered as previous releases. However, strap on headphones, and one is treated to some interesting effects and sounds sprinkled throughout.
Overall, a pleasant, hard-sounding pop album with dance overtones; there is enough here to keep avid fans interested and win over some new listeners. Aaron Badgley, All Music GuideFAR AWAY TIME (1987)Notes:Various producers - CD Compilation of first three albumsTracklist:01 Echo Beach02 Paint By Number Heart03 Saigon04 Indecision05 Terminal Twilight06 Hide And Seek07 Monotone08 Sinking Land09 Revenge (Against The World)10 Cheesies And Gum11 Insect Love12 About Insomnia13 Motorbikin’14 Suburban Dream15 Was Ezo16 Women Around The World At Work17 This Is The Ice AgeLinks to download:'A rather poorly assembled best-of from Martha and the Muffins' first three albums, released on DinDisc/Virgin. In fact, it's just the Metro Music release, with seven added tracks from Trance and Dance and This Is the Ice Age, and the latter is poorly represented, so it's not even a good overview of the band. The music is excellent, with tons of great songs and great memories ('Echo Beach' one of the finest singles released in the '80s), but it is the overall packaging that is particularly disturbing. The liner notes do not provide much information, and at times the notes appear almost insulting. With the exception of the odd but interesting 'Insect Love' (previously only available on a single), there are no rarities or interesting oddities.
With the wealth of material available to Virgin from the first three albums, this could have been a great, well-thought-out package. Martha and the Muffins deserve much better than this. Still, the music is top-notch, and fun to listen to once again. Aaron Badgley, All Music Guide'you may love this gem from the early 80's.
It has the minimal mood of Wire's Chairs Missing, the saxophone drone of Romeo Void and the sultry/ironic vocal style of Martha Davis and the Motels. It is the epitome of the 80's art school sound. It's modern and spare, but tuneful. It is detached and abstract. It represents the triumph of a redefined and stripped down approach to pop music that no longer exists. Echo Beach is a great song that begins the CD and all the tracks from the original Metro Music grow out of each other like crystals.'
'A wonderful 'compilation', if you can call it that, of early Martha and the Muffins (later, M+M), a horribly underappreciated Toronto band of the early '80's (and continuing through, at least, 1992). This CD contains the entire Metro Music LP, a briskly stunning piece of new-wave power-pop, as well as a handful of tracks from Trance and Dance and This is the Ice Age (each available in the US previously only as imports). Anyone who listens to the two 'Ice Age' tracks will hopefully try to seek out the entire album, as well they should - although never released on CD, even the original vinyl is worth seeking out to anyone who enjoys their pop with a brain, with a Roxy Music-esque twist.' 'My favorite song of course 'Echo Beach', but every song just about is good on here. This band was perfect for new wave, but ahead of it's time too!'
'Take a listen to elastica,then listen to this cd!The Martha influence is unmistakable.It is a great cd and I forgot how much I loved this band when I was young.I gave Martha and the Muffins records to friends for b day gifts when I was young I love this cd!!!!!!!!' The roots of this Canadian new wave band lie in the mid-70s, when Martha Johnson was the organist with Oh Those Pants, a 10-piece 60s covers/send-up band that also included future members of the Cads. This was followed by a spell in another Toronto band, the Doncasters, who specialized in revamping 60s garage band material. In 1977, Johnson joined up with Mark Gane (guitar), Carl Finkle (bass), Andy Haas (saxophone) and Tim Gane (drums) to form Martha And The Muffins. They were joined by Martha Ladly, who initially played guitar but later moved to keyboards and trombone. The band sent a tape to New York journalist Glenn O'Brien, who referred them to the fledgling DinDisc Records label.
This led to the release of their debut single, 1978's 'Insect Love'. Success followed in March 1980 with 'Echo Beach', which was a number 10 hit in the UK charts. Its escapist verses ('From 9 to 5 I have to spend my time at work/My job is very boring I'm an office clerk/The only thing that helps me pass the time away/Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach someday') remain popular to this day. Follow-ups, including 'Saigon' (with its double groove b-side - playable both backwards and forwards) fared less well. This resulted in Martha And The Muffins becoming denigrated as 'one-hit-wonders', when in actuality all their albums, particularly Trance And Dance, are deeply resonant collections of songwriting which endure as well as any 'pop new wave' of the period.Tensions between the various members saw Ladly leaving in 1981 to work with the Associates. She later formed the Scenery Club who released two singles on DinDisc.
Finkle was then replaced by Jocelyne Lanois, up-and-coming producer Daniel Lanois' sister. Daniel teamed up with the band to produce their finest album, This Is The Ice Age. Following its release the band signed to RCA Records and session player Clara Hurst played keyboards temporarily before joining the Belle Stars in 1982. Following Haas' departure the band was reduced to a line-up of Johnson, Mark Gane, Lanois and drummer Nick Kent to record 1983's Danseparc, but the album's poor commercial showing hastened their demise.Wife and husband team Johnson and Mark Gane formed M+M, who enjoyed a major US hit with 'Black Stations, White Stations' They released two albums as a duo, Mystery Walk and The World Is A Ball, before moving to the UK. Following soundtrack work in Toronto for the movie Modern Gravity, the duo revived the Martha And The Muffins name for 1992's Modern Lullaby, but their label went bankrupt shortly after its release. They have also recorded a children's album together, Songs From The Tree House which received positive reviews and won the Juno Award, (Canada's equivalent to the Grammy) for Best Children's Album the following year.'
Martha Johnson & Mark Gane have composed music for commercial applications including scores, songs and theme music for the television drama series 'Paradise Falls' (Showcase), as 'A Comme Artiste', 'L'Avenir en Tete' and 'Video Art Video'.Defy Gravity (1990).The rest of the band went on to find work as a driver for the Canadian Automobile Association (Tim Gane), architect and swimming pool designer (Finkle), graphic designer (Ladly), and art museum guard (Haas).Source: The Encyclopedia of Popular Music by Colin Larkin.

New album is coming soon!!!Delicate (2008,not released yet)MARTHA LADLY'She was a founding member of the Canadian New Wave band Martha & the Muffins where she played keyboards and vocals. The New Wave was a movement in American, Australian and British popular music, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, growing out of the New York City musical scene centered around the club CBGB. The term itself is a source of much confusion.
Martha and the Muffins Martha and the Muffins were a Canadian new wave synth pop band in the 1970s and 1980s. Ladly left the band in August 1980 and relocated to the United Kingdom where she lived with designer Peter Saville, her painting Factus 8 was used by him for the sleeve of New Order's EP 1981 - Factus 8 - 1982.( )She briefly pursued a solo career and also provided backing vocals on Roxy Music's 1982 album Avalon. In 1982 she joined cult Scottish Post-punk act The Associates famously appearing with them on Top of the Pops when Alan Rankine fed a chocolate guitar to the audience. She left The Associates in 1986 and subsequently worked with Robert Palmer's band.Between 1992 and 2001 she worked with Peter Gabriel as the head of Real World Design, editor of Real World Notes and a producer for Real World MultiMedia. As a key member of the Real World MultiMedia team, she was the recipient of numerous international design awards for interactive art and music projects such as Secret World Live, EVE and Ceremony of Innocence CD-ROM projects.She is currently an associate professor of design at the Ontario College of Art and Design, where her specialty is interactive communication. She is a mentor with the Canadian Film Centre's Interactive Project Lab (IPL) and a faculty member with the Habitat Interactive Art and Entertainment Program. Prior to her appointment at OCAD, she was the creative director of HorizonZero; a bilingual internet publication dedicated to creating and showcasing the best in digital art and culture in Canada, in collaboration with the Banff New Media Institute and Culture.ca.
The Ontario College of Art & Design is Ontarios premier school devoted entirely to art and design.' ( )Martha Ladly:'It's really nice to read all of your comments, and to hear that people still love our music. You know, I even listen to it myself from time to time, and I think it still has a fresh original sound, (that was my poetry and spoken intro on terminal twilight.) I think it is because we were living the music. Being at art school and in the band in the 80s had to one of the most fun times in my life!
I'm a university professor now and teach at design at OCAD in Toronto, and still sing and play keyboards for fun and pleasure, maybe I'll do some recording or performing again - you never know! Life is definitely what you make it. Oh, and I love Stereolab too, I think they learned some keyboard playing techniques - two fingers - and female duet tricks from us, but it is a different Tim Gane.' ( )More info:ANDY HAAShas performed, recorded and collaborated with many musicians (e.g: God Is My Co-Pilot (1993-1994),John Zorn (1995),Zeena Parkins (1996),Marc Ribot (1997),Ikue Mori (1998),David Watson (1999)) who were at the center of the creative avant garde music coming out of NYC by the '90s, such as John Zorn, Fred Frith, Ikue Mori, Thurston Moore, Marc Ribot, and more. Haas was an original member of Toronto's Martha & the Muffins, which formed in 1977. He played saxophones for the band through their 1981 release, This is the Ice Age. Through the '90s, Haas was most often found playing the didjeridu, such as on the fun and eclectic Knitting Factory compilation, Jewish Alternative Movement: Guide for Perplexed, and on his own album, Arnhem Land, released on the Avant label in 1997.

There are only two: 'Finlandia' b/w 'Tasmania' (credited to Martha Ladley and the Scenery Club), and 'Light Years From Love' b/w 'Drama of the Human Heart.' The last (credited to simply 'Martha') was a minor hit, featuring Peter Hook of New Order on Bass, and with a string arrangment by Simon 'Penguin Cafe Orchestra' Jeffes. The songs were co-written by Brett Wickens, mastermind behind Ceramic Hello, and later a graphic designer who worked with Peter Saville. Chris Anonymous said.wow incredible thanks for this.

You can use it tweak just about every aspect of the photo from basic settings such as exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows to effects like grain and vignetting. You can totally alter the feel of a shot by manipulating the vast array of settings available to you.
Once you get a look that you are happy with, you can save your chosen settings as a “preset” and then use those same settings on other photos in future. Click To Open/CopyYou are also able to import other people’s presets into Lightroom and apply them to your photos with the click of a mouse.
