Although numerous doubts abounded that concept albums with thematic focus were not what people wanted to hear, Alan Parsons' somewhat egomaniacal projects always found a broad public. Of course one can listen to the perfectly styled sound of the music which this man created at the mixing console and concentrate on its programmatic contents or wallow in its esoteric tonal depths. But you don't have to, for Parsons' velvety mixture of ballads and rock numbers will get your ears' nerve endings tingling without lyrics and themes. The album The Turn Of A Friendly Card includes two of Parsons'very best songs: "Time," with its beautiful harmonies, and the gently swinging "Games People Play" which opens with Empire fanfares. That the instrumental tracks are find favor with almost all rock fans is... Less

Full length offering from the Truth & Soul (Soul Fire) in-house boys, compiling all their previous 7" only singles (but not that one great 12, you gotta hunt it down yourself) plus about 6 brand new tracks. These guys are honest-to-goodness talented, and not just in the "good at aping a sound" way that most of their counterparts seem ok with flaunting. The songwriting is really strong and their output happily jumps through straight funk and soul cuts like "Detroit Twice(1)" and "Too Late To Turn Back(2)," slow jams like "Behind The Blue Curtains(3)," latin edged pieces like "El Pueblo Uneido(4)" and more, which gives you a very thorough and not at all boring listen. Love the move of closing out the album with a cover of Ike Hayes' "Hung Up On My Baby(5)" too (yes, the song sampled for... Less

Music fans couldn't be blamed for thinking the reissue boom had run out of both steam and artistic merit. Then along comes this revealing 51-track double-disc anthology by the Association, much misunderstood purveyors of surprisingly enduring '60s hits such as "Along Comes Mary," "Cherish," "Windy," and "Never My Love." With their roots in the same potent Sunset Strip folk revival that yielded the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield, the Association's music embodied a more formal, pop-conscious wedding of folkie influences and the same affinity for adventurous vocal harmonies that fueled many of Brian Wilson's legendary productions during that epoch. Ironically, it was their very sense of cohesive unity that undermined them at the end of the decade, as more individual talents--and larger... Less

The fifth release in 1979 from Alan Parsons Project after the string of successful releases including I Robot, Pyramid and Eve. Transferred for the first time from the original flat analog masters supplied by Mr. Parsons who both produced and engineered this sensational title. The improvements in terms of low level detail and clarity were dramatic enough to persuade us to reissue this title on LP as well as on DVD audio. All previous editions of this title on all formats have been transferred from production masters - we are a generation earlier here with the tape Alan mixed to 26 years ago. The songs include: Games People Play, Time, Nothing Left to Lose and the title track among others.

Bassist Marc Johnson has excelled at attracting smart, thoughtful bands for his periodic studio dates, none smarter or more instantly engaging than the de facto supergroup drafted for his Verve label debut. The Sound of Summer Running is a fitting image for this deceptively breezy, nearly telepathic summit between Johnson, guitarists Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny, and drummer Joey Baron, a dream team that makes its collective technical prowess invisible. Hearing Frisell and Metheny-- arguably the two most original and identifiable guitar stylists in modern music--establish their relaxed, playful dialogue would be reason enough for this meeting, but Johnson's focal role as composer with an unforced lyricism along with Baron's consistently superb percussion make this a sound for all...

Whereas most recording projects borne of fads deserve their respective perches in obscurity hell, the Revells were something else. Comprised of West Coast studio vets (of the Usher/Campbell/ Blaine axis), this off-handedly casual paean to tiny hot-rods serves up a delicious helping of hitherto- forgotten, high speed thrills. From Sundazed.

Two years after LCD Soundsystem's eponymous full-length debut sent indie scenesters rushing to the dancefloor, the outfit headed by dance-rock producer James Murphy serves up another stiff cocktail of punk, dance, and funk with Sound of Silver. Analog synths, chugging basslines, chunky guitars, and Murphy's wild falsetto excursions are once again the foundation to which is added the new and strange, such as the heavily chorused voices that suggest backward-masking in the opener "Get Innocuous" and the captivating harmonics keyboardist Nancy Whang bounces off of Murphy's vocals on "Someone Great." If this album has its own version of "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House," it has to be "North American Scum," an infectious stormer that breezily dismisses Europe as a place where "the buildings...

Relaxing, romantic, and inspiring, The Candlelight Guitarist™ performs a tapestry of gentle jazz and classical guitar styles. Music for Rest & Renewal (with nature sounds) is softly melodic music, with soothing sounds of nature: ocean, birds, rainfall, a stream and waterfall, fireside, and night sounds. WIND AND WIRE, Minnesota Public Radio, KFAI 90.3 FM: "The Candlelight Guitarist™ album will probably surpass your expectations, as it did for me. Seldom do I hear music so perfectly balanced with nature sounds where the music is of such high quality - soft yet not syrupy, melodic but not shallow or sing-songy, sincere without being overblown or pretentious. ...Singling out more tracks is tough because the whole album is excellent. The pace is never hurried, thankfully. The words 'rest... Less
