Faun Fables "The Transit Rider" Album Review

intense and very ok
This is a very intense album but the music almost gets strangled in words but what can I say some of os want more music some of us want more words, it's a great album even though it's not my favorite I'm pretty sure that I'll buy all af the albums. Love the intensity.

Sao Paulo Underground "Sauna" Album Review

Album Description
"An amazing display of a brilliant mind at work." - PITCHFORKMEDIA <P>"Post-digital, post-industrial psychedelia." - THE WIRE <P>"Limitless in its possibilities." - ROLLING STONE <P>"[From] straight-ahead bop cornetist to avant-garde electronic conceptualist." - SUNDAY HERALD <P>Spawned from the pink sulfur skies of Sao Paulo, this project is the combined work of artists Rob Mazurek (Mandarin Movie, Isotope 217, Chicago Underground) and Mauricio Takara (Hurtmold, M. Takara), whose music embraces modern electronics, dub, free samba, rock, jazz and maracatu. The album's opening track recalls the hazy electronic soundscapes of Fennesz's "Endless Summer," while its ending presents the unclassifiable sound construction of Tiago Mesquita's words and futuristic phantom carnival melodies. Sandwiched between are five diverse, texturally rich tracks covering a variety of sonic palettes. Recorded from August to November 2005 at Rocha Studios in Sao Paulo, the group's debut release features contributions from Sao Paulo's vibrant music community: Hurtmold, Marcos Axe, Tiago Mesquita, Wayne Montana & Damon Locks (both of The Eternals), Josh Abrams (Town & Country) and Chad Taylor (Chicago Underground).

Loren Connors "Night Through Singles and Collected Works 1976-2004" Album Review

A great starter.....
Man! Three full disc of great sounds from Loren Connors!

This is a nice place to start for the beginner,because this set has many examples of this "venusian blues" guitarists craft.

There are his lilting ,fragile pieces,and some of his more trditional sounds too (a few are even a bit loud). Occasional vocals are here too,...some by Susan,Loren's wife(in his Haunted House version of his vision).

I was so used to his album releases that seem to average only 30-some minutes playing time each,that when I started to listen here I found I was a bit overwhelmed by the sheer size of this portion of Mr. Connors' music found here. But it's all of high quality,and most of it is dreamy,floating ,forelorn blues-y stuff.

Well worth the price,and (like I said before) a fine starter kit as an intorduction to this sigular artist's sound. This could be the one Loren MazzaCane Connors CD set you need in your collection,or the beginning of an obsession with his music.

Give it a try and see for yourself.

Eri Yamamoto "Cobalt Blue" Album Review

Excellent...
I have had this disc for several months and it just keeps finding it's way into the player consistently. I have had the priviledge of seeing Eri Yamamoto play in small venues many times in New York city, and her trio never fails to command my full attention. This CD perfectly captures the chemistry that her band possesses. The interplay between the drums, bass, and piano is mesmerizing. The title track remains a particular favorite of mine, as the initial pattern of notes spirals to an amazing climax. Other standouts include her takes on Cole Porter's "I Love You" and Gershwin's "They Can't Take That Away From Me". The recording quality of this CD is crystal clear and overall the whole disc is excellent. If you are a fan of acoustic piano trios this CD should be in your collection. As someone who has met Ms. Yamamoto she is as gracious off the stage as she is as a performer on it, and is very deserving of accolades.
