Buck Owens I've Got a Tiger by the TailSe flere produkter fra AmazonThe great Buck Owens virtually dominated the country singles chart in the 1960s, carving his success by being the first truly "alternative" country artist, one who eschewed the dominant "Nashville Sound" of the time in favor of rock-hard honky-tonk. But Owens was also one of the first acts to have a consistently strong impact on the country album charts, rolling up (literally) dozens of long-play smashes (as many as three a year) throughout the decade. Although most of them revolved around his current hit single, his 1960s albums for Capitol are almost all outstanding and much more than mere filler. This 1965 gem remains close to the top of the list. The urgent title track, Owens's signature tune, was inspired by the Esso slogan ("put a tiger in your tank") and sat atop the chart for five weeks, while the flip-side ballad, "Cryin' Time," was a top 10 hit for Ray Charles. Also here are two bonus live cuts, a Bob Wills instrumental, the cowboy story "Streets of Laredo," and a churning version of Chuck Berry's "Memphis," which sheds light on the country tendencies of rock & roll's pioneer. --Marc Greilsamer Fragt: Ukendt! |

Beppe Gambetta Traversata: Italian Music in AmericaSe flere produkter fra AmazonOn Traversata, mandolin maestro David Grisman showcases the seldom-heard music of early 20th century Italian immigrants in America, an eclectic mix of jazz tunes, folk ballads, opera aria transcriptions, serenades and dance tunes. With fellow mandolinist Carlo Aonzo and bluegrass guitarist Beppe Gambetta (here playing a custom-made 14-string harp guitar), Grisman displays his typically faultless technique as he performs instrumentals from forgotten Italian composers Pasquale Taraffo, Attilio Margutti and Raffaele Calace, along with more familiar tunes from jazz pioneers Nick Lucas and Eddie Lang. Nino Rota's " Godfather Waltz" gets its best performance yet and two compositions by Rudy Cipolla, the late San-Francisco-based music pioneer who Grisman has long championed, are included. The Italian influence varies from cut-to-cut, but these tunes are all intensely lyrical and full of gorgeous melodies and great playing; it's easily one of Grisman's most poignant projects to date. This Dawg may continue to wander the globe for new tunes, but he's certainly not lost. --Jason Verlinde Fragt: Ukendt! |

Mongo Santamaria Skin on Skin [Us Import]Se flere produkter fra AmazonIt's not just that this Latin jazz pioneer makes his tumbadoro (conga drum) sing--it's the depth and breadth of his music that most impresses. After serving apprenticeships with mambo kings Perez Prado and Tito Puente and Latin jazz bandleader Cal Tjader, Mongo went solo in 1951. "Afro Blue," his first significant composition, was covered by John Coltrane. He made a Top 40 hit out of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" and was at the forefront of the Latin boogaloo craze with his cover of James Brown's "Cold Sweat." Yet the bulk of his work remains anchored in his native Cuban folk forms. His bands have always included a fertile, bluesy blend of salseros and jazz players. Though licensing hassles prevented the inclusion of any of his work from 1972 to 1987, his most important sides are here. --John Morthland Fragt: Ukendt! |

Dizzy Gillespie Groovin' HighSe flere produkter fra AmazonHere are some of the earliest of all bebop recordings, made between January 1945 and May 1946, and highlighting the role of Gillespie, the leading spirit in the whole bebop movement. The most celebrated tracks are the six numbers featuring Dizzy and Charlie Parker together, a potent and volatile combination which never failed to produce exciting results. Virtually every modern jazz pioneer puts in an appearance here, including Dexter Gordon, Milt Jackson, Ray Brown and Sonny Stitt, all absurdly young and full of spirit. Their youthful impatience has a lot to do with the sketchiness of the arrangements, if any, and the apparent lack of concern with producing a fully finished performance. The important thing was the improvised solo, each one a challenge to the last, and the excitement of it all comes through undimmed by the passage of half a century. --Dave Gelly Fragt: Ukendt! |

Toots & The Maytals Toots in MemphisSe flere produkter fra AmazonMaytal is widely revered as a reggae pioneer, but he's also a Caribbean cousin of Otis Redding and Al Green, which he proves on this collection of '60s and '70s soul covers. Sly and Robbie anchor the rhythm section of a crack band that also includes guitarist Teenie Hodges and Andrew Love of the Memphis Horns. Together with Maytal, they reinvent Redding's "I've Got Dreams to Remember", Green's "Love and Happiness," and eight other classics (among them "Hard to Handle,", "It's a Shame," and "Freedom Train"). The result isn't pure reggae or unadulterated soul but a hybrid as appealing as both at their best. --Keith Moerer Fragt: Ukendt! |

Original Soundtrack The Last SamuraiSe flere produkter fra AmazonWhether Tom Cruise's portrayal of a 19th century American soldier cum samurai warrior will be remembered with the same pangs of pop-cultural bemusement that befell John Wayne playing Genghis Khan remains to be seen. But its musical soundtrack does mark an auspicious occasion: pop musician-turned-composer Hans Zimmer's 100th score since beginning his film career in 1988. A pioneer of fusing both the electronic and orchestral and the Westernized with the indigenous, Zimmer does both here with skill, drawing heavily on samples of the traditional Taiko (a massive Japanese drum) for its rhythmic action sequences, while constructing a melodic Western motif for Cruise's character that's both centrepiece and counterpoint for the score's transcultural intent. Aside from the brief, ominous thunder of the expected action/suspense boilerplate, Zimmer has constructed passages of gentle, Asian-inflected pastoralism that have parallels with much of his evocative work on The Thin Red Line. Those cues are the score's very soul, a canvas against which his more traditional themes reverberate all the stronger. --Jerry McCulley Fragt: Ukendt! |

Tracey Thorn Out of the WoodsSe flere produkter fra AmazonOut Of The Woods is the first solo album from Tracey Thorn for over two decades. The Great British public probably know Thorn best as the voice of Everything But The Girl's 'Missing', the Todd Terry mix of which hit No.3 in 1994 and hung around in the Billboard Top 100 for over a year. That huge hit, however, is somewhat deceptive in the context of Thorne and her partner, Ben Watt's 25-year career. Out Of The Woods, like much Everything But The Girl before it, is a set of torch-songs versed in the production techniques of clubland, but shot through with a melancholy soul more familiar to jazz or folk-rock - or, indeed, cosmic disco pioneer Arthur Russell, whose 'Get Around To It' Thorne covers here, and all but makes it her own. Lyrically, events hint at a certain domesticity: 'Nowhere Near' is a delicate song about motherhood sung over shimmering synths, piano, and pipes, while 'Hands Up To The Ceiling' seems to be about finding sanctuary in a record collection, Thorne sneaking to an attic to spin "Siouxsie Sioux, and Edwin too/ Bobby D, in '63". Those eager for Thorn to reprise 'Missing', however, maybe be satisfied by 'Grand Canyon' and the closing 'Raise The Roof', two potential club hits in the waiting. --Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

David Bowie Low: RemasteredSe flere produkter fra AmazonThe first part of a loosely affiliated trilogy ( Heroes and Lodger were to follow), Low is in part a synthesis of 1970's disco, funk and New Wave as well as a brave foray in to wordless electronic ambience. The opening salvo of songs and up-tempo instrumentals contains the single "Sound and Vision", which shudders under the archness of Bowie deadpan vocals. Elsewhere, Bowie inhabits the brilliantly starchy European funk of "Breaking Glass" and "Always Crashing in the Same Car". That Bowie found a like mind in the eternally innovative Brian Eno is no surprise; the success of the four instrumental pieces that close Low can be attributed in no small way to the production contributions of the ex- Roxy Music keyboard player turned ambient pioneer. Bowie and Eno's experiments in a Berlin recording studio would have a massive influence on the music of subsequent decades. For this reason alone, Low is an essential David Bowie album. --James Littlewood Fragt: Ukendt! |

Boom Bip Seed to SunSe flere produkter fra AmazonBoom Bip's Seed To Sun comes fresh from his work with Cincinnati geek rap pioneer Doseone, and now that he's firmly ensconced in his new home--the Warp-affiliated hip-hop label Lex--it seems that now's the perfect time for American sound scientist to drop his debut solo album. Seed To Sun isn't exactly hip-hop, and it isn't exactly anything else, either: a mad kaleidoscope of drones and glitches, loops and melodies that displays a passion for organic sounds--cymbal splashes, the thrum of double bass, what sounds suspiciously like a French horn--yet revels in all the multifarious possibilities of digital production. Occasionally, Bip looms a little too close to past electronica templates--let your concentration drift while you're listening to "Closed Shoulders", and you'll swear that someone's popped a Boards Of Canada CD on while you weren't looking. "Pulse All Over" is the album's most plainly beautiful moment--a heavenly drone symphony that'll leave a lump in your throat. And while a couple of excellent collaborations with Anticon rappers Buck 65 and Doseone suggest that maybe Boom Bip is at his best when in a production role rather than fronting as an artist in his own right, Seed To Sun contains enough thrilling moments to justify its own existence. -- Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

People Under The Stairs O.S.T.Se flere produkter fra AmazonBefore OST, People Under the Stairs (Thes One and Double K) have been busy establishing themselves as one of the most consistent crews operating outta the Left Coast. Their two LPs to date, The Next Step and Question in the Form of an Answer have seen them pioneer a back-to-basics approach to rap music, which somehow also manages to feel progressive. OST continues this idiosyncratic and successful approach, bringing deftly constructed tracks overlaid with engaging rhymes and the duo's recognisable and accessible delivery. The pair are masters at digging up dusty old funk loops, which helps give their music an immediate, old-school feel, though their diversity here is impressive as insouciant head-nods such as "Keepin It Live" and "Acid Raindrops" merge with block party jams ("Hang Loose"), Jamaican reggae flavours (check the title track) and a few serious moments. It's ain't rocket science, but it sho' is funky.-- Paul Sullivan Fragt: Ukendt! |

Charlie Louvin Charlie LouvinSe flere produkter fra AmazonWhat's terrific about this album is the sound of Charlie Louvin's voice. Weathered and worn by his 79 years, its fragility underscores the humanity in the morality plays he favors, like the gentle pledge of faith "The Christian Life." What's disappointing is its lack of imagination. Despite the presence of skilled contemporary songwriters like Elvis Costello and Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, the only new tune is "Ira," Louvin's tribute to his late, high-tenor-singing brother. As the Louvin Brothers, Charlie and Ira took shape-note-based close-harmony singing to the pinnacle of country music in the 1940s and '50s, earning a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame. On these dozen songs, Louvin's joined on vocals by George Jones, Alex McManus of Bright Eyes, Will Oldham, Bobby Bare, Tom T. Hall, Tweedy, Costello, and others, with Marty Stuart on mandolin and a crack studio band including Chris Scruggs of BR-549 and angelic vocalist Dianne Berry. Bear and Berry manage to make magic with Louvin--the rest do their best with a list of moldy chestnuts like "Kneeling Drunkard's Plea" and "Worried Man Blues"--although Jones's voice is, sadly, ravaged, and Tweedy's bursts of guitar feedback on the Louvins classic "Great Atomic Power" are absurd. Nonetheless, this album is a welcome return for a country pioneer after a 10-year hiatus from recording. --Ted Drozdowski Fragt: Ukendt! |

Manuel Guajiro Mirabel Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Manuel Guajiro MirabalSe flere produkter fra AmazonLike their peers the Funk Brothers, the ongoing, criminally unheard legacy of the Buena Vista Social Club's various legends continues to impress, and the emergence of 71 year-old Manuel Mirabal (a trumpeter of some repute in Cuban circles), for his spellbinding debut album, comes as no surprise. Those familiar with the premise of the Cuban grooves that were rediscovered through the original Buena Vista Social Club album and it's subsequent spin-off solo works will agree that the sound, feel and playing here ranks up with the greatest moments of this wonderful genre. Recorded as a tribute to Arsenio Rodriguez, a pioneer of Cuban music and modern salsa, even those unfamiliar will find much to love in this collection, not just in the fiery, masterful trumpet playing of El Guajiro, but also in the various guest vocalists (even newcomers and er, Gorillaz fans should recognize the none-more soulful vocals of Ibrahim Ferrer on "Deuda". Similarly, the backing musicians sound like the kind of band that are totally in simpatico with each other and work well to produce the finest grooves. With highlights too numerous to mention, this CD is essential to all, and a quiet contender for album of the year. --Thom Allott Fragt: Ukendt! |

Carl Craig The Detroit Experiment: Mixed By Carl CraigSe flere produkter fra AmazonIn Detroit Experiment a varied cast of Detroit players were thrown into a studio for a few days to see what would happen. Produced by techno pioneer Carl Craig, the line up includes jazz heavies (reedist Bennie Maupin, trumpeter Marcus Belgrave, pianist Geri Allen, and violin sensation Regina Carter), Motown session players (guitarist Percy Hughes and drummer Ron Otis), and various hip-hop and electronic people. The result is a tidy musical package crammed with rich ambient textures, percolating rhythms (stellar percussionist Francisco Mora sees to that), and strong grooves that still leave enough room for the jazz folk to solo comfortably. Ranging from the smooth-jazz-like "Revelation" to the interstellar bop of "Space Odyssey" to the outright hip-hop of "The Way We Make Music" to a surreal reading of Stevie Wonder's "Too High," the 14 tracks here have a little something for everyone, without sacrificing quality. Rarely has this new electro-jazz-hip-hop hybrid had such soul, but what else would you expect from Detroit? -- Tad Hendrickson Fragt: Ukendt! |

LL Cool J Mr. SmithSe flere produkter fra AmazonWith more than 14 years as a continually viable, visible recording artist, LL Cool J--the once and future James Todd Smith--sets the pace for hip-hop artist longevity. Though with five consecutive platinum albums he's long since qualified for his rap star pension, why stop the old guy when he shows no sign of slowing down? On 1995's Mr. Smith, the 27-year-old LL's "self"-titled sixth album, the rapper keeps running like an aged marathoner: past his prime and no longer winning medals, perhaps, but still in full stride and doing a lot better than you could. At this point in his career, though, LL seems concerned with retaining the credibility of his Queens, New York, past while submerging deeper into a Hollywood future. Conscious of--and not fully resistant to--the fact that he's fast becoming recognized more as sitcom star than as rap pioneer, LL goes out of his way on Mr. Smith to provide his résumé. He recaps successes on "I Shot Ya," remembers those who paved his way on "Hip Hop," and even pumps a little hardcore on "Life As ..." But ultimately LL's just acting tough, not living tough. While he claims one song won't "be getting no airplay" due to its heavy profanity, in reality the vocals are heavily expurgated. LL tries to play both sides, but he can't escape his nice-guy, TV-ready self. He even celebrates his second career on "Hollis to Hollywood," a rap full of movie wordplay ("I'm making Speed like I'm Keanu Reeves / But too many True Lies can make a honey bleed"). And of course, Mr. Smith is best when he's just playing the ladies' man: "Hey Lover" waxes R&B sultry with Boyz II Men on vocals, while "Doin' It" and "Make It Hot" get down-and-out sexy over impeccable tracks. --Roni Sarig Fragt: Ukendt! |

Raymond Scott The Music of Raymond Scott: Reckless Nights & Turkish TwilightsSe flere produkter fra AmazonPrewar gems from a long-neglected master. Scott's career as composer, bandleader, and electronic-music pioneer is just beginning to be rediscovered. Here he mixes swing jazz with classical forms, exotica (long before there even was such a thing), and his own hyperactive melodies to create a timeless sound. Many of the bouncy tunes are recognizable from their constant use in cartoon soundtracks over the years: the classic "Powerhouse," a jittery mix of an edgy scherzo and a relentless march (as well as a favorite of Looney Toons composer Carl Stalling); the jaunty "The Toy Trumpet"; and the dizzying "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals." Scott's original recordings with his Quintette (which, strangely enough, consisted of six musicians) are a delight, and the invention and energy never let up. --Heidi MacDonald Fragt: Ukendt! |

Brian Eno My Life in the Bush of GhostsSe flere produkter fra AmazonReleased in 1981, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is a collaboration between ambient pioneer Brian Eno and Talking Heads frontman David Byrne. On Ghosts, the two strong-willed musicians manage to come to a meeting of the minds, blending Byrne's herky-jerky funk with Eno's atmospheric sound sculpting. More than anything, this is a large album, intent on pushing itself to the front of the listener's consciousness. Abundant percussion (everything from booming tribal drums to eerie electronics) reverberates in the background while Byrne and Eno toss all manner of found sounds, field recordings, and radio broadcasts into the mix. What results is a groundbreaking album that introduced a generation to the dazzling possibilities offered by electronic recording techniques. Highlights include "The Jezebel Spirit", an electro-funk workout that uses a recording of an exorcism as its focal point, and "Very, Very Hungry", a mysteriously ethereal display of electronic percussion and large-scale sonic architecture. --S.

Brian Eno Drawn from LifeSe flere produkter fra AmazonAmbient pioneer Brian Eno has devoted much of his time to producing and making art than to his own music in recent years. Drawn From Life, his first album since 1997's The Drop is a collaboration with German percussionist and hip-hop DJ J. Peter Schwalm. The resultant sound is distinguished not by any move into the territory of urban beats but diverse, syncopated but determinedly downtempo, spatial rhythms. The 11 tracks all fall into the category of moody soundscapes--film scores for arthouse projects, but they're far from unapproachable--"Like Pictures Part 2" recalls "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" with minimal spoken word from Laurie Anderson over a sighing handclap rhythm, tinkling vibes and eastern strings, "Rising Dust" twinkles to a warm fuzz of electronica and vocodored piano. Meditative and absorbing, Drawn From Life is a counterpoint to silence. -- Mike Pattenden Fragt: Ukendt! |

Mirwais ProductionSe flere produkter fra Amazon"Disco Science", his toweringly provocative debut single, demonstrated that Parisian producer, Mirwais' disco roots are evident but also distorted and twisted out of all recognition by wild pitch-shifting and taste for acid bassline. Production only emphasises this by taking some of the most popular sounds from late Seventies and early 80s dance floors--Moroder beats, vocoders, analogue synth sounds-- and wilfully hammering them into fresh shapes on numbers such as "Naive Song" and "Junkie's Prayer". Mirwais' skills brought him to the attention of Madonna who sequestered them for her album, and returns the favour with this album's centrepiece number, "Paradise Not For Me". This exquisite blend of French monologue and treated English vocal married to swelling synths indicates why Mirwais was seen as the hottest, most chic French electronic producer from an apparently endless line of talent that continues to emanate from the city. Elsewhere Mirwais offers a nod to his compatriots on "I Can't Wait" which matches a pulverising stop start Daft Punk rhythm to buzz saw bleeps and also New York on "Definitive Beat", a juddering breakbeat layered with skidding turntable scratches. A devastatingly original album from a true pioneer. -- Mike Pattenden Fragt: Ukendt! |

Beastie Boys To the 5 BoroughsSe flere produkter fra AmazonTo the 5 Boroughs, the Beastie Boys' first LP in six years, is a thunderous return to form. Dispensing with the electro experimentation of the more challenging Hello Nasty, the boys get back to basics, seeming to sense that the time is exactly right to launch the return of their old-skool sound. Lead single "Ch-Check It Out" blows open the doors, with its booming meaty beats and funky vibes, reminding us just how exciting the rap-rock genre was back in the day when these guys helped pioneer it, before all the whiney "Limp Linkins" came along and commodified it. To the 5 Boroughs captures the sound of the Beasties in their prime, spitting invective (as on the Bush-baiting "That's It That's All") over urgent bass-driven cuts with fortysomething voices that are as fresh as ever. They may be less concerned now with the Party than with a picnic ("grilled cheese", "flapjacks", "matzoh", "cholla", "falafel", "gorgonzola", "spaghetti" and "chicken tikka" all get a shout), but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. With age has come Buddhist-influenced wisdom, and gone are the misogynistic tendencies of old; these days they're more likely to be rapping about "the beach" rather than a bitch. Though these Beasties bring a message of love ("we gotta keep the party goin' on; all lifestyles sizes, shapes and forms") they're tighter and truer than ever. --Paul Eisinger Fragt: Ukendt! |
