On HOME PLATE, Raitt had plenty of superstar help, including appearances by Jackson Browne, John Sebastian, Tom Waits and Emmylou Harris. Her interpretations of Allen Toussaint's "What Do You Want The Boy To Do," and J.D. Souther's "Run Like A Thief" showed her stylistic range to be as broad as ever. Like her first four albums, HOME PLATE had no hit singles, but Raitt's large following kept album sales high.

Formed in 1971 as a side project to the Move by Roy Wood, Bev Bevan, and singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer Jeff Lynne, the Electric Light Orchestra immediately revealed the Brits' genius in combining rococo pop songs with classical instrumentation. Though the multitalented Wood largely produced the band's debut, his departure pushed Lynne's style to the fore, as evidenced by the listener-friendly "Showdown" and crunchier "Ma-Ma-Ma Belle." Beautiful classical arrangements also grace "Mama." In 1974 the group's slickly produced pop rock cracked the Top 10 with the atmospheric ballad "Can't Get It Out of My Head."
Although ELO's sound became increasingly commercial in the late '70s, it was no less grand, as demonstrated by the violin arpeggios in "Livin' Thing" and the swirling, complex string arrangement of "Telephone Line." The group continued its chart success in the face of MTV and changing tastes with polished '50s style gems like "Rock and Roll Is King" and "Hold On Tight," before disbanding in 1986. Including previously unreleased tracks, and tunes recently completed by Lynne, FLASHBACK is a fine set.

UFO: Phil Mogg (vocals); Michael Schenker (guitar); Paul Raymond (keyboards, guitar); Pete Way (bass); Andy Parker (drums).
Additional personnel: Mark Philips (background vocals).
Recorded at Rumbo Recorders, Canoga Park, California.
Although many '70s heavy metal bands had been long defunct by the late-'90s, several, such as Motorhead, Kiss, and UFO, were still slugging it out. The latter had reunited their classic line-up--guitarist Michael Schenker, singer Phil Mogg, bassist Pete Way, drummer Andy Parker, and keyboardist Paul Raymond--for a tour and a new studio album, 1998's WALK ON WATER.
The band seems to have picked up right where they left off, as they wisely pay little attention to current musical trends and focus on rekindling the classic UFO sound. Whilere-recorded versions of the metal standards "Doctor Doctor" and "Lights Out" appear as bonus tracks, new rockers such as "Self Made Man," "Darker Days," and "Pushed to the Limit" are standouts, too.

Seldom in the long-standing relationship of film and music has there been a more natural fit than that of Snoop Dogg and the supernatural thriller BONES. The rapper not only provides the soundtrack for the Halloween flick, he's one of the major characters in the movie itself. As even a casual follower of Snoop's laid-back gangsta style should expect, his low-key delivery can carry a heavy load of ominous tension without swaying. And the over-the-top melodrama that is part and parcel ofthe hardcore hip-hop work of MC Ren, Kurupt, and Xzibit proves to be just the ticket for conveying a spooky ghost story full of well-orchestrated terror. With the whole thing backed up by a rich production overflowing with thick G-funk sounds, BONES works as both film soundtrack and independent sonic artifact.

"Any Day Now" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance.
For his self-titled debut on J Records, Clive Davis's post-Arista venture, Luther Vandross manages to incorporate enough contemporary production touches to keep himself sounding current, without abandoning the old-school style that made him a star in the '80s. Vandross is the original R&B love man--he's been practicing his singular brand of soul and sensuality since most of today's mack daddies were in short pants, and his experience is apparent here.
Instead of the full-on approach of an R. Kelly, Vandross is content to let his voice glide gently across a subtle bed of funky guitars and keyboards, issuing a quiet-but-confident invitation to love. The melodic hooks that are intrinsic to the album's arrangements (production chores are ably handled by Davis and Vandross) leap out just enough to pull the listener into the music. Once immersed in Luther's world, you'll likely be focused largely on the man's powerful voice and tasteful, emotive singing; that's what it's all about anyhow.

From the Great American Songbook. Her coolly detached approach to lyrics is nowhere better displayed than on this album of songs by one ofthe most sophisticated American songwriters.One of Fitzgerald's great assets was also, paradoxically, one of her failings as a jazz singer. Throughout her long career her voice was that of an innocent girl. This immaturity of sound, allied as it was to consummate musical mastery, weakened her jazz performances, especially in the blues where emotional intensity is of paramount importance. As if sensing this, Norman Granz heard in Ella's voice the ideal vehicle for a selection of readings.

Stone Sour isn't the first successful Slipknot side project; the Murderdolls (just barely) beat them to the starting gate. Like that group, though, Stone Sour actually started out long before Slipknot, but was ultimately revisited as an alternative to the Slipknot grind. Knotmen (if you will) Corey Taylor and Jim Root and their Stone Sour brethren offer nu-metal that's fully as hard-hitting as that of their day-job group, but with considerably more thoughtful compositional techniques andmelodic sensibility. Sure, Taylor occasionally breaks into a gut-wrenching scream, but just as often he's twisting his voice around a serpentine melodic line that brings Alice in Chains to mind more than anything in the nu-metal lexicon.

It should come as no surprise that Frank Sinatra would have a special way with Christmas songs just as he did with every other type of song. This welcome reissue is a slightly expanded version of Sinatra's original 1948 Christmas album and includes some 1945 V-Disc holiday performances especially recorded for the troops still stationed in Europe right after the war. The original 78s hold up incredibly well for Christmas music a half-century old.
Sinatra's approach to such chestnuts as "White Christmas"--only 2 years old in 1944--and "Silent Night" is straightforward, unsentimental and utterly convincing. It also owes nothing to Bing Crosby, who had a franchise on this kind of family fare. Sinatra's fresh, non-pietistic take on this material is geared more toward the unattached (young) man in the street rather than family men. The slightly sexy "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "Christmas Dreaming (A Little Early This Year)" were for the very same G.I.s Sinatra had once entertained through his V-Discs,back home now and considering the uncertain (and slightly sexy) future looming before them.

The album that launched Jobim's now classic "Desafinado" Jazz Samba was released in 1962, in the early days of America's bossa nova craze and before the music lost its charm to cliche. Joined by fellow Latin jazz pioneer Charlie Byrd on classical guitar, anda discreet bass and drums team, tenor saxophonist Getz makes light and elegant music out of a collection of catchy bossas and sambas. His virtuosity, bluesy drive and smooth, soft tone make the music cook like bossa jazz rarely has since. There are still enough surprises to make this record more than just a period piece, and it stands as a fine example of Getz's lyrical genius.

Get Up Kids: Matthew Pryor, Jim Suptic (vocals, guitar); James Dewees (keyboards, background vocals); Rob Pope (bass); Ryan Pope (drums).
Recorded at Tarquin Stuidios, Bridgeport, Connecticut between January and February 2002.
For over half a decade, KC's Get Up Kids garnered a fan base, with music redolent of harder-edged melodic bands such as Superchunk and Jawbox. However, 2002's ON A WIRE, the outfit's first release in three years, finds the fivesome with a sound positively Beatle-esque, or at the very least Badfinger-esque, considering the latter's penchant for sublimely maudlin pop.
Since their inception, the Get Up Kids have possessed the knack for penning fine-etched, intelligent, mesmeric songs, however with ON A WIRE, the band hits its most appealing pop stride. The presence of alt-pop producer extraordinaire Scott Litt, best known for his work with R.E.M., certainly doesn'thurt, as an inviting soundscape propels one lush track into the next. This studied guidance enables the band to sound its best when letting it all hang out on "All That I Know," a hyper-melodic epiphany with a cornball-but-sweet chorus ("all the ships in the ocean..."), a perfect lead-in to the more pensive, but still overwhelmingly melodious "Walking On A Wire." In fact, a likeable symmetry prevails throughout ON A WIRE, a refreshing breakthrough album from a talented band.

Original score composed by Howard Shore.
The 2001 film version of the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy classic LORD OF THE RINGS was something of a phenomenon, and the attendant soundtrack by Howard Shore matched it step for step. Wisely, Shore was tapped again for the soundtrack to the sequel THE TWO TOWERS. Unlike the work of, say, John Williams, Shore's score managed to tap into both the regal majesty of Tolkien's Middle Earth but offsets it with a healthy sense of understatement and tasteful atmospherics, avoiding over-the-top pageantry. Filling the musical role occupied by Enya on the last soundtrack are Sheila Chandra and Emiliana Torrini,while former Cocteau Twin Elizabeth Fraser appears on what must be the most obstreperous track ("Isengard Unleashed") with which she's ever been associated.

Following the triumphant comeback success of PERMANENT VACATION, Aerosmith's next album, PUMP, proved to be an opportunity for the band to cut back on the army of songwriters that had lent its hand on the prior album. Most of the material on 1989's PUMP was generated from within the band, and Jim Vallance and Desmond Child are the album's only outside collaborators.
Sober and fully functional, Aerosmith used the momentum of success to churn out songs that tapped into the band's libidinous instincts, like "Young Lust" and "Love in an Elevator." The band also took a chance by including a Steven Tyler/Tom Hamilton hit about incest ("Janie's Got a Gun"), a semi-autobiographical rant about the evils of drug use ("Monkey on My Back"), and a bluegrass/Indian instrumental ("Dulcimer Stomp"). Although the brassy "The Other Side" and the power-ballad "What it Takes" became top-30 hits, it was with lesser-known songs like the Stones-esque pop nugget "My Girl" that Aerosmith showed it was still capable of being America's top rock & roll band.

Built from samples of soul, jazz, funk, hip hop and dance along with James's own playing on keyboard, guitar, and bass, this breezy, pleasingly ramshackle album has been dubbed "ruralbeat" and has drawn comparisons with the likes of Lemon Jelly. Includes the singles 'Count Your Blessings', 'You Little Trooper' and 'TheLook Up'.
SKU: 1080282

Debut album from unique, London-based Mancunian band who forge epic, symphonic, psychedelic soundscapes inspired by Brian Eno, Cocteau Twins, Todd Rundgren and Spiritualized.

Subtle elements of Queen's "We Will Rock You" grace FORCE OF NATURE'S opener "Get Your Hands Up," which, in Tank's inimitable style, could either be an audience participation tune or a song about robbing a liquor store. Tank has an agreeable way with twisting a lyric; he's a lover, not a fighter, as evidenced by titles such as "My Freak" and "Bounce and Grind,"and the gospel-tinged yet awesomely sexy "Slowly."
Tank's one track mind takes a vacation for "Lady on My Block," about a woman on the streets, and really FORCE OF NATURE isn't the kind of sex-you-up outing common to many of his peers. He shines most when he's at his most thoughtful, as in the string-laced "Street Life." FORCE OF NATURE is an unusual and reflective album.

Title:(Die) Schöne Müllerin, D795

SKU: 1051286

Personnel: Carla Bley (vocals, recorder, piano, electric piano, celeste, Clavinet, organ, marimba, percussion); Howard Johnson (vocals, clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano, baritone & bass saxophones); Julie Tippetts (vocals); David Holland (cello, acoustic & electric basses); Toni Marcus (violin, viola); Gato Barbieri (tenor saxophone, percussion); Michael Mantler (trumpet, valve trombone); Paul Motian (drums, percussion).
Recorded at Blue Rock Studio, New York, New York & Island Studios, London, England between September 1973 & February 1974.
After the sprawling and ambitious ESCALATOR OVER THE HILL, which found Carla Bley setting the words of Paul Haines to music, the pair undertook this much more relaxed album of separate songs. As always, Bley's choice of players is critical to the project; here she's in sterling and sympathetic company again. Tenor saxophonist Gato Barbieri is a featured soloists and drummer Paul Motian and bass player David Holland deftly propel the rhythm section. The vocalist is the under-celebrated Julie Tippetts.
There are also several "character" roles sung by tuba and reed player Howard Johnson, Bley herself, and her's and Michael Mantler's daughter, the approximately ten-year-old KarenMantler. Bley's compositions and arrangements buoy the lyrics and envelop Tippetts in wonderful and mysterious ways--"Song Of The Jungle Stream" moves between vocal and instrumental passages like a journey down a rain forest river.

Brand X: Morris Pert, Percy Jones, Peter Robinson, Chuck Burgi, John Goodsall.
Phil Collins sat out on the sessions that produced MASQUES, Brand X's 1978 entry in the almost-forgottenearly fusion-era sweepstakes. MASQUES rocks a bit heavier than the previous MOROCCAN ROLL, but still offers delightful dense passages of jazz, rock, funk, complex arrangements, and tight ensemble playing.
"The Poke" is pretty straightforward prog-jazz riffing, with an arresting synth melody and thorny basswork from Percy Jones (John Goodsall is no slouch on guitar, either). "Black Moon" allows percussionist Morris Pert to break out his arsenal of percussive sundries, sprinkling them across a late-night jazzy etude. The fireworks really erupt throughout "Access to Data," where Goodsall lets loose a fusillade of sparkling guitar riffs, while quacking keyboards react to the amplified overload. MASQUES is another important chapter in British jazz-fusion history for the uninitiated to explore.

This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Personnel: David Bowie (vocals, guitar, harmonica, saxophone); Mick Ronson (vocals, guitar, piano); Ken Fordham (saxophone); Mike Garson (piano); Trevor Bolder (bass); Mick Woodmansey (drums); Juanita "Honey" Franklin, Linda Lewis, G.A. MacCormack (background vocals).
Recorded at Trident Studios and RCA Studios, London, England; RCA Studios, Nashville, Tennessee. Originally released on RCA.
Digitally remastered by Peter Mew & Nigel Reeve (1999, Abbey Road Studios, London, England).
It's no surprise that ALADDIN SANE and PIN UPS came out in the same year. Each drip with the seedy sexuality of London's late '60s sexual revolution. Yet, while PIN UPS was a mid-'60s sampling of influences--a glorified cover album--ALADDIN SANE was all Bowie.
Stepping out of the Ziggy Stardust shadow (Bowie would announce his temporary retirement from the stage later that year), ALADDIN SANE was the aftermath of Ziggy's visit, a brutal memoir of the drugs, sex and glamour that a young starlet could find at the time. "Forget that I'm 50/'Cause you just got paid," Bowie croons, adopting the persona of a "Cracked Actor," and one wonders how far stardom had pushed Bowie. Was he indeeda lad insane?
The macho guitar rave-ups are a brilliant spewing of the PIN UPS influences. Mick Ronson's searing guitar is beautiful trash, made of Stonesy grind and dangerous Kinks-like riffing. Bowie is at an evocative peak, his vocals at once voyeuristic and enticing. His cover of "Let's Spend The Night Together" sends an unwashed shiver up the back, and his youthful exuberance on "Panic In Detroit" is charmingly believable.
ALADDIN SANE showed that Bowie was an artist with staying power that reached beyond his previous Martian Cult status.

Also available with FOR THE ROSES in 1 cassette.
COURT AND SPARK continued Joni Mitchell's transition from folk-singer to sophisticated rock auteur. Crafted songs are bathed in a warm, textured backing, courtesy of Tom Scott's L.A. Express, a sinuous jazz-based combo. Her expressive voice weaves in and around engaging melodies that support and enhance the imagery suggested by evocative, personal lyrics. The title track alone is worth the price of admission, but the gorgeous lilt of "Help Me" and the elegant sweep of "Free Man In Paris" showan artist in firm control of her craft. A measured, thoughtful album, COURT AND SPARK confirmed Mitchell as one of the most important and subtle talents of the rock era.

Erasure: Andy Bell (vocals); Vince Clark (various instruments).
Recorded at Polygone Studios, Toulouse, France and Chateau Du Pape, Hamburg, Germany.
1991's CHORUS was a transitional album, as Erasure built on the musical and lyrical advances of 1989's WILD! and reached towards the more melancholy, mature work of 1994's I SAY I SAY I SAY. Andy Bell exploits his remarkable vocal range throughout, moving effortlessly from a lower-register growl to falsetto wails. Similarly, Vince Clarke's melodies and arrangements integrate the Hi-NRG electronic beats and synthesizers of the band's earliest work with the more reflective, organic sound of theirlater releases.
The title track, a danceclub hit in both England and the United States, is a delight, but the more ruminative "Am I Right?" and "Breath of Life" are sturdier songs. Aside from the delightful tribute EP ABBA-ESQUE and the singles collection POP!, this was Erasure's last release for over three years.

Personnel: James Spaulding (alto saxophone, flute, bass flute); Don Sickler (trumpet, flugelhorn); John Hicks (piano); Ray Drummond (bass); Kenny Washington (drums).
Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on April 28, 1999. Includes liner notes by Bill Milkowski.
Saxophonist James Spaulding takes a traditional path here; the emphasis for this session is on classic tunes of the hard bop era, written by the giants that defined the music. Spaulding pulls no punches, swinging and wailing his way through such gems as Dexter Gordon's "Cheesecake," Grant Green's "Grant's Tune," and Hank Mobley's "The Break Through." He doesn't fool around with his choices of sidemen that can interpret this material either, as stellar performances by Don Sickler, John Hicks, Ray Drummond, and Kenny Washington attest.
For his part, Spaulding not only contributes memorable turns on his alto, but also makes grand use of both his standard flute, and the hauntingly unique bass flute. Other tracks of note are "It Could Happen To You," and Cole Porter's "Just One Of Those Things," as well asKenny Dorham's moving "La Mesha."

Recorded at Record One, Los Angeles, California.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
A big, bombastic synth-rock album by Neil Young? Linn drums? Synth bass? Coming, as it did, immediately after Young settled out of court with a record company that had sued him for making non-commercial records, LANDING ON WATER could easily be seen as not only the oddest of Young's mid-'80s streak of oddball records, but also as a big joke, the punch line being, "Here's your commercial album, Mr. Geffen. Have fun selling it."
Or maybe he actually means it: "Hippie Dream," whose chorus goes, "The wooden ships/Were just a hippie dream," puts a bullet through the memory of his old folkie buddies Crosby, Stills & Nash. And while "Pressure" does a pretty good imitation of Billy Joel's synth-rock hit "Pressure," it's followed by "Drifter," which manages to put a bullet through themuch more recent memory of David Geffen ("Don't try to tell me what I gotta do to fit") while effectively updating an ON THE BEACH-ish blues structure for the electronic age. In short it is, despite all appearances, a Neil Young album, and it foreshadows the giant rebirth that was about to come.

The eight-piece Roots Radics are an influential instrumental group who helped pioneer the '80s dancehall style of reggae and provided accompaniment for some of the genre's greatest practitioners, including Bunny Wailer and Gregory Isaacs. This collection takes tracks by Roots Radics and filters them through the combined mixing skills of both Jah Screw and King Tubby, masters of the style and legends to fans of reggae and dub.
Hailed as an "original dub classic," this collection has achieved legendary status. It brims with all the hallmarks of dub: therock-solid bass and drums over which float echoed, repeated shards of guitar, keyboards, and horns. This set includes no vocals whatsoever. The art of dub music comes in the artful juxtaposition of various sonic elements on top of the rhythm. The opening track, "Country Gal Dub," typifies the set. Built on a rock-solid rhythm track of just drum and bass, it is sprinkled with just a scratchy percussive effect, a touch of keyboard, and a sinewy guitar line, all doused in a liberal helping of echo. The bonus track "King Stereo Gav Dub" is particularly bracing, with an insistent beat and a sublimely spacey set of ambient noises, whip-cracks, and scampering drumbeats.
