Feuermann: The Columbia Records, Vol.1 @ DVD, audio-CD & media online store

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Chevelle: Pete (vocals, guitar); Joe (bass, background vocals); Sam (drums).
Recorded at Warehouse Studios, Vancouver, British Columbia.
With emotionally charged lyrics and heavy, crunching guitars, Chevelle sounds ready to take the hard rock world by storm. Although this album will fit nicely alongside fellow heavyweights Godsmack and Staind, Chevelle does not concentrate on penning deliberately gloomy compositions. The songs on this debut CD are all well crafted and stand on their own as testament to a band that knows what it wants to accomplish. A lush production brings out the thick sound in every instrument, as well as capturing the haunting, melodic vocals. The soaring vocals seem to be floating above a quagmire of chugging, churning riffs, using hope to stay afloat in a sea of murky sound. At times, an angry, aggressive approach is taken, but by the end of every song, a sign of salvation always remains to redeem all thosewho made their way through.

Erasure: Andy Bell (vocals); Vince Clarke (various instruments).
Thetwo-man English techno-pop band provides further evidence of its staying power on the duo's tenth album in as many years. COWBOY presents thirteen perfectly charming and elegantly composed dance tracks, rich with soaring melodies and otherworldly choruses sung by Andy Bell The technically impressive keyboard arrangements come courtesy of Bell's partner Vince Clarke. Standouts include the lush, romantic ballad "Worlds On Fire" and a cover Burt Bacharach's "Magic Moments," which Erasure originally recorded for the LORDS OF ILLUSION soundtrack. As irresistible as they've ever been, Erasure give no hint of winding down anytime in the foreseeable future.

Personnel includes: John Paul Jones (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, mandolin, mandola, ukulele, autoharp, koto, piano, organ, synthesizer); Robert Fripp, Adam Bomb (guitar); Nick Beggs (Chapman stick); Terl Bryant (drums, percussion).
Recorded at the Malthouse, London, England.
This solo offering from former Zep man John Paul Jones comes to you courtesy of Robert Fripp's DGM label, and it's not difficult to see why the King Crimson guitarist feels a sense of simpatico with Jones. Much of the material here echoes not only the more artful sounds Jones explored with latter-day Led Zeppelin, butmoreover the visceral blend of art-rock and heavy riffs that King Crimson began perfecting in the mid-'70s. In fact, Fripp makes a blistering guest appearance on the appropriately thundering lead-off cut "Leafy Meadows." Jones plays the lion's share of the instruments here, but he chooses his partners well; art-rock cult hero Peter Blegvad contributes lyrics and cover art. The piano ballad "Ice Fishing at Night" provides something of a respite, suggesting the quieter moments of Jack Bruce's early solo work, but the bulk of THE THUNDERTHIEF is given over to powerful guitar and keyboard motifs and of course masterfully throbbing bass lines.

George Thorogood & The Destroyers: George Thorogood (vocals, guitar); Hank Carter (saxophone, keyboards, background vocals); Bill Blough (bass); Jeff Simon (drums).
Producers: Terry Manning, The Delaware Destroyers.
The CD booklet for HAIRCUT features an original eight page cartoon by Peter Bagge.
This is one of the most consistently bluesy of Thorogood's '90s albums,with fewer of the overt goofs and '60s garage-band and punk influences that drove the purists crazy. Instead, it's a big-sounding, mostly serious set, in which Thorogood covers the usual suspects--John Lee Hooker ("Want Ad Blues"), Willie Dixon ("Down in the Bottom," which he probably learned from a Stones bootleg), and Bo Diddley ("Cops and Robbers," ditto). As usual, there are also a couple of changes of pace, in this case a solo acoustic version of "My Friend Robert" (an obscure song by '60s folkie Patrick Sky) and Thorogood's own "Baby Don't Go," an infectious piece of New Wave Tex-Mex, complete with the sort of cheesy organ riffs that hadn't been heard since the late '70s heyday of Joe "King" Carrasco. The hit from the album, of course, was the deliberately snot-nosed "Get a Haircut," but the album's actual centerpiece is the astounding "Killer's Bluze," which is in fact a six-minute death threat set to the riff from "I'm a Man." Eminem, eat your heart out.

Although Ice Cube and Eve both star in this film about a day in the life of a hair-cutting establishment on Chicago's South Side, BARBERSHOP: MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE leans more heavily on contemporary R&B artists than rappers to carry the movie's musical themes. Among the rhyme merchants who do show up are Ghosftace Killah who cuts loose with Ruff Endz over the creamy beats of "Love Session," and Lil Kano, who's equally impressive on the stop-and-start "Ben." Although P.Diddy attempts to rock out with The Family (the sparse "And We") and Fabolous featuring Jagged Edge (a convoluted "Trade It All Part 2"), kudos go to the smooth crooning of Glenn Lewis and Amel Larrieux (a gorgeous "What's Come Over Me?"). Other R&B acts cutting into this collection are 3LW(a simmering "Could've Been You") and a couple of old-school legends--Marvin Gaye (the infectious "Got To Give It Up [Part 1]") and The Staple Singers (a soulful "I'll Take You There").

Producers include: EZ Elpee, Young Gavin, Robert "Shim" Kirkland, Lofey, Dave Kelly.
Engineers include: Dave Dar, Erik Steinert, David Hummel.
Recorded at The Hit Factory, Avatar Studios, and Electric Lady, New York, New York.
"Na Na Be Like" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Female Rap Solo Performance.
A little more than two years after she released her sophomore album, Foxy Brown returns with a world ofexperiences to talk about on BROKEN SILENCE. This album is a testament to the life the hip-hop femme fatale has lived, and it's her most truthful work to date. From the vagaries of love to life's struggles to the business of music, Brown completely opens up, detailing every last secret that has haunted her career.
On "A Letter," she dedicates a verse to her mother and each of her brothers, apologizing for her mistakes. Then on "730," a bouncy track produced by Loafey, Foxy speaks directly to another woman who's trying to rain on her parade. But that doesn't mean that the entire album is about heartache, as reggae-influenced songs like "Tables Will Turn," featuring Baby Cham, and "Oh Yeah," featuring Spragga Benz, introduce a new wrinkle to Brown's rapping style. She also honors her roots by paying homage to her hometown Brooklyn on "BK Anthem."

Personnel: John Coltrane (tenor saxophone); McCoy Tyner (piano); Jimmy Garrison (acoustic bass); Elvin Jones (drums).
Producer: Bob Thiele.
Reissue producer: Michael Cuscuna.
Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on December 9, 1964. Includes liner notes by John Coltrane and Michael Cuscuna.
Digitallyremastered using 20-bit technology by Erick Labson.
A LOVE SUPREME is the essential example of the genius of John Coltrane. In what has become the apotheosis of jazz music, this eminently accessible work bridges the gap between music and spirituality, between art and life. With the ultimate incarnation of the jazz quartet, Coltrane brings together all of his turbulent elements into a cohesive paean to spirituality, one which is fully appreciable by the uninitiated.
A LOVE SUPREME is a 33-minute work divided into four movements. "Acknowledgment" starts the album with a heraldic summoning from Coltrane's tenor saxophone, full and joyous, which approximates the tone of the prayer he provides in the album's liner notes. The solo that follows reveals an artist whose spiritual depth and emotional urgency are matched by an adherence to logic and a resolve to achieve one goal above all--communication. Each simple musical statement is either followed by a motivic development or countered with a conversational response. Coltrane climaxes with a distilled four-note motif echoing the album's title, which he plays with by sequencing it through a wide array of tonalities. Finally, the band comes in, reiterating this idea, chanting the mantra "A Love Supreme."
"Acknowledgment" is followed by the torrential release of "Resolution," whose melody Coltrane fervently states to the animated accompaniment of his superb rhythm section. Laying the groundwork is drummer Elvin Jones, who approximates the effect of multiple percussionists feeding off of each other, creating an enormous texture of rhythm. McCoy Tyner's colorful piano clusters act as gusts of wind supporting Trane's soaring expressions. Bassist Jimmy Garrision takes the low road, keeping everyone on track. With support like this, Coltrane is free to explore the uncharted depths of his soul. On "Resolution," we can hear the very fabric of Trane's voice being stretched to the limit, as if even the horn which he has mastered is not a worthy enough vehicle for this man's spirit.
The rousing "Pursuance" features some vigorously swinging playing from Tyner, furiously followed by Coltrane's climaxes in an inspired hurling of ideas. Bassist Garrison brings us to A LOVE SUPREME's conclusion, an extended "Psalm" that acts as a resolved denouement in which Trane slowly muses over a lush bed of tranquil sounds--almost as if he were reflecting upon the wisdom achieved at this apex of his spiritual journey. Although the music is slowed, the level of intensity is maintained, as if we've reached a plateau upon which we may ponder what is pronounced in the liner notes, "Elation-

Personnel: Elvis Costello (vocals, electric guitar, harmonica);James Burton (guitar); Marc Ribot (guitar, banjo); Larry Knechtel (piano, Wurlitzer electric piano, Hammond organ); Jerry Scheff (bass); Jim Keltner, Pete Thomas (drums).
Recorded at Blue Wave Studios, Barbados. Includes liner notes by Elvis Costello.
Costello was always something of a musical sponge, soaking up an eclectic bunch of influences and assimilating them into an original vision that was fed by tradition but pointed straight to the future. Here he pays tribute to the musical heroes of his youth, with cover versions of songs both obscure and familiar. The accent is on blues and R&B, as EC tackles James Carr's anguished, soulful "Pouring Water on a Drowning Man" and Willie Dixon's vibrant "Hidden Charms." Along the way, Elvis redefines some of his favorite tunes by radically recasting them. Dylan's "I Threw it All Away" become a soul torch ballad. The Louvin Brothers' "Must You Throw Dirt in My Face" is turned into an R&B lament. Session monsters like Jim Keltner and James Burton inject the proper amount of grit into the proceedings, making this a surprisingly fresh-sounding walk through the American roots of one of Britain's finest singer-songwriters.

Alice Cooper: Vincent "Alice Cooper" Furnier (vocals); Michael Bruce (guitar, keyboards); Glen Buxton (guitar); Dennis Dunaway (bass); Neal Smith (drums).
Recorded at the Record Plant, New York and at Alice Cooper Mansion, Connecticut.
Although it still contained elements of their two preceding albums' heavy metal garage rock, Alice Cooper's 1972 release SCHOOL'S OUT expanded on the more progressive material of '71s KILLER (i.e., its title track and "Halo of Flies"). The majority of the songs were more sophisticated than the group's past work, with greater use of dynamics. The band was working under tight a deadline to complete the album, but it's certainly no half-hearted rush job--it was their third powerful release in a row, and their first top 10 hit (peaking at #2 on the U.S. album charts).
The title song, a top ten single, is a great, fist-pumping rock & roll anthem. By merging one of the most identifiable and memorable guitar riffs ever (courtesy of the late Glen Buxton) with snide lyrics and a sing-along chorus, the song was a punk-metal masterpiece. While the album's remaining songs may not be as immediately familiar, many a gemcan be found. "My Stars," "Luney Tune," "Alma Mater," and "Gutter Cat Vs. the Jets" are all underrated Cooper classics, the latter even containing snippets of musical themes from WEST SIDE STORY!

Producer: Teo Macero.
Reissue producers: Bob Belden, Michael Cuscuna.
Recorded at the Columbia 30th Street Studio, New York, New York on February 4 & March 4, 1958. Includes liner notes by Bob Blumenthal.
Digitally remastered by Mark Wilder (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
The title does not refer to the trumpeter's composition from his first recording date but is an acknowledgement of this session's visceral impact. Tenor saxophonist John Coltrane had left the trumpeter in the spring of 1957 to join Thelonious Monk for his engagement at New York's Five Spot, and was replaced by a rising star on alto saxophone, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley. When he returned, Davis had a formidable three-horn front line to go with "The Rhythm Section."
MILESTONES is a bracing rhythmic tonic, coming after the refined ballad moods and lush orchestral pastels of MILES AHEAD. And from the furious, adults-only hyper-drive of the opening "Dr. Jekyll" (with its thrilling tenor/alto battle and daredevil drum breaks), through a dazzling Dizzy Gillespie/John Lewis bebop anthem ("Two Bass Hit") to the bright dancing groove of "Straight, No Chaser," MILESTONES is an epic historical event--even by Miles' standards.
The slow, bluesy "Sid's Ahead" first appeared as "Weirdo" on Miles' March 1954 Blue Note session, and offerstantalizing portraits of the horns. Coltrane attacks his line like a blues guitarist, in short bursts of vocal cries and loping syncopated tangents; Miles comes out jabbing, slow and purposeful, feinting and fading behind the beat with lovely long tones and bends; Cannonball comes out all agitated and excitable, with little quicksilver runs and sing-songy asides (such as "Skip to my lou my darling"). Pianist Red Garland's famous feature on the traditional "Billy Boy" highlights his mastery of a two handed orchestral style, his brilliant use of space in blues phrasing, and his interplay with the driving young Paul Chambers (with his enormous beat and impeccable bow work) and the fiery Philly Joe Jones (whose complex melodic variations transcend the technical limitations of the drums).

Digitally remastered by Stephen Marcussen.
When Streisand and Kristofferson, two very different '70s pop culture icons, united for the remake of the classic filmA STAR IS BORN, few expected how well their distinctive styles would complement each other. Streisand was always the singers' singer, possessed of a golden voice and almost superhuman pitch and tone control, while country-rock rebel Kristofferson was from the John Prine/Bob Dylan school of singing, where emotion and intent mattered far more than proper pitch. Yet Streisand's silvery tones and Kristofferson's gruff, three-packs-a-day drawl never seem at odds on this soundtrack. Admittedly, on tunes like "Watch Closely Now" and "The Woman in the Moon," the characters the singers portray are more exaggerated versions of their real selves, but it all works, especially the instant pop standard "Evergreen."

The 1998 reissue of THE INFLATED TEAR contains all the original tracks and liner notes, plus additional tracks and rare photos.
Personnel: Rahsaan Roland Kirk (tenor saxophone, manzello, stritch, clarinet, flute, whistle, English horn, flexafone); Dick Griffith (trombone); Ron Burton (piano); Steve Novosel (bass); Jimmy Hopps (drums).
Recorded at Webster Hall, New York on November 27 & 30, 1967. Originally released on Atlantic (1502). Includes liner notes by "Casey" Bailey.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
For his 1967 debut session with Atlantic Records after a long and fruitful association with Mercury, legendary multi-instrumentalist Roland Kirk (he added the Rahsaan in 1969) wasted no time in establishing himself at his new home--three of this album's nine songs are among Kirk's all-time classics. The melancholy yet not mournful title track is one of Kirk's most beautiful works, while the sprightly flute showcase "A Laugh for Rory," dedicated to his young son, is as charming as its obvious predecessor, 1964's "Serenade to a Cuckoo." In addition, the fiery opener, "The Black and Crazy Blues," features some of Kirk's most aggressive playing. Backed by a nimble trio led by longtime associate Ron Burtonon piano, Kirk is as unpredictably brilliant in a variety of genres and on a variety of instruments as ever. THE INFLATED TEAR is Roland Kirk at his best.

Original score composed by Trevor Jones.
At first glance, a soundtrack album that includes Shania Twain, Al Green, Elvis Costello, and the Spencer Davis Group (guess what song), seems like a puzzler in terms of linearity. On closer inspection it becomes apparent that the connecting thread between this disparatecollection of artists is the romance that's at the core of the film. The ups and downs of Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts's relationship is effectively reflected in these songs. The smooth pop/R&B of Boyzone and 98 Degrees represents the first glorious rush of love. A touch of longing is introduced with Elvis's take on Charles Aznavour's "She" and Bill Withers's '70s classic "Ain't No Sunshine." The Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'" (did these guys ever record anything else?) perfectly captures the undeniable force of physical desire. Things are wrapped up nicely with a pair of orchestral pieces composed by Trevor Jones.

The White Stripes: Jack White (vocals, guitar, piano); Megan White (drums, background vocals).
Recorded at Easley-McCain Recording, Memphis, Tennessee in February 2001.
In an age where rock isbecoming progressively more slick and studio enhanced, it's quite refreshing to see a band like White Stripes come up from the underground and play raw, sloppy, and soulful rock & roll the way it was meant to be played--straight out of the garage. On the Stripes' third album WHITE BLOOD CELLS, their songwriting and playing has become more focused and slightly more accessible than on their earlier releases (1999's self titled debut and 2000's DE STIJL). This is evidenced by such selections as "The Same Boys You've Always Known" and "We're Going to be Friends." But White Stripes' earlier direction can still be detected on several cuts, most noticeably on the cut "Now Mary." With the release of WHITE BLOOD CELLS, White Stripes are getting closer and closer to perfecting and bringing their modern blues-rock craft and bringing it to the masses.

Pulp: Jarvis Cocker (vocals, guitar); Russell Senior (guitar, violin); Candida Doyle (keyboards); Steve Mackie (bass); Nick Banks (drums).
Recorded at FonStudios, Sheffield, England. Originally released on Fire (33026).
Pulp's third album, SEPARATIONS, was recorded in 1989 but not released until three years later. The record opens with a series of wails and a look forward to a future that "is shining like a giant metal beast, it shines so brightly, with its legs open wide." "Love is Blind" also features one of the first of lyricist Jarvis Cocker's spoken word asides, many of which seem to be highly personal tales of debauchery and degradation. The title track opens with a minute-long violin solo but launches into a string section before settling into a saga of loneliness driven by keyboards and rhythm. "Countdown," set to a near-disco beat, traces the social decline of the narrator.
"My Legendary Girlfriend," the first truly great Pulp single, is a mostly spoken-word, nearly seven-minute-long song featuring a "Shaft"-like guitar sound under Cocker's sweaty, sexually charged mumblings. The electro-fueled "This House is Condemned" wraps up the album with eight minutes of warped guitar, disjointed keyboards, and lyrics that address the mental breakdown of a man whose life is collapsing around him.

Producers include: Dr. Dre, "Kurt Kobane" Couthon, Daz Dillinger, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Soopafly.
Snoop Dogg is one of hip-hop's most distinctive and original voices, and DEATH ROW'S GREATEST HITS is a definitive collection of his earliest, arguably most vital work for the titular label. Aided by the funky west coast production of Dr. Dre, Snoop emerged in the early '90s as a different kind of gangsta. He didn't shy away from drugs, violence, or any of the other elements of the thug life, but his smooth, relaxed, almost jazzy delivery very nearly transcended his gritty subject matter. From the manifesto "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang," the song that introduced him to millions of fans, to the ominous crime scenario of "Murder Was the Case," Snoop's unique, laconic style delights and intrigues, regardless of the darkness of the theme. This is a crucial document of hip-hop history.

Personnel includes: Phil Collins, Daryl Steurmer, Brad Cole, Chester Thompson, Lee Sklar, The Phoenix Horns, Bridgette Bryant
Recorded at various locations during Phil Collins' Serious Tour 1990.'
Recorded during the US tour for his fourth solo album, 1989's BUT SERIOUSLY, 1990's SERIOUS HITS...LIVE! is Phil Collins' first solo live album. True to its title, the album functions neatly as a live greatest hits summation; indeed, Collins' band, featuring longtime guitar sideman Darryl Steurmer, is so impeccably rehearsed that at times it's difficult to tell the difference between these recordings and the original studio versions.
Highlights include a solo piano rendition of "In the Air Tonight" that's nearly as thick with dread andatmosphere as the original, and a hypnotic, extended version of the Peter Gabriel-like "Take Me Home." If you're a Phil Collins fan, SERIOUS HITS...LIVE! is a pleasant diversion.

"Dipset (Santana's Town)" was nominated for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group.
Cam'Ron's protege Juelz Santana goes it alone after debuting as part of the Diplomats crew on DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY. Here he steers clear of that crew's obsession with drugs, guns, and money--well, at least the drugs and guns part.
The key here is the keyboard-inflected "Why," where Santana runs down the reasons he's in the game, like watching ROCKY III when he was "a tiny little poppy seed, as grimy as I could be," and comes as close as any rapper ever gets to waxing philosophical about his life and motives. Furthermore "My Problem (Jealousy)"finds him apologizing for hitting his girlfriend, and getting into sticky relationship details to boot. FROM ME TO U is, therefore, no ordinary gangsta rap collection, and while Santana's flow might not be up to that of some of his contemporaries just yet, there's enough evidence here to point to some considerable talent lurking beneath the bravura.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Keith Emerson (keyboards); Greg Lake (vocals, guitar, bass); Carl Palmer (drums, percussion).
For an album that begins with an extended two-part piece called "The Endless Enigma" (bifurcated by something called "Fugue") and closes with a rockbolero, TRILOGY is surprisingly song-oriented and accessible. As usual, the long instrumental sections are dominated by Emerson's madman organ work and monophonic synth lines. These are interspersed, however with strong melodic/lyrical statements from Greg Lake, making the whole thing cohere more than anyone had any right to expect. The light-hearted Old West motif of "The Sheriff" (complete with honky tonk piano) and an Emersonized version of Copland's "Hoedown" add valuable humor. The ominous "Living Sin" features one of Lake's nastiest vocals, and the title cut ranks among ELP's finest pseudo-classical moments.

Full title: A Nod Is As Good As A Wink...To A Blind Horse.
The Faces: Ronnie Wood (vocals, guitar); Rod Stewart (vocals); Ian McLagan (keyboards); Ronnie Lane (bass); Kenney Jones (drums).
When this was released in 1971, the Faces also released LONG PLAYER (following the dropping of "Small" from the band's name) and frontman Rod Stewart released the seminal EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY. The three-album output was especially remarkable for the Faces, as the band was more known for skirt-chasing and carousing than recording music.
NOD found the Faces fusing together a grittier blues and soul sound than on past efforts, which were marked by a rather modish sound and Stewart's then-folkier leanings. The group includes enough heartfelt ruminations to add a sentimental edge to the otherwise rip-roaring mix of material. Among the latter class of songs are a shambling cover of Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee" and "Stay With Me," the Faces' only hit and the quintessential groupie kiss-off. Stewart's talents as a balladeer are no lesseffective, with songs like the poignant "Love Lives Here" and the Ronnie Lane-penned duet "Debris," an unheralded classic every bit as emotionally devastating as "Wild Horses." Lane's singing and songwriting also shine on the barroom anthem "Last Orders Please" and the whimsically swaggering "You're So Rude," a song about getting caught in a compromising position with a sassy girlfriend during a family visit.
