This is a (multi-channel) Super Audio CD, playable only Super Audio CD players.
Personnel includes: Ozzy Osbourne (vocals); Zakk Wylde (guitar); Robert Trujillo (bass); Mike Bordin (drums).
Recorded live at Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan on February 15, 2002.
Fans fretting that Ozzy's reputation has been transformed into that of a distaff Robert Young thanks to the runaway success of the MTV reality show The Osbournes can breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing the fire-breathing performance rendered onLIVE AT BUDOKAN. Fronting a quartet that includes longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde (latest in a long line of hot-shot guitarists dating back to the late Randy Rhodes), Suicidal Tendencies bassist Robert Trujillo, and Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin, the Ozzman is in ferociously fine form.
Hop-scotching through his considerable canon with Wylde providing molten riffs throughout, Ozzy delivers scalding versions of classics ranging from "I Don't Know" and "Crazy Train" to an over-the-top reading of "Mr. Crowley" juiced up by John Sinclair's ominous keyboard intro. Ozzy shows his range with the prog-metal psychedelia of "No More Tears," the heartfelt emoting that defines the smash power ballad "Mama I'm Coming Home," and the soaring semi-autobiography "Road To Nowhere." Although the only Sabbath number included in this set is the overplayed "Paranoid," the rest of LIVE AT BUDOKAN crackles with the kind of energy that you're not going to find on a re-run of Father Knows Best.

The Charlatans U.K.: Tim Burgess (vocals); Jon Baker (guitar); Rob Collins (organ); Martin Blunt (bass); Jon Brookes (drums).
The Charlatans formed in the late '80s in a remote Northern England town, one of hundreds of groups profoundly influenced by that chart-topping indie-rock band from neighboring Manchester, the Stone Roses. SOME FRIENDLY, the Charlatans' 1990 debut, is certainly brimming with Roses references. Almost all of the album's 11 songs feature the shuffling "Manchester" drum beat popularized by the Roses, and Charlatans singer Tim Burgess' laid-back, confident voice sounds quite similar to that of the Roses' Ian Brown.
Unlike most Roses-inspired bands, the Charlatans were willing and able to take their music beyond the narrow confines of the "Manchester sound." Their most distinctive element was Rob Collins' surging Hammond organ. Although the catchy keyboard hook on the single "The Only One I Know" was lifted from Deep Purple's 1968 hit "Hush," the Charlatans' swirling, psychedelic sound gave the classic English rock sound of the '60s a distinctly modern twist. Several other songs - notably the majestic"Sproston Green" and "Polar Bear" - capture a similarly dreamy pop mood. Burgess' limited voice and the lack of compelling, Roses-styled melodies make SOME FRIENDLY an acquired taste, but this promising debut provided a foundation from which the Charlatans worked themselves into one of England's top rock bands.

Personnel include: Brandy (vocals); Kanye West, T.I. (vocals); Baby Dubb (various instruments, programming); Glenn S. Jeffrey (guitar); Ervin A. Pope (keyboards); Thaddeus Tribbett (bass guitar).
Producers: Brandy Norwood; Warryn "Baby Dubb" Campbell; Timbaland; Kanye West; Organized Noize.
Recording information: 2004.
Personal turmoil has always proved to be a creative elixir for musicians, so it's not surprising that Brandy Norwood would dip into that well for inspiration on her fourth album, AFRODISIAC. In addition to her transformation from a teenage pop/TV star to an international music sensation, the 25-year-old vocalist followedmotherhood with a divorce and also stepped away from longtime production partner Rodney Jerkins. In the process, Brandy cast herself in a much sexier and more mature light, which is reflected throughout these 15 songs.
Brandy's wisest moves were enlisting hip-hop guru Timbaland behind the boards and bringing Kanye West along for the ride as well. The Timbaland-produced songs, particularly the snappy title cut (with its intricately layered vocal tracks) and the slow-rolling funk of "Focus," gurgle with the Virginia-based maestro's trademark staccato beats and rich production style. Chicago native West is equally impressive, dueting with Brandy amid sweet, Gamble & Huff-flavored string arrangements in the autobiographical "Talk about Our Love." With its engaging and expressive tracks, AFRODISIAC proves to be another victory for the old adage about great art emerging from emotional pain.

Recorded at The Church Studio, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"Tryin' To Get To New Orleans" was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
In a musical milieu dominated by hat acts and assembly-line arrangements, Tulsa's Tractors have delved deep into their Oklahoma roots to rekindle some real down-home fire on the country charts. THE TRACTORS' chicken-fried, Southwestern sounds harken back to those wild nights at the local roadhouse, gettin' down to the sounds of hard drinkin' storytellers as the band pumps out dirt-floor boogie from behind a barbed-wire fence.
With "The Tulsa Shuffle." the Tractors give a nod to their favorite musical styles, while making a persuasive case for their own good-natured, down home mix of country, blues, R&B and western swing. A rocket-in-the-pocket version of Chuck Berry's "Thirty Days" reinforces these connections, as lead singer Steve Ripley's gruff, yard-dog vocals frame the tune in a decidedly back-porch context.
Elsewhere, the Tractors employ a host of legendary sidemen in telling cameo roles. On the terrific "The Little Man" the Tractors fantasize about bankers, IRS flunkies and politicians trading places with actual working people ("the little man is getting smaller all the time"), as Bonnie Raitt's slide guitar moans away in the distance. Telecaster guitar legend James Burton enlivens"Baby Likes To Rock It"; the venerable Bob Wills guitarist Eldon Shamblin puts the pedal to the metal on "Doreen," and Jim Keltner and Ry Cooder add a classic touch to "The Blue Collar Rock." THE TRACTORS is a classic jalopy.

In keeping with the hard-hitting butenormously addictive feel of LEGIT BALLIN', Twista presents a batch of tunes that feature simple but effective beats and tongue-twisting raps in equal measure. As on his past recordings, Twista doesn't mince words, getting right to the point as he conveys a perfect urban mis-en-scene through a careful mix of uncompromising street-life imagery and "is it ironic" outlandishness. The participation of Turtle Banxx, China White, Fiend, and others adds depth to the album, but there's just no way to steal the stage from a vocal presence as charismatic as Twista.

Plastikman: Richie Hawtin (various instruments).
Recorded at UTK, Windsor, Canada.
Richie Hawtin's full-length debut, 1993's SHEET ONE, saw the U.K.-born, Canadian-raised, U.S.-based artist emerge from Detroit's dance-oriented techno underground with a softer, more cerebral creative vision. Merging the best of both worlds, Hawtin applies the beat-based vocabulary of house and techno to his own process of minimalist composition, atmospheric textures and evocative tonal shadings. The pure, Eno-esque ambient colorings of "Dre," the quiet, ambiguous sound shadings of "Vokx," and the otherworldly beauty of "Gak" (which was later remixed on the RECYCLED PLASTIK EP) indicate that Hawtin is no ordinary turntablist. Still, beat-based mind journeys like "Glob," with its looping bass groove, and "Helikoptor," in which the phased tone oscillates to approximate the song's title, show that Hawtin has no intention of abandoning his techno/rave/acid house roots. SHEET ONEis an auspicious first album from a prime player in the world of electronica.

Personnel: Jimmy Fallon (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Gerald Bradford (guitar, background vocals); Mark Ronson (keyboards, bass, background vocals); Justin Stanley (keyboards, drums, background vocals); Peter Iselin (keyboards); Nadia Dajani (background vocals).
Recorded at The Hit Factory, New York, New York; Cello Studios, Los Angeles, California.
THE BATHROOM WALL was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Comedy Album.
Hot on the heels of his hosting the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards comes Jimmy Fallon's comedy album debut THE BATHROOM WALL. As with his work as a cast member of Saturday Night Live, Fallon's strength comes from his ability to draw from straight stand-up, hilarious impressions, and deft musical parodies. Wielding an impressive falsetto, the young comic rips through original songs that rangefrom country honk Rolling Stones ("Idiot Boyfriend") to a Beastie Boys-flavored confessional ("[I Can't Play] Basketball").
Equally impressive is "Troll Doll Celebrities," one of his earliest bits where in a fictional audition for an ad campaign endorsing these odd-looking figures, Fallon gets to run through an array of uncanny celebrity impressions including Robin Williams, John Travolta's Vinnie Barbarino. and Adam Sandler. The musical segment of this bit, "Troll Doll Jingles," finds the excitable Saugerties native delivering spot-on parodies of songs by Dave Matthews ("So Much To Say"), U2 ("Desire"), and Coldplay ("Yellow"). This musical mayhem continues on "Hammertime," a segment doubling as an homage to the '80s that finds Fallon insisting any song from that era can be sung to the sound of MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" including "Come On Eileen," "Der Kommisar," and "The Safety Dance."

All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
In retrospect, it's hard to believe that Buffalo Springfield could not only top their debut album, but that they'd do it within a year. AGAIN clearly states the band's case as a rootsy American Beatles to rival folk-rock kings the Byrds.
Singer-songwriters Steve Stills and Neil Young were firing on all cylinders, Young moving easily from sharp-tongued acid rock ("Mr. Soul") to complex, artsong-like ballads (the epic "Broken Arrow"). Stills could shift on a dime as well, offering the hypnotic, jazzy waltz "Everydays" right alongside the celebratory "Rock & Roll Woman" and the RUBBER SOUL-influenced "Bluebird." Richie Furay gamely navigated the choppy seas between these two giants and penned some beautiful, ahead-of-its-time country-rock along the way.

Solo performer: Anoushka Shankar (sitar).
Recorded live at Carnegie Hall, New York, New York on October 6, 2000 and at Salisbury Festival, Salisbury, England on June 8, 2001. Includes liner notes by Anoushka Shankar.
LIVE AT CARNEGIE was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best World Music Album.
October 6, 2000 must have been quite a night at Carnegie Hall, not only did the evening produce the live Ravi Shankar album FULL CIRCLE, but the opening set by Shankar's daugher Anoushka was captured for posterity as well. As such, LIVE AT CARNEGIE HALL stands to prove that the young sitarist has learned well from the greatest teacher she could hope to have--her father. Accompanied by a group in the Indian classical tradition--tanpura and tablas--she moved deftly through a program of original compositions by the elder Shankar. Though the set contained no traditional pieces, the ragas are all in the classic form. Despite being young and Westernized (not to mention Norah Jones's lookalike half-sister), Anoushka has made no attempt to cross over to the pop mainstream via cheesy aesthetic compromises; she upholds the Indian classical music tradition with a purity equaled only by herinstrumental skills. Both her technical facility and her emotive style are on display here, as she shows that she is one of the most gifted sitar players of her era.

When Iron Maiden's entire catalog was reissued in the U.S. in the late '90s, the group's two live albums from 1993, A REAL LIVE ONE and A REAL DEAD ONE, were combined together as a two-disc set, entitled A REAL LIVE DEAD ONE. A REAL DEAD ONE is made up of live renditions of songs from the group's 1980 self-titled debut through 1983's PIECE OF MIND, while A REAL LIVE ONE contains favorites from 1986's SOMEWHERE IN TIME through 1992's FEAR OF THE DARK. The songs were recorded during the band's 1992-1993 European tour, and the two-disc set includes an interesting and detailed Iron Maiden family tree, which lists all of the members' (past and present) previous and current bands.

Produced by Funkadelic mastermind George Clinton, 1985's FREAKY STYLEY was a slightly more focused Peppers' recording than the band's 1984 self-titled debut. It also marked the return of original guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. Though FREAKY STYLEY lacks the firepower of the Peppers' more hard-rocking future recordings, more than a few Peppers classics reside here. Highlights include "Jungle Man," "Hollywood" (a reworking of the Meters' "Africa"), "Nevermind," "Catholic School Girls Rule," and the oft-overlooked "The Brothers Cup." FREAKY STYLEY helped set the stage for one of the Peppers' finest albums, 1987's THE UPLIFT MOFO PARTY PLAN.

Engineers: Jan Erik Kongshaug, Gragg Lunsford.
Recorded at Power Station, New York, New York in October 1981.
Opening with some beautiful synclavier and Lyle Mays' exquisite soaring synths on 'Barcarole', this is an atmosphere album. It moves from delicacy to beauty and is arguably the most complete album of his incredible career. The delightful 'James' (a tribute to James Taylor, listen to the guitar inflections) is complemented by the awesome 'Au Lait'; and if that was not enough, this contains surely Metheny's finest moment, 'Are You Going With Me', a song that builds and builds over the most fabulous rhythm, and even after nearly nine minutes it leaves you begging for more. A stunning piece of music that is neither jazz nor rock.

Personnel includes: Mariah Carey, Joe (vocals); Busta Rhymes, Lord Tariq, Peter Gunz, Krayzie Bone, Wishbone, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Da Brat, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Jadakiss, Bone Crusher (rap vocals).
With THE REMIXES, Mariah Carey presents another compilation that can go on the shelf next to her #1's and GREATEST HITS. This two-disc set features Carey's best bits reworked by a number of famous names in the dance world including David Morales, Junior Vasquez, and C&C Music Factory (aka David Cole and Robert Clivilles). As a thumbnail portrait of this Long Island native's career, the collection balances dance-floor-ready remixes with grittier hip-hop tracks. As a result, the first disc features nine of her biggest club hits, including "Dream Lover," "Fantasy," "Emotions," and "Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)."Also notable is the Carey/Vasquez team-up on "Heartbreaker/If You Should Ever Be Lonely." Disc two can easily be considered the Mariah Carey rap disc, as many of the songs feature her work with some of hip-hop's biggest stars, including Snoop Dogg ("Crybaby"), Busta Rhymes and the Flipmode Squad ("I Know What You Want"), and the always-outrageous O.D.B. ("Fantasy").

Additional personnel: John Frusciante (guitar); Justin Meldel Johnson (bass); Lenny Castro (percussion).
Producers: Rick Rubin, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez.
Recorded at the Mansion, Los Angeles, California.
Formed by Cedric Bixler and Omar Rodriguez from the ashes of their previous band At The Drive-In, The Mars Volta takes a dizzying journey to hell and back on this colorfully titled album, traveling inside the mind of a man who attempted suicide but went into a week-long coma before ultimately choosing death. As one might expect the ride is intense and at times disturbing. Galloping bass by Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) provides the rocky foundation for exploratory psychedelic guitar experimentation and keyboard soundscapes that paint an aural picture of madness.
The centerpiece of DE-LOUSED IN THE COMATORIUM is the 12-minute plus "Cicatriz Esp." Its long, ambient middle section lulls you into a nervous calm before breaking out into a Santana-esque jam. Take care, though; trying to interpret thelyrics, or song titles ("Eriatarka") for that matter, in a literal sense will undoubtedly place you in the same deep psychic void as the subject. In an era where cookie-cutter bands pretending to be angry at life are the norm, The Mars Volta is a shining example of originality and talent.

BRIGHT RED (1994) is the outgrowth of STORIES FROM THE NEW BIBLE, a series of talesdeveloped by Laurie Anderson. These STORIES were performed at live concerts ("readings") in the early '90s and were subsequently published in book form before Anderson had developed the studio "song" versions heard on BRIGHT RED. For Anderson, "song" often suggests an exploration of language rather than any traditional sense of "singing." She addresses an array of topics, covering everything from war to pop culture (in Anderson's view, the two are not really that far apart).
Anderson is a respected name on New York's avant-garde scene, and she performs here with other key figures-Arto Lindsay, Adrian Belew, Marc Ribot, and Lou Reed (who provides his usual deadpan vocals on "In Our Sleep"). Perhaps most importantly, Brian Eno, the king of minimalism and sound experimentation, lends his talents to BRIGHT RED. His touch is evident. Anderson's voice hovers quietly over sparse, largely ambient musical sculptures, her delivery varying between sung and spoken, both with and without electronic manipulation. This album is a fine place to start exploring the art of Laurie Anderson.

"The Barry Williams Show" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
Though much effort has obviously been put into the sonic details of UP's production, and to fine effect, the album seems to represent not so much a new direction for Peter Gabriel, but rather a consolidation of the styles he's mined in preceding years. For instance, the opening track "Darkness" combines the dark, tension-filled paranoia of Gabriel's third self-titled album with the positive, seemingly therapy-derived lyrical direction of US's "Digging in the Dirt." Similarly, the heartworn emotionality of "No Way Out" brings to mind US's "Red Rain," but adds some slinky spy-movie guitar lines.
With a decade passing since his last album of new songs, Gabriel clearly has much to say, and accordingly most tracks hover around the seven-minute mark and are filled with sophisticated, enticing touches in an agreeable electronic/organic blend. With nothing to prove anymore, Gabriel sounds appropriately unconcerned about commerciality, as the only thing that comes within shouting distance of an "accessible" track is the TV-sensationalism parody "The Barry Williams Show," whose length and gritty lyrics make it an unlikely candidate for the top 40. In the end, UP is the sound of a mature artist pursuing the perfection of his craft, giving little thought to anything but the realization of his distinctive artistic vision.

The album that found the band sandwiched between being animportant cult band on the verge of major success and being the world's most successful rock band of the 90s. A tricky situation, but this album made the breakthrough and mighty Warner Brothers were behind it. R.E.M. were able to get their folky mandolin material like 'You Are The Everything' accepted on an equal footing with great pop such as 'Stand' or 'Pop Song 89' (which could have been written by Jim Morrison and titled 'Hello I Love You'). 'Orange Crush' is already an FM radio favourite, and the rest is all recent history.

In the beginning there was metal and it was heavy. In the mid-'80s an underground sub-genre made a name for itself based as much on satanic imagery as on extreme music, with bands like Bathory and Mayhem. Enter England's Cradle of Filth, who took black metal to new heights in the '90s. DAMNATION AND A DAY finds the band at the artistic pinnacle of its controversial career, with the unprecedented-for-the-genre support of Sony firmly behind them.
Forged with fire and brimstone, DAMNATION tells the biblical tale of temptation ("Serpent Tongue") and the revenge of outcasts ("Carrion"), a theme present in many Cradle albums, be the subjects cast out of society or heaven. Dani Filth's multifaceted whisper-to-a-scream vocals are operatic in scope and anguished with pain. Not unlike a more evil manifestation of Iron Maiden, double-time melodic riffs gallop and trample the senses. Brass-heavy orchestral interludes like a Verdi requiem and Karloff-esque spoken passages lend a horror-film quality. Goth ("Thank God For The Suffering") and Egyptian ("Doberman Pharaoh") vibes add depth and texture. DAMNATION is an all-out aural assault that will force you to take notice.
