...startlingly comprehensive one; generous portions of their four major albums are sampled, to both good ends (you get TONS of music here) and bad .... But if you're coming here from the GS I Love You Too compilation, be advised that this is a *great* purchase Because the Tempters were, for a brief period, an excellent little band. If anything,...

2007-12-19 12:01:47 by Mike Mineo in Obscure Sound - Indie Music Blog
...startlingly simple like wind chimes and bells or an aspect more irrelevantly laced like profuse sobbing, Lennoxs admirable level of unpredictability allows for songs like Bros and Good Girl/Carrots to be some of the years best. Though both are over 12 minutes long, Lennox makes every second count. With his vocals soaked in reverb over...

...startlingly good, and far more authentic than those used by the King Crimson alumni group 21st Century Schizoid Band I still don't find the notion of tribute bands very appealing, but the Musical Box is a thing apart: a faithfully executed replication of a historical body of work, enacted with surpassing skill and infectious passion by a...

Worldwide Atonality Day

2007-12-15 10:49:41 by Alex Ross in Alex Ross: The Rest Is Noise
...startlingly dissonant turn in places, though Viennese lyricism still predominates. Fragments of a D-minor quartet from 1901-1904 (distinct from the First Quartet in the same key) show Schoenberg well advanced in his harmonic quest, exploring ever more tangled contrapuntal thickets. Amid increasing complexity, it's a bit of a shock to hear the...

2007-12-18 20:16:00 by hedgehog in Sonic Process
...startlingly inventive. Both A Paw in My Face and Good Things End wind their AM gold samplesPaws coming from Lionel Richies Helloaround healthy beats in gentle progressions that mount into full-out disco struts, in ways you cant help but feel Jason Forrest should be studying at short-arms length. The samples become rhythmic guitar parts to...

Re-Issued Beck Album Includes Previously Unreleased Songs From Original Sessions

2007-12-26 02:43:14 by mollifire of MOG in MOG - Editor's Picks
 
...startlingly original work When I met him after a show in 1994, he acted like he was bonkers, yet claimed he didn't smoke weed or do drugs. In fact he proclaimed he didn't smoke weed right after asking us if we wanted to smoke a joint! Maybe it was the club (aka "the joint") that he wanted to smoke, I'll never know. But he definitely had an...

Julian Waterfall Pollack: Exclusive Interview

...startlingly young generation of jazz musicians is bringing fresh insights and new energy to the music One of the most promising prodigies is Julian Waterfall Pollack . The teenager is already attracting significant attention. While Marian McPartland called Peterson "the finest technician that I have ever seen," she's also a Pollack patron ...

Notes toward a review of the Boulez Mahler 8th

...startlingly (and happily) unidiomatic at times, like his 1971 performance of Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto with Sir Clifford Curzon, but - often as not - he is Pierre Boulez, regardless of the material on the podium. He is not Leonard Bernstein, and he is not Otto Klemperer. There are not going to be any histrionics, nor are there going to...

...startlingly talented musicians, was enough to tear me away from the Information Society track that was chirping away in my stereo What I saw when I walked into Rockbar is exactly what I love about our incestuous scene and what makes it so special. Super-DJ Michael Trundle greeted me as I came through the door. A few barstools away, a handful...

Reggaeton making its way into the pop mainstream

2007-12-28 16:33:07 by admin in blog.mp3adrenalin.com
 
...startlingly effective ballad/hip-hop fusion, Voltio trades verses with the late great Tito Rodriguez in Yo Se Que Tiemblas (I Know You Tremble), which remakes a Tito Curet Alonso bolero from the 60s Many of reggaetons basic elements are present in En lo Claro, and not just as vestigial traces of the hot-and-bothered party music. Me Pones Mal...
