Fly Music Review

Average Rating: (3.7 out of 5 stars) 3.5 stars

5 stars Definitive
Easily her best album. The first disc is more rock oriented with songs like "Midsummer New York", "Mintrain", and probably one of her most well known songs, "Don't Worry Kyoko", all of which are simply fantastic. The second disc is much more experimental and is mostly Yoko doing her virtuoso vocal type thing. That's not to say that the pieces aren't good because they are. Take "Airmale" for example. Creepy yet oddly stunning, sort of like the entire album in general.

John Lennon Unfinished Music #1: Two Virgins CD (1968)

Fly album

$14.49

Subtitled UNFINISHED MUSIC NO. 1, this was the first of a series of recordings that were released near the beginning of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's relationship. Ono, a member of the Fluxus art movement, was a respected artist and had been producing pieces in non-traditional media (sound, video, conceptual) throughout the '60s--in fact she met Lennon when he came to one of her gallery exhibitions. With the Beatles in often-fractious circumstances at that time, Lennon poured his energies into collaborations with her. The two long pieces which comprise the bulk of this CD were originally a side each of a vinyl record (the bonus track, a lovely song called "Remember Love," was the B-side to their "Give Peace a Chance" single). They're both sound collages which incorporate found sounds, bits of other recordings, some keyboards and other instruments, as well as Lennon and Ono variously talking and vocalizing. This was the public's first glimpse of Yoko's particular style of singing which included whoops, warbles, and shrieks. The verbal exchanges between the couple are often quite charming and amusing. At the time of its release, this duo album by John Lennon and Yoko Ono gained its greatest notice for its ...

John Lennon Unfinished Music, No. 2: Life With The Lions CD (1969)

Fly CD music

$14.55

Recorded live at Lady Mitchell Hall, Cambridge, England on March 2, 1969 and at Queen Charlotte Hospital, London, England on November 4 & 25, 1968. This album, subtitled UNFINISHED MUSIC NO. 2, is linked to its predecessor (TWO VIRGINS: UNFINISHED MUSIC NO. 1) by name only. Though both offer recordings that found John Lennon happily stepping into the avant-garde world of his paramour, this album departs from the sound collage approach of their debut and instead offers a range of real time recordings. The improvisational 26-minute "Cambridge 1969" is from a live performance and primarily features Yoko Ono's vocals and Lennon's feedback guitar. Four subsequent pieces (originally comprising side two of the album) were recorded at the Queen Charlotte ...

John Lennon Wedding Album CD (1969)

Fly music CDs

$14.55

Digitally remastered by George Marino and Rob Stevens at Sterling Sound, New York, New York. The couple's third album in less than a year commemorated their wedding in Gibraltar on March 20, 1969. It was also the final installment of a sort of trilogy of releases which brought avant-garde music further into the mainstream than ever before (excepting "Revolution No. 9" on The Beatles' WHITE ALBUM). Their subsequent releases headed more or less into the realm of traditional song structures. Two long pieces were originally presented as the two sides of a record (which itself came in a box with a photo of a slice of wedding cake and other enclosures). "John & Yoko" finds the couple calling out each other's name with every possible sort of emphasis. "Amsterdam" was recorded during their "Bed-In for Peace" at the Amsterdam Hilton. Recorded directly to ...

Yoko Ono Feeling The Space CD (1973)

Fly songs

$10.39

Principally recorded at The Record Plant, New York, New York in September 1973 and live at The First International Feminist Conference, Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1973. Includes liner notes by Yoko Ono. Digitally remastered by George Marino and Rob Stevens, Sterling Sound, New York, New York. One of Yoko Ono's finest solo albums, 1973's FEELING THE SPACE continues the militant political charge of its predecessor, APPROXIMATELY INFINITE UNIVERSE. From the Yoko-as-Sphinx cover art to the plainspoken, angry songs within, FEELING THE SPACE is Ono's most overtly feminist album. The lyrics are surprisingly subtle and emotionally complex, from the painful ...

Complete Syl Johnson On Hi Records CDs (2000)

Fly album

$22.79
Syl Johnson started out his career on the blues side of things, working with Howlin' Wolf, Junior Wells, Magic Sam and others, but his biggest successes have come as a soul singer, first for Peter Wright's TwiNight label (originally TwiLight Records, it became TwiNight when it was discovered that another label already owned the Twilight name) in the late 1960s, and then with Hi Records in the early- to mid-'70s. Working with the venerable producer Willie Mitchell and the unbeatable Hi rhythm section, Johnson put out four albums for the label, all of which are included here on this double-disc set, The Complete Syl Johnson on Hi Records, along with a handful of bonus tracks. Singing at the upper end of his range, Johnson sounds a bit (well, actually, a lot) like a poor man's Al Green, his labelmate at Hi, working the same smooth, sensual shuffle that Mitchell seemed to be able to pull effortlessly from the air. There's a lot to like here, including the sexy "Feelin' Frisky," the wonderfully sincere "I Want to Take You Home (To See Mama)," the hard-hitting "Stuck in Chicago," the goofy (but winning) "I Hear the Love Chimes," and Johnson's biggest hit with Hi, a version of Al Green's "Take Me to the River," which peaked at number seven on the R&B charts ...

Gov't Mule By A Thread CD (2009)

Fly CD music

$12.29

BY A THREAD is Gov't Mule's first studio album since HIGH & MIGHTY was issued in 2006. Since that time, bassist Andy Hess has been replaced by Jorgen Carlsson, though Hess appears on two tracks at the end of the album. Carlsson's playing style is much more aggressive than Hess', and is therefore closer - in spirit anyway - to Gov't Mule's original bassist, the late Allen Woody, though he possesses an adventurous sense of time and is harmonically more colorful than either Woody or Hess. Carlsson and drummer Matt Abst are a solid match, since Abst is a drummer used to shifting time signatures and allowing the unexpected ...
