| | Yoko Ono Story CD Yoko Ono Discography of CDs
Digitally remastered by George Marino and Rob Stevens, Sterling Sound, New York, New York.
A continuation of the 1992 compilation WALKING ON THIN ICE, with which it shares no tracks, A STORY is a fine precis of the '80s and '90s work of possibly the most misunderstood artist in the history of popular music. The album lacks the sonic aggression and playful anarchy of her '60s performance art and early collaborations with John Lennon, as well as the seething anger of her '70s free-jazz-influenced rock & roll albums. Considering that it came after new wave and post-punk artists who were audibly influenced by her trailblazing efforts, Ono's late work simply doesn't sound terribly weird! The songs on A STORY are Ono's rapprochement with the pop mainstream, and while they're typically direct and unflinchingly honest, her plainspoken, often aggressive lyrics are here set in attractive, pleasant synth-oriented pop music. Highlights include the wistful "Hard Times Are Over" and the defiant "She Gets Down on Her Knees."
Principally recorded at Record Plant, New York, New York in 1974 and live in Budapest, Hungary in 1986.

Purchase Story CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Yoko Ono & Plastic Ono Band CD (1970)
Story album
 $14.49   
Recorded during the sessions for John Lennon's PLASTIC ONO BAND and packaged in nearly exactly the same sleeve (Lennon said his intent was to make some people accidentally buy Ono's record instead of his own), YOKO ONO & PLASTIC ONO BAND springs from the same impulses as its better-known doppelganger. Written and recorded while Lennon and Ono were under the influence of Arthur Janov's Primal Scream therapy, the album's six lengthy tracks are more abstract ...
| | Yoko Ono Fly CDs (1971) 2CD Slim
Story CD music
$17.15 
Easily the most experimental of Yoko Ono's '70s solo albums, the two-disc, 95-minute FLY is nonetheless considerably more structured and accessible than her earlier, deliberately chaotic collaborations with John Lennon, such as 1968's TWO VIRGINS. Recorded with the core personnel of the Plastic Ono Band, including Lennon, Ringo Starr, and Klaus Voorman, FLY veers from relatively straightforward songs like "Midsummer New York" and the rueful "Mrs. Lennon" through more challenging fare like an extended take of "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand in the Snow." There's also the hypnotic "Don't Count the Waves" ...

Story songs
$10.89 
SEASONS OF GLASS was Yoko Ono's first solo album in the wake of John Lennon's death. In a controversial move-hailed by some as brave and defiant but denounced by others as tasteless and exploitative-SEASONS' cover photo depicts the view of Central Park from the apartment Ono and Lennon shared. Lennon's bloodied, shattered glasses sit on the windowsill, in the foreground. It's a staggering image and one that accurately reflects the music .
Though most of SEASONS ...

Casual metalheads will listen to Helloween and say, "They sound kinda like Iron Maiden." The fact of the matter is that Maiden sounds like Helloween.

The statement may raise a few eyebrows, but this ex-Menudo hunk has come up a stunner of an album. A track like "Livin' La Vida Loca" makes a seamless amalgam of Pan-Americana in which surf guitars, electronica, and Mariachi horns rock together in fine form, and its Spanglish chorus feels as ordinary ...
