 (2 Customer Reviews)
When STUDIO TAN first appeared in 1978 it was in a rapid barrage with three other titles (SLEEP DIRT, ORCHESTRAL FAVORITES and LIVE IN NEW YORK) which served to fill and end Frank Zappa's contractual obligations to his then-label, Warner Brothers. The four pieces that make up this work have since been reconfigured by Zappa back into his once-slated 4-record set, LATHER (released posthumously as a 3-CD set).
"The Adventures Of Gregory Peccary," at twenty minutes, constitutes half of the album and is a monumental work of story-telling with diverse compositional and arrangement figures. It touches on musical themes found throughout much of Zappa's other work up to that time. Bits of surf music fly by trailed by symphonic fanfares. "Revised Music For Guitar And Low-Budget Orchestra" is an abbreviated and reworked version of a piece originally composed as a feature for the violin (and premiered on Jean-Luc Ponty's KING KONG album).

Studio Tan album
 $9.99    
The times were crying out for a pop star like Lady GaGa -- a self-styled, self-made shooting star, one who mocked the tabloid digital age while still wanting to wallow in it -- and one who's smart enough to pull it all off, too. That self-awareness and satire were absent in the pop of the new millennium, where even the best of the lot operated only on one level, which may be why Lady GaGa turned into such a sensation in 2009: everybody was thirsty for music like this, music for and about their lives, both real and virtual. To a certain extent, the reaction to The Fame may have been a little too enthusiastic, with GaGa turning inescapable sometime in the summer of 2009, when she appeared on countless magazine covers while both Weezer and DAUGHTRY covered "Pokerface," the rush to attention suggesting that she was the second coming of Madonna, a comparison GaGa cheerfully courts and one that's accurate if perhaps overextended. Like the marvelous Madge, Lady GaGa ushers the underground into the mainstream -- chiefly, a dose of diluted Peaches delivered via ...

CAPTAIN AND ME found the Doobie Brothers boasting three strong vocalists, two expert guitarists, and a brace of rhythmic drummers, refining a sound that crossed AM pop-rock, soul-tinged R&B, country-folk, jazzy gospel, and strong musicianship. The result burst the band into national prominence. Traces ...

| | Corinne Bailey Rae Sea CD (2010)
Studio Tan album
$13.64
After selling four million copies of her debut album, an effort filled with her precious brand of neo-soul and the uplifting hit "Put Your Records On," singer/songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae lost her husband Jason Rae suddenly and took two years off to grieve and recover before returning with her second effort, The Sea. On the album's opener "Are You Here," lyrics like "Wait till you see those eyes" and "He'll kiss you make you feel sixteen" suggest she's just fallen in love, but the fascinating idea behind The Sea is that it never explains itself, even if there's a new richness in Rae's soft and oh-so-tender voice that suggests something has changed deep inside. As such, the song's "What's it even mean?" question could be the beginning of a love affair or a tragedy, but the following "I'd Do It All Again" is even trickier, as post-argument lyrics written before her husband's tragic loss ("You're searching for something I know/Won't make you happy") take on new meaning . Further confusing the matter, throughout the album the singer speaks of her love in the present tense. Then there ...
| | David Bowie Reality Tour CDs (2004) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Canada
Studio Tan CD music
$18.05
Originally released as a home video in 2004, David Bowie's A Reality Tour saw a two-CD audio release slated for January 2010, with three previously unreleased bonus tracks -- "Fall Dogs Bombs the Moon," "Breaking Glass," "China Girl" -- adding value to those hardcore fans who already own this concert as a DVD. In either the video or audio incarnation, this November 2003 Dublin, Ireland show is an entertaining, open-hearted set, finding Bowie running through a generous selection of oldies -- both hits and album tracks, including songs written by Bowie, like "All the Young Dudes" and "Sister Midnight" -- and new songs that hold up well next to the classics. This is Bowie in his mode as a crowd-pleasing professional, playing with considerable charm and skill, offering no surprises but plenty of pleasure: it's not the first album that will come to mind when thinking of live Bowie, but as it's playing, it's hard to resist. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
