DJ-KICKS is a continuous, in-the-mix recording by Smith & Mighty.
Packed with their own productions and remixes, Smith & Mighty's volume in the DJ-Kicks series does a very good job at blending beat-heavy tracks with the pair's occasional experimentalist flair. Including the early Bacharach covers "Walk on By" and "Anyone Who Had a Heart," plus a remix of another longtime pop classic ("The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face") and tracks by other Bristol massives like DJ Krust, DJ-Kicks showcases the Smith & Mighty production team better than Bass Is Maternal. ~ John Bush
Drum 'n' bass is just one piece of the Bristol puzzle. Hip hop, roots reggae & dub also find their place on this mix alongside S&Ms own classic, visionary cuts which include recent instrumental of tracks found on their 1995 release 'Bass is Maternal'. All of the tracks are contemporary & all but one are from Bristol (and that track was mixed by Bristol's More Rockers). The final track, recorded specially for this mix - as ...

This release from U.S. contemporary jazz group Art Ensemble Of Chicago combines two previous recordings, LES STANCES A SOPHIE, featuring vocalist Fontella Bass, and PEOPLE IN SORROW.
This recording, comprised of two complete Art Ensemble of Chicago albums -- Les Stances a Sophie with singer Fontella Bass from 1970 and People in Sorrow from 1969 -- offers two very different sides of the group's sound from this key period in their development. Recorded in France and released on the Nessa label in the United States, the two discs show how much in command the AEC were of their strengths even at that early date, though for the record it should be noted that with the exception of Don Moye and Lester Bowie, the trio of Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, and Malachi Favors had been playing together since 1965. Living in self-imposed exile in France, the band explored the complete historical continuum of jazz and moved the free jazz boundary further to the left. While Les Stances a Sophie is perhaps the most accessible AEC album from the 1960s or 1970s, it nonetheless showcases the love of adventure inside traditional forms. Fontella Bass, married to Bowie at the time, was a catalyst coming from the gospel and R&B traditions. She brought out the sense of groove and grit in the band's rampant experimentalism, and Bowie reigned them in further with his own swinging pastoralism that came just as much from Louis Armstrong as it did from Ted Curson and Albert Ayler. The finest examples of the culture clash in the jazz lineage come on "Theme de Yoyo," on which Bass sings, and the shuffling New Orleans swing of "Variations on a Theme of Monteverdi." There's plenty of AEC weirdness here, too; beautiful passages of multi-textured dissonance and elongated improvisations on thematic statements. But as fine an album as Les Stances a Sophie is, it cannot compare to one of the true masterworks in the AEC's catalog, People in Sorrow. Comprised of just one piece -- split into two long sections as it was on the original LP -- People in Sorrow is a meditation on sound itself. This is the AEC at their most adventurous, yet their most dynamically restrained. There are periods of long silence interrupted sometimes only ...

DJ Kicks CD music
$10.39
This other CD by the well-known Japanese ensemble Ensemble Nipponia is the re-release of a LP first released in 1980 by Nonesuch in their collection on Japanese music. In the first half of this CD, we hear pieces and songs of the well-known Japanese kabuki theater, in the style called nagauta (which means "long song"). Nagauta is not the only style used in kabuki, but is the most important and most appropriately adapted to stage actions, providing dance accompaniment, songs, and background music. The ensemble usually comprises singers, shamisen players, percussionists, and a shinobue player (a small bamboo transverse flute). In the second half of the CD, we can here other traditional pieces from the classical repertoire, such a piece for two shakuhachi, an episode of the well-known Japanese epic "Tale of Heike," the singer accompanying herself on the biwa (the Japanese four-string lute), and ending with two modern compositions, one for a 20-string koto and one for shinobue and percussions. A well deserved re-edition from quite surely the best Japanese ensemble. ~ Bruno Deschênes
Much as with the art of Japanese cuisine, each element in the performance of this often centuries-old music has symbolic importance, from the type and shape of the instrument being used to the sound of a player's breath before he or she moves on to the next note. Each is an essential part of an exquisite greater whole. The same can be said for this latest reissue of East Asian recordings from the Nonesuch Explorer Series: the austere cover artwork and the historical liner notes in the CD booklet, along with the music itself, form a deep impression of the nature of Kabuki theatre, its philosophy as well as its sound. That should come as no surprise to the many fans of the Explorer Series, which has been introducing music from around the globe to adventurous listeners for forty years. This particular edition, Kabuki and Other Traditional Music, is a fascinating companion piece to Shakuhachi: A Bell Ringing in the ...
