Bohuslav Martinu: The Frescos Of Piero Della Francesca; Rhapsody-Concerto; Double Concerto
 $13.79    
Beginning with its incendiary title track--a battle cry consisting of three chords and three howled words (guess which)--1985's NEW DAY RISING is an audio hand grenade showcasing the increasing might of Husker Du. The record has the hallmarks of the mid- to late-period Husker records: impassioned vocals, Mould's buzzsaw guitar, Hart's crisp, trebly drumming and not a whole lot of bottom. Bob Mould sounds as angry as ever. His primal, sour-toned vocals seem to come straight from his viscera on such explosive numbers as "I Apologize" and "Powerline," but he also shows unexpected tenderness in moments like the hushed middle section and coda of the anthemic "Celebrated Summer."
Grant Hart continues to present a slightly sunnier counterpoint to Mould's dark obsessions, especially on the incongruously cheerful "Books About UFOs" and the bouncy rocker "Terms of Psychic Warfare," but he still seethes on powerful cuts like "If I Told You" and "The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill." Slices of gleeful chaos like "How to Skin a Cat" and ""Whatcha Drinkin'" show the group's fondness for noise for noise's sake, and the closing "Plans I Make" is nothing short of a sonic meltdown.

$18.94  
Andrea Bocelli's 2009 My Christmas album finds the Italian tenor performing various classic holiday-themed songs that touch on a mix of classical, opera, and pop. Included are such well-known holiday songs as "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," "O Tannenbaum," and "Silent Night." The versatile Bocelli also delves into such iconic Christmas hits as "Blue Christmas" and "The Christmas Song" (featuring a duet with Natalie Cole). Of course, the opera and classic songs are Bocelli's bread and butter, and here listeners get such lavishly produced cuts as "Adeste Fidelis," "Cantique del Noel," and "Caro Gesu Bambino." My Christmas is not only a warm and inviting holiday album, but also a superb classical ...

The second installment in Bang on a Can's own label, Cantaloupe Music, is as wonderful their Renegade Heaven disc, though it couldn't be more different. David Lang has composed a 42-minute piece of music based on one chord performed by 40 musicians. His concern that the fast, snappy music that permeated people's existence at this point in history blurred and made completely invisible the passage of time -- or people's wanting to think about it -- is what inspired this slower-than-slow ambient meditation on time. As the orchestra -- which is electronically amplified -- plays one elongated chord over several measures and then repeats it in the same way ad infinitum, the soloists respond to it with notes that are so painfully elongated that they have to stop and take breaths. As a result, time becomes its own map, its own terrain, its own character of beauty, myth, and text. This is shapeless music that has as its armor an imposing architecture, one of beauty and silence. It's true Morton Feldman is called to mind here, but the major difference between Lang and Feldman is that Lang is already aware of the relationships his harmonies have to one another and how his chord plays out, whereas for Feldman that was an investigation; the score was the field where those relationships would create, dispute, and dissipate themselves in favor of other ones. As Ehrlich plays a "C" about ten minutes into the piece, his note offers the listener a door into another reality, into stillness -- because if even the soloist is playing the root note that this glorious chord is based on, it must be rooted in a more basic element: that of stillness, and nothing marks the passage of time or its complete absorption into eternity like stillness. For fans of ambient music, this is a bar higher than any imagined. For those interested in Feldman's music, there is something of its haunted heartwrought beauty here. For post-rock fans who are taken with music by Stars of the Lid, Labradford, M, and that ilk, this will move you in the same way. And finally, for those fans of minimalism that thought mode was the very thing that the musical world turned on, this might turn you around. As John Cage wrote about the music of Feldman once that his music was "...beautiful. Sometimes too beautiful..." that ...
