Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here CD (1975) Remastered

Desert Blues: Ambiances Of The Sahara CD music

$13.19

Digitally remastered by Doug Sax (The Mastering Lab, Los Angeles, California). Master Sound releases are 24-karat gold CDs remastered from first-generation masters. This process utilizes 20-bit technology and Sony's "Super Bit Mapping" system. The breakthrough success of DARK SIDE OF THE MOON made WISH YOU WERE HERE a crucial follow-up in strictly commercial terms. Further pressure came from it being Pink Floyd's first recording for a new label, Columbia. Yet the demands on the band only provided Roger Waters with more fodder for his lyrics, which glanced at the band's roots as well as their new responsibilities. The mechanized throb of a VCS3 synthesizer, fed through a repeat-echo unit, signals the opening bars of "Welcome to the Machine," a diatribe against an industry more concerned with money than creative music-making. "Have a Cigar" further establishes Waters' contempt by ...

Desert Blues 2 CDs (2003) (Import)

Desert Blues: Ambiances Of The Sahara music CDs

$40.45

Some compilations remind you why the compilation can be a valid art form, and this is one of them. The successor to the successful Desert Blues operates around a very simple principle -- the music of the areas surrounding the Sahara -- but does it so well, illustrating the interchange and development of musical cultures. So, alongside the Algerian sounds of Cheb Mami and Hasna el Bacharia, listeners work through Morocco and Majid Bekkas, whose Gnawa music has its root in slaves imported from West Africa centuries ago. The Tuareg, nomads who wander the desert and its fringes, have their own music and their own way of making it -- "Dios Mio!" uses feet ...

Desert Blues: Ambiances Of The Sahara songs

$10.29

Among the scariest movies ever put on celluloid, like its similarly styled sister, RINGU, this tale of death-by-curse is nothing short of blood chilling. With chapters named after each subsequent victim, it plays like a series of increasingly daunting, deadly vignettes. All of the stories surround a haunted house where the evil spirit of a 5-year-old boy still lurks. The first to enter the residence and be cursed is a young hospice worker visiting an elderly client. She finds the boy duct-taped in a closet, where he first appears to her in the form of a black cat, and then shows his human form which is a shockingly ghoulish white face and blackened eyes. Invisible to all except for those who are next to die, his presence seems like a true mystery. But when family members, friends, curious teenagers, and frightened police investigators begin to drop like flies, it is clear that his spirit thrives. Perhaps it is the unsolvable problem of the boy's vengeance that makes the premise so ...

Paul Simon Surprise CD (2006)

Desert Blues: Ambiances Of The Sahara album

$9.99

As a master craftsman of song, Paul Simon takes his time between albums. SURPRISE arrived six years after its 2000 predecessor YOU'RE THE ONE, but proved to be well worth the wait. In the realization of a process that was already beginning on that earlier album, SURPRISE fully assimilates the international influences of GRACELAND and RHYTHM OF THE SAINTS into a style that's equally polyrhythmic yet indebted to no lone cultural tradition. It doesn't hurt that this is a historic collaboration with producer Brian Eno, who's been delving into pan-ethnic waters since 1981's MY LIFE IN THE BUSH OF GHOSTS. For his part, Eno adds more electronics to the mix than Simon has ever employed before, but like the former's ...
