| | Mother Gong Tree In Fish CD Mother Gong Discography of CDs
This is one of Mother Gong's strongest and most representative efforts, albeit a little late in the group's classic period. The lineup includes Robert Calvert (saxes), Conrad Henderson (bass), and Robert George (drums and percussion), in addition to the nucleus of Gilli Smyth and Harry Williamson. Recorded in part during Mother Gong's 1991 tour of America and in part in an Australian studio, Tree in Fish offers a good balance of space poetry and groovy instrumentals. Smyth's effect-drenched voice takes center stage, but the musicians are left ample room to breathe. "Wilful Housewife" and "The House Is Not the Same" (the latter with brilliant lyrics by Henry Normal) remain among her best performances from that era. This album's strength resides in its free-flowing, spontaneous-sounding track list hiding carefully scored tunes. Tracks like "She Smiled" and "Cafe Reflections" keep things ethereal and improvised, framing more precise songs into a single album context -- a feature that is lacking on the group's other records. ~ François Couture

$16.24  
Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad ...

Tree In Fish CD music

Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like "B********" or the opening theme song "Rammlied" and nostalgic, cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club. Best of the latter is the naked and haunting closer "Roter ...
| | David Bowie Lodger CD (1979) Enhanced CD
Tree In Fish music CDs
$10.89
This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Digitally remastered by Peter Mew and Nigel Reeve (1999, Abbey Road Studios, London, England).
LODGER (1979) was third in Bowie's Berlin trilogy, his collaboration with legendary producer/experimentalist Brian Eno, which began with HEROES and LOW (both released in 1977). While those dark records were heavy on alien-sounding instrumentals, LODGER had none, and even contained songs that seemed relatively straightforward. Considered inaccessible at the time, LODGER now sounds like a classic, transitional Bowie album, if only for its rich spirit of experimentation. ...

| | As Human Kilo CD (2008)
Tree In Fish album
$10.65
For several years, members of the powerful five-piece As Human (originally named Kilo) had been intersecting paths, performing together in various smaller incarnations as part of Philadelphia's humble yet robust, eclectic improv scene. Along the way, they had individually amassed an impressive list of cohorts such as John Medeski (MMW), Billy Martin (MMW), Bobby McFerrin, Matisyahu, Dave Dreiwitz and Andrew Weiss (Ween), Skerik and Mike Dillon (Critters Buggin, Les Claypool), Bernie Worrell (P. Funk, Talking Heads) and King Britt. Since converging efforts in the summer of 2006, As Human has fused a genre-bending sound typified by soaring, instrument-like vocals, sonically adventurous cascading guitars, muscular, sound-manipulated upright bass and lively, song-oriented drums. While As Human's live shows draw from an unbridled organic synergy (many times containing more instantly-improvised creations than actual album cuts), their first studio effort "Kilo" displays crafty, focused arrangements and a detailed, virtually impeccable production. Rising from the abyss of wind tunnel meets twisted-carousel murkiness, the opening track "As Hwuman" evolves into the tightest and most carefully formed arrangement on the album. The track represents some of the finer elements of As Human, shifting wide-varying moods and smoothly traversing subtle tempo changes before settling on a gorgeous half-time recap in which a final apt lyric echoes "beau-ti-ful". Tracks like "Pining" with it's angular punk, "Spiral" with it's catchy odd-meter bounce or "Obsession" with it's hypnotic hop give the impression that As Human delights in challenging the listener with an ever-expanding definition of their elusive sound. Those that survive this initial stylistic enigma will most likely find themselves sussing out the particulars via their favorite listening medium for days thereafter. With sweeping sonic explorations and lush, immaculate production, "Kilo" marks an ambitious first offering doing all it needs to intrigue and nothing in the way of answering "What the hell do you call ...
