After the success of PASSION & WARFARE, Steve Vai fed his creative hunger by collaborating with a lineup of exceptional musicians. Released on Relativity/Epic Records, SEX & RELIGION features master drummer Terry Bozzio, Shocka Zooloo bassist T.M. Stevens, and early vocal efforts from Strapping Young Lad's Devin Townsend. Bozzio and Stevens provide an impressive rhythmic foundation with Townsend's charismatic banshee-like dynamics complementing Vai's brilliant melodic contour. Despite creative differences during its creation that resulted in a short life for the all-star super group, SEX & RELIGION still offers entertaining songs about the human soul's desire for love and contentment in the face of despair.

Musician (8/93, p.54) - "...the guitarist does indeed seem capable of summoning light without heat...a churning, propulsive, unpredictable kind of highbrow hardcore, with a crafty pop overlay and a liquid-cherry center of post-adolescent angst and rebellion...[vocalist Devon Townsend] makes Axl Rose sound like Johnny Mathis... Audio Magazine (11/93, p.105) - "...Vai's legendary axe dexterity is kept more within song contexts than expected, though `accessibility' doesn't diminish the soloing or intellect...." Steve Vai Sex & Religion Songs Sex & Religion Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   The band experience of Steve Vai Amazing. Right after the critically acclaimed Passion And Warfare record, Steve turned towards the concept of a band. (Originally LWH - Light Without Heat). Sex And Religion is the ultimate record: Vai commands the whole thing, T.M. Stevens provides uberbass, Terry Bozzio... well... the AMAZING Terry shows us something incredible, and Devin Townsend makes a perfect appearance. He is the core of this heavy sounding brilliance. And Steve's guitar work is beyond perfect (is that possible?). Check out the last track, Rescue Me Or Bury Me, and you'll see. Submitted by vintagebreed (London, UK) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
All-Star Line-up No doubt that Steve Vai can sand on his own. Now with his all-star line-up, things have become much more interesting. You see the world through more than one set of eyes.
The musicianship is great. Terry is a phenom on the drums. Good hooks. If you like Vai, this is a pleasant and different addition to the collection. Submitted by a reviewer (Palm Beach, FL) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Sex & Religion music CDs
$9.29 For his tenth full-length album, Playin' Favourites, British smooth jazz giant Peter White decided to, as the title suggests, turn to some of his favorite tracks from the '60s, '70s, and '80s, giving each of them his own interpretation (he did a similar thing in 1994's Reflections). Working with longtime producer Paul Brown, as well ...

Sex & Religion CD music
$15.89 GERSHWIN'S WORLD won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual Or Group. "St. Louis Blues" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocal(s).
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
The epitome of a 20th Century musician, Herbie Hancock has always traversed wildly divergent stylistic paths, finding his way easily into jazz, funk, fusion, dance-pop and more. His ability to make valid individual statements in all these genres is part of what makes his compositions and performances so rich. So it doesn't seem at all incongrous ...
| | Chet Trumpet Baker On A Misty Night CD (1996)
Sex & Religion music CDs
$9.65 Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1996, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
In August of 1965 Chet Baker spent a three-day marathon in a studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, recording material as a quintet for Prestige Records, that resulted in five fine albums. Tracks from the fourth album, COOL BURNIN', and the fifth, BOPPIN', are compiled into this release--the third in a series of three CD reissues of these sessions. The outstanding quintet includes the tenor saxophonist George Coleman, who was part of the Miles Davis Quintet. His ...
| | Rosemary Clooney Come On-A My House CDs (1997) (Import) Box Set; Germany
Sex & Religion songs
$219.89 The first of three Bear Family sets of Clooney's complete recordings is uneven stylistically, although a big percentage of it is first-rate. The problem is that Clooney's career from 1947-54 at Columbia Records was divided between sultry, jazz-based big band and popular music, and light novelty tunes of the kind that drove Sinatra away from the label. A big part of this set is built principally around those novelty songs, which Clooney was forced to record. Additionally, due to its chronological sequencing, it opens up with the most dubious of Clooney's novelty numbers, the Tony Pastor & The Clooney Sisters (Rosemary and Betty) pre-Columbia recordings. Pastor was more of a novelty performer than a serious vocalist, so their recordings together, which comprise most of the first disc, are something of an acquired taste. Those songs are followed by her introduction to Columbia Records; there are some hauntingly beautiful numbers interspersed between too many novelty tunes (with Pastor playing too large a part in much of it). Disc Two closes out the Clooney Sisters' career and the Tony Pastor sides -- even the lesser of these numbers is worthwhile, as they display a robust big-band pop sound that was rapidly disappearing. Once Clooney's own solo singing career starts, the level of interest picks up considerably -- her undiluted voice shows a simmering talent coming to a boil right in front of one's ears. Disc Three is weighted down with some less-than-impressive duets teaming Clooney with Guy Mitchell, but is also sparked by her early career masterpieces, "The Lady Is a Tramp" and "I'll Be Around." Then there is "Come On-A My House," which outsold everything Clooney had ever done before. Disc Four is highlighted by the complete Rosemary Clooney-Marlene Dietrich sessions, which were about as perfect a team-up in terms of wryly ...
| | Queen Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 CD (2000) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Japan
Sex & Religion album
$41.75 Additional personnel includes: George Michael, David Bowie, Montserrat Caballe, Elton John.
Not so much a traditional greatest-hits album in the style of the first two volumes in the series, Queen's GREATEST HITS III is more of a collection of rarities, remixes, and under-appreciated album tracks. There's only one actual chart hit in these 17 cuts, the version of "Somebody To Love" recorded at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert at Wembley Stadium with George Michael on lead vocals. Other songs with guest singers include Elton John's take on "The Show Must Go On" and an interesting remix of "Another One Bites the Dust" with guest raps by Wyclef Jean.
Besides that, there are three solo tracks by Mercury and one by Brian May, plus about a third of the final Queen album, MADE IN HEAVEN. Highlights include the previously rare holiday single "Thank God It's Christmas" and Queen's final recording, the tributary "No One But You (Only the Good Die Young)," recorded by the three remaining members of Queen for a charity single in the wake of Princess Diana's death. This disc was later included in its entirety as part of the three-disc box set THE PLATINUM COLLECTION: GREATEST HITS I, II, and III.
Not to be confused with 1981's GREATEST HITS, 1992's CLASSIC QUEEN, or ...
