 (2 Customer Reviews)
RECONCILED is one of the Call's finest albums. The band's previous outings had flashes of greatness, but were frequently inconsistent. It all came together here, though. Michael Been's passionate, emotive vocals, thundering bass, and skilled lyricism meshed with the hard-driving beat of drummer Scott Musick, the colorful keyboard work of Jim Goodwin, and the powerful riffs of guitarist Tom Ferrier to make RECONCILED a new wave classic.
Been's lyrics expertly walk the tightrope between personal and sociological politics, with an underlying sense of spirituality always present making for a fully realized worldview. "Everywhere I Go" could be mistaken for a love song, but seems more of a declaration of faith in God. "I Still Believe" makes no bones about its theme of spiritual commitment, while the angular, biting "Blood Red" is a scathing indictment of America's hypocritical foreign policy. The raging, transcendent "Oklahoma" takes things to another level entirely, with a mysterious, possibly allegorical account of supernatural happenings. RECONCILED stands as not only a fine Call album, but also one of the most impressive recordings of mid-'80s alternative rock.

Dean Wareham told Ice Magazine, "Generally speaking I don't like live albums, except for bands like Television and a few others. But having just made one I now know that you can capture all the live energy that's just about impossible to capture in the studio -- unless you're a band like AC/DC, that is." Despite his initial reservations, Luna Live is a hypnotic, bittersweet, transcendental pop masterpiece. It finds the band in great form at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., and also New York's Knitting Factory, and yet the presentation of the sound quality and the mastering are situated in such a way that it seems like one evening. Even a personnel change in the middle of the record goes almost unnoticed as the previous bass player Justin Harwood plays the middle seven tracks and his apt replacement Britta Phillips plays the front three and last four. Ten years of Luna are presented here by way of inspired presentations of songs from each of their studio efforts. Luna Live uses this material as a departure point, pulling out smart and inspired versions ...

OK, first thing's first -- this 30-song collection, drawn from Pee Wee King's RCA Victor library, doesn't rock as much as its title would lead one to believe or hope. On the other hand, the mere fact that Bear Family Records could assemble 30 reasonably stomping numbers, gathered from 11 years across King's output, from 1947 through 1958, to deliver a set that would promise anything like it speaks volumes about King and his output, and the flexibility of the Golden West Cowboys. And as a peripheral matter, it also says a lot about just how well rock & roll was accepted in a lot of unexpected quarters in the mid-'50s. To country artists like Pee Wee King (and, for that matter, Ernest Tubb, who was covering Chuck Berry tunes in 1956), it was just another kind of dance music, maybe better liked by his younger listeners, but in the main not too far removed from the Western swing that he'd been doing since the 1940s. So the version of "Blue Suede Shoes" that opens this CD and lends its name to the title may be the tamest rendition most of us have ever heard -- but was pretty hot for 1956, and it leads into rocking numbers like "Bull Fiddle Rag," "Steel Guitar Rag," "Forty-Nine Women," etc., none of which would have been wholly out-of-place in a rock & roll concert of the period; and King's rendition of "Tweedle Dee," like "Blue Suede Shoes," is a number with ...
| | From Bahia To The Sertoes: Brazil 1939-1955, Songs Of The Sea And The Land CDs (2006)
Reconciled music CDs
$31.29
(2-CD set) The musical culture of Brazil's Nordeste is quite distinct, and the two aspects are portrayed in this double album presented by Teca Calazans. The first disc is dedicated to Dorival Caymmi, the most illustrious artist from Salvador de Bahia. H
While stars like Garoto, Carmen Miranda, Jorge Ben, and Antonio Carlos Jobim may be credited in both developing and spreading Brazilian music around the globe, local heroes like Dorival Caymmi, Luiz Gonzaga, and Jackson do Pandeiro were just as beloved in their own country. From Bahia to the Sertoes: Brazil 1939-1955, Songs of the Sea and the Land, compiled and issued by French label Frémeaux & Associés, presents these lesser-known artists to the rest of the world. The first disc is completely comprised of music by Caymmi, a singer/songwriter from a coastal town in the northern province of Bahia who performs three types of pieces here: songs of the sea, sambas de roda (which relate to Bahia), and urban carioca-inspired sambas. The opener, "O Mar," is a lovely song full of Caymmi's deep, rich vocals ...
| | Now People Last Great 20th Century Love Affair CD (2006)
Reconciled songs
$12.65
To complain about a lack of originality of an album like The Last Great 20th Century Love Affair would be to miss the point to a fairly astonishing degree. The very concept of originality barely enters into the equation for Now People, a Los Angeles-based chamber pop quartet whose apparent goal isn't to further the stylistic boundaries of pop music, but to create a Platonic ideal of a certain stripe of soft pop from the past. The Zombies' Odessey and Oracle is an obvious touchstone, naturally, as is Love's Forever Changes minus the paranoia and drug-induced angst. (Pet Sounds, like the Beatles' influence on power pop, is so obvious a starting point that it barely even bears mentioning.) Now People's leader, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Steve Stanley, is an old hand at this stuff, having produced or annotated literally dozens of reissues of soft pop rarities, and co-contributors Alan Rubens, Probyn Gregory, and Nelson Bragg have similarly long résumés in the current L.A. pop underground. (Gregory and Bragg are also mainstays of Brian Wilson's current band.) The key to The Last Great 20th Century Love Affair is that Stanley and friends never get hung up on specific emulations of iconic AM pop gems: there ...
