| | Charles Mingus Pithecanthropus Erectus CD Charles Mingus Discography of CDs
The landmark album from Mingus' formative period and some of the freshest, most exciting jazz ever recorded.

Superb contributions from alto saxophonist Jackie McLean, tenor saxophonist J.R. Monterose, pianist Mal Waldron, and several others. Raucous, thunderous, pathbreaking music.

Pithecanthropus Erectus album
$11.69 Recorded in New York on January 20, 1963. Includes liner notes by Charles Mingus and Dr. Edmund Pollock.
Like his idol Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus wrote ambitious, complex works using the jazz ensemble with the exactitude and tonal sensitivity of a classical composer, while keeping the rhythmic vibrancy and improvisational heart of jazz beating fiercely. THE BLACK SAINT AND THE SINNER LADY is the apotheosis of Mingus's vision as a composer, and stands so far beyond the mainstream jazz of the day--in scope and execution--that it deserves its own category. A six-part self-described ballet, the album is packed with themes, motifs, and a polyphony of instrumental ...

Pithecanthropus Erectus music CDs
$15.74  Marking the first true sequel in Squaresoft's popular RPG series, the story of Final Fantasy X-2 picks up two years after the events that took place in Final Fantasy X. Following the young and powerful Summoner Yuna's quest to rid Spira of the destructive force known as Sin, the world enters into a period known as the "Eternal Calm".
During this moment of change, the people of Spira have shunned the once-sacred teachings of Yevon, and embraced the use of the formerly forbidden machina. While many of Spira's inhabitants are enjoying this time of peace, evidence of the High Summoner Yuna's lost love Tidus surfaces, prompting her to begin ...

| | Drowningman Rock And Roll Killing Machine CD (2000)
Pithecanthropus Erectus music CDs
$12.05 "Hardcore math-metal with a double side order of emo" would be a good start in describing this album, Drowningman's first full-length (or, at least, at 28 and a half minutes, their longest release to date). They combine the fast-paced controlled-chaos of bands like Converge and Dillinger Escape Plan with more of an emphasis on melody as well as -- gasp -- a sensitive side. That is, in addition to screaming his lungs out, vocalist Simon Brody also sings a good bit of the time, often sounding like he's about to break down in tears. His lyrics highlight the music's urgent, anthem-like tone, repeatedly using the words "tonight" and "we" (e.g., "Tonight we're ...
| | Catatonia Paper Scissors Stone CD (2001) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Japan
Pithecanthropus Erectus songs
$22.85 This full-length release by Welsh indie rockers Catatonia includes "Godspeed," "Of Misogyny," and "Shore Leave."
For awhile there, Catatonia sounded novel and fresh in the middle of a British music scene warped on maudlin self-respect but, now that they've gone and suffered through their own euphemistically-tinged bouts of exhaustion and pop star rehabilitation, the rot has set in. With its sobered, Veruca Salt-style drift and gospel-orchestrated ill assessments, Paper Scissors Stone is, more than anything else, a warning against ever misunderstanding what it means ...
| | Yusef Lateef Hush 'N' Thunder CD (1973)
Pithecanthropus Erectus album
$9.95 Recorded four years after Detroit, Yusef Lateef's Hush 'N' Thunder is a restless, wildly varied set, focusing on two aspects of his composing and playing methodology that have usually been showcased separately -- at least on his records. One is his R&B background, which comes off with a serious, down-home relativism that echoes both the Deep South of his upbringing and the mores trident big city versions of Chicago, Detroit, and New York. The other aspect of Lateef's musical character this album explores is his complex gift for melodic and chromatic arrangement. Lateef's penchant for compelling and unusual modal and melodic schematics as a composer is well-documented on his Prestige and Impulse sides, but has never been realized in setting where he played other people's music (he composed only one track here). Here, with the help of musicians as diverse ...
