| | Vangelis Voices CD Vangelis Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
Voices is a deep and engaging album from an e-music legend, Vangelis. This CD predates his regular use of symphony orchestras to augment his synths. His synths are, however, very symphonic. He creates broad atmospheres and dramatic soundscapes with synth hooks, chant vocals, and samples. Vangelis also adds some experimental textures and smooth melodies to cap his soundscapes. This is an exciting CD. Vangelis is in a league with few peers. In terms of stature and emotional response, this disc will appeal to fans of Enya and Yanni. ~ Jim Brenholts

Voices Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   The Voice of Vangelis
This is, from my opinion, the best Vangelis album after Conquest of Paradise. The music is simply extraordinary. Vangelis has demonstrated us once again that he is a genius. Not only that it's worthing every single cent, but it will also look very well in your CD collection. Buy it and you won't be dissapointed. I recommend this to every Vangelis fan.

"The Sound of Young Sacramento" doesn't have quite the same ring as the "The Sound of Young America" slogan at use in Motown during the 1960s. And the Bill Rase Recording Studio and Talent Center is not even a millionth as well known as Motown's studios. But like Motown, it recorded a good deal of music in the mid-1960s. Much of this was of local Sacramento rock bands, done with (even by standards of the time) primitive equipment, for singles that were intended as vanity pressings to sell at live shows or give to friends and family. This CD is a compilation of 30 such tracks from 1965-1967, all symptomatic of various facets of the American teen garage sound of the era. Now, this could not be said to be an authoritative overview of the mid-1960s Sacramento scene. There is nothing by the most well-known groups from the area (the New Breed, Kak, the Oxford Circle), "well-known" being a relative term as even those groups are all but unknown except to waist-deep-in-the-big-muddy '60s collectors. Even so, it can be said that if these sounds are an indicator, Sacramento was not an especially notable exponent of the garage sound, and indeed was a quite generic (if prolific) one. The main culprit, as also occurs on numerous other compilations of this sort? A paucity of quality original songwriting, combined with derivative arrangements and underdeveloped musical and instrumental skills. It's so-so garage music without a distinctive regional brand, although it does traverse the range of '60s teen rock, from elementary fuzzy bluesy rants to Zombies-ish beat ballads. The few cuts that stand out from the crowd a little are the Walking Flour's "I Want to Be Your Driver," which sounds a hell of a lot like they studied the Blues Project's first album inside out, and the Chelsea Sidecar's "Thinking of You," which strongly recalls the country-rock of the late 1964, early 1965 Beatles (in fact, it sounds a good deal like the Rutles' parody of that particular era, "It's Looking Good"). Some particularly weird second-handisms here are the Gallery Production's obscure Buffalo Springfield cover "Do I Have to Come Right Out and Say It," in which the group simply goes back and forth on two chords in the bridge instead of negotiating the subtle chord changes, and the Organized Confusion's "That I Love You," which inserts a snippet ...
| | Marian McPartland Silent Pool CD (1997)
Voices music CDs
$9.59
Rather than "Silent Pool," the Marian McPartland selection on this rather sleepy CD that best sums up the music is "Melancholy Mood." Long adept at writing harmonically sophisticated originals, pianist McPartland is featured on a dozen of her compositions with the backing of 20 strings, bassist Andy Simpkins and drummer Harold Jones. Alan Broadbent's string arrangements (a throwback in some ways to the mood music records of the 1950s) are lush, dreamy, always middle-of-the-road and sometimes dull. McPartland ...
| | Stan Kenton Live At Redlands University CD (1970)
Voices songs
$12.95
This double album is pretty definitive of Stan Kenton's later orchestras. Few of the musicians ever became even minor names; not counting veteran saxophonist Willie Maiden, trumpeters Mike Vax and Warren Gale, trombonist Dick Shearer and drummer John Von Ohlen are the only recognizable players. The arrangements are generally workmanlike and sometimes dramatic but rarely memorable (those of Bill Holman and Willie Maiden excepted) and the old favorite "Peanut Vendor" (here renamed "More Peanut Vendor") gets the most spirited performance. By ...

Although ELO's mid-'70s string of albums--ON THE THIRD DAY, ELDORADO, FACE THE MUSIC, A NEW WORLD RECORD, and OUT OF THE BLUE--are substantial efforts, filled with exciting, inventive music, ELO was known at the time and forever after as a world-class singles band. ELO'S GREATEST HITS 1973-1977, originally released in 1979, showcases this era magnificently. ...

| | Nylons One Size Fits All CD (1982) Import
Voices songs
$13.95
All songs written or co-written by members of The Nylons except "Silhouettes" (Slay/Crewe), "Town Without Pity" (Tiomkin/Washington), "Up The Ladder To The Roof" (Demarco) and "So Long" (Domino/Bartholomew).
The Nylons' performing career began in 1980 at a time when a cappella outfits were not in vogue. The fact that the Nylons were unlike any a cappella act on the scene made them stand out and earned them accolades and a devoted audience almost immediately. The band has existed in one form or another for 25 years, but it is the original quartet of Claude Morrison, Arnold Robinson, Paul Cooper, and Mark Connors that created their most beloved recordings. One Size Fits All, their second album, was released the same year as their debut, in 1982, and remains one of the finest modern a cappella albums released since the genre's heyday in the '50s. With production and arrangements provided by Peter Mann, the quartet steps out of the semi-restrictive constraints of a cappella and creates its own sound. On this outing, their strong voices blend together even more tightly than on their debut, and their performance is warm and soothing. Connors' treatment of "Town Without Pity" is stunning, breathing emotion and life into a song that hadn't ...
