| | Brian Wilson Orange Crate Art CD Brian Wilson Discography of CDs
Written and produced by Parks, with all the vocals sung by Wilson, ORANGE CRATE ART is an aural landscape that evokes the California of bygone eras. Stunningly diverse, this majestic album finds Brian Wilson in amazingly fine and full voice, weaving complex harmonies around pop, calypso, samba and any other non-rock melange that suits Parks' composing fancy. The spectral lyrics conjure sweeping pastoral images, and the music is somehow both enigmatic and accessible. Standouts include the title track, the grandiose "Movies Is Magic," "On The Wings Of A Dove," and the breezy, fleeting "This Town Goes Down At Sunset."
Some 28 years after their initial, unreleased SMILE collaborations, Wilson and Parks have delivered a beautiful and challenging song-cycle that stands up to their artistic reputations.

Entertainment Weekly (12/1/95, p.74) - "...Pop innocence at its best on an album so sweet it's disarming." - Rating: A-
NME (Magazine) (11/25/95, p.47) - 8 (out of 10) - "...The music--which is superb throughout--is old, barbershop, orchestral; there's a beautiful sense of America before rock and roll here. The whole thing has a sort of sense of peaceful Pacific evening about it....an extraordinarily atmospheric record..." Brian Wilson Orange Crate Art Songs | 1. | Orange Crate Art | |

Orange Crate Art songs

Between 1967 and 2004, the SMILE sessions were pretty much the Dead Sea Scrolls of pop music. Well documented as head Beach Boy Brian Wilson's answer to the Beatles' masterpiece SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (which was itself largely an answer to the Beach Boys' PET SOUNDS), the tracks laid down in '67 for the projected SMILE album were the furthest afield anyone nominally operating under the pop/rock umbrella had ever ventured. Notoriously, intraband conflict (Mike Love, in particular, found the Wilson/Van Dyke Parks-penned conceptual work too far out) kept the record from being released. With several oceans' worth of water under the bridge, Wilson finally decided to finish the aborted project three-and-a-half decades later, adhering closely to the original blueprints. The results are as timelessly breathtaking as the original version must have been to the lucky few who first heard the initial tapes.
With sterling support from his backing band the Wondermints, Wilson meticulously pieced together ...

| | Hot Water Music Neverender CD (2004)
Orange Crate Art CD music
$14.75
A career-spanning compilation, 2004's Never Ender collects all the songs from the out of print Push for Coin CD-EP, two vinyl-only singles ("Alachua" and the outstanding "You Can Take the Boy Out of Bradenton") and Hot Water Music's contributions to four different split singles. Like many punk bands, Hot Water Music have always treated the single as one of the defining points of music, and therefore, Never Ender is less a collection of cast-offs than it is the sound of the band at their most focused and sure. The tag-team vocals of co-lead singers Chuck Ragan and Chris Wollard, as well as the standard-issue rhythm section, are entirely within the stylistic parameters of blue-collar post-hardcore, specifically of the Social Distortion variety: medium tempos, articulate lyrics about small-p political and personal issues, and a feel for good old-fashioned rock ...
| | Angus Lyon Simple Tracks CD (2003) Import
Orange Crate Art music CDs
$14.39
The duo of Angus Lyon and Ruaridh Campbell might be young, but don't equate age with a lack of ability. Lyon is a wizard on various accordions (just listen to his playing on "Barachois," where he flows wonderfully both in front and behind the melody), while Campbell is a gorgeously expressive fiddler. The bulk of the material springs from their own pens, heavily steeped in the Scots tradition, but still very individual, especially on the slower airs like "Joining of the Spirits," where Campbell's tone shines with Lyon supporting on piano. And they're ...
