$15.19 
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Listening to the music of Ennio Morricone is a joy for any music lover. Listening to his music as played by Yo-Yo Ma borders on the sublime. Morricone is an iconic film composer, a master melodist whose unique scores are characterized by his bold use of unusual musical techniques, sounds, and textures. The term "spaghetti western" would have less significance without his distinctive contributions. Yo-Yo Ma is a musician in a class by himself. ...

In his series of albums for Cold Blue, Chas Smith has never been a hard hitter -- Nikko Wolverine had its somewhat harsher moments, but that's all. With Descent, he suddenly moves even deeper into soundscaping, straight across the new age border. An Hour Out of Desert Center, a pedal steel guitar affair, already hinted at that direction. This time, though, the metallic sound sculptures are back, but the music remains aerial, evanescent, and slightly shapeless. There is no way to differentiate the sounds of the Copper Box and those of the Guitarzilla, or the steel guitar for that matter. Everything is meshed into a multi-layered soundscape that evokes electronics much more than metallics. The album consists of three pieces, ten to 20 minutes in duration. "Descent" prominently features jet planes, giving the title all its meaning and the piece a certain disquieting feel. The contrast between the invasive rush of jet engines and the otherwise delicate sound textures ...

"A wonderful gem! This incredibly well put together album is a triumph start to finish."Daniel Bristow - Cluas.comDIGIPACK CD"To be interested in Satie one must be disinterested to begin with, accept that a sound is a sound and a man is a man, give up illusions about ideas of order, expressions of sentiment, and all the rest of our inherited aesthetic claptrap. It is not a question of Satie's relevance. He's indispensable." (John Cage) ERIK SATIEAlfred Eric Leslie Satie was born on May 17th 1866 at Honfleur(France. He began his musical studies as an organist at the Paris Conservatory with Lavignac. In 1888 he composed three Gymnopédies, inspired by a poetry reading by his friend J. P. Contamine de Latour. The hypnotic allure of these compositions had its roots from in dances performed by youths during an ancient ritual celebration. The next year, seduced by the Romanian popular music and Indonesian Gamelan he had heard at the Great Exhibition in Paris, he started working on Gnossiennes. In 1891 he met Debussy who became his friend until 1916 when a misunderstanding led to a break-up that would never be reconciled. That same year he met Sar Jospehin Peladin, Grand Maestro of the Aesthetic Order of the Catholic Rosae Crucis of the Temple of the Grail. Satie became his follower and was made Master of the Chapel. His compatriot and friend, the humorist Alphonse Allais, then gave him the nickname Esotérik Satie. Among the several works he composed under the guidance of Sar Pedalan were Trois Préludes du "Fils des étoiles", le Sonneries de la Rose-Croix. In 1893, he composed the Danses gothiques.In these first works Satie was already using a freehand style with no bar lines, arranged chromatically around complex chord structures. In the score he would replace conventional directions such as "allegro", "piano con brio"... with his own invented terminology - "from the top of your back teeth", "do your best"... In 1896 he took up residence on the outskirts of Paris in a modest house with huge rooms - "I have many ideas to accommodate," - where he composed Pièces froides.He gave up all esoteric research and in 1900 began collaborating with the music-hall diva Paulette Darty. It was in this period that Satie immersed himself in café-concert and popular music. In 1905, tired of being considered little more than an amateur, and at odds with the musical academia, he enrolled for three years at the Schola Cantorum, where he studied counterpoint with Albert Roussel. In 1910 his music attracted the attention of Diaghilev, Picasso, Picabia, Ravel, Stravinsky and finally Cocteau with whom he became co-founder of the Les Six group. Fame, however, came with two important productions. In 1917 with Parade by Jean Cocteau and Picasso for the Russian Ballet. In 1924 the second ballet, Relache, with text and staging by Picabia, and the celebrated intermission film by René Clair (Entracte), opened in Paris to an uproar. Satie died as he had lived, poor but illustrious, surrounded by ...
