 (1 Customer Review)
NO MYSTERY (1975) sees Return to Forever experimenting with funk and heavy-hitting rock. "Sofistifunk" is a great example of the former. On this track, drummer Lenny White lays down a fat dance groove. However, to offset this, keyboardist Chick Corea and guitarist Al DiMeola create an abstract musical dialogue between synthesizers and fuzz guitar.
"Excerpt from the First Movement of Heavy Metal" is the best example of the band's explorative, hard-rocking side. This piece opens and closes with a tongue-in-cheek "classical" piano introduction. In between, DiMeola, White, and bassist Stanley Clarke engage in an over-the-top, no-holds-barred jam. The title track is the jazziest of all the songs here. This sensitive, Latin-influenced composition contains many beautiful passages as well as a number of sudden melodic deviations. Overall, this piece really shows off Corea's distinctive compositional style, which borrows not only from Cuban music and post-bop jazz, but also from the Spanish guitar tradition. Certainly, DiMeola--who is known for his love of flamenco music--had an influence on this musical direction as well.

primitive HOPES and MURDEROUS insticts on a lost COAST.-----------------:::FROM some early reviews of FURY TOWN:::-----------------(my best Italian translation)"the third album of his "skewed musical design" that, personally, I see as a nice soundtrack for a horror psychobilly-gangster story from the '40s: try to think of "Once Upon a Time in America" by Sergio Leone, but in place of J. Woods and R. de Niro are two zombies" "an album to listen to in pin stripes with a sawed-off shotgun ready."--Mr. Moonlight, ERBA DELLA STREGA(WWW.ERBADELLASTREGA.IT)"resplendent with hollered vocals, seasick tempos and cheap liqueur. (probably)"""Good Advice" is a persuasive song, with a creepy undertow. Wagner has cast himself as sly seducer and devil's advocate at once. Musically it proves that psychobilly isn't dead, it just smells very odd."""Bordello Song" lives up to its title, and is sleazy as hell, with saloon piano and a perverted vocal. Wagner's a twisted kind of genius."--Anna Maria Stjarnell, LUNA KAFE (WWW.LUNAKAFE.COM)"Probably the easiest way to get a grasp on Tunnel of Love's eccentric sound is to imagine the Cramps, only obsessed with trashy pop and obscure film ...

No Mystery songs
$11.39
Some jazz musicians -- certainly not all jazz musicians, but some jazz musicians -- can be very stereotypical jazz snobs (the sort of folks who refuse to see the value in any music other than jazz and wouldn't know Joan Jett from Joan Baez or Mary J. Blige from Mary Chapin Carpenter). But trombonist/bandleader/arranger Wayne Wallace is a jazz musician with a more broad-minded outlook, which serves him nicely on The Reckless Search for Beauty. This is a jazz-oriented disc that gets ...
| | Jon Braman Climatastrophunk CD (2007)
No Mystery album
$16.45
Dubbed the 'father of ukulele hip hop' by the Washington City Paper in 2006, Jon Braman is a rapper-songwriter with a story to tell. Jon's music gives people something they don't quite expect, but are surprised to immediately dig. Folkies and indie rockers vibe with the living-room aesthetic, hip hop heads and poets get hooked on the flow, and no one expects a ukulele to provide such driving, even danceable accompaniment. Jon isn't trying to be weird, just doing what he can't stop doing: writing and performing songs. It just happens that his sound of choice is an organic funk centered around a baritone ukulele he found in the garbage, and his delivery of choice is a flow of of rhymes about growing up, love, injustice, and eco-cataclysm. As a recent review on NBC4 put it, 'Imagine Outkast had a baby, and it was Jimmy Buffet.''Sprouting Daisies out of My Hair,' Braman's first album, was recorded in a few hours in a friend's living room while Jon was still working as a grassroots student organizer. It's a spare sound, just ukulele and vocals, with a flood of lyrics and catchy hooks over the top. The last two years have seen Jon performing at clubs, bars, rallies, living rooms, bookstores and colleges in DC, New York, Virginia, Maryland, Boston, Hawaii, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, North Carolina, Connecticut, Philadelphia and Minnesota. In the summer of 2006 Jon and his wife, Lisette, shot a music video for the song 'Guru', an archetypical romantic journey through real world DC, until Jon and his ukulele slide through a magic picture frame. On the just-released 'Climatastrophunk' album, Jon begins to put some meat on the bones of the style, the ukulele joining forces with beatbox, bass, layered harmonies, funk-flamenco guitar, trumpet, mbira, mandolin, even sousaphone, The songs are propelled always by Jon's catchy melodic drive, and rhymes that give up new gems with every listen. And the eco-political stance remain unflinching - nowhere more so than in 'The Weather,' a rainforest meets southern-rap meets sunny rock-and-roll ditty about climate change, produced by Tim Bright (Lisa Loeb, Toshi Reagan). First reviews:From the "Washington City Paper":Standout Track: No. 2, 'The Weather,' which grafts hip-hop production to Jon Braman's ukulele-plucking and rapping. His spitfire verses indict FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina ('Keep saying, 'We'll adapt,' but it's crap because you can't evac'), American ...
