(1 Customer Review)
Carl Stephenson, the co-conspirator with Beck on that artist's MELLOW GOLD album, is heard on this set of intelligent pop in his Forest For The Trees incarnation.
A sympathizer might call Forest for the Trees a psychedelic album, but a detractor would probably resort to the term "total mess." Forest for the Trees tries to be everything at once and ends up being nothing at all, pleasing only those who favor "interesting in theory" collage-oriented music over some semblance of catchy songs. In this album, he mixes harmonica, drum machine beats, "heavy metal" guitar, bagpipes, female backup singers, and raps into one big stew. Sure, Stephenson tries to turn Forest for the Trees into a wild party, but instead he has constructed a panel discussion full of hip in-jokes and goofy concepts that fall flat. ~ Kembrew McLeod
1997 release, unavailable domestically. Forest for the Trees is the brainchild of Carl Stephenson, the co-writer/producer of Beck's ''Loser'' single, as well as much of Beck's DGC full-length debut, Mellow Gold. Dreamworks.

Forest For The Trees album
$9.99 Black Eyed Peas, the hip-hop crossover juggernaut that propelled singer Fergie and producer Will.I.Am to superstardom, have, since 2003's ELEPHUNK, been audaciously plugging away at their bombastic but lighthearted style of rap-cum-dance pop--an effort that has translated to a run of successful chart-topping singles including "My Humps," "Pump It," and "Don't Phunk with My Heart." Eager to follow up on the platinum-selling success of 2005's MONKEY BUSINESS, Black Eyed Peas have returned with THE E.N.D. (an acronym for "Energy Never Dies"), their third studio effort. Combining Will.I.Am's thumping 808 kick drum-infused beats with production assistance from a host of collaborators (including vocoder-loving Torontoians MSTRKRFT and French house veteran David Guetta), BEP's infectious party-time rhymes are an easy match for the album's Ed Banger-style of electro rapping and Auto Tune jamming, especially ...
| | Anthony Hamilton Point Of It All CD (2008)
Forest For The Trees CD music
$8.99 Not simply a crooner with a great voice, Anthony Hamilton is also a multi-talented songwriter, arranger, and producer in the tradition of visionary, self-directed artists like Donny Hathaway, Bill Withers, and Curtis Mayfield. THE POINT OF IT ALL is the North Carolina native's fourth proper full-length and it finds Hamilton comfortably ensconced in the same blend of organic instrumental textures, preprogrammed drum loops, and warm `70s soul signifiers that served him so well on 2005's AIN'T NOBODY WORRYIN'. The album's lead single, "Cool," is propelled by a deep bass-drum thump, supplemented by bright guitar arpeggios, an understated Fender Rhodes ...

| | Very Best Of Otis Redding CD (1992)
Forest For The Trees songs
$7.79 It is impossible to overrate Otis Redding. This Rhino compilation, while in no way comprehensive, is nonetheless an outstanding sampler of songs by one of soul music's all-time titans. There's not a dud among these 16 songs, and some, like "These Arms Of Mine," "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay," and "Try A Little Tenderness," rank among the greatest pop songs ever recorded.
Redding's performances are mesmerizing and seem to embody the perfect balance between acute sensitivity and sheer overwhelming emotional strength. The combination of Redding's magnetism and the quality of such songs as "Mr. Pitiful," "I Can't ...
| | 2 Live Crew As Nasty As They Wanna Be CD (1989)
Forest For The Trees album
$13.39 With its 1989 landmark album, 2 Live Crew practically single-handedly created the CD parental advisory seal and irreversibly changed the hip-hop landscape. Long before AS NASTY AS THEY WANNA BE, 2 Live Crew were drawing lawsuits and boycotts, and within the opening minute of "Me So Horny," the opening track and single, the group made it clear that, far from backing down, they were ready to push the envelope even further. Like FULL METAL JACKET, the Kubrick film from which it gets its name and central sample, the song is a massive frontal assault, a flurry of sexuality backed by an unforgettable beat. The song improbably broke into the US top 40, the album sold millions, record store clerks were arrested, an indecency case made it just shy of the Supreme Court, and a legend was born. As for ...

Forest For The Trees music CDs
$13.19 Philadelphia R&B, '70s Chicago soul, and '60s folk-rock harmony meet East Los Angeles on this volume, covering the '50s through the '70s. The Delfonics' "Didn't I Blow Your Mind" shares space with the Premiers' "Duffy's Blues," and a couple of generations of R&B and soul rub shoulders with them. Billy Stewart ("Do I Love You"), the Moonglows ("Sincerely"), the Mello-Kings ("Tonite, Tonite"), the Shells ("Baby Oh Baby") and Eddie Holman ("Hey There Lonely Girl") are all here, representing 15 years of great music. The mix is surprisingly compelling, considering the divergence of styles and periods, the Casinos' 1967 Association-style cover of John D. Loudermilk's "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" alongside Holman's falsetto-textured "Hey There Lonely Girl" and the Elgins' 1966 Motown debut "Darlin' Baby." It's hard to tell the meaning or the links ...
