Al Stewart 24 Carrots CD (1980) Bonus Tracks

Snafu/Situation Normal album

$10.45

"Here In Angola," "Pandora," and "Indian Summer" were originally released on the LP INDIAN SUMMER. 24 CARROTS is folk-rocker Al Stewart's 1980 album, recorded with Shot in the Dark. This reissue features five bonus tracks, "Here in Angola", "Indian Summer", "Pandora", "Delia's Gone", and "Princess Olivia". The pun of the title of 24 Carrots -- the first overt signal of humor Al Stewart has displayed in years, possibly ever -- illustrates that a lot has changed since 1978's Time Passages. The loosening of his wit is perhaps the most evident, but the most significant is the departure ...

David CD (1968)

Snafu/Situation Normal album

$11.59

The sole album from six-man-and-a-woman Canadian band David is one of those wonderful, flawed surprises from the era, an overreaching blend of orchestral, soft pop with light psychedelic and soul touches that doesn't quite come together, but is full of exquisite music nonetheless. The intraband songwriting, the majority of it by Ted Grimes, is a mixed lot of varying caliber, but the finest songs -- and those make up at least half the album -- are truly stellar. The two Francis Webster contributions are highlights. "Never Been in Love" is a moody, psych-tinged folk-rock beauty, gorgeously produced and featuring stunning, ethereal harmonies that descend into quasi-medieval gothic chants and are goose pimple-inducing when they mix with the track's prominent trumpet. His "Cup of Tea" is a romantic, country-picked tin pan alley tune that sounds not unlike Paul McCartney's most sentimental, show tuney acoustic efforts. David never outright falters, but their writing does at times lapse into prosaic melodies, as on "Lovely Lady," a ballad as faceless as its title. At other times the results are merely quaint ("Flight of the Egyptian Army," a fine "Peter Gunn"-style instrumental that, nevertheless, is not nearly as esoteric as the title implies) or, on one occasion, simply embarrassing. "Because I'm Black," while musically a lovely piece of swaying pop/rock, bites off more than it can digest lyrically. It is admirable as social commentary, but the premise -- a black child confusedly questioning the racist mentality -- is ridiculous coming from a lily-white septet. Then again, it's not quite as ridiculous as it first seems. One of the most fascinating traits of the album is the completeness with which horns are incorporated into the arrangements on songs like the whimsical "Little Boys" and the sensational "Descension," a trippy slice of psychedelically inclined pop that brings to mind both the Vejtables and Left Banke, and pre-dates the sound of Chicago by more than a year. Other rock combos like Blood, Sweat & Tears and Love were experimenting with horns at around the same time, and even beforehand, but brass actually comprised an essential part of David's repertoire, somewhat novel for 1968. The primary inspiration seems to have come from American soul music, especially if the last two songs on the album are any indicators. The loopy "Alvin J. Ashtray," with its deep-groove bassline and a fine lead vocal from Deborah Kelly, and the sweet duet "Take My Hand" actually predict, convincingly, the funky urban soul of the early '70s -- a shock considering the ...
