| | Jeff Saphin This CD Jeff Saphin Discography of CDs
Saphin"...gorgiously pansified mystic floating-in-a-tin-can wispiness that really, really rocks...The Village VoiceSaphin's debut album "this", was released to critical acclaim on the independent label Parallel World, at which time he was simultaneously picked up and signed for development by Warner Brothers Records. On the internet Jeff's website, Saphinscape, is a frequently visited presence (at a about 20,000 hits per month) it's even been awarded "Site of the Month" by BowieNet who said: 'The headquarters for Jeff Saphin's avant garde musical creationism is a multimedia bonanza. Step into his world and pucker up for some cybercosmic love. We'll leave the rest to you. Now get to goin' already! If the Bowie camp is calling Saphin "avante garde", well...To add even more to the mix, in the early 90's Saphin had the privilege of learning what he calls 'essential basic production skills' from world renowned Record Producer Tony Visconti. Lately Jeff has been putting the finishing touches on his next 'official' release "Saphin is: Tim esSquare starring in, "Time of the Signs"", Which Jeff calls a "Multidimensional open ended concept record, but don't get scared" says saphin, "It's peppered with Pop" . "...Time of the Signs" has already started to attract unsolicited nods of approval from the underground/internet community, hows this? "... taken song by song, his focus doesn't obscure the quality of the pop songwriting. And while the totality of his grandiose statement is ultimately hard to pin down, Saphin is largely successful in communicating his sense of uneasiness for the future and his penchant for dazzling melodies." (Matt Fink/Delusions of Adequacy)Saphin is now gearing up for his next array of highly theatrical/spiritually infused, Euro based outragiously surreal performances....

This
$11.35 NIGHT CASTLE appears just in time for the big 2009 holiday season but don't be fooled: this isn't a Christmas album, even if it's sonically indistinguishable from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other seasonal releases, and the fact that it's been dubbed "Capra-esque" certainly brings it within the realm of the season. NIGHT CASTLE brims with all the drama, pomp, and circumstance of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's ...

| | Michael Buble Crazy Love CD (2009)
This
$14.49 Buoyed by the popularity of the hit contemporary pop ballad "Home," singer Michael Bublé's 2005 album, IT'S TIME, clearly positioned the vocalist as the preeminent neo-crooner of his generation. Easily the singer's most stylistically wide-ranging album so far, 2009's CRAZY LOVE is also one of his brightest, poppiest, and most fun. Bublé kicks things off with the theatrical, epic ballad "Cry Me a River" and proceeds to milk the tune with burnished breath, eking out the drama line by line. It's over the top for sure, but Bublé takes you to the edge of the cliff, prepares to jump, and then gives you a knowing wink that says, not quite yet -- there's more fun to be had. And what fun it is with Bublé swinging through "All of Me," and killin' Van Morrison's classic "Crazy Love" with a light and yearning touch. And just as "Home" worked to showcase Bublé's own writing abilities, here we get the sunshine pop of "Haven't Met You Yet" -- a skippy, jaunty little song that brings to mind a mix of the Carpenters ...
| | Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)
This
$12.85 After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque cover to its joyous backing vocals. Apart from the breakneck "Must Be Santa," which barrelhouses like a barroom, Dylan doesn't really reinterpret these songs as much as simply play them with his crackerjack road band, dropping in a little flair -- restoring "we'll have to muddle through somehow" to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," singing the opening of "O Come All Ye Faithful" in its original Latin -- but never pushing tunes in unexpected directions. Many would argue having Dylan ...
| | Pink Martini Splendor In The Grass CD (2009) Digipak
This
$13.39 Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward lounge-pop of their debut, SYMPATHIQUE, and the mellowness of '60s and '70s pop. SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS' first half is especially smooth, opening with the beautifully soft Neapolitan ballad "Ninna Nanna" and the title track, on which Forbes sings "I think we should take it slow" over swooping strings, brass, and piano that resurrect the glory days of AM pop; that feeling is echoed by the cover of Joe Raposo's "Sing," the Sesame Street song that gained popularity when the Carpenters performed it (Emilio Delgado, aka Sesame Street's Luis, duets with Forbes here in Spanish and English). The album's first few tracks are among its most playful, including the slinky yet winking "Ohayoo Ohio" and the French confection "Ou Est Ma Tete?" ...
| | Bad Lieutenant Never Cry Another Tear CD (2009)
This
$8.79 With Peter Hook's departure in 2007, prospects for new material from New Order were looking increasingly dim, so the surprisingly workmanlike Bernard Sumner formed Bad Lieutenant to record his new songs. Sumner looked for help to various sources: latter-day New Order keyboardist Phil Cunningham; bassist Tom Chapman; a young Manchester head named Jake Evans for guitar, vocals, and a little songwriting; plus, on a few tracks, bassist Alex James of Blur and New Order drummer Stephen Morris. Sumner can't help but recall New Order as soon as he puts pen to paper or opens his ...

This
$12.15 "It came to me in a vision," says the aptly green-haired lead singer/guitarist Curtis Grubb of Grasshopper Takeover when asked how the name of the electrifying pop-rock trio came to be. After a near-fatal accident while hunting pheasant on the expansive plains of his home state of Nebraska, Grubb says, "I just lay there with this insane ringing in my ears, afraid to open my eyes, thinking I would just see whiteness. When I finally opened my eyes, the entire sky was filled with a swarming, amorphous blackness, and then I lost consciousness. The only thing I remember thinking was that grasshoppers had taken over."Add Bob Boyce shredding the skins, and the smooth mastery of his instrument by bassist James McMann, and the Nebraska-native three-piece rock trio has definitely taken over the underground unsigned music scene across the country and show no signs of letting up.In 1996, Grubb and Boyce could be found playing any number of clubs and bars scattered throughout the Midwest as part of The Kind, the granola darlings of the hippie-funk gamut from Chicago to Denver. When the band called it quits a year later fans felt rejected and let their disappointment be known. Grubb and Boyce stuck together and laid low for some months writing and rocking until they were introduced to McMann, arguably the best amateur bassist in the nation and "a cross between Flea and James Dean" who completed the trio.A bit jaded, in hermitage and under pressure from fans, the three worked together until the end of 1996, and then after much anticipation, played their first live show together as Grasshopper Takeover in January of 1997. What had resulted from their time off was an ejaculation of raucous-filled, yet poignant lyrics under heavy guitar, even heavier drums, and the jammin' versatility of McMann's bass. Any thoughts that the band would assume their old positions as experimental pychadelicians were immediately liquidated - this was rock... pure, melodic, loud, in-your-face-but-not-tearing-the-skin-off-it rock.The self-titled 1997 CD came only 7 months later. The larval stage completed, the Takeover had begun. A year later, the band released Gaia, toned down their hard-rock inclinations, tapped into their formative '70s and '80s pop-music years, found a lighter side in their lyrics, and tightened it all up.The outcome was a huge success, and the matured, more well-rounded Grasshopper was ready to fly. In August of 1998, having conquered the Midwest to its maximum threshold, twice, the boys packed up their infamous tour-van --"Ol Redd", "Big Redd", "The Sin Bin," or "That big 'ol red piece of shit over there", as it was affectionately called -- and headed to L.A., wary but faithful ...

$10.15 If you’re looking for a ride full of energy, determination and heavy metal, lend your ears to Worcester’stightest metal band, Hated.In the summer of 2003, guitarist Russ Wyman and drummer Jesse Sargent laid down the foundation for agroup comprised of musicians with experience and the common goal to rock the city. After collaboratingfor 6 months, Russ and Jesse seriously sought after the perfect singer and bassist to compliment their solidmetal riffs, raw emotion and ear bleeding style of drumming. One of the missing pieces finally came whenBill Shultz, longtime friend and singer, joined the band in January of 2004. Then called Trendkill, it wasn’tuntil early 2005 when a bassist, Chris Gill, joined and clicked with the rest of the band. With the new nameHated and Chris, a graduate of Northeastern University, they took Chris’s music industry degree and pureenthusiasm to round out the pack. With nothing standing in their way, Hated began playing shows all overthe city from private parties, the annual Lucky Dog Music Hall Barbecue and Battle of the Bands at Jilliansto showcase their talents and build their fan base. The past year and a half, the band has played a largenumber of shows throughout New England with some show openers for national acts such as, ShootyzGroove, Metal Church and Powerman 5000. The long awaited EP is set to be released in the winter of2007. From there, Hated will continue doing what they do best, ...
