| | Plaid Not For Threes CD Plaid Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
As 2/3 of the magnificent Black Dog Productions, Ed Handley and Andy Turner heralded an age of lushly melodic electronic songcraft. The acrimonious fission of BDP produced Plaid and revived the dashed hopes of the duo's earlier brilliance. But, with only one (legendarily rare) album, a fistful of aliases and quiet production assignments, and a few singles in recent years, Plaid had the appearance of an elaborate tease.
If the gorgeous NOT FOR THREES is any indication, Plaid just didn't want to rush perfection. The album seems to be directed at those who would dismiss electronica as soulless music made "for machines, by machines." Plaid's music is bathed in the liquor of life and suffused with shafts of light. Seamlessly working in overlapped synthesized melodies, delicate live instrumentation, occasional voices, and funky, colorful beats, the album offers a textural tapestry of unparalleled lusciousness. "Kortisin," "Rakimou," and "Lilith" are nothing less than ambrosial. Mara, Benet, Bjork, and Nicolette (the latter two repaying old favors) trill like nectar-mad swallows. "Myopia" and "Ladyburst" go tropical without a whiff of exotica irony and beg to be nibbled at like wedges of juicy papaya. Total sensory inebriation-but please don't eat the CD.
Additional personnel includes: Bjork, Mara Carlyle, Leila Arab, Nicolette (vocals); Benet (guitar, violin); Coba (accordion).

| | Bobby Goldsboro Honey/Summer (The First Time) CD (1998) (Import) United Kingdom
Not For Threes music CDs
$18.79
This Beat Goes On release combines two of Bobby Goldsboro's United Artists LPs, most popular album (hooked around and named for his biggest hit) and his last one for the label, on one CD. Goldsboro's rendition of Bobby Russell's "Honey" tends to overwhelm anything with which it is juxtaposed, but he made a valiant effort to vary his sound on the album built around it -- thus, we get spritely, upbeat pop numbers like "Pardon Me Miss" and string-laden ballads like "Why Don't You Believe Me" (where he could be Jim Reeves surrounded by the Anita Kerr Singers), along with Goldsboro's rendition of Russell's most successful song, "Little Green Apples"; and youthful pop/rock such as "Pledge of Love" and "Love Arrestor"; and his version of Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." He did write five of the 11 songs there, however, and is able to hold his own reasonably well amid those better known composer names -- indeed, one of those songs, "With Pen in Hand," became his next-to-last hit ...

The third Captain Sky record never manages to achieve liftoff. While previous efforts balanced the Captain's shameless P-Funk cops with some propulsive grooves and widescreen arrangements, Concerned Party #1 simply goes through the motions, running on nothing but the vapors of a few witty puns (e.g., "Bubble Gum [I Chewz You]") and ...
