South's wonderful debut seduces and lulls you into its world. The music sounds like the result of a bio-scientist's attempt to genetically engineer a cross between Steve Reich and The Incredible String Band. Gorgeous interlocking motives are lovingly performed on guitar, vibraphone, hammered dulcimer (and whatever else was lying around) to create an intriguing and beautiful "Reich and Roll." The spare "cream of consciousness" lyrics are sung by Patrick Phelan's barely-above-a-whisper voice. The interplay between the vocals and instruments just might remind you of Gentle Giant's prettier moments.
Songs unfold slowly, accents shift and keys and time signatures change gracefully. Amazingly enough, it sounds unpretentious, natural and relaxed. This is Minimalist-influenced pop: everything you always wanted in a band, and less.
Recorded at Sound Of Music, Richmond, Virgina in December 1997.
Personnel: Patrick Phelan (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards); Nathan Lambdin (guitar, keyboards, vibraphone); Peter Neff (dulcimer).
Audio Mixers: Nathan Lambdin; South; John Morand; Patrick Phelan.
Recording information: Sound Of Music, Richmond, VA (12/1997).

South album
 $8.79  
Though Dutch indie rockers Bettie Serveert wouldn't make a big splash on the alt-rock scene until their second album, the band's debut, PALOMINE established the template for their sound. As with much of their other work, PALOMINE is a study in contrasts. It alternates between brashly rocking and quietly reflective, sometimes within the same song. One of the most immediately striking things about the album is just how American these Hollanders sound. Echoes of the Velvet Underground, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, and Sonic Youth abound, ...
| | Tom Waits Blood Money CD (2002)
South CD music
$12.09  
Contains an untitled hidden track following "A Good Man Is Hard To Find".
Like the simultaneously released ALICE, BLOOD MONEY features songs written for a Robert Wilson play. That's pretty much where the similarity ends; unlike ALICE's moody balladry, BLOOD MONEY is full of crazed, rhythmic pieces of sonic barbed-wire. The lyrics portray the main character of Wilson's WOYZECK, a man filled with madness and rage. The combination of junkyard percussion, near-psychotic vocals, and lounge-band-from-hell tones provides the perfect complement. The outlook is an unremittingly dark one, eventually bypassing existentialism ("God's Away on Business") in favor of outright misanthropy (the aptly titled "Misery is the River of the World"). The brief, Raymond Scott-like instrumental "Knife Chase" is a madcap interlude that brings the glory days of SWORDFISHTROMBONES to mind. Despite the gusto with which Waits throws himself into all this craziness, a couple of sadly romantic ballads provide a brief respite from the ...
| | Rolling Stones Aftermath CD (1966)
South music CDs
$10.45
This is a Hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both Super Audio and regular CD players.
The Rolling Stones' first set of all-original material--a full two years after the Beatles had passed that milestone with A HARD DAY'S NIGHT--1966's AFTERMATH is arguably the Stones' first truly great album, as opposed to a selection of killer singles padded out with some forgettable filler. Not that the singles aren't killers; "Paint It Black" and "Under My Thumb" are two of the Stones' most inventive chart successes, their sitar and marimba touches showing that at least through 1966, the Stones were just as likely as the Beatles, Kinks or Who to release a single that sounded like nothing else on the radio.
Of the album tracks, "Lady Jane" and "Stupid Girl" are standouts, the former another of the boys' Elizabethan oddities and the latter a stomping, snotty garage rocker. Even better, though, are formal experiments like "I Am Waiting," a spooky acoustic tune that sounds like the boys had been listening to George Harrison's Indian excursions. Several of the more blues-based tracks press the five-minute barrier, culminating in the nearly 12-minute blues-rock rave-up "Goin' Home," one of the few extended jams that's actually worth the extra minutes.

| | U2 How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - Collectors Ed. CDs (2004) Comes with a DVD and a 48-page hardbound book
South songs
$32.99 
This Limited Edition of HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB includes a bonus DVD that features a documentary film and live performances. It also includes a 45-page book featuring illustrations, paintings, and photography by U2.
Much in the manner of their previous album, ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND, U2 largely strips down the stadium-sized approach of years past on the provocatively titled HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB. Whether they were inspired by the garage-rock revival that took place in between the two records, or just felt like making some visceral rock & roll, this 2004 release has as much unbridled energy as such early U2 benchmarks as BOY or WAR. The album starts with a bang, courtesy of the charging, angular "Vertigo," whose driving bass line and shouted vocals announce the band's intentions in no uncertain terms.
The bluesy "Love and Peace or Else," and the fuzz-guitar-fueled "All Because of You" follow suit in a similarly high-energy manner. That's not to say that this is a mere rockfest from start to finish, though. There are an equal number of reflective, ...

South songs
$11.59
That Billy Harper's tenor saxophone is one of the most distinctive voices in modern jazz is a given. His rich, sonorous post-Coltrane sound is only rivaled by David Murray, and his depth of passionate discourse is matched by no other current day peer. He is also one of the few musician/composer/bandleaders to sport a longtime working ensemble, comprising trumpeter Dr. Eddie Henderson, pianist Francesca Tanksley, bassist Clarence Seay, and drummer Newman Taylor Baker. The music on this recording has religious or spiritual subtexts but not at the expense at the power and glory of what is essentially a style that only Harper possesses: literate, majestic, swelling, heavy, expansive and extensive, slightly on the edge, swinging, and always thoroughly visceral. A slow, serene trumpet solo and powerhouse free tenor starts the 13 1/2 minute "Thine Is the Glory," a prelude for 4/4, modal, soulful swing, the leader establishing his vaunted heat and might from the beginning, free coda and slight return to the melody. Tanksley's pianistics are as lyrical as any à la McCoy Tyner. A 6/8 rhythm buoys short, clipped phrases in "Credence" informing lustrous harmonic lines, while the similarly 6/8-paced "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" is more lilting and all Billy Harper. Clarion, bluesy 2/4 shouting stacatto horns joined by John Clark's singing French horn identifies "Let All the Voices Sing" while a steady, patient waltz pattern similar to "Priestess" on the title cut places Harper in a position where he's tempted to double the time on his solo, ...

| | Kenny Barron Freefall CD (2001)
South CD music
$15.29
"Fragile" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.
Violin/piano duet sessions are routine in the classical music world -- after all, Beethoven wrote ten sonatas for this combination -- but you rarely encounter them in jazz, due in great part to the shortage of jazz violinists. The Kenny Barron/Regina Carter sessions came about sometime after a gig at Sweet Basil's in New York -- and since the two happen to record for the same label, one imagines the only obstacle was the commercial potential of this teaming. But not to worry, for this session has plenty of life and wit; indeed, the sounds of the violin and piano go together as naturally in jazz as in the classical field (must be the resonating strings and wood factors that these instruments share). Carter clearly provides a lot of the spark with her ability to swing, often juxtaposed with classical poise straight from the conservatory, prodding ...
| | Jesse Winchester Third Down, 110 To Go CD (1972) Remastered
South music CDs
$9.69
If Jesse Winchester's debut album was an auspicious introduction to a powerful new songwriting talent, his two-and-a-half-years-in-the-making follow-up was in some ways even more impressive. Without the influence of Robbie Robertson, Winchester, who produced most of the album himself (three tracks were handled by Todd Rundgren), gave it a homemade feel, using small collections of acoustic instruments, an appropriate setting for a group of short, intimate ...
