 (2 Customer Reviews)
Arguably BT was in some ways late in the game by the time Ima came out because if there was anything like a "golden age" of uplifting/transcendent/progressive house, it happened in the early '90s rather than the latter half. However, sometimes nothing makes an artistic effort stand out more than being defiantly out of sync with the times. While Ima's clean feel, sci-fi/blissed-out song titles like "Nocturnal Transmission" and "Embracing the Sunshine," and a generally happy way around the beat is miles away from the hip-hop/jungle/big beat styles prevailing elsewhere, it still is a fine if, at times, obvious listen. Certainly anybody interested in trance's aesthetics of beat and build will want to leap all over it if they find it; you could slip most of this album on at such raves and nobody would bat an eye. Samples and sonics indicate an interest in West Coast artists like the Hardkiss collective, but generally BT sounds like he's content in his own world. Sometimes things get a bit much -- the semi-whale sounds on "Embracing the Future (Embracing the Sunshine Mix)" were a cliché long before in the first place -- but the vibes and other touches on that same track help it and BT out from simply following others' footsteps. The two strongest tracks are perhaps unsurprisingly the poppiest, with vocals. "Loving You More," included in both a dub version of the original single and a further final instrumental mix, sparkles with energy and the undeniable power of a good if basic vocal hook, chopped up and looped in various ways. More accessible to general listeners would be his Cure-tinged collaboration with Tori Amos, "Blue Skies," included in two versions on a bonus disc shipped with initial copies. Said disc also includes a complete remix of Ima itself by Sasha. ~ Ned Raggett

Purchase Ima CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chemical Brothers Surrender CD (1999)
Ima album
 $12.49   
While the band's previous album retreated from the carefully arranged popcraft of DIG YOUR OWN HOLE towards more familiar in-the-mix DJ territory, the Chemical Brothers once again prove themselves masters of the studio on SURRENDER. Things open on an upbeat, infectious note with "Music: Response," a track powered by tinny, bleeping synth effects straight out of Kraftwerk's "Pocket Calculator." Eminently danceable breakbeats and surging synth lines are consistent ...
| | Bt Escm CD (1997)
Ima CD music
$13.89
Continuing pretty thoroughly in Ima's vein, ESCM is another collection of ambient-progressive electronic music with as much interest in new age blissouts as dancefloor action. This said, ESCM is stronger all around, with a more varied sense of overall rhythm dynamics than the basic build-and-release trance climaxes that were the bread and butter of Ima. Opening track "Firewater" shows this well with its initial rhythm, a shuddering, slightly distorted tribal drum stomp instead of a straight pulse. Swooping synths and ecstatic vocals mix with deep spoken-word vocals about "fire in the sky," and when the main beats kick in, it's shuffling funk that carries the track to even higher and stronger levels. Concluding with acoustic guitar and rough, soulful vocals, it makes for quite a stunning start, signaling the album's greater ambitions and success at delivering the same. While "Orbitus Teranium" sounds like it should be a tribute to the Orb, the crisp drum machine generated ...

| | Debelah Morgan Dance With Me CD (2000)
Ima CD music
$13.95
Six years after Atlantic initially dropped her, multi-talented singer/songwriter Debelah Morgan returned with her third album, Dance With Me, a fresh, quick-stepping dance-oriented album. Morgan collaborated with brother Giloh on production and songwriting credits, which made the 14-track album a simple urban spin on R&B grooves and sultry hip-hop beats. She is emotionally confident and smooth in heightening her Mariah Carey-like vocal range, especially on tracks such as "I Remember" and "Think of You." A definitive musical maturation is pretty obvious from her previous material, and Morgan stays sassy with upbeat songs about adoration and the lovelorn. She isn't afraid to slow things down, and the ballad "What Would You Do" is an enjoyable look showcasing Morgan's sentimental brooding. It's a nice twist for Morgan, and her move in perfecting her angular pop-laden sound shapes nicely. Dance With Me is sheer, decent, and carefree in the sense that Debelah Morgan made a solid record with the idea of doing it only for herself. ~ MacKenzie Wilson

| | Krisiun Conquerors Of Armageddon CD (2000)
Ima music CDs
$8.99
Krisiun is not a band that puts a lot of emphasis on experimenting or on trying to achieve a radically original sound. Instead, they just keep on honing their attack, focusing on making their music even faster and heavier (to the narrow extent that that is possible). Conquerors of Armageddon is their third official album, and it is basically just a bigger and (arguably) better version of what you hear on their first two: Morbid Angel-influenced death metal that overflows with blasting drumbeats, guttural guitar/bass riffs, growled-out vocals, and completely ...

| | KT Sullivan Fine Romance: A Dorothy Fields Songbook CD (2006)
Ima CD music
$11.59 
Female, and not a few male, singers have long delighted in the witty, intimate lyrics of Dorothy Fields, who wrote primarily for Broadway and Hollywood from the 1920s to the 1970s, producing numerous standards. Since Fields was so good at writing songs about the war between the sexes (including her efforts for Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the film Swing Time), it is only appropriate that K.T. Sullivan awards co-billing to her piano accompanist Mark Nadler on this collection of Fields songs, not only duetting with him on several selections, but also letting him sing solo on four. Some of these songs are so familiar ("I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "I'm in the Mood for Love," "On the Sunny Side of the Street") that they have to be reimagined to be made fresh, and Sullivan and Nadler have been bold in bringing them back to life. In particular, Nadler combines "I'm in the Mood for Love" with the rhythm number "Digga Digga Doo" in order to find a new way to interpret it, and he's largely successful, even if he alters the mood considerably. Combining songs in medleys is Sullivan and Nadler's main method of reinterpretation here, and they sometimes find ...
| | Doug Cash Locust CD (2004)
Ima music CDs
$9.29
This release is in league with Lennon's "Plastic Ono Band", Buckley's "Grace" and Sting's "Blue Turtles".Locust is the embodiment of singer, songwriter, musician craftsmanship.This is Doug Cash' greatest achievement...so far.DC PryorPresidentwww.swrecords.netSwrecords.net is now Pryor 2 What ? RecordsReviews: Michael Frazier reviews Doug Cash - the CD LocustHey Doug, thanks for the request. I listened to all the previews from your latest release at CD Baby, as requested.You certainly have talent with the guitar and with your voice. Songwriting is good as well. All of the mixes were quite sharp and well done and everthing was very listenable. Lryics are well written and overall send thoughtful, very human, messages. I liked the diversity of this collection of tunes and the addition of some other sounds. Nicely done piece of work.I personally liked Emotional Treason the best - very much reminded me of the style of a friend of mine. Solid tune. Your voice is at it's finest on Locust - very powerful and captures the emotion of the song. I also really liked the groove on Beyond 2 and the orchestration you created on Is You - very cool. Ending with Q is for Quinlan is a great idea. A very nice acoustic guitar instrumental with a bit of other sounds tossed in to keep it moving and hold the beat and timing.Overall, this recording features some great messages held up by solid guitar playing and singing. The mix, I thought, was very well done. Everything there and in it's place. I noted no errors in timing or pitch in my listens. A winner in my book.[4 out of 5 stars] A blend of Seal, Bill Withers and Joni MitchellReviewer: Gary Arthur Brown (click for website)Psychedelia, folk, and a slight, endearing groove. This is ?IS YOU? in a nut shell. Can you imagine? If you can, go ahead and imagine Bill Withers and Joni Mitchell on the same spaced out trip as ?68-era Brit-heads like the Pretty Things or Syd Barrett. It?s arty and soothing, like a Picaso Smoothie® at an AOR dance party. All in all, a really decent track. The serenity begins with some folk-heavy guitar strumming and plunky leads that make you want smoke Grass? despite all the straight-edge tattoos you?ve gotten during your stupid and squandered youth. Casperish, ghostly vocal harmonies fill out this warm musical mindscape. Dig in a little deeper and you?ll hear the esoteric lyrics calling you to your eternally blissful state of PSYCHEDELICIZING in a hammock beside strawberry fields forever. This song fits right in on the great album that is Classic Rock, blending conventional and unconventional influences and tones into a Tapestry, much like Carole King. Except, Doug Cash is a man. An interesting and talented ...
