Dire Straits CD music
$18.79  
Though Moby Grape came blasting out of San Francisco at the height of the Haight-Ashbury scene, they are more related to LA bands like the Byrds and Love, stressing songwriting, arrangements, and multi-part vocals rather than jamming. This debut album stands as one of the finest debuts by any band of the '60s rock era. The Grape's three-guitar line-up is known to have inspired a similar approach with Buffalo Springfield. From the first blast of "Hey Grandma" to the mesmerizing electric closer "Indifference," Moby Grape moved fearlessly from country-tinged romps to blue-eyed soul, with plenty of pounding-in-the-chest rockers throughout.
It's all anchored with tight and inventive instrumental interplay and no less than four songwriters, each with ...
| | Justin Hayward Blue Jays CD (1975)
Dire Straits music CDs
$6.35 
The most romantic album to come out of the Moody Blues' orbit, and the biggest success of their five-year hiatus. Hayward has the more distinctive body of songs, but their strength as a unit lies in their vocal pairing, which is as strong here as it ever was with the group. The pair play the guitars and basses, backed by a group that includes members of the Threshold-signed band Providence. Hayward wrote or co-wrote seven of the original album's ten songs, and most of it is fairly impressive ...
| | Blade Runner CD (1994)
Dire Straits songs
$8.39
This is the complete, original soundtrack to BLADE RUNNER, not released until 1994 because of contractual difficulties. This release also includes some soundscapes which were not in the movie.
It was a circuitous route that led Greek keyboardist/composer Vangelis to BLADE RUNNER. He first came to worldwide attention as part of the '70s progressive rock trio Aphrodite's Child, later going solo as a synthesizer wizard, and occasionally collaborating with buddy Jon Anderson of Yes. With a passion for lush orchestrations, ...

Greek composer/keyboardist Vangelis has been through so many stylistic mutations over the years that it's hard to pin down his musical center. From the progressive rock of his band Aphrodite's Child to his art pop collaborations with Yes vocalist Jon Anderson and his romantic ...

Dire Straits music CDs
$14.29
Although not purely a concept album like 'Book of Kells', the album has several themes upon which much of the material is based. The title track is based around words from Psalm 139, was written at a time when the band were searching for the way forward after the departure of founder member David Fitzgerald.Dave purchased a book called 'Celtic Fire', a book which amongst other things contains the story of St. Brendan and the voyage he reputedly made across the Atlantic ocean in the 6th century with 14 monks in a coracle.Dave Bainbridge and the other members of the band soon became fascinated by this epic story of faith and obedience to God and how it seemed to tie in with the band's thinking at that time.
Personnel: Joanna Hogg (vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards); Mike Haughton (vocals, flute, tin whistle, recorder, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Robert Fripp (guitar); Dave Bainbridge (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, steel guitar, nylon-string guitar, piano, keyboards, programming); Troy Donockley (E-bow, Uilleann pipe); Fiona Davidson (celtic harp); Pete Whitfield (violin, viola); Mansell Morgan, Francis Cummings, ...
| | Oren Ambarchi Oystered CD (2003)
Dire Straits songs
$12.79
Voice Crack (Andy Guhl and Norbert Moslang) and Günter Müller account for three-fourths of the electro-acoustic improv group poire_z. One would think that trading turntablist Erik M for soundscape guitarist Oren Ambarchi on the remaining chair would take the group's music into even higher planes of crackling atmospheres. On the contrary, Oystered sounds more grounded and dynamic than poire_z's recordings. Individual contributions become very difficult to pinpoint in this music, where acoustic instruments (Müller's selected percussion) are treated to sound electronic, where everyday electronic ...
| | Michael Carpenter Rolling Ball CD (2004) Import
Dire Straits album
$29.79
Australian singer-songwriter Michael Carpenter's ROLLING BALL includes "Emily Says" and "Day Before."
Michael Carpenter produced some of the best singer/songwriter rock & roll records around the turn of the millennium, but until 2003's Kings Rd. Works he was handling most of the instrumentation, recording, and production entirely himself. It seemed that having a full band in the studio with him would provide an extra dose of power and energize his normally humble efforts, but for some reason the end result was a record that sounded more constrained than his prior work and came off as a bit of a disappointment. He retrenched with the follow-up, 2004's brilliant Rolling Ball, a dizzyingly diverse record that borrows from a cornucopia of styles and bursts with enthusiasm. Rolling Ball doesn't represent a break from form so much as an increase in focus: this is still the same Michael Carpenter who's been releasing rootsy and earnest pop/rock records since 1999. It is a return, at least to some extent, to the sound of Carpenter's first (and best) record, Baby, but not self-consciously so. Instead, Carpenter has shattered the "next Tom Petty" tag and realized that his many influences, which he has always tended to wear on his sleeve throughout his records, can merge to create a record that sounds like his own work, and that part of that process is to actually allow them to seep through fully. Essentially, Rolling Ball is where Carpenter decided to stop recognizing the boundaries of his influences and to instead fully integrate them, and the end result is excellence: the title track and "Emily Says" recall classic bubblegum, "The Ache" nods toward the twang of the Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo without cribbing too liberally from the source material, ballads like "Good Enough" and "Everyday" resonate in a way that his slower material didn't before (especially on Kings Rd. Works, where they were the obvious Achilles' heel), and he also creates some of the most complex and dizzyingly diverse songs of his career, in particular the neo-psychedelic "The Day Before." Building from tense and foreboding verses, the song bursts into an anthemic, chunky classic rock-styled chorus before sinking again into the pulsating depths ...

Dire Straits CD music
$15.39
While it would be difficult to get a complete picture of the New York punk scene with just one single disc, New York Rocks: Original Punk Classics of the 70's is actually fairly comprehensive. Originators of a sound that's still alive today via everyone from Luna to the Strokes, groups like the Velvet Underground and Television are represented with what is arguably their best-ever ...
| | Michael Hurley Down In Dublin CD (2005)
Dire Straits music CDs
$15.05
Michael Hurley's fans have pegged him as a musical genius, and while his praises have certainly been sung, they've never been sung by a large chorus. This is partly because of his own eccentricities, and partly because no one seems to be buying what he's selling. Hurley's albums are fairly hard to come by (at one time, he had a website where one could purchase CD-Rs of old albums, but by the beginning of 2006, the website was MIA) and have, often as not, been few and far between. Down in Dublin was a rather curious artifact, then, showing up in 2005, only two years after the release of the excellent Sweetkorn. Hurley's trademark style, lackadaisical, laid-back, and just a bit hazy, is on full display on the opener, "Goners." As usual, one might be hard-pressed to explain exactly what Hurley's getting at, but that's part of his charm. There's some nifty electric guitar (very low-key, but very nifty) on "Goners," and his comrades, Dave Reisch and Thurstan Binns, fall into a comfy hillbilly groove. The second cut, the haunting and halting "What I Have," also works well, but by the third cut, "Rough and Rocky," the cracks in the seams begin to show up. No one really expects Hurley to sing the "Slurf ...

| | Calvin Harris I Created Disco CD (2007)
Dire Straits album
$9.89
Harris is compared to and tipped as “the next Mylo”. This debut album is an indie dance pop masterpiece and features the singles and current dancefloor anthems “Acceptable In The 80s” & “The Girls".
Scottish remixer, songwriter, former bedroom artist, MySpace star, and finally major-label recording artist on EMI, Calvin Harris released his debut album of electronic dance music with snatches of the Human League, or maybe more accurately the League Unlimited Orchestra, in the summer of 2007, including two Top Ten singles, "Acceptable in the 80s" and "The Girls." The former track is a slice of tongue-in-cheek disco-pop for all those born in the decade after dance music took over the world, and the latter extols the virtues of all types of girls (even those carrying a little bitty extra weight), with political correctness abounding as he name-checks that he likes black, white, Asian, and mixed-race girls along with at least half a dozen different nationalities. "Vegas" was released as a vinyl-only track, and one can picture cruising down the Strip in an open-top car, the mobile equivalent of a boogie box or ghetto blaster turned up to maximum, as all the local girls' heads turn to see who's in town. Several of the tracks are instrumentals, including "Certified," "Love Souvenir" (a cool, end-of-the-evening jazzy number), and the title track, although this does have a monologue of Harris explaining how and when he really did create disco. "Traffic Cops" is less than a minute of honking horns, but if you thought that was short, blink once and you would certainly miss the track "Vault Character," eight seconds long with just four electronic notes down the scale. Harris doesn't need to sing -- his electronic ...
