 (1 Customer Review)
Big, expansive Euro-pop, Australian style. Stylistically, this duo is coming straight out of the '80s with a vengeance. Savage Garden look to Duran Duran and Big Country for influences. Guitars are used for texture, not as instruments of angst or anger. But the Prince-style strings and piano at the end of "To the Moon and Back" show a willingness to experiment within the somewhat narrow confines of their chosen sound.
The feel is electronic, but not inhuman. "I Want You" sounds a lot like Roxette (remember Roxette?!!), with its rapid-fire, hip-hoppy vocal affectations, but then "Truly Madly Deeply" comes along, a ballad replete with open-chord guitar sweeps and gospel-inflected keyboards. There's even a nice classical guitar solo at at the end to round things out. If you like modern dance music, but with a semblance of melody and some pleasant instrumental concepts, you just might want to enter this conventionally pretty, not-so-savage garden.
Australian edition features one bonus track.

Savage Garden Music Review Purchase Savage Garden CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chumbawamba Shhhlap! CD (2003)
Savage Garden album
 $11.79  
Shhhlap! is more of a public service than anything new -- a two-fer of the albums Shhh and Slap! Both have their significance in the Chumbawamba canon, marking a turning away from their outright punk past and into a more individual, modern sound; bringing out the innate humor and wordplay that's been one of their trademarks ever since. Shhh is a decidedly cynical look at the music business; the album that appeared after their projected music business take, "Jesus H. Christ", was unable to happen because no one would grant licenses for the use of samples -- Shhh being a reference to being gagged. In many ways it's the same album, cunningly re-recorded to hint at what's missing without crossing the line into outright illegality, and it skewers a number of stars very well. Slap! is the unabashed political album, bookended by the tracks "Ulrike" and "Meinhof." In between are slapstick, verbal jousts, taunts, and music that had its grounding in punk, but was also in love with the new possibilities of techno and electronica. It's the most European album in the Chumba catalog, with headlines for song titles "Chase PC's Flee Attack By Own Dog," and a sense of humor bordering on the absurd at times. It's easy to dismiss Chumbawamba as sloganeers, but listen more than once to this and you'll see there's plenty of thought -- and emotion -- behind their work, and some marvelous, cheeky intelligences at work. ~ Chris Nickson

| | Rosanne Cash List CD (2009)
Savage Garden songs
$14.45 
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, a beautiful restatement of her father's passions, only now, they've become his daughter's treasures, as well. It's an affirming story, but that's all it would be if Cash didn't sing her heart out here. The opener, a version of Jimmie Rodgers' "Miss the Mississippi and You," is full of comfortable grace and sentiment, and Cash keeps that fine emotional tone throughout this set. Songs like the folk classic "500 Miles" feel at once both lovingly rendered and reborn for a new century in Cash's hands. There's also her fine rendering of Bob Dylan's "Girl from the North Country," ...
| | Them Crooked Vultures CD (2009)
Savage Garden album
$11.19  
Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who hopped into an empty drummer's chair whenever the opportunity presented itself; and Josh Homme, who set up a mini-empire based entirely on jam sessions. If Them Crooked Vultures brings to mind Homme's projects more than Grohl's or Jones', it's largely due to his role as lead vocalist and how guitar can push a rhythm section as powerful as this to the side, dominating ...

Savage Garden music CDs
$15.55 
TIMESPACE contains Stevie Nick's greatest hits plus three new songs.
Although her gauzy, enchantress persona suggests a certain level of flightiness, Stevie Nicks has always come across as one smart performer. TIMESPACE: THE BEST OF STEVIE NICKS samples a full decade's worth of singles and key album tracks from her solo career (starting with 1981's BELLA DONNA), and makes a strong case for the idea that Nicks's own records were actually better than Fleetwood Mac's albums during the same period. All of the hits are here, from the early smashes "Edge of Seventeen" and the Tom Petty duet "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" to later gems such as the driving Prince collaboration "Stand Back" (arguably her solo high point) and the dreamy, Fleetwood Mac-like Top 40 hit "Rooms on Fire." TIMESPACE also includes fan favorites like the Don Henley duet "Leather and Lace" and the gorgeous "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You" to create a complete overview of Nick's '80s solo work.
Includes liner notes by Stevie Nicks.
Engineers include: Rob Jacobs, Shelly Yakus, Stephen W. Taylor.
Composers: Elvis Presley; Jon Bon Jovi; Mike Campbell ; Pat Schunk; Rick Nowels; Sandy Stewart; Stevie Nicks; Tom Petty; Billy Falcon; Bret Michaels; Chas Sandford.

Savage Garden songs
$11.49
Winner of a Parents' Choice Award, a John Lennon Song Writing Award and a Dr Toy Best Vacation Product Award.Nashville Parent, November 1, 2001: "If cowboys moonlighted as children's musical entertainers, these would be the songs they'd sing! A gently rollicking, country western-flavored gallop through childhood, "Emily Songs" just begs to be danced to. The comic absurdity of "I Need a Hand", "The Window" and "Monkey and the Engineer" will leave the little ones in stitches. Though it's difficult to single out a favorite track on this engaging CD, "Cowgirl Song" is definitely the rootinest, tootinest tune this side of Abilene. Excellent music and musicianship make hearing this CD played over and over again (as kids are wont to do) a real pleasure." - Ashley R. CrownoverThe Boston Parents' Paper, November 1, 2001: "Ben Rudnick and Friends' Emily Songs may be just the CD to get your family through a rainy Saturday.

Paul Robeson's recorded musical legacy has been parceled out over the years on many different LP and CD compilations. Although the liner notes to Rev-Ola's 28-track Robeson sampler emphasize the singer's remarkable social awareness, the song selection reflects his stylistic diversity rather than strictly focusing upon songs of struggle and dissent. An operatic basso who handled spirituals, gospel, protest songs, show tunes, pop melodies, and jazz standards with equal and unwavering facility, Robeson is also remembered as a fearless and outspoken political activist. The son of a slave who escaped captivity and became a minister, Robeson founded the American Crusade Against Lynching in 1948. In the days before his passport was revoked, Robeson went to the Iberian Peninsula during the Spanish Civil War and sang for the people, then protested the Non-Intervention Agreement (a policy that essentially benefited the fascist Generalissimo Franco) in 1937. Robeson was treated with respect when he toured Russia, and like Pablo Neruda made the mistake of initially assuming that his own experience reflected the reality of everyday life in the Stalinist Soviet Union; Neruda later said: "A moment in the darkness does not blind us." Robeson then stubbornly refused to revise his public utterances about the U.S.S.R. in order to avoid aligning himself with U.S. Cold War militarism. Note that during his Russian tour, smack in the middle of one of Stalin's anti-Semitic campaigns, Robeson sang -- in Yiddish -- the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising song, which begins with the words "Zog nit keynmol az du gueist dem letztn veg" ("Never say that you are walking on your last road"). Back home in the U.S.A., Robeson was banned from television at a time when he was a vital force in the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement. The rest of his story is progressively sad and heartbreaking. The printed information provided with this disc is most inspiring, particularly Robeson's own epitaph that is carved into his tombstone: "The artist must elect to fight for freedom or slavery. I have made my choice. I had no alternative." This is posted on the CD insert beneath a quote from Robeson's eulogy, spoken by Lloyd Brown at the singer's funeral service in 1976: "How fortunate we were to have had Paul Robeson walk the earth among us. As artist and man he was a prophetic vision of how wondrously beautiful the human race may yet become. Now he belongs to the future." ~ arwulf arwulf
One of the truly great voices of the century, Robeson spoke out against racism and social injustice, to the extent he became politically suspect and pretty much unemployable in the US. Coming to Britain, he not only starred ...
