Liner Note Author: A. Scott Galloway.
Invigorating head music done Rastafarian style by Cymande. "Zion I" is a spiritual chant put to music, setting the mood for Cymande. A laid-back "One More" lulls you into subliminal meditation before "Getting It Back" jolts you into some scintillating Jamaican funk-fusion. There's a message in many of Cymande's cuts, with "Listen," and "Bra" (a recognition of the women's lib movement), the most inspiring. Both are sung with passion, and are skillfully executed; the former is slow and painstaking in its message, while "Bra" slaps you upside the head with a stirring sax solo and bass-fueled vamp. An air of supreme coolness permeates Cymande, unusual for a first effort written by members of the band. Cymande sound like they have done this before; nowhere is this more evident than on the beautiful "Dove," a gorgeous concoction of lead guitar, tambourines, haunting backing vocals, and percussion, with the horns used as sparingly as table-seasoning on a gourmet dish. Along with "Bra," the group's most popular cut is "The Message" -- it's difficult keeping body parts still on this grooving mutha. All in all, Cymande is a marvelous collection that premiered a fine funk band. ~ Andrew HamiltonQ (11/99, p.160) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...they could clearly cut a slinky War-like, jazz-funk groove between the praises to Jah. Much sampled in recent times, not least by the Fugees. Justification, then, at least."

Re-Issue From 1974;Bonus Trax Personnel: Gil Scott-Heron (vocals, electric piano); Brian Jackson (vocals, acoustic & electric pianos); Danny Bowens (electric bass); Bob Adams (drums).

Digitally remastered by Malcolm Cecil.
One of Gil Scott-Heron's finest 1970s albums, WINTER IN AMERICA finds the ever-provocative vocalist/poet playing off the surprisingly gentle piano arrangements of Brian Jackson. Whereas other records (particularly SMALL TALK AT 125th AND LENOX) focus more on Scott-Heron's spoken-word missives, WINTER highlights the influential African-American performer's abilities as a singer, particularly ...

Kem Album II CD  (2005)

Cymande
CD $11.15  4.4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Personnel: Kem (vocals, keyboards); Quentin Baxter, Reggie McTaw (guitar); Stevie Wonder (harmonica); David McMurray (saxophone); Brian O'Neal (keyboards, synthesizer); Fred Robinson , Al Turner (bass instrument); Ron Otis (drums); Marlon Curry (percussion).
Kem is as out of place with 2005's Album II as he was with his debut, 2003's Kemistry. Via word of mouth and some radio play, he has managed to find his way in with the adult crowd, who helped put Kemistry into the Top 20 of the R&B chart. His kind of R&B is kicked-back with sparse arrangements made elegantly rich with starlit keyboards, subtle guitar flicks, and feminine vocals. Understated but assured, his vocals exhibit a lot of range despite almost always remaining at the volume of a bedroom whisper. So he's really out place in the early 2000s, not stylistically disparate from what you'd hear late at night on a soul station in the late '70s or early ...

Ill Communication
Beastie Boys Ill Communication CD  (1994)

Cymande
CD $8.85  4.3 stars Top 500
The Beastie Boys: Mike "Ad-Rock" Horovitz (vocals, guitar); Adam "MCA" Yauch (vocals, acoustic bass, electric bass); Mike "Mike D" Diamond (vocals, drums).
Additional personnel: Q-Tip, Biz Markie (rap vocals); Eugene Gore (violin); "Money" Mark Nishita (keyboards, organ); Amery Smith (drums); Eric Bobo (percussion).
Producer: Beastie Boys, Mario Caldato, Jr.
Recorded at G-Son Studios, Atwater Village, California and Tin Pan Alley, New York.
"Sabotage" was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.
Ill Communication follows the blueprint of Check Your Head, accentuating it at some points, deepening it in others, but never expanding it beyond the boundaries of that record. As such, it's the first Beastie Boys album not to delve into new territory, but it's not fair to say that it finds the band coasting, since much of the album finds the group turning in muscular, vigorous music that fills out the black-and-white sketches that comprised Check Your Head. Much of the credit has to go to the group's renewed confidence in -- or at least renewed emphasis on -- their rhyming; there are still instrumentals (arguably, there are too many instrumentals), but the Beasties do push their words to the forefront, even on dense rockers like the album's signature tune, "Sabotage." But even those rhymes illustrate that the group is in the process of a great settling, relying more on old-school-styled rhyme schemes and word battles than the narratives and surreal fantasies that marked the high points on their first two albums. With this record, the Beasties confirm that there is indeed a signature Beastie Boys aesthetic (it's too far-ranging and restless to be pegged as a signature sound), with the group sticking to a blend of old school rap, pop culture, lo-fi funk, soulful jazz instrumentals, Latin rhythms, and punk, often seamlessly integrated into a rolling, pan-cultural, multi-cultural groove. The best moments of Ill Communication rank with the best music the Beasties have ever made, as well as the best pop music of the '90s, but unfortunately, it's uneven and rather front-loaded. The first half overflows with brilliant, imaginative variations on their aesthetic: the assured groove of "Sure Shot," the warped rap of "B-Boys Makin' With the Freak Freak," the relentless dirty funk of "Root Down," the monumental "Sabotage," and the sly "Get It Together," highlighted by a cameo from Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest. After that, the album seems to lose its sense of direction and momentum, even if individual moments are very good. Any record that can claim jams as funky and inventive as "Flute Loop" and "Do It," or instrumentals as breezy as "Ricky's Theme," is certainly better than its competition, but there are just enough moments that rank as obvious ...

Laibach: Saliger, Dachauer, Keller, Eber.
Personnel: Seaming To (vocals); Anne Carruthers (cello); Monika Debelic (strings).
Recording information: Daily Girls, Ljubljana, Slovakia; Metropolis Studio, London, England; NSK Studio, Ljubljana, Slovakia; Studio Metro, Ljubljana, Slovakia; The Instrument, London, England.
Author: George W. Bush.
As the musical wing of the Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) collective, Laibach have garnered as much notoriety for their provocative statements on art and ideology, as they have for their creepy Wagnerian take on industrial music. Elaborate in their parodic use of totalitarian imagery, Laibach's music often moves with the militaristic precision of a goose-stepping brigade. On their album VOLK, Laibach performs reinterpretations of the national anthems of 14 countries. The imaginative re-workings offer up everything from pastoral hymns to full-on Gregorian chants. Eerily effective, the band lays bare the violent foundations of patriotism and national identity on this ambitious new work.
A band that uses explicitly fascist symbolism (including Nazi uniforms) as part of its stage presentation is opening itself ...
