KING OF THE BEACH, from U.K. singer-songwriter Chris Rea, contains twelve tracks, highlighted by the title cut as well as the hit "All Summer Long."
A sequel of sorts to his earlier On the Beach, King of the Beach continues the laid-back mood of the earlier album but is (despite the goofy title) a more mature and unified work. It's one of his best albums and is a return to form after the film soundtrack La Passione and the more electronic sounds of The Road to Hell Part 2. Written primarily during a vacation in the Turks and Caicos Islands, it's replete with lots of beach and summer imagery in the titles ("King of the Beach," "All Summer Long," "Sandwriting," "Sail Away") as well as the lyrics, which were originally written as poems. A remix of "All Summer Long" was a big dance hit in Ibiza and other Mediterranean hot spots. A good album for a summer day, with a soulful mellowness flowing through the tracks. ~ Rob Caldwell

King Of The Beach
 $9.29  
New Light Through Old Windows is a significant baker's dozen of Chris Rea's early material, leading up to but not including work from his Road to Hell album. Rea's stature was always larger in the United Kingdom than in the U.S., with his only American Top 40 single coming from the newer version of "Fool (If You Think It's Over)," a re-release of the same song which failed to garner any attention the first time around. Rea's soothing voice is indeed attractive, and the songs that are included on this set are wisely chosen examples of his smooth style. "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat" from Water Sign and "Stainsby Girls" off Shamrock Diaries are two of the better tracks that showcase his slick, demure-like manner. "On the Beach," from his best-selling album of the same name, and his highest charted single in the U.K., ...

Principally recorded at Southern Tracks, Atlanta, Georgia and Master Fonics, Nashville, Tennessee.
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
This 2001 release by black metal icond Thorns reatures "Existence," "Shifting Channels," "Vortex" and more.
Any time a new "supergroup" is formed, fans of the combo's individual members are both excited and skeptical. In the case of The Thorns, these particular emotions ran especially high when it came to singer/songwriters as talented, critically lauded, and seemingly incongruous as power-pop icon Matthew Sweet, neo-folkie Shawn Mullins and Seattle rocker Pete Droge. Amazingly, the word that comes to mind upon first listen to THE ...

| | Diamanda Galas La Serpenta Canta CDs (2003)
King Of The Beach
$13.49
2003 album from the avant-garde performer is a song recital recruiting blues, R&B, Motown, southern soul, country & western, & her own 'Baby's Insane' (from 'This Sporting Life' [1994]), her duo album with John Paul Jones). 15 tracks recorded between May 1999 & November 2002. Mute.
Blues is a scary form of music. The authentic blues relies on the turmoil of strong, often shameful emotions. Bluesmen like John Lee Hooker and Screamin' Jay Hawkins could sing in a very scary voice that sent shivers down your spine. So can Diamanda Galás. In fact, she's the scariest of them all. Then again, she's not a blues singer. Or isn't she? Her fantastic vocal range and powerful lungs are certainly more opera than roots, but her gothic looks and her topics of choice (despair and redemption) put her much closer to the Blues (with a capital B) than one could suspect at first. And when she dives into "Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down" or Hooker's "Burning Hell," she is one of the greatest blueswomen who ever lived. But what she does to the blues is unique, and makes La Serpenta Canta a unique album. Recorded live, mostly in 2001-2002, it features the dark dame alone at the piano (her soundman Blaise Dupuy occasionally adds effects in her piano or microphone). She reinvents from top to bottom a cross section of songs about people hurting. It's not all blues; there's some country in there, some jazz, even a bit of Motown (the Supremes' "My World Is ...

This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
Five years after The Time Machine, Alan Parsons returned to the producer's chair refreshed and ready to go with an arsenal of new songs. The immediate standout is Parsons' highly updated super-polished sound, and to expect less from Parsons would be an insult to his legacy and reputation as one of rock's most respected producers and engineers. As usual for a Parsons project (pun intended), guest appearances once again run the gamut. The Crystal Method, David Gilmour, John Cleese, Nortec Collective, ...
