This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by Juan Atkins.
Juan Atkins' Legends, Vol. 1 certainly isn't the techno flashback of his 1998 mix date for Wax Trax; with no Detroit productions in sight (except for his own opener), Atkins instead focuses on a set of catchy, funky tribal-house and disco -- more reminiscent of Joe Claussell's Body & Soul clubnight than Motown's Music Institute. Early on, tracks from Rui da Silva and Individual Orchestra bring a warm, enveloping feel to the mix, occasionally leaning toward Afro-beat. The Detroit godfather also salutes the sound of Chicago, beginning with DJ Sneak's energetic "Dancin' Therapy" and including tracks from a trio of fraternal house producers: Harrison Crump, Felix Da Housecat's Aphrohead project, and L.A. Williams. Aside from a few leftfield names (Isolee, Kit Clayton) for downtempo pauses, Atkins sticks with the groove throughout the set, from a nice filtered-disco track ("Spaced Invader" by Hatiras) through the old-school disco of Harrison Crump ("Get Boogie") and Venetjoki ("Cheap Heat"). As luscious and groove-filled as a Jeff Mills set is minimal and punchy, Legends, Vol. 1 displays Juan Atkins eager to move bodies as well as minds. ~ John Bush
Trance: Hardtrance compilation from the makers of the Trancemaster series.Uncut (11/01, p.101) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...They weave a dense awning of continuous techno....In the spirit of Atkins, they sound as eerily out-there as the first Eighties wave of electronica did, as remote as images from a Hubble telescope..."

$30.38
The "free" in the title to Joss Stone's fourth album apparently refers to the neo-singer breaking free from the shackles of her major label, EMI, who apparently have not let Joss be Joss. That this constricting argument happens to be the exact same story line Stone used for 2007's Introducing Joss Stone, the splashy diva power trip meant to unveil the "real" singer, is conveniently forgotten, as is the modern R&B of that makeover, with Joss returning to all the retro-soul of her first two records. The one lingering element of Introducing is a propensity for melisma-laden oversinging, a tic that stands out in the warmer, funkier settings of Colour Me Free! Still, her ...

| | Lowell George Thanks I'll Eat It Here CD (1979)
Legends Vol. 1 songs
$11.65
Thanks I'll Eat it Here is strikingly different from the fusion-leanings of Little Feat's last studio album, Time Loves a Hero. Lowell George never cared for jazz-fusion, so it should be little surprise that there's none to be heard on Thanks. Instead, he picks up where Dixie Chicken left off (he even reworks that album's standout "Two Trains"), turning in a laid-back, organic collection of tunes equal parts New Orleans R&B, country, sophisticated blues, and pop. George wasn't in good health during the sessions for Thanks, which you wouldn't tell by his engaging performances, but from the lack of new tunes. Out of the nine songs on the album, only three are originals, and they're all collaborations. That's a drawback only in retrospect -- it's hard not to wish that the last album George completed had more of his own songs -- but Lowell was a first-rate interpreter, so even covers of Allen Toussaint ("What Do You Want the Girl to Do"), Ann Peebles ("I Can't Stand the Rain") and Rickie Lee Jones ("Easy Money") wind up sounding of piece with the original songs. George's music rolls so easy, the album can seem a little slight at first, but it winds up being a real charmer. Yes, a few songs drift by and, yes, Jimmy Webb's vaudevellian "Himmler's Ring" feels terribly out of place, but Lowell's style is so distinctive and his performances so soulful, it's hard not to like this record if you've ever had a fondness for Little Feat. ...

Legends Vol. 1 CD music
$12.65
The Crumbling Empire Of White People is the second album by singer-songwriter Mr. Smolin who has teamed up once again with iconic pop composer/dramatist Stew (The Negro Problem, Passing Strange) to create an earthy follow-up to the outer-space journey of Smolin’s debut album At Apogee (Nomenclature Records, 2004). Throughout The Crumbling Empire Of White People, true to form, Stew’s deliciously appropriate brain-tickling production intermingles seamlessly with Smolin’s memorable melodies and striking words, making for a listening experience exquisite as crystal. Described by Wired magazine’s Steve Silberman as a songwriter who composes both “hooky tunes that you can’t get out of your head” and lyrics that are “transcendental poetry,” Smolin takes his mad skills to an even higher level on The Crumbling Empire Of White People, signalling an important artist in full flight amid the gathering ruins.Mr. Smolin is the performance moniker of Los Angeles musician and teacher Barry Smolin, aka Shmo. Best known publicly as the host of the psychedelic radio show The Music Never Stops on KPFK 90.7 FM in Southern California, Smolin has been writing songs for 30 years in a variety of genres, finally settling on a piano-based offbeat sound that reflects influences ranging from Stephen Foster and Hoagy Carmichael to poetic songwriters like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen to pop eccentrics like Gilbert O'Sullivan and Tim Buckley, as well as theatre composers like Jerome Kern and Stephen Sondheim, among many others. Smolin's aesthetic, though, retains its own forward-thinking originality—keeping one foot in the avant-garde and one in Tin ...
