SEA is a 2004 release by Uruguayan pop isnger Jorge Drexler, featuring "Horas" and "Crece"
Sea is the follow-up to Jorge Drexler's masterpiece Frontera. And although it's not as brilliant as its predecessor, it's certainly a very strong effort. Drexler is not "just" another songwriter in the Spanish tradition. He pays an unusual attention to music, not only words. In this album, loops and electronic sounds are added to his frequent combination of Brazilian, Argentine, and -- of course -- Uruguayan influences, genres, and styles. Although it's a pretty even album, there are some highlights: the beautiful chacarera "Crece," the ballad "Me Haces Bien," the candombe with scratches in "Tamborero," and the catchy "Horas." ~ Iván Adaime
Fourth album from respected Uruguayan singer/songwriter. Jorge Drexler has gained a massive audience with his previous releases. His music has been interpreted by artists such as Ketama, David Broza, Pablo Milanes and Victor Manuel.
Recording information: La Calle Isla De Flores, Montevideo (02/2001-04/2001); Montevideo, Madrid (02/2001-04/2001). Sea Review

Purchase Sea CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Paul Butterfield Blues Band CD (1965)
Sea album
 $6.19    
The '60s Blues Revival begins here. Calling this album influential is an understatement akin to calling the Grand Canyon a rut; suffice to say that an entire generation of musicians (mostly young and white) heard this and had their lives changed forever. In fact, for at least a year after the album's release in 1965, it was impossible to walk down the hall of any college ...
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Sea CD music
$6.19 
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling ...
| | Drive-By Truckers Southern Rock Opera CDs (2001) Digipak
Sea music CDs
$11.99 
A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive rock fans lamenting the modern era's relative lack of story-driven albums divided into "Act I" and "Act II" will latch onto SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA ...
| | CocoRosie La Maison De Mon Reve CD (2004)
Sea songs
$12.69
An enchanting debut, CocoRosie's La Maison de Mon Rêve is a dreamy yet challenging confection of found sounds, folk-blues, trip-hop, girlish pop, and experimental recording and production techniques. The Casady sisters' breathy, slightly different, but equally lovely vocals circle each other atop delicately plucked and strummed acoustic guitars, chirping birds, and fractured beats, making for a sound that is hard to define outside of its own beauty and creativity. A strong Billie Holiday influence colors the sisters' vocals, particularly on La Maison de Mon Rêve's most accessible songs, but even then, CocoRosie isn't so much aping Lady Day as it is invoking her style in unique ways. Layers of crickets, birds, pianos, and intensely sweet backing vocals make "By Your Side" an unusually intimate and spontaneous-sounding, while lyrics like "I'd wear your black eyes/Bake you apple pies" give it a subversive, feminist angle. "Butterscotch" mixes ethereal sensuality with a mischievous sense of humor, and "Good Friday"'s whispered remembrances ...
| | Antony I Am A Bird Now CD (2005)
Sea album
$12.49
Though he probably achieved his greatest mainstream recognition backing up Lou Reed on tour, idiosyncratic songbird Antony is a fully established artiste in his own right. Backed by the Johnsons, as on I AM A BIRD NOW, he crafts delicate ballads that skirt the lines between cabaret, artsong, and pop, with the kind of voice that Stephin Merritt would probably kill for. Antony's unique pipes bring to mind an androgynous Bryan Ferry or a high, quavery summit meeting between Jimmy Scott (another Reed supporter) and Aaron Neville. The stately, graceful, largely piano-driven songs on I AM A BIRD ...

| | Cracow Klezmer Band Balan: Book Of Angels Volume 5 CD (2006)
Sea music CDs
$13.39
The first striking thing about the Cracow Klezmer Band's reading of John Zorn's tunes from his Book of Angels, on Balan, is the sound -- crystalline, full of separation and space. The next is Jaroslaw Bester's bayan -- hunted, witchy, signaling from some far-off place to Oleg Dyyak's hand drums, Wojciech Front's double bass, and then the small army of strings provided by the band's own violinist, Jaroslaw Tyrala, and the DAFO String Quartet. They respond as if gathering in some hidden terrain, and begin to dance. And it is about dancing, folks. Thus begins "Zuriel," the first cut from this entrancing, ingenious, and by all means exotic recording. On the following cut, "Suria," the seemingly random guttural vocals of Jorgos Skolias enter into the mix along with Ireneusz Socha's minimal electronics. Skolias becomes an Eastern soul singer by the track's middle as the strings envelope him in ether. On "Kadosh," the track melds traditional klezmer, symphonic cadenzas, and free improvisation ...
