| | James Brown's Funky Christmas CD James Brown Discography of CDs
One doesn't generally associate the Godfather of Soul with Christmas music, but in fact, James Brown recorded a fair amount of yuletide offerings. This collection of seasonal soul draws its selections mainly from 1968's SOULFUL CHRISTMAS and 1966's JAMES BROWN AND HIS FAMOUS FLAMES SING CHRISTMAS SONGS. This is no schmaltzy holiday fare, though. Though Brown takes a turn at the venerated "Christmas Song," most of the tunes here are original compositions that bear his unmistakable mark. "Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto" (one of Brown's many contenders for best song title of all time) injects a socially conscious message into the proceedings. The blues track "Merry Christmas Baby" turns out to be a natural for Brown, who does his best slow burn on the tune. The lengthy "Let's Make Christmas Mean Something This Year" is a tour de force that features a spoken message from Brown, who revels in the joys of Christmas and urges his listeners to put some genuine thought and emotion into their holiday rituals.
Holiday compilation featuring funky yuletide tunes by the Godfather Of Soul. At his superstar peak in the 1960s and early '70s, Brown tried to appeal to several constituencies on his many LPs, and the Christmas market was not neglected. Indeed, for a while, he was on a regular schedule: this 17 track compilation includes selections from seasonal albums cut by J.B. in 1966, 1968, and 1970. Includes 'Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto', 'Christmas In Heaven' and 'Please Come Home For Christmas'. Spectrum.

Francis "Scrapper" Blackwell was one of Robert Johnson's primary inspirations. Born in February 1903 in Indianapolis to parents of African and Cherokee ancestry, he developed his blues guitar technique during the 1920s while specializing in the distribution of bootleg liquor. Hard Time Blues, a Scrapper Blackwell sampler released by Acrobat Records in 2003, covers a timeline from 1928 to 1935 with eight solo Blackwell performances followed by ten duets with pianist Leroy Carr. Unlike Bad Liquor Blues, a similarly packaged but more varied Blackwell ...

GEODESIUM (pronounced Gee-oh-dee-zee-um)A blending of the words "geodesic dome" and "planetarium"describing the environment which gave birth to the space music of Mark C. Petersen.Mark is unquestionably the most prolific composer for the medium, and the GEODESIUM name has become synonymous with planetarium music. Since 1978, more than 800 planetaria around the world have purchased Mark's original planetarium music for their shows, and GEODESIUM albums are popular items in planetarium gift shops.Mark uses Emulator and synthesizer sounds, blended in a rich, varied collection of original instrumental works. Relaxing yet provocative, GEODESIUM stylings embody "traditional" space music -- that ethereal, beautifully floating music that characterizes the genre -- as well as "new age"-style works and up-tempo, rhythmic sonic odysseys.In this 2001 release, Mark blends more than 26 compositions from the best of his planetarium soundtrack work over the past two decades. Avid Geodesium fans may recognize some familiar themes among the works comprising this thought-provoking retrospective album; four tracks revisit selections from "Anasazi" and "Fourth Universe", but this time in richer, more complex and satisfying detail. Both the up-tempo star flights as well as the floating journeys into deep space nebulosities that are the hallmarks of the Geodesium style are represented in this 62-minute, must-have disc!=============================================REVIEWERS HAD THIS TO SAY:"This is a monumental achievement in the annals of electronic music. Mark began performing in the pre-digital days so this set includes deep sequences, light sequences, cosmic atmospheres and gentle minimalism. And, while there are some dark passages and sinister riffs, this is not a dark album. It is, in general, a fairly happy set." -- Jim Brenholts, author of "Tracks Across the Universe: A Chronology of Ambient and Electronic Music" --------------------------------------"They say that beauty is in the details. If so, then "Stellar Collections" is very beautiful indeed. Petersen shows a fine sense of detail in the way brings tonal elements and subtle effects in and out of the mix. And, unlike many others in the space-music genre, he shows a great gift for harmonic structure. He moves between chord structures and keys ...
