The Claudias, Gulfstream, The Rosie Singers, Wednesday (background vocals).
Named after Godard's 1959 science-fiction masterpiece and heavily influenced by '80s synth bands like Depeche Mode, Alphaville was the Munich-based trio of Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens. Their 1984 debut, FORVER YOUNG, features somber but catchy synth-pop not unlike late Ultravox. Three songs-- the title track, "The Jet Set" and "Sounds Like A Melody"--were sizeable hits, and a fourth, the brooding and atmospheric "Big In Japan" (ostensibly about heroin addiction) was a worldwide Top Ten smash. Unfortunately, by the time of Alphaville's 1986 follow-up, synth-pop was no longer a chart concern, and the trio quickly faded from sight.
Remastered pressing. At last, here are the complete Bell recordings, including the rare Quincy Jones produced take on ‘What the World Needs Now’ and Merrilee's amazing trippy version of the Motown classic ‘Reach Out...I'll Be There’; apparently inspired by hearing Vanilla Fudge's overhaul of ‘You Keep Me Hanging On’, on the car radio one rainy night on tour - an amazing slice of Memphis pop Soul with a twist! Rev-Ola. 2006.
Recorded at Studio 54, Berlin, Germany between July and August 1984.
Alphaville: Marian Gold (vocals); Bernhard Lloyd, Frank Mertens (various instruments).
Additional personnel: Ralph Vornberger (vocals); String Section of the Deutsche Oper, Berlin (strings); Ken Taylor (bass); Curt Cress (drums);

$14.95
Rock'n'Roll Drum Beat contains 30 songs Nelson did for Imperial in the early 1960s taken from singles and LP tracks. One might logically assume from that that this should be a satisfactory best-of album, but hold on there -- although it does have one of his two big hit singles, "Let There Be Drums," it doesn't have the other one, "Teen Beat" (which was done for ...

Forever Young songs
$9.69
Originally recorded in 1994, the master tapes for SINGS BOB WILLS were confiscated from Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studio by the Internal Revenue Service. After a lengthy legal battle, the CD was finally cleared for release in 2000.
This is a repackaged version of Time Changes Everything, an album with a curious history. It represented a comeback attempt for Johnny Bush after years of vocal problems. He organized a session in which his regular band, the Bandoleros, was augmented by a horn section to record a tribute to Bob Wills and cut it at Willie Nelson's studio in the early '90s. Unfortunately, that was just when Nelson experienced ...

$11.49 | | A C Cotton Notes For The Conversation CD (2004)
Forever Young album
$16.45
A.C. Cotton is a no-nonsense Americana rock & roll band, bringing to mind the heydays of groups like the Connells and the BoDeans. This is made clear on the tight power pop/rock of "Midnight Knees" as lead singer and songwriter Alan Charing steers the group down a lovely roots rock road. The band is just as successful on the swampy, Southern fried ditty "Walt," which sounds like the Black Crowes circa Amorica. Another tune that is quite pleasing is the slower Tom Petty-meets-Keith Richards "See You Again," a perfectly executed tune that strolls along. The jangle on each song is another plus, especially on the long-titled "The Pony Show (Or the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility") that sounds eerily like Canadian act the Odds. The group gets into a quasi-rock hoedown on the rockabilly-tinged "This Is Where It Is," resembling a mountain version of the Stray Cats. But "Syndication Plantation Fire" doesn't quite hit the mark as it winds around a clichéd arrangement that it seems John Fogerty perfected long ago. The low point comes during "Hanging Day in Claytown," a track that is knee-deep in Texas blues but falls quite flat quite quickly. The fact it's over in less than 90 seconds means it was an unfinished idea best left off the record. Petty circa "Mary Jane's Last Dance" is the cornerstone of "40 Days," especially with its crisp guitar riffs. Perhaps the best moment on the record is "Over And Done." a downbeat song that recalls the best of Blue Rodeo and Wilco. Here the band takes its good old time getting its message across with a pinch of piano in the distance. They venture down the rockabilly, boogie road with a hell-raising "Rabbit Rabbit." ~ Jason MacNeil
A.C. Cotton's 2001 release, "half way down," received plenty of praise. Magnet, No Depression, and All Music Guide, among many others, all wrote positive reviews of the record. Now, in 2004, the band is ready to hit fans and critics alike with their new record, "Notes for the Conversation" (Ahab Was Right Records), an album filled with fourteen tracks of hard-hitting rock 'n' roll.The last three years have been spent touring the west coast, making new fans, fighting, replacing band members, and further developing their musical style. In between all of that, somehow, the band found time to write and record "Notes ...

As a young child, Sophie has strong memories of falling asleep to the jazz bands that would play at her parents numerous musical parties, and an innate musical sense was born.After a musically rebellious teenage era, at the age of 17 Sophie expressed her desire to be a jazz singer to her father, who promptly ...
