| | Ssab Songs CD Ssab Songs Discography of CDs
SSAB are the duo of Brian Degraw and screenwriter and film director Harmony Korine. This CD contains only one 27-minute track, but at least it's a good one, with what seems like a bunch of shorter pieces segued together. SSAB's music consists of lots of free-for-all clanking and pounding on percussions and different stringed instruments, mixed with bits of samples and electronic collage, as well as some weird singing and chanting that sounds like an Appalachian take on the Residents, circa 1974. It seems to represent the dark, twisted underside of America retching up from the nightmare bowels of a primordial swamp. At times it's noisy and filled with dissonance like in one section where a symphonic opera blares in the background. At others it moves at a more relaxed loping pace, and then all of a sudden a harmonica and banjo will bring it into earthy folk territory, but with a Deliverance-like slant. It gets even more dark and creepy towards the end with the fundamentalist preacher droning in the background. ~ Rolf Semprebon

Purchase Ssab Songs CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
Ssab Songs album
 $9.58     
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with covers of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," the ...
| | Jimmy Buffett Buffet Hotel CD (2009)
Ssab Songs CD music
$9.74 
Since Jimmy Buffett never leaves his comfort zone, it's hard to call 2009's Buffet Hotel a return to roots but, in a way, it is. Discounting the mock rap on "Turn Up the Heat and Chill the Rosé," this album doesn't even have the lingering country and reggae flavors that seasoned 2006's Take the Weather with You, with all of the songs riding a cool, mellow country-rock wave, the kind that has been his stock-in-trade since the `70s. There's a difference between being part of a tradition and being stuck in the past and Buffett is surely in the former, not shying away from the new millennial mess, admitting that we all have "A Lot to Drink ...
| | Mark Knopfler Get Lucky CD (2009)
Ssab Songs music CDs
$15.65 
With the release of GET LUCKY, Mark Knopfler has made as many solo studio albums as he made group studio albums with Dire Straits, which itself may be a signal that it's time to stop comparing his two careers and simply accept them as separate entities. Of course, since Knopfler was the lead singer, chief instrumentalist, and songwriter for Dire Straits, there ...
| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CD (2009)
Ssab Songs songs
$8.79
Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, perverse march "Teeth." Even the stuttering splices on "Telephone," a ...

1: Noche en OrtigiaOrtigia is an island that is an old and lovely part of a bigger and ancient city in Sicily "Siracusa", it refers to a night spent with friends walking and talking between the little streets of the old town, relaxing. 2: Seis is a Portuguese word, think of Portuguese mood. 3: Marzamemi is a little town in Sicily. The track refers to a somewhat languid mood experienced there. 4: Rumbita is a Spanish word - a little rumba, the Spanish. As a contrast here I do not play Flamenco guitar, but the Tzouras, which is a Greek instrument, the smaller version of the Bouzouki, which has 6 strings instead of 8, created by Greek seasonal workers to travel and take it with them. 5: Sabucina is a sacred mountain in the center of the Sicily, just a suggestion towards a less known part of Sicily and Sicilian soul. 6: Gaddimeli is a land, in a country near the sea, near a big tourist town. I thought of it because there are some little roads crossing there, it's the kind of beautiful and relaxed place which we cross when in the car, going from one place to another, without stopping or thinking to it, a bit like in life when we work too much and don't live for the ...
