Japanese exclusive compilation for the critically acclaimed Scottish folk-rock act featuring 13 audio tracks & 4 videos, 'Melanie', 'Baby You're So Fine', 'Revolution (In The Summertime)' & 'The Pain Inside' (remix). 2001 release housed in a gatefold digipak.

Still reveling in this Scottish group's improbably innocent, mellifluous, untouched 'n' unspoiled debut LP, Enjoy the Melodic Sunshine? Want more of the exact same? Pure Escapism is a handy compendium of their 11 very similar B-sides and two alternative versions, making for something of a side three and four of the proper LP! OK, the last two-thirds of this is like a slightly lighter version of CRR, as on track after track they reach for the picking of acoustic guitars as an even more ringing-pop idea of their melodious tunes. But the style is otherwise unchanged on winsome little numbers such as "Camera Shy," the lovely "Universal Thing," and "Your Eyes." And in the early going, when they actually stick to the LP's ringing electrics, the results are once again marvelous: The surprisingly harsher, just as catchy, Teenage Fanclub-ish "I Got Over You" is a bigtime winner that quite frankly should have found a place on Enjoy. Likewise, "Annie" is chiming goodness, and the remix of "The Pain Inside" is totally worthwhile (cleaner and thus very different) for a change, instead of the usual "who cares" cheap rip-off remixes that either fail to change the songs enough or alter them beyond all recognition. Of course, it's hard to track down an Epic International-only copy of this, but as such items are, this is tons cheaper and quicker than hunting down the individual EPs. And it comes with all four videos too, if you can access the files. A little global internet shopping is clearly in order. ~ Jack Rabid

Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD  (2009)

Pure Escapism album
CD $9.58  SALE 5 stars Top 10
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 Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," and a version of "Daydream Believer" that is easily ...

Like the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL franchise, GLEE became more than a TV show when several of its songs cracked the Hot 100, including the number four hit "Don't Stop Believing." That song kicks off this soundtrack, the first in a series of albums cataloging the music performed by the show's cast. Not all GLEE members are created equal--some cast mates are far better actors than singers--but this soundtrack has enough star power to keep things trucking along, especially when powerhouse alto Lea Michele takes the wheel. She sounds fantastic throughout, whether she's holding ...

Pure Escapism album
CD $13.19  Top 500 Audio Samples
With a sludgy, chainsaw guitar sound that owes as much to early Black Sabbath as to Kurt Cobain's heroes The Melvins, whose drummer puts in an appearance here, Nirvana emerges from Seattle's underground scene as standard-bearers of a style that embraces the anger and energy of punk alongside the thick, muddy sonic attack favored by early '70s proto-metal bands. Cobain's lyrics are fueled by outrage and self-loathing, combining literary flair with a direct, visceral quality that makes him a viable candidate for the John-Lennon-of-Gen X award. Nirvana's debut album showcases what sounds more like a force of nature than a rock band. The unrelenting fervor with which the group delivers these 13 tunes is almost frightening. There is also a strong melodic flair that leavens the ferocity occasionally, hinting at the scope of Cobain's compositional talents. "Love Buzz" and ...
