"Like Gold" contains a hidden track. Personnel: Erlend Oye (vocals); Marius Dydwad Brandrud (Fender Rhodes piano, bass); Morgan Geist, Minizza, Soviet, Prefuse 73, Bjorn Torske, Kilogram, Mr. Velcro Fastener, Kompis, Jolly Music, Schneider TM. Producers include: Morgan Geist, Keith Ruggiero, Kompis, Erlend Oye, Scott Herren. From the outside looking in, without having heard the music, it seems like Erlend Oye's intent with Unrest was to make an album that defined the antithesis of cohesion. First, there's the title. Second, there's the way this album came together: ten songs from ten cities -- from Berlin to Brooklyn to Barcelona -- with as many producers. And yet, Unrest is as uniform as an album can be, made up of three- to four-minute songs full of somber hooks that can be loosely categorized as very modern synth pop. Everything fits together so ideally that each of the producers (including Prefuse 73, Soviet, Morgan Geist, Schneider TM, and Mr. Velcro Fastener) must have been guided in some form by Oye, who lends his melancholy but confident voice to every song. Most everything is soft focus, slightly downcast, and heavily reliant upon mid-tempo rhythms that are danceable; however, this is definitely a home-listening album, or one that would also work well during a plane or train trip. The amount of time Oye spent traveling from city to city fosters that dimension of the album. He certainly owes a debt his producers, because each one seems to use a similar set of guidelines to come up with tracks that have distinct personalities. The opening "Ghost Trains," produced by Metro Area's Morgan Geist, has a half-Depeche Mode/half-D Train synth hook that stays imbedded in your memory; Mr. Velcro Fastener's turn on "Symptom of Disease" is based on a deep, melodic, adroit rhythm; "The Talk," recorded with Björn Torske, features elements of Chicago house (that lovely piano skip) and Dayton funk (the zapping synth bass), along with the type of vocal turn that wins over those who value a good collision of songcraft and dance-pop. Save for the unfortunate hip-hop slip-up of "Prego Amore," this is an excellent set of mellow electronic pop. ~ Andy Kellman Purchase Unrest CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Paul Butterfield Blues Band CD (1965)
Unrest
$6.19 Live Recording
Personnel: Paul Butterfield (vocals, harmonica); Sam Lay (vocals, drums); Elvin Bishop (guitar); Mike Bloomfield (slide guitar); Jerome Arnold (bass); Mark Naftalin (organ). Includes liner notes by Pete Welding. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band: Michael Bloomfield. Even after his death, Paul Butterfield's music didn't receive the accolades that were so deserved. Outputting styles adopted from Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters among other blues greats, Butterfield became one of the first white singers to rekindle blues music through the course of the mid-'60s. His debut album, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, saw him teaming up with guitarists Elvin Bishop and Mike Bloomfield, with Jerome Arnold on bass, Sam Lay on drums, and Mark Naftalin playing organ. The result was a wonderfully messy and boisterous display of American-styled blues, with intensity and pure passion ...
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Unrest
$6.39 The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion). Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002. You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around her, and when she was looking away, sized her up -- at precisely the same moment Chuck Berry was checking her out. If that doesn't mean that you've broken America, entering its pop culture, I don't know what does, expect for maybe a VH1-endorsed piece of product like Live in Dublin. Lo and behold, that's exactly what the Corrs received in the spring of 2002, a year and a half after "In Blue" and its accompanying single "Breathless" broke down the doors in America ...
| | Drive-By Truckers Southern Rock Opera CDs (2001) Digipak
Unrest
$11.99 Drive-By Truckers: Mike Cooley, Earl Hicks, Brad Morgan, Rob Malone, Patterson Hood. Additional personnel includes: Kelly Hogan, Annie Richmond, Boston. Producers: Drive-By Truckers, Dick Cooper, David Barbe. Includes liner notes by Patterson Hood. Adapter: Lilla Hood. Audio Mixer: David Barbe. Liner Note Author: Patterson Hood. Recording information: Birmingham, AL. Photographers: Patrick Hood; Wes Freed. 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 ...
| | Erlend Oye DJ-Kicks CD (2004) (Import) Germany
Unrest
$13.69 Certainly one of the more curious entries in the long-running DJ-Kicks series, Erlend Oye's edition rounds up the usual batch of tastefully chosen dance records, in this case a range of mainly German, or at least German-sounding, microhouse productions. That in itself isn't particularly curious -- microhouse was certainly the trendy dance sound circa 2004, with German labels like Kompakt and Perlon setting (or more precisely, having set) the trends, while most everyone else followed along. And as this mix illustrates, Oye has a keen ear, residing in Berlin (rather than his native Norway) at the time of this album's release, and he selects several excellent tracks typical of what you'd probably hear out in the more trendsetting techno clubs of that city: Jürgen Paape's "So Weit Wie Noch Nie," Justus Köhncke's "2 After 909," Jackmate's "Airraid," Ricardo Villalobos' "Dexter," Morgan Geist's "Lullaby," and Ada's "Luckycharm." Here's the curious part, though: Oye ...
