Who said pop was dead? Mexico's Volovan obviously doesn't think so. Their self-titled album oozes pop, but more of the Eric Matthews or Cardinal school than anything else. Gliding harmonies, airy changes, and hanging Fender Rhodes chords keep the music suspended above the ground, and on "Violines" they add some wonderfully luscious strings into the mix. Of course, they don't ignore guitars, but rather than propelling the songs, they become part of the overall fabric. Thankfully, the record isn't over-produced into slickness, which could easily have been the case, and the ragged edges make it all the more appealing. Spanish lyrics add a little mystery for gringo audiences. It might not set the world on fire, but it's a strong start for a band who could go places in the future (and keep listening at the end for the hidden track). ~ Chris Nickson

With THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, director Peter Jackson has achieved a meticulous and captivating adaptation of the first book of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy trilogy. The setting is Middle-earth, a mythological land populated by elves, dwarves, humans, and the gentle, diminutive hobbits upon whom the story centers. One hobbit, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), unexpectedly comes into possession of an ancient magical ring so powerful it invariably corrupts anyone who wears it. In order to prevent the ring's erstwhile owner, the dark lord Sauron, from reclaiming the ring and taking over Middle-earth, a motley band of comrades ...

Volovan CD music
$16.95
Fairport Convention officially disbanded in 1979, only to become the hosts of a yearly folk festival/reunion concert every August in England. This album is taken from their August 15, 1981 show, featuring core original Fairport members Simon Nicol and Richard Thompson plus original female singer Judy Dyble, plus later members Dave Swarbrick, Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks, and Bruce Rowland, and it's a good recapitulation of the band's style, with such numbers new to their repertoire as Bob Dylan's "Country Pie" and Thompson's "Woman or a Man." The presence of Dyble alone was something of a history ...
| | Kaleidoscope Faintly Blowing CD (1969) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Germany
Volovan music CDs
$18.39
FAINTLY BLOWING, the 12 track album from 1960s British band Kaleidoscope (not the American band), features "Poem," "Story From Tom Bitz," and "Opinion."
This CD also contains six bonus tracks--"Do It Again For Jeffrey" (bonus Track), "Poem" (Single Version), "Balloon," "If You So Wish" (Mono Single Version), "Let The World Wash In," and "Mediaeval Masquerade."
For their second album, Kaleidoscope delivered something an awful lot like their debut, a body of pleasant, trippy, spacy raga-rock, with the main difference that they pushed the wattage a little harder on their instruments -- they'd also been performing pretty extensively by the time of their second long-player, and a lot of the music here was material that ...

| | 8Ball & MJG Ridin High CD (2007) Parental Advisory
Volovan album
$15.65
8ball & MJG (or Eightball & MJG, as they used to call themselves) have been the kings of Memphis rap for quite some time now, even going so far as to refer to themselves as "living legends." That's not exactly an overstatement. They've inspired countless Southern rappers and helped to foster a strong hip-hop community in their home city, and now, signed to Bad Boy Records, they're able to reach an even wider audience. Their second album on Diddy's label, Ridin High, is a super-produced tribute to the things the duo love best: drugs, money, and women (there's even a song titled "Alcohol Pussy Weed"). From the first single, "Relax and Take Notes" (featuring a Biggie line from "Dead Wrong," not any new material from the deceased rapper), to "Worldwide" to "30 Rock" (the only track to have a non-Southerner guest, this one being Mr. Combs himself), 8 and MJ rhyme their way through heavy synth crunk beats and smooth slow jams. Their lines aren't revolutionary -- the kind of typical braggadocio so much associated with hip-hop at this point -- but their delivery is fluid and well practiced, their cadences moving from singsongy triplets to rough and fast eighth notes easily, and only occasionally do their rhymes really fall short (the best example being, from the Jazze Pha-produced "Pimpin' Don't Fail Me Now," "I'm about to turn you inside out/I'm about to look into your heart though your mouth/With my dickoscope"). Listeners familiar with 8ball & MJG will probably be a little disappointed with Ridin High: it's more focused on club anthems than the group has been before, but it's this same thing that should make the album appeal to those looking for good, commercial Southern rap. The duo is aware of this transition, and the ever-growing popularity of their ...
