 (2 Customer Reviews)
Long before they had pop hits in the late-1980s, Aussie Iva Davies and his outfit Icehouse started off as a moody rock band influenced by the glam of the 1970s. 1982's PRIMITIVE MAN, the act's second release painted an aural landscape of artful music.
As an oboe/guitar player involved in electro popular music, it's no surprise Iva Davies took to Roxy Music, especially on "Street Café" and the mega-hit "Hey Little Girl," which duly landed in no less than 13 European Top Ten singles charts, going all the way in Switzerland. An album of atmospheres, "Great Southern Land" evokes images of Australia's arid interior, while "Trojan Blue" conjures up medieval Italy or France. "Mysterious Thing" continues Primitive Man's mood, and produces what may be the best line in ambient white funk recorded! Running orders for the album fluctuate; Australian editions swapped "Love in Motion" for the rockier "Break These Chains" (vice versa in the U.K.). Finishing up is an excellent reworking of "Goodnight Mr. Mathews," which had earlier appeared on the Steve Nye single-only version of "Love in Motion" (itself re-recorded less successfully). Primitive Man (aka Love in Motion in the U.K.) is still one his finest recordings. Those seeking out the CD are also blessed with the inclusion of "Over the Line," hitherto only available on Fresco and the singles box set, the original 12" of "Girl," and the German version of "Uniform." ~ Kelvin Hayes

Disc 2 contains sax & guitar solos played during performances of '21st Century Schizoid Man'.
This compilation presents two very different views into the performance life of King Crimson.

The second disc, subtitled "Schizoid Men," contains a single 54-minute rendering of "21st Century Schizoid Man" that consists of ten separate sax and guitar solos seamlessly combined together. ...

| | Angie Stevens I'm Okay CD (2005)
Primitive Man songs
$12.15
"... this album is a stunningly diverse patchwork neatly woven inside a traditional framework ... 'I'm Okay' is a do-it-yourself masterpiece: a star that shines this brightly won't be a secret long." Xposur Magazine, April 2005Angie Stevens delivers a time-warped trip through America's backroads, a melange of rhythms and sounds that tap into populist (as opposed to "pop") music past and present. For anyone who grew up listening to music in the 50s and 60s, there will be a sense of familiarity. It echoes a time when elemental music was defining the essence of rock and country. Shades of slow swing ballads playing in 3/4 time on the jukebox at the local dive bar; Grand Ole Opry broadcasts crackling on the radio on a humid summer night; storytelling songs being shared on a porch in Appalachia; stripped down rhythms whomping against black-painted basement walls.For listeners whose musical references are primarily contemporary, Stevens will take them away from heavily produced MTV fare and into a world of exposed emotions delivered with unadorned impact. Stevens's recorded work keeps it simple. Her live shows pack a visceral wallop."Life is my biggest influence. I write for the confused young girls who sit in their rooms and cry. I know what it's like to rise above the ashes and what it's like to endure the worst of life. The best part is that I've also endured the best. I take nothing for granted, and live each day with passion pouring into everything I do."Stevens grew up in South Dakota. "I picked up a guitar when I was ten, fascinated by how something made of wood could understand my depressed brother more than any person I knew. I was drawn to it, but after he committed suicide the next year at age 21, I didn't go back to it until I was sixteen. I had his Fender Stratocaster (my mom gave away his acoustic, and we still kick ourselves for that) and I began to play to accompany my poetry. The words I wrote for the hard life I had lived. The words I wrote for him."She headed to Minnesota for college, but didn't stay. "I was on my way to California to pursue my dreams, got sidetracked by a love affair, and there I was in Colorado."She's ...

“SAXOLOLLAPALOOZA = MASSIVE SAXOPHONES!”What do you get when you cross six of Los Angeles best jazz saxophonists, the drummer from the legendary band Weather Report and Grammy nominated composer/arranger Frank Macchia?

Macchia arranged and produced the material, which is an eclectic mix of New Orleans second line feel, samba, funk, swing and ballad genres. Says Jazziz Magazine of Macchia, “an inventive composer and arranger who deserves comparisons to Gil Evans and Pat Metheny.”Macchia has worked with Van Dyke Parks, Ella Fitzgerald, Brian Wilson, Clare Fisher, Yes, the Tonight Show Band and composed and orchestrated on numerous films and television shows. He received a Grammy nomination in 2007 for his arrangement of Black Is the Color of My True Love’s Hair from his CD Emotions.Frank Macchia Biography:Born and raised in San Francisco, CA., Frank started on the clarinet at the age of ten years old.
