Named after Godard's 1959 science-fiction masterpiece and heavily influenced by '80s synth bands like Depeche Mode, Alphaville was the Munich-based trio of Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens. Beginning and ending with brief, atmospheric synthesizer instrumentals, their second album AFTERNOONS IN UTOPIA investigates somber but catchy synth-pop not unlike late Ultravox, including the title track and "Red Rose." These are counterbalanced by more peculiar fare like the impenetrable "Carol Masters" and the intriguing, seven-minute "Lassie Come Home." The singles "Dance With Me" and "Fantastic Dream" were club hits, but by the time of this album's 1986 release, synth-pop was no longer a chart concern, and Alphaville quickly faded from sight.

Afternoons In Utopia music CDs
$12.95 
It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." Mayer remains somewhat of a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest in the big AOR stylings of Journeyman, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step, creating a coolly clean ...
| | The Very Best Of Enya CDs (2009) With DVD
Afternoons In Utopia songs
$21.00 
Comprised of 18 tracks culled from the singer/composer's first three decades, The Very Best of Enya was pieced together by the artist herself, along with longtime collaborators Nicky and Roma Ryan. Luckily, the trio seems enamored by most of the same songs that the general public is, resulting in one of those rare "greatest-hits" collections that goes deep without depriving the listener of the essentials. With tunes like "Orinoco Flow," "Caribbean Blue," and "Book of Days" in the pot and out of the way, it's easier to appreciate hidden gems like ...

| | Non Credo Happy Wretched Family CD (1995)
Afternoons In Utopia music CDs
$17.75 
Superb, simply superb, but also disorienting and disquieting: that's Happy Wretched Family, Non Credo's second album, seven years after Reluctant Hosts. The avant-pop format found on the first LP has evolved into twisted shards of pop intermingled with improvisation and experimentation. The voice of Kira Vollman remains the center of attention. The first track, "Sporco Mutande," is sung a cappella and illustrates her very wide operatic range. Her vocal palette lies somewhere between Fatima Miranda and Diamanda Galas. Arrangements are polyphonic and complex, and include keyboards, drums, percussion, clarinet, cello, and tapes. Vollman and partner Joseph Berardi handle all instruments, with Bernard Sauser-Hall playing extra keyboards on three tracks. Every piece is a little gem that has been polished for three years. The numerous overdubs give the impression of being in the presence of a ten-piece ensemble -- there is a lot happening. They reach peaks on "Curious Couplings" (haunting melody), the strange half-awake dream "Piano Urine," and "Miliza Three Flights Down" (with improvised nonsense vocals where Vollman turns into a female version of Phil Minton). Compared to Reluctant Hosts, ...

Donny "D-M.A.U.B." Harper is Dedicated to Making All Underestimaters Believers......it's what his name stands for. Like most thrown onto to the platform of ministering the word of God, this young man has seen his share of trials and tribulations. When his childhood friend, Robert "Lazarus" Smith pulled him aside and introduced him to Christ, Donny took the role full on. Tragically losing his mother in 1997, D-M.A.U.B. finally saw that there was more to life than what he had been doing. He accepted the invitation and started turning a skill he has always possessed to glorify God and spread his awesome testimony of coming through tough struggles. He wants people to know that we can have fun and draw men to Christ through his lyrics and beats. But most of all he desires to draw all to Christ. He's also known as the #1 "YOUNG CUT-T , which stands for Courageously Upholding The Truth. When D-M.A.U.B. talks, people listen, they relate, they think and things change!!D-M.A.UB. has had the pleasure of ministering alongside national recording artists Nicole C. Mullen, Bootsy Collins, Karen Clark and Kierra Sheard, Electric Church, Mars Ill,k-Drama and Tye Tribbett and G.A. He also has submitted his voice to local commercials such as Deveroes clothing store. He has also participated in the annual Family Fest by WAKW in Cincinnati Ohio and the Queen City Fusion BET/Soundstage in 2004. D-M.A.U.B. has also appeared on the Sony Playstation ...
