| | Afro Celt Sound System Seed CD - Import Afro Celt Sound System Discography of CDs
Additional personnel includes: Jesse Cook (guitar); Martin Hayes (fiddle); Jah Wobble (bass); Hossam Ramzy (tabla, shaker).
Previously known as the Afro Celt Sound System, the band has shortened its name to Afro Celts and has become a more mature incarnation of its former self. As the name implies, the group offers up an unlikely pairing of West African and Celtic music, with the diverse ensemble managing to make this merger seem completely natural. Boasting world class musicians who hail mostly from Africa and the UK and have performed with the likes of Van Morrison and Peter Gabriel, the band uses a startling array of instruments and guest musicians in rich, orchestral fashion. The title track features African chanting and slide guitar, while on "Deep Channel," fiddle, guitars, and mandolin pluck away to brisk techno beats, as the Javanese flute soars mightily above. "Ayub's Song" and "As You Were" feature fiddles, Uilleann pipes, nyatiti (an African harp), double bass, and brush darbouka (a Turkish drum). It may seem like an almost overwhelming blend of sonic elements, but the artistry and the spirit of the Afro Celts' sound is undeniably wonderful.

| | Nirvana Bleach CD (1989) Deluxe; Deluxe Edition
Seed album
$12.78
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 ...

| | Blue States Nothing Changes Under The Sun CD (2001) (Import) Import; United Kingdom
Seed music CDs
$19.69
Downtempo chillness is the order of the late, late night on this album from England's Blue States.
Andy Dragazis, aka Blue States, creates an organic, electronic mini-symphony on Nothing Changes Under the Sun. Both Dragazis' choice for a band name and the album's title describe the release perfectly. Dragazis employs lo-fi, fuzzy synth sounds to create peaceful, relaxing instrumental soundscapes, interlaced with skittering breakbeats and layers of tension. Echoes of Ennio Morricone-style Western motifs float around randomly, as Dragazis approaches melodies, discards them, and returns to them on later tracks. ...
