| | Kaki King Legs To Make Us Longer CD - Import Kaki King Discography of CDs
Acoustic-guitar virtuoso Kaki King's sophomore effort improves on the dynamic instrumental compositions of her debut to include a wider range of textures, moods, and ever-evolving structures. King is also backed by a cadre of supremely sensitive musicians on LEGS TO MAKE US LONGER, and the cello, violin, upright bass, and drums add rich, complex color to King's already-sophisticated playing. Except for an electric guitar on the eerily quiet "Can the Gwot Save Us?" and King's under-the-radar singing on "My Insect Life," the spotlight is on the guitarist's stunning technique, which, even through its rapid-fire bass lines and ringing harmonics, never sounds flashy or forced.
Based on the meditative, space-filled opener, "Frame," listeners might associate King's work with the moody, avant-garde ambient jazz often found on the ECM label. The comparison is an apt one--King spins atmospheric landscapes from her fretboard, whether via nimble finger-picking (the spiraling melodies on "Doing the Wrong Thing") or the mathematical, push-pull patterns of "Solipsist." Regardless of her associations, King is a distinctive, accomplished musician. Her instrumental prowess is almost easy to overlook, in fact, because it is employed so artfully in the service of her hypnotic, nuanced, and lovely music.

 $11.35   
NIGHT CASTLE appears just in time for the big 2009 holiday season but don't be fooled: this isn't a Christmas album, even if it's sonically indistinguishable from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other seasonal releases, and the fact that it's been dubbed "Capra-esque" certainly ...

| | Michael Buble Crazy Love CD (2009)
Legs To Make Us Longer
$14.49 
Buoyed by the popularity of the hit contemporary pop ballad "Home," singer Michael Bublé's 2005 album, IT'S TIME, clearly positioned the vocalist as the preeminent neo-crooner of his generation. Easily the singer's most stylistically wide-ranging album so far, 2009's CRAZY LOVE is also one of his brightest, poppiest, and most fun. Bublé kicks things off with the theatrical, epic ballad "Cry Me a River" and proceeds to milk the tune with burnished breath, eking out the drama line by line. It's over the top for sure, but Bublé takes you to the edge of the cliff, prepares to jump, and then gives you a knowing wink that says, not quite yet -- there's more fun to be had. And what fun it is with Bublé swinging through "All of Me," and killin' Van Morrison's classic "Crazy Love" with a light and yearning touch. And just as "Home" worked to showcase Bublé's own writing abilities, here we get the sunshine pop of "Haven't Met You Yet" -- a ...
| | Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)
Legs To Make Us Longer
$12.85 
After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque cover to its joyous backing vocals. Apart from the breakneck "Must Be Santa," which barrelhouses like a barroom, Dylan doesn't really reinterpret these songs as much as simply play them with his crackerjack road band, dropping in a little flair -- restoring "we'll have to muddle through somehow" to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," singing the opening of "O Come All Ye Faithful" in its original Latin -- but never ...
| | Pink Martini Splendor In The Grass CD (2009) Digipak
Legs To Make Us Longer
$13.39
Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward lounge-pop of their debut, SYMPATHIQUE, and the mellowness of '60s and '70s pop. SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS' first half is especially smooth, opening with the beautifully soft Neapolitan ballad "Ninna Nanna" and the title track, on which Forbes sings "I think we should take it slow" over swooping strings, brass, and piano that resurrect the glory days of AM pop; that feeling is echoed by the cover of Joe Raposo's "Sing," the Sesame Street song that gained popularity when the Carpenters performed it (Emilio Delgado, aka Sesame Street's Luis, duets with Forbes here in Spanish and English). The album's first few tracks are among its ...

Tall Paul navigates through a set of progressive house and trance anthems for Ministry of Sound's first installment in their Headliners series, which promises to showcase top DJs spinning sets representative of what they would spin at particular clubs. Relative to the Paul mixes on the Dance Nation albums, this album flows rather well; finally it seems that Ministry of Sound is giving their DJs some freedom rather than forcing play lists ...
