This album recorded by Irish Celtic folk rock band Clannad features ten songs including "Theme From Harry's Game" and "Tower Hill."
In the US, the progressive Irish folk group Clannad is best known for two things. The first is being the older siblings of new age star Enya (who was in the group briefly, singing on their breakthrough 1982 album FUAIM, to which 1983's MAGICAL RING is the follow-up). The second is composing one song, "Harry's Game," which became a freak hit in the early '90s after being used in a widely seen Volkswagen commercial.
That song, originally written for a British TV movie, is the leadoff track here. With its floating keyboard lines, lovely minor-key melody, and reverb-heavy overdubbed wordless harmonies, it defines the style Clannad would refine for the rest of their career. Not at all far from what pop artists like Kate Bush and the Cocteau Twins were experimenting with at the time, the experimental but relentlessly lovely music on MAGICAL RING is as rooted in pop and new age music at least as much as it is in Celtic folk.
Digitally remastered from the original 1/4 inch master tapes. Includes bonus tracks & new remixes. Booklet has extensive sleeve notes by Stuart Bailie & rare photos.

X-Ray Spex is notable for a number of reasons. Chiefly, it was one of the very few bands UK punk bands with female members. One of the group's distinguishing characteristics is their decidedly un-punk use of saxophones. Most importantly, though, X-Ray Spex's first effort is actually a good record!
Fronted by Marion Elliot, who called herself Poly Styrene in those days, Spex managed to capture something that many punk rock bands missed. They always sounded like they were having a really great time. Many of the lyrics deal with appearance and perception ("Identity," "I Can't Do Anything," "I A ClichT"), and most are quite funny, sung in Elliot's proudly unschooled, nasal voice. The music is based on standard-issue buzzing punk guitar and propulsive drumming but also features Rudi Thompson's clever, aggressive sax. Though the CD mysteriously re-sequences the track listing of the original vinyl, it more than compensates by adding four bonus songs-including both sides of the band's brilliant debut single, "Oh Bondage, Up Yours!" This album defines one glorious moment in a musical revolution and is required listening for anyone with an interest in punk.
The late-1970s UK band X-Ray Spex is notable for a number of reasons. Chiefly, it was one of the very few early British punk bands with female members. Another of the group's distinguishing characteristics is their decidedly un-punk use of saxophone. Most importantly, though, X-Ray Spex's first effort, GERM FREE ADOLESCENTS is a thoroughly engaging record.

KENSHAKA ALI, vocalist, actor, director, professor, first started taking interest in singing after being taught sight reading by Walter Turnball, Founding Director of Boys Choir of Harlem. Born and raised two blocks from the World Famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem, right in the Mecca of the Black Arts movement where theatres, clubs, and bookstores were everywhere, Kenshaka was hit by the entertainment bug at a young age. He was an errand boy at the Apollo and would get free entry for bringing meals and beverages to the performers and backstage workers. He had center stage seats for every music legend who ever played the Apollo; it became his second home. His career as an actor began when he got caught playing on the rooftop of the Afro American Studio for Acting and Speech located right down the street from the St. Nicholas projects where he lived. When he was brought into the theatre and walked pass a rehearsal going on, he ...
