| | David Bowie Let's Dance CD David Bowie Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
Though he continued to evolve throughout his career, Bowie's post-SCARY MONSTERS output was markedly less stellar than his acclaimed '70s work. LET'S DANCE, however, is arguably his most memorable '80s recording. It didn't hurt that he reached out to some talented friends, like Stevie Ray Vaughan (who makes his recorded debut here as lead guitarist) and co-writers Iggy Pop ("China Girl") and Peter Godwin (of "Images of Heaven" fame, who helps out on "Criminal World.") Ultimately, though, it's Bowie's unique vision that makes LET'S DANCE a success. His funky, synth-driven avant-pop romps are shot through with a romance and poignancy that sets them apart from much of his later work. "Modern Love," for example, manages to be irresistibly catchy and ostensibly upbeat while depicting alienation and unfulfilled desires.
Recorded at Mountain Studios, Switzerland.

Let's Dance
 $17.57    
Of the "big four" original thrash bands (the other three being Metallica, Anthrax, and Megadeth), Slayer was the least compromising and most consistent. As such, 2009's WORLD PAINTED BLOOD recalled more than the title of Slayer's 1986 masterpiece REIGN IN BLOOD; it shared the earlier album's ferocious aggression and trademark speed metal-meets-hardcore sound. Throughout, the sound is lean and mean, with bassist/vocalist ...
| | John Mayer Battle Studies CD (2009)
Let's Dance
$11.18  
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 blend of synths and Strats, one that's as much about texture as it is about song.something perfectly appropriate for a make-out album like this. Sometimes, Mayer dips too heavily toward the texture, but he can't resist a good, tight melody and builds the bulk of Battle Studies upon them: the elegant "Half of My Heart," the softly soulful "Perfectly Lonely." Here, Mayer is effortlessly seductive and somewhat irresistible, and it's ...

Let's Dance
$11.16
Certain concerts create a legend as soon as the final note ceases to ring. Nirvana's headlining appearance at the 1992 Reading Festival is one of these shows, a concert that arrived at precisely the right moment and stands as testament to a band at the peak of its powers...and right before things started to turn sour within the Nirvana camp. Despite the happy news of the birth of Frances Bean Cobain a mere 12 days before this August 30 festival, rumors swirled around Nirvana right up until the band hit the stage. Kurt Cobain took full advantage of these scurrilous stories, making his entrance in a hospital gown and wheelchair pushed by journalist Everett True. Cobain feebly reached for the microphone to croak out the opening lines of "The Rose," only to collapse onto the stage, milking the drama for a moment before leading Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl through a ferocious "Breed." This impish sense of humor has been obscured over the years, lost under the weight of the band's tragic legacy, along with the fact that Nirvana could actually be fun as well as furious. Live at Reading brings all this roaring back. This is Nirvana's ...

$11.94
By the time of this, its eighth album, in 1974, Procol Harum had weathered the departure of several key members. The band's previous release, GRAND HOTEL, was its first after the departure of guitarist Robin Trower. EXOTIC BIRDS & FRUIT is a more polished affair and a return to form for the band.

| | Forest For The Trees CD (Import) Hong Kong
Let's Dance
$11.79
Carl Stephenson, the co-conspirator with Beck on that artist's MELLOW GOLD album, is heard on this set of intelligent pop in his Forest For The Trees incarnation.
A sympathizer might call Forest for the Trees a psychedelic album, but a detractor would probably resort to the term "total mess." Forest for the Trees tries to be everything at once and ends up being nothing at all, pleasing only those who favor "interesting in theory" collage-oriented music over some semblance of catchy songs. In this album, he mixes harmonica, drum machine beats, "heavy metal" guitar, bagpipes, female backup singers, and raps into one big stew. Sure, Stephenson tries to turn Forest for the Trees into a wild party, but instead he has constructed a panel discussion full of hip in-jokes and goofy concepts that fall flat. ~ Kembrew McLeod
1997 release, unavailable domestically. Forest for the Trees is the brainchild of Carl Stephenson, the co-writer/producer of Beck's ''Loser'' single, as ...

| | Roseline Wall Behind It CD (2007)
Let's Dance
$12.65
At the core of The Roseline is singer/songwriter Colin Halliburton - hushed voiced, melodic and tuneful, possessed of an easy going view on life`s fleeting joys. With a wispy roots sound that incorporates elements of traditional and alt. country the band works from Halliburton`s acoustic guitar and voice outward. Light drums, bass and piano provide accompaniment that recalls the most roots-bare moments of acts like The Pernice Brothers, Whiskeytown and The Jayhawks. Guests add touches of electric and pedal-steel guitar to good effect, and there are some well place backing vocals courtesy of Julia Peterson. But from start to finish, Halliburton rides a mid-tempo wind of intelligent songwriting that has great warmth, ...
