| | Yamamoto Seiichi Baptism CD Yamamoto Seiichi Discography of CDs
Personnel: Yamamoto Seiichi (guitar); Yamamoto Seiichi.
Recording information: Omega Sound, Osaka, Japan.
Baptism is the first purely solo recording by Yamamoto Seiichi. Those listeners familiar with his playing with the Boredoms, Omoide Hatoba, and ROVO may be in for something of a surprise: this is a very subdued, fairly jazzy recording. Seiichi plays with a very clean tone, adding only sustain at times. His playing is an odd mix: the clean tone and general melodicism bring to mind the Jim Halls of the world, but his use of extremely wide intervals and occasional extended techniques betray something of a debt to Derek Bailey. The key is that he never loses a sense of melody and knows the value of silence as a compositional tool. On "Half Tone" and "Step," he makes use of multi-tracking to accompany himself. He mostly sticks to a single-string approach but uses a more chordal style on "Humming" and "Nothing." Subdued and contemplative, Baptism shows a very different side to Seiichi. ~ Sean Westergaard

The Wire (p.69) - "[I]t's an exercise in delicate understatement, in subdued virtuosity, with Yamamoto finding a balance between acute concentration and at least an imitation of languor." Yamamoto Seiichi Baptism Songs Baptism Review

Liner Note Author: Werner Herzog.
Recording information: Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, CA (12/08/2004/12/09/2004).
Arranger: Richard Thompson.
Filmmaker Werner Herzog commissioned legendary guitarist Richard Thompson to compose and perform the musical score for his documentary Grizzly Man, about the life and death of Timothy Treadwell, a man who fled society to live among the grizzly bears in the Alaskan wilderness. In the manner of Thompson's previous film scores, the Grizzly Man album is longer on atmosphere than on songcraft; anyone expecting the British folk-derived melodies of Thompson's most familiar work will be disappointed, though if you love the expressive modalities of his electric guitar playing, there's plenty of them on ...

| | David Byrne Knee Plays CD (2007) Bonus DVD
Baptism
$15.65
Talking Heads fans sometimes have mixed reactions to David Byrne's solo work, complaining that it lacks the quirkiness and edge of classic Heads material. Those fans will have reason to take notice of the 2007 CD release of THE KNEE PLAYS, Byrne's score for Robert Wilson's opera THE CIVIL WARS. Originally recorded in 1985, THE KNEE PLAYS was Byrne's second solo outing, following THE CATHERINE WHEEL (an instrumental score for a dance production) and preceding his Latin experiments on REI MOMO.
Its position in his discography means THE KNEE PLAYS still bears the residue of Byrne's Heads aesthetic, namely in the spirit of its genre-mixing eclecticism. New Orleans brass band sounds form the skeleton of Byrne's score, with gospel, ...

Personnel: Lauren K. Newman (bass guitar).
Audio Mixer: Kris Crummett.
The second in a planned series of three albums, Postulate II takes up where the previous album left off, with one-woman band Laurie K. Newman tackling rough, inspiring grunge/alt-rock and readily making it into her own statement of purpose. Kicking off with "Postulate I" -- quite why this wasn't on the previous album is a mystery, but why explain everything? -- Newman sounds as strong as ever, her vocals a speak-sing statement of purpose that confronts a person, or a situation, with wry anger. It's a good setting of tone for the entire album, which while not constantly fiery in quite that way conveys deep feeling and an edge of sudden desperation as a series of constant themes. Often it's a subtle touch that proves to be the key emotional hook for a song, as with how ...
