Mana MTV Unplugged CD (1999)

Orchid II album

$7.59

MTV UNPLUGGED was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance. From the triumphant opening of the first tune and ensuing applause, it's clear that this is one of the finer UNPLUGGED sets to be found. Mexico's own Mana bring their stirring brand of pop-rock to MTV's stage with grace and a healthy dose of fun. A lush string section ...

Shao Rong Orchid CD (2001)

Orchid II CD music

$12.59

ORCHID features beautiful original instrumental compositions played on the pipa--a four-string lute--by one of China's leading musicians, Shao Rong. The pipa is an unusual instrument that uses microtonal scales and a unique warping technique that mimics the expressiveness of the human voice. Its sound has long been a staple of traditional Chinese music. On ORCHID, Rong's silvery tones alternate trance-pop numbers with traditional compositions. Producer Seiichi Kyoda, a respected Japanese musician with the renowned world-fusion group Uttara-Kuru, has written all the music on ORCHID except for the folk piece "Precious Moon," and has produced the material with surprising results. ...

La Oreja De Van Gogh Lo Que Te Conte Mientras Te Hacias La Dormida CD (2003)

Orchid II album

$9.99

LO QUE TE CONTE MIENTRAS TE HACIAS LA DORMIDA was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album. Although at first listen La Oreja de Van Gogh's third release might sound like a slick rehashing of the same pop formula that had brought the group consistent commercial success, Lo Que Te Conté Mientras Te Hacías la Dormida (What I Told You While You Pretended to Be Asleep) merits closer attention. Beyond some similarities to their earlier work -- nostalgic lyrics, ridiculously catchy choruses, and lead singer Amaia Montero's seemingly fragile delivery -- this album displays far greater emotional and musical range than do their earlier efforts. Montero and keyboard player Xabi San Martín continue to write most of the music, and guitar player Pablo Benegas most of the lyrics, but there are some notable exceptions, like album opener and first single "Puedes Contar Conmigo" (You Can Count on Me), written entirely by Montero. Here she abandons any former posturing as a helpless little girl and sings not about a fairy tale, but about love that's flawed and recognizable; when the final chorus slows, the spare outline of Montero's voice shapes a real and exquisite moment of heartbreak. In "Tú y Yo," a collaboration among all three musicians, the lyrics are simpler than elsewhere, but with their wry and modern self-awareness, they are also cleverer. San Martín takes full credit for "Geografía," a song without ...

Javon Jackson Now CD (2006)

Orchid II CD music

$13.69

Tenor-saxophonist Javon Jackson's Now is a bit surprising, being a modern soul-jazz set rather than hard bop, with Jackson (who normally hints strongly at Joe Henderson) sounding close at times to Grover Washington, Jr. Actually, other than two throwaway R&B vocal tracks, the music is quite rewarding. While some of the structures ...

Len Graham When I Was Young: Children's Songs From Ireland CD (1999)

Orchid II music CDs

$14.75

A sequel to Garry O'Briain and Padraigin Ni Uallachain's 1994 collaboration A Stor's a Stoirin -- Songs for All Ages, When I Was Young (also featuring singer Len Graham) is another excellent collection of traditional Irish folk songs for children, this time sung in English. In stark contrast to the general perceptions of children's music, these songs are honest and direct, exploring major themes but never condescending to their target audience -- indeed, there's a maturity and depth to tunes like "The Weeping Willow" ...
