Antony and the Johnsons offer up a snapshot of their upcoming full-length I Am a Bird Now, to be released in 2005, with the three-track EP The Lake. Antony's musical adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's poem is a chilling piano/cello/guitar-accompanied lament that echoes the work of fellow David Tibet discovery and frequent collaborator Baby Dee. Similar ground is covered on "The Horror Has Gone," a less gloomy take on the artist's signature brand of pop-cabaret given extra warmth from a lush full-band arrangement. "Fistful of Love," featuring a spoken word intro and typically awful guitar solo from Lou Reed, is the EP's centerpiece. The only track to appear on the forthcoming LP, it builds on the promise of the group's delicious 1997 debut, reveling in its chamber pop debauchery and revealing Antony as one of the most unique and forward-thinking voices in modern music. ~ James Christopher Monger

Lake album
 $12.49   
Antony & the Johnsons have put together an elaborate assortment of artsy, sweet, and odd songs on their debut album. Antony's voice is a stunning musical instrument, sounding as feminine as it does masculine. Occasionally, he pulls out all the stops and affects a successful, soaring vocal style. The atmosphere of the album is dark yet somehow uplifting. The music, mostly slow, quiet jazz, played on a piano, harp, cello, flute, clarinets, saxophone, violins, and drums (in addition to some guitar work) occasionally matches Antony's bombastic vocals. Song titles like "Cripple and the Starfish," "Hitler in My Heart," and "The Atrocities" give an idea of the tone. "Hitler in My Heart" sees Antony searching for a "piece of kindness" but finding Hitler in his heart, before relating that "from the corpses, flowers grow." No matter what those lyrics suggest, the song itself ...
| | Antony I Am A Bird Now CD (2005)
Lake CD music
$12.49  
Though he probably achieved his greatest mainstream recognition backing up Lou Reed on tour, idiosyncratic songbird Antony is a fully established artiste in his own right. Backed by the Johnsons, as on I AM A BIRD NOW, he crafts delicate ballads that skirt the lines between cabaret, artsong, and pop, with the kind of voice that Stephin Merritt would probably kill for. Antony's unique pipes bring to mind an androgynous Bryan Ferry or a high, quavery summit meeting between Jimmy Scott (another Reed supporter) and Aaron Neville. The stately, graceful, largely piano-driven ...

Since his Mercury Prize-winning 2005 album I AM A BIRD NOW, fans have heard Antony's angelic voice on everything from Leonard Cohen covers to duets with Bjork to the DFA project Hercules and Love Affair. But 2008's ANOTHER WORLD EP marks Antony's first outing with the Johnsons since I AM A BIRD NOW. At five songs, the EP may seem like a teaser, but five new songs from Antony and the Johnsons is cause for celebration. The spare, chilling title track, which bemoans ...
| | Camouflage Voices & Images CD (1988)
Lake music CDs
$10.45 
When it was played on modern rock radio stations in 1988, Camouflage had everybody duped with "The Great Commandment." With its chilly synths, robotic percussion, and gloomy vocals, the song was a Depeche Mode doppelganger. Similarly, Camouflage's debut album Voices & Images is the sound of young men who couldn't stop playing Depeche Mode's Black Celebration in their tape decks. However, they are somewhat talented plagiarists. The ...
| | Red Hot Chili Peppers Mother's Milk CD (1989) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Lake songs
$9.99

Additional personnel includes: Hillel Slovak (guitar); Jack Irons, Fish (drums); Julie Ritter, Gretchen Seager, Wag (background vocals).
Principally recorded at Ocean Way Studios and Image Studios, Hollywood, California. Includes liner notes by Flea.
All tracks have been digitally remastered using 24 Bit Technology.
Principally recorded at Ocean Way Studios and Image Studios, Hollywood, California.
1989's MOTHER'S MILK is the album that broke the Red Hot Chili Peppers out of college rock cultdom and into the rock mainstream. Despite suffering the loss of drummer Jack Irons and guitarist Hillel Slovak a year earlier (Irons left after Slovak suffered a fatal drug overdose), founding members Anthony Kiedis and Flea found exceptional replacements in Chad Smith and John Frusciante. The new members' excitement is clearly evident throughout MOTHER'S MILK, arguably the Chili Peppers' best album. A cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" and a tribute to Slovak, "Knock Me Down," were both big MTV successes, as were such other highlights as "Taste the Pain" (featured prominently in the movie SAY ANYTHING), "Good Time Boys," "Subway to Venus," "Magic Johnson," and "Sexy Mexican Maid."
A pivotal album for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, 1989's Mother's Milk turned the tide and transformed the band from ...

$12.85
Unio Celestia Import/Brazil Following up the sonant concept presented in Corciolli’s 1995 release of “Unio Mystica,” Corciolli adds some elements of Flemish music as well as the astonishing duets of tenor Baulé, mezzo-soprano Tania Maya, and a Gregorian choir. Corciolli’s piano and keyboards textures produced the splendid sonority, added by ethnic percussions. In this harmony of sounds, the artist expresses himself, leading us to classical music, harmonic contemporary interpretations and jazzy improvisations, transporting the listener to a euphoric and reflective state. Highlights include “Oratio,” which was used as the soundtrack for the Brazilian soap opera “Essas Mulheres,” and “Toledo,” which was the theme song used by Brazilian gymnast Angelica Kvieczynski in the 2007 Pan American Games.Corciolli’s music is inspired and unique. Corciolli strives to unite the traditional to the contemporary; the acoustic to the electronic. Praised by many Brazilian reviewers for his compositions, arrangements and recordings, Corciolli is considered to be one of the most remarkable Brazilian artists in his genre. ...
