Bit is a four-CD box containing the first four albums (Samba Esquema Noise, Guentando a Oia, Carnaval Na Obra, and Por Pouco) released by Mundo Livre S/A, plus a bonus DVD with video clips. Thus, it is a nearly complete collection of the first ten years' worth of output of this unconventional but highly talented group. Unfortunately, Mundo Livre S/A's fifth, and by far most consistent and beautiful album to date, O Outro Mundo de Manuela Rosário, isn't included in the box. There is, of course, still a lot of very good music to be found on Bit. Ever since their first album, released in 1994, Mundo Livre S/A have been hailed by critics as one of Brazil's best and most original bands. Through the years a lot of other Brazilian artists have mixed rock with traditional Brazilian music styles such as samba and bossa nova, but few have managed to make the mix sound as good as Mundo Livre S/A. That, coupled with bandleader Fred Zeroquatro's original melodies and often strong and captivating lyrics, is the simple explanation as to why the band is one of the most highly acclaimed in Brazil. Of the four albums included in this box, Samba Esquema Noise and Por Pouco are the most consistent, Guentando a Oia the weakest, and Carnaval Na Obra the most uneven (it includes several really excellent tracks as well as a couple of pretty bland ones). ~ Philip Jandovsky

Purchase Bit CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Pink Martini Splendor In The Grass CD (2009) Digipak
Bit album
 $13.39  
Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward lounge-pop of their debut, SYMPATHIQUE, and the mellowness of '60s and '70s pop. SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS' first half is especially smooth, opening with the beautifully soft Neapolitan ballad "Ninna Nanna" and the title track, ...

| | Buju Banton Til Shiloh... CD (1995) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Bit music CDs
$10.45  
It was not pure ego that led Buju Banton to title his 1993 album VOICE OF JAMAICA; his unique voice is a gruff, melodic instrument, and his lyrics are precise. He built his career on controversial hits and slacker anthems, but has since helped spearhead a movement to swing reggae's pendulum away from sex and violence, back towards conscious lyrics and Rastafarian themes. On `TIL SHILOH, the voice of Jamaica has visibly evolved.
Still, don't let all this consciousness talk scare you; Buju's strength is his ability to create hooks that buoy the weight of his words. The choruses of singles like "Murderer," "I Wanna Be Loved" and "Champion" drill themselves into your head and nest there for days. 'TIL SHILOH is also one of the most experimental dancehall releases ever, utilizing an a capella intro, a track built out of African chanting and percussion ("'Til I'm Laid To Rest"), and a song featuring an acoustic guitar ...

With help from musicians associated with the era and location (including Don Tosti, Lalo Guerrero, and Thee Midnighters' Little Willie G.) and studio musicians Jim Keltner, Jon Hassell, and legendary Tex-Mex accordionist Flaco Jimenez, Cooder has created a musical novel that richly celebrates the music, life, and lingering mythos of Chavez Ravine, an L.A. neighborhood razed by the city in the interest of big business (namely to build a stadium for the soon-to-be L.A. Dodgers). Stylistically, the album, performed in both Spanish and English, encompasses Latin folk forms, swing, atmospheric ballads, rhumba, and R&B. Yet the whole feels so rooted in history, ...

STARDATE: 072399:::::::::::::::The RedRum Republik was formed out of necessity. Never has their been such a collection of individuals so vast in nature but so hell-bent on personal success. The Rum is more than a group, more than a family, The Rum is a conglomerate! A vehicle for artistic, creative, and business-minded people to further their individual aspirations with the protection of a united front. ::::::::::::::: The Rum is a way of life.::::::::::::::: For those that know the word 'REDRUM" is actually 'MURDER' spelt backwards, but contrary to popular belief it doesn't mean the same thing. If you do the knowledge it is murder BACKWARDS, that makes it the "opposite of murder". That is turn makes it righteous. The Ten Commandments states that "Thou shalt not kill", but that would be impossible since humans and other animals kill everyday to eat - whether plant or animal. If that is true then it should be "Thou shalt not commit murder" for to murder is to kill with malicious intent. With this said if murder is evil the redrum is "the opposite of all that is evil". :::::::::::::::At the present time The Rum consists of the four elements of HIP_HOP (DeeJay's, Emcee's, Breaker's and Graffiti ...
