| | May Blitz 2nd Of May CD May Blitz Discography of CDs
The second and final May Blitz album basically picked up where its predecessor left off, with the thunderous and foreboding "For Mad Men Only," and then bludgeoned on from there. Except, where May Blitz concentrated on weight, 2nd of May is more interested in mood and even mirth -- "25th of December 1969" would be almost jovial, if the lyrics weren't so harsh, while the balladic "Just Thinking" closes the album with the sweetest of whispers. It's a tighter disc than its predecessor. Just two of the eight songs really top five minutes, as the band learned how to cram maximum impact into minimal space, and layered the virtuosity on from there. The helter-skelter blur of "Eight Mad Grim Nits" is as electrifying a guitar workout as you're likely to hear, with the axe panning wildly while the rhythm section soars like a steeplechase behind it; while "High Beech" takes the opposite tack entirely, a psychedelic dream that builds so gently that the effect is almost boleric. "Honey Coloured Time," too, has a gentle mood that puts one in mind of labelmates Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan," as performed by the Full House era Fairport Convention. And, while a lengthy Tony Newman drum solo doesn't really repay repeat listens (well, not unless you like drum solos), still 2nd of May remains one of those albums that you will find yourself returning to again and again, while wishing May Blitz had held on long enough to cut a follow-up. ~ Dave Thompson

| | Alabama Christmas, Vol. 2 CD (1996)
2nd Of May CD music
 $5.95 
Principally recorded at The Tracking Room, Nashville, Tennessee.
Like its predecessor, Alabama's Christmas, Vol. 2 is a pleasant mix of traditional holiday carols ("Little Drummer Boy," "O Little Town of Bethlehem"), and fine but undistinguished, original carols like "New Year's Eve 1999" and "Christmas in Your Arms." There's not much about Christmas, Vol. 2 for listeners that aren't already fans of the group, but for fans, it's a fine addition to ...

| | Sugarland Gold & Green CD (2009)
2nd Of May album
$12.35 
Georgia's Sugarland rose to great heights in 2009 - their 2008 album LOVE ON THE INSIDE reached platinum status, they recorded a prime-time network television special called LIVE ON THE INSIDE, which was then released in numerous packages that all sold well, and the group has sold out live shows globally. Therefore it seems to make sense for the group to release yet another stop-gap before the year runs out in lieu of a new studio album. GOLD AND GREEN is a hybrid holiday recording. It contains ten tracks, five of which are Christmas standards including a country boogie version of "Winter Wonderland," a "backwoods" "O Come O Come Emmanuel," and a steeped-in-reverence acoustic version of "Silent Night," sung bilingually in Spanish and English. The other five cuts are originals themed for the holidays. One has to give Sugarland some marks for trying to do something different than a standard-issue Christmas album.

| | Gipsy Music Of Macedonia & Neighbouring Countries CD (1996) (Import) United Kingdom
2nd Of May songs
$10.53 
Withering blasts from nasally Zurlas and staccato sounding double-headed Davul drums form the foundation of this fine CD. Recorded by Wolf Dietrich throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Gipsy Music of Macedonia & Neighbouring Countries presents over a dozen impressive field recordings. Beginning with dance tunes from Macedonia, this aural expedition mimics the routes taken by the Gypsies, winding its way through the Balkans. Gypsy performers from Kosovo, Greece, Rumania, and Turkey are all heard here. If lively outdoor dance music built upon odd-meter rhythms and trance-inducing melodies sounds interesting to you, then definitely ...
| | Ray Wylie Hubbard Dangerous Spirits CD (1997)
2nd Of May album
$14.59
Sheer determination is what makes this collection of songs a force to be reckoned with. Hubbard's songs mix styles and genres recklessly, using whatever he needs to get the point across. While he doesn't have the greatest voice around, he puts his soul into his singing, leaving a memorable impression. None of these songs are comfortable, simple ditties about love and loss ...

| | Porter Block Suburban Sprawl CD (2006) (Import) Enhanced CD; Australia
2nd Of May album
$13.65
The New York band's debut album bears the unmistakable influence of late-1970s and early-'80s popsters like Crowded House and XTC, especially on the pastoral, psych-influenced "Circles" and the peppy, artfully constructed "Something Better," while on "Wonder About Me," a sunny, Beatles-like musical sensibility underpins a tale of love derailed. As smart and slyly referential as Steely Dan, though without that band's jazzier pretensions, Porter Block's music has ingested the vitality of the best late-20th century pop.
This CD was an evolutionary process of many years of reciting the Jaap Sahib prayer. Delving into the meaning of Guru Gobind Singh's words/prayer and listening deeply to the comments of Yogi Bhajan, I realized that experiencing the CD with meditation would be the best way to get the effect that Guru Gobind SIngh experienced when he compased this.The music is mostly rythmic accompanyment(drums and percussion) and repeated recitation ...
