| | Perrey-Kingsley In Sound From Way Out! CD Perrey-Kingsley Discography of CDs
Experimental avant-garde duo Gershon Kingsley and Jean-Jacques Perrey work with tape loops and electronic instrumentation on their 1966 recording IN SOUND FROM WAY OUT. Tracks include "Barnyard in Orbit" and "Computer In Love."
Another kitschy workout from '60s electronica pioneer Jean-Jacques Perrey (here working with futuristic fellow traveler Gershon Kingsley), this was actually a staggering technical achievement in its day, given the comically primitive state of electronic instruments and most recording studios in 1966. Perrey and Kingsley's brand of pop mixed live instruments with proto-synths and sound effects (duck calls, monkey noises), and if it all sounds goofy today (which it does) it should be noted that it was made, on some level, with tongue in cheek. Probably the best--and certainly the most elaborate track--is "Little Man From Mars," which sounds like the sort of music they play on a TV game show while the contestants are writing down their answers. Other high points include "Countdown at 6," the obligatory classical rip-off (from Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hourse") and "Visa to the Stars," an effective "Telstar" wannabe.
The first album from the pioneering duo of Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley, recorded in 1966. Allegedly the recording involved 275 hours of work and several miles of tape. These electronically modified sounds were combined with electronic sounds from oscillators, tone generators, and feedback loops to produce something approximating pop music.Uncut (p.115) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]his is chipper stuff, snap and crackle pop...the duo enjoy simulating animal noises and ditzy melodies." Down Beat (1/96, p.50) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...[a] wild, joyfully silly record. This antidote to `serious' electronic music uses percolating electronic rhythms, rowdy sound effects and extensive editing to make the computer sing and play..." In Sound From Way Out!

In Sound From Way Out! album
$14.45 After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims ...

In Sound From Way Out! album
$15.65 With its titanic guitar solos, symphonic suites, and multi-layered melodies, Muse's fifth album operates under the assumption that bigger is better. This is the very definition of a super-sized album, an album that takes its cues from Queen, its lyrics from science fiction novels, and its delivery from rock opera. It's also the first time that Muse has truly sounded like Muse, as few bands since Queen have so readily explored the intersection of bombast and extravagance. THE ...

In Sound From Way Out! CD music
$14.19 The last Stones studio album of the '60s finds the band, for perhaps the first time, accurately reflecting the spirit of its age. The erstwhile bad boy outsiders of rock now found themselves firmly in the center of the social and political post-'68 whirlwind, and faced up to the challenge magnificently. The band's confident ...
| | Spiders Imperial Sessions CDs (1993) (Import) Import; Germany
In Sound From Way Out! music CDs
$40.09 Contains 47 tracks recorded between 1954 and 1963. Includes a booklet with a sessionography and liner notes.
The Spiders' first Imperial session was a split one in which they recorded two gospel songs as the Delta Southernaires and two R&B songs as the Spiders. The latter two, "I Didn't Want to Do It" b/w "You're the One," became a big double-sided hit in 1954, launching the career of one of New Orleans' preeminent vocal groups and permanently sidetracking their gospel music ambitions. (A year later, the El Dorados reworked "I Didn't Want to Do It" into the R&B chart-topper "At My Front Door"). The Spiders scored three more Top Ten hits through 1955 before falling off the charts, then stayed together for another year until lead singer Chuck Carbo went solo. The Imperial Sessions is a two-disc set that compiles the group's complete Imperial recordings from 1953-1960, including the two Delta Southernaires cuts and four of Carbo's solo sides. Dave Bartholomew produced the sessions and wrote many of the group's songs, although a former Delta Southernaires guitarist named Adolph Smith penned the first two hits and most of their early material. Tensions between Carbo and the rest of the group are evident on the Spiders' recordings as early as 1954; ...
| | David & David Boomtown CD (1986)
In Sound From Way Out! songs
$8.09 David & David's Boomtown is a hard look at urban life in the 1980s, a time when many were fulfilling the American Dream of financial success and upward mobility. It is not an easy album to listen to, as the characters depicted in the songs are often dealing with major problems such as drugs and domestic violence. But it is an artful record, full of poetry and convincing stories of the hard times that many silently endured. At times the record is full of pop hooks, and at other stages a more bleak sound dominates. The vocals of ...

$11.99 On its fourth album, THE RISING TIDE, Sunny Day Real Estate severely shifts the established style that had brought it accolades and emulation from dozens of mid-'90s soundalikes. The band's earlier, more somber, emo approach here gives way to flashy flurries of furious extroverted melodies with echoes ...
