Universal International's The Ultimate Collection lives up to its name with a sprawling three-disc (for some people, a single-disc Ace of Base compilation just doesn't cut it) overview of the alternately beloved and reviled Swedish dance-pop outfit's career. For the most part, UC covers all of the same ground as 2000's Greatest Hits, 2003's Singles of the 90s, and Arista's Platinum & Gold Collection, balancing radio behemoths like "Don't Turn Around," "The Sign," and "All That She Wants" with smaller hits such as "Wheel of Fortune" and Bananarama's "Cruel Summer." What distinguishes The Ultimate Collection from previous comps is the inclusion of some deeper album cuts and an entire disc of remixes, in case "The Sign" didn't get stuck in your head the first time around. ~ James Christopher Monger

On MOTHER HATE, the last track on SOUL, INC. VOL. 2, the performer is Elysian Field which is an offshoot of the band Soul, Inc.
Gear Fab Records continues its Souls Inc. story with the release of Volume 2. Originally a singles band from Kentucky, Soul Inc. was formed in 1965 when guitarist Wayne Young and drummer Marvin Maxwell secured a place on Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars tour prior to even forming a band. The two hired some musicians and backed up the likes of Lou Christi, Reparata & the Delrons, and others. On the second Dick Clark tour, Soul Inc. opened as a stand-alone band and quickly became a favorite of many of the top acts of the day, including Paul Revere & the Raiders. Over the following months, Soul Inc. built a reputation for themselves and began recording singles. The band recorded songs for the Rondo, Star Records, Boss and Counterpart labels, and became one of the most popular acts in Kentucky. Volume 1 of the Soul Inc. story collected 20 of the band's singles recorded between 1965 and 1969. Volume 2 now continues that story with an additional 16 tracks that were not on Volume 1, and features one song from the next incarnation of the band (known as the Elysian Field, not to ...

The evolution of black metal remains among the most astonishing and unpredictable in all of rock. How else to describe a musical movement where the same artists whose early efforts comprised some of the most primitive and vile sonic mutations ever concocted could develop into highly skilled songwriters and musicians, capable of works of astounding maturity, surprising accessibility, and, most shocking of all, undeniable class -- all within the span of just over a decade! Of course, very few are the bands that actually weathered this radical transition relatively unscathed, and, considering many of them are gone (Emperor) or dabbling in styles other than metal (Ulver, Tiamat, etc.), Norway's Enslaved have emerged as quite possibly the standard-bearers of black metal's incredible progression. Devoted Viking metal stalwarts at the start (their early lyrics were written exclusively in Norwegian), Enslaved fared well, but not as well as early contemporaries Emperor and Mayhem, during the mid- to late '90s; but come the dawn of the new millennium, they began an inexorable ascent to the top of their genre thanks to courageously progressive albums like Mardraum, Monumension, and, in 2003, the stunning career pinnacle Below the Lights. The realization that this peak was then ...

$17.79
Stylistically, Theo Bleckmann has not been easy to pin down. The main focus of the German-born singer turned New York City resident has been jazz, some of it post-bop and some of it avant-garde, but Bleckmann has not been afraid to throw musical curve balls at listeners, which is exactly what he does on Las Vegas Rhapsody: The Night They Invented Champagne. This 2005 recording, which was arranged by Japanese pianist Fumio Yasuda, is Bleckmann's tribute to Sin City, and the art work is full of illustrations of stereotypical Vegas ...

Ultimate Collection
$23.65
The aim of this 26-track compilation of material Roy Hamilton cut for Epic between the mid-'50s and early '60s was, according to Clive Richardson's liner notes, to choose "tracks which mainly sit comfortably within the R&B genre." That it does, but as Don't Let Go includes his biggest hits -- not just the pop smashes "Don't Let Go," "You Can Have Her," and "Unchained Melody," but also the Top Ten R&B singles "Ebb Tide," "You'll Never Walk Alone," "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Cry (Over You)," "Hurt," and "Forgive This Fool" -- it also serves as a quite respectable, extensive best-of anthology. Frankly, some of this is far more in the melodramatic pop ballad camp than the R&B one, particularly the aforementioned "Ebb Tide," "You'll Never Walk Alone," and "Hurt," although all of those tracks are strong performances. But a lot of it is R&B-informed, proving Hamilton to be one of the very first singers of note to cross R&B-indebted styles over to mainstream pop without getting whitewashed. While the hits (particularly the gospel-inflected, up-tempo "Don't Let Go" and "You Can Have Her") might be the most memorable tunes, there are a lot of good cuts here, including "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Cry (Over You)," famously covered a bit later by Elvis Presley (and then, in 1963 on the BBC, by the Beatles); the rollicking, just slightly sinister pop/rock-R&B of "Crazy Feelin'" and "Jungle Fever"; a few other numbers where his gospel roots show, like "That's All Right" (which sounds a bit like a more pop-oriented slant on the mid-'50s Ray Charles' sound); and the loungey blues-soul of "I'll Take Care of You," "Blowtop Blues," and "I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town." Certainly the music on this disc helped pave the way for the likes of Brook Benton and (more indirectly) Sam Cooke to make inroads into the pop audience, and overall it's a fine document of a singer whose skill and influence have ...
