Pelt: Jack Rose, Mike Gangloff, Patrick Best, Mikel Dimmick. The product of two days of recording in the Philadelphia home of Jack Rose, Pelt's ninth release (CD-Rs not included) is, on first encounter, an austere affair. Both the album and its four compositions are untitled. The cover is made up of fuzzy, black-and-white close-ups of various instruments. The information inside is minimal, providing no specifics regarding who played what. All of this restraint, however, seems designed to let the music contained speak for itself. Each piece here unfolds in an organic fashion: the musicians letting the sound around them dictate what they play rather than forcing the music's development. The result is a series of immense, drone-based structures, performed entirely on acoustic instruments. The contributions of Rose, Patrick Best, Mike Gangloff, and newly inaugurated Mikel Dimmick seem, at first glance, to blur together into a single sound mass. Deeper listening, however, reveals greater detail. On Untitled, it's as if previous Pelt creations have been placed under a microscope, revealing the music's grain. The high recording quality adds to this sensation, the sound almost physically present. The album opener immerses the listener in a murky sea, the music bobbing back and forth against low pulses, and clanks for its duration. Track three, made up of higher-pitched, shimmering textures, constantly changes its shape as the sound of various stringed instruments rise to, then sink below, the hazy surface. It's the second song, however, that feels like the true centerpiece. Here, the details of the group's palette are brought into focus. The sounds of individual voices (percussion strokes, string scrapes, Rose's fingerpicking) reveal the subtleties behind shifts through a series of disparate musical environments, from swelling turbulence, to reflective calm, to eerie desolation. Capped off by a brief, dissonant string piece, Untitled offers an hour of rich, expansive, carefully developed sound. ~ Nathan BushThe Wire (p.54) - "Rooted in stoner rock, old blues, Americana and ethnic miscellany, Pelt's continued musical drift has accrued a greater significance these last few years..."

| | Herbie Hancock Box CDs (2002) Remastered; Box Set; Special Edition
Untitled
$37.75 THE HERBIE HANCOCK BOX includes a 56 page booklet. Personnel: Herbie Hancock (piano, electric piano, Fender Rhodes piano, keyboards, synthesizer, mini-Moog synthesizer, vocoder); Gavin Christopher, Bobby McFerrin (vocals); Lee Ritenour , Ray Parker, Jr. (guitar); Bennie Maupin (flute, soprano saxophone); Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone); Freddie Hubbard, Wynton Marsalis (trumpet); Julian Priester (alto trombone); Chick Corea (piano); Patrick Gleeson (ARP synthesizer); Ron Carter (bass instrument); Buster Williams (double bass); Paul Jackson (bass guitar); Harvey Mason, Sr. , Mike Clark , Tony Williams , Billy Hart (drums); Kenneth Nash , Sheila Escovedo, Bill Summers (percussion); Julia Waters, Maxine Willard Waters (background vocals). Liner Note Author: Chuck Mitchell. Given that Blue Note Records has issued a definitive 1960s box set of Hancock's earliest -- and some consider his most seminal -- work, and the literally dozens of best-ofs that have been issued, more by Columbia than by anybody else, this set with its spare futuristic design might at first glance seem like overkill, as in, "do we really need another Herbie Hancock collection, especially a damned box set?" In this case, it's very important to take a second and even third look. For starters, this set is housed in a see-though plastic box, all four CDs clearly visible on spare individual trays. On a fifth tray rests the CD booklet. On the bottom of the box is a sticker identifying the contents within. In the booklet are complete liners by Herbie himself (actually, excepts from an interview by Chuck Mitchell), and gorgeous reproductions of the album covers. It's a cool coffee table conversation piece for hep cats and kitties who are into jazz -- or those who just like happening accoutrements in their living spaces. More substantial is that the material covered here encompasses a whopping 23 albums recorded over 13 years! There are ...

With a track listing that spans six years and several different band lineups, Enon's singles, B-sides, and rare tracks collection Lost Marbles and Exploded Evidence could have been too scattered for its own good, but it's actually one of the band's most enjoyable releases. There's something endearing about the twists and turns the band take as their music evolves from Believo!'s post-Brainiac spazz pop into the more stylish (but just as quirky) sounds of High ...

It is now available for purchase through various online retail locations.Also included on this Enhanced CD, is the Official White Birds Video, in Dolby 5.1 surround. Enjoy!What some people have said about her: From BILLBOARD.comWhite BirdsSarah Fimm's 2004 album "Nexus" was a stunning celestial journey, while 2002's "A Perfect Dream" contained a chilling, isolated beauty. Thankfully, 2009 heralds new delights from the singer/songwriter. The title track to the EP "White Birds" has the same lofty quality, but Fimm has migrated to a warmer climate. Soft tones invitingly gurgle as she artfully positions each synthesizer, their gossamer sounds gently resonating. Violins join in, dipping and sawing with carefree ease. "White Birds" can fit a variety of moods; you can unwind to it in a hot bath or ignite a promising romantic spark. Visit www.whitebirdsep.com for other winsome selections.—Christa L.
