2005, Japanese version featuring three bonus acoustic versions of "Wildflower", "Where Has All The Love Gone" and "Letter To God".
On her fifth studio album, singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow leaves her carefree rock tunes by the side of a winding road, traveling forward with a subdued, introspective set of songs. The result is akin to Beck's SEA CHANGE, a record that largely eschews upbeat pop in favor of quieter, more thoughtful tracks. (In fact, Beck's father, David Campbell, provides string arrangements for almost every song on WILDFLOWER.)
Although there is a notable chamber-pop feel to this 2005 album, with an orchestra present on all but one track, the strings never eclipse Crow's pensive songs, and the focus here remains on her immediately recognizable and strikingly emotive vocals. "I Know Why" opens WILDFLOWER with gentle acoustic-guitar and banjo lines, while the Eastern-tinged "Chances Are" coasts over a foundation of subtle synthesizers and tabla-like drum programming. The disc's most energetic moment, "Live It Up," hews closest to Crow's past hits, but the overall mood of the record is beautifully autumnal, revealing that, even more than a decade into her solo career, she's not afraid to challenge herself or her listeners
Japanese pressing of her 2005 album features three bonus tracks, Acoustic versions of, 'Wildflower', 'Where has All the Love Gone' and 'Letter to God'. Crow says the title is intended as a reminder that ''in chaos there is beauty everywhere and it's important not to miss that.'' Universal.Rolling Stone (No. 984, p.152) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...The track "Chances Are" is gorgeous...It's reminiscent of early Van Morrison and suggests new possibilities for Crow."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Her tunesmithery is still right there, sneaking in alluring dissonances..." Wildflower Review

Wildflower album
 $8.49    
Karen and Richard Carpenter's third album, released in 1970, includes two of their signature songs, Bacharach/David's "(They Long To Be) Close To You" and Paul Williams' "We've Only Just Begun," a tune originally written as a commercial jingle for California's Crocker Banks. The rest of the album continues the siblings' exquisite taste in outside material, returning to Williams for "I Kept On Loving You" and to Bacharach for the Shirelles' "Baby It's You." Also featured here is an appealing version of the classic "I'll Never Fall In Love Again."
Other fine covers include Tim Hardin's "Reason To Believe" and an arrestingly mournful version of Lennon/McCartney's "Help." The album also includes four Richard Carpenter originals, with "Another Song" and the girl-groupish "Maybe It's You" the highlights. CLOSE TO YOU is one of the Carpenters' most commercially and artistically successful albums.

$7.15
A SONG FOR YOU, Karen and Richard Carpenter's fourth album, is an unusual record. Alongside the usual million-selling hits, here including "Top of the World," "Hurting Each Other," "Goodbye To Love," and the film theme "Bless The Beasts And Children," A SONG FOR YOU contains a number of brief instrumentals designed to showcase Richard Carpenter's keyboard and arranging skills. Elsewhere, sibling Karen sings as beautifully as ever, and her dusky, clear alto is at its most expressive. The CD was remastered by Richard Carpenter in 1998 as part of a general overhaul of the Carpenters' A&M catalogue. A limited-edition Japanese release features 32-bit digital remastering and an LP-style slipcase.
Additional personnel includes: Louie Shelton, Tony Peluso (guitar); Red Rhodes (steel guitar); Bob Messenger (tenor saxophone, flute, alto flute); Tim Weisberg (bass flute); Earl Dumler (oboe, English horn); Norm Herzberg (bassoon); Joe Osborn (bass); Hal Blaine (drums).

| | Lost Boys CD (1987) Original Soundtrack
Wildflower music CDs
$5.99 
Joel Schumacher's 1987 film The Lost Boys capitalized on a temporary lull in horror movies in the late '80s and created a heavily music-video-influenced vampire homage with enough campy humor, heavy metal costumes, and hunky stars to put a fresh spin on the genre. An amusing piece of eye candy spiked by a few creepy moments, the movie, in typical '80s style, relies heavily on the soundtrack to bolster its emotional core. The soundtrack, like the film, works great on the surface -- but don't go much deeper. A mix of covers and bombastic '80s pop originals, the songs work best when they concentrate on the horror factor. Echo & the Bunnymen turn in an excellent cover of the Doors' "People Are Strange" that has a bouncier, more melodic touch than the original. Jimmy Barnes and INXS' "Good Times" is an energetic rocker used to personify the party-hardy SoCal atmosphere of the film. ...

Wildflower songs
$20.69
Disc 1 is a live recording of Cassiber with Shinoda Masami in Tokyo, Japan in October 1992. Disc 2 is a collection of sampled and remixed works (using the material from disc 1) by Ground-Zero.
For the two-CD set Live in Tokyo, Chris Cutler's record label ReR Megacorp put together an interesting farewell concept. Disc one presents a concert by Cassiber recorded in Tokyo on October 23, 1992. It was the trio's first and only visit to the Land of the Rising Sun and turned out to be one of its last performances; after a couple more shows, two months later, the group put an end to its 10-year existence. For this evening, Christoph Anders (vocals, sampler), Heiner Goebbels (keyboards, sampler) and Cutler (drums) had invited saxophonist Shinoda Masami to join them -- he died a few weeks later. On disc two, Otomo Yoshihide sampled, treated, added, remixed, and recomposed the tapes of the show with the help of his usual Ground-Zero colleagues, plus members of Hoahio. He decided to release the project under the name Ground-Zero, thus making it the final completed album (chronologically) from this seminal avant-garde group. As necrological as it may sound, Live in Tokyo is very alive. The Cassiber performance captures the group in peak form. Most of the material comes from their last studio album A Face We All Know, but also includes forays in their three previous titles. Masami's contribution on the Bach-derived "O Cure Me" and "Our Colourful Culture" matches Arthur 23 Harth's original recordings on Man or Monkey. The Ground-Zero disc pushes the same sound material into a different direction, surprisingly ambient on "Across the Sky #1." Here the music hints more at Yoshihide's future projects (like I.S.O.) than at Cassiber's repertoire. "O Cure Me," "Gut," and the first half of "Across the Sky #3" feature more recognizable segments of the concert, while the latter's second half turns into one last ...
| | No Use For A Name Live In A Dive CD (2001)
Wildflower album
$6.69
Recorded live in San Francisco and Los Angeles, California in November 2000.
No Use for a Name's Live in a Dive is exactly what it sounds like it might be: a live album. However, it hardly sounds as though it was recorded in a dive. With excellent sound and even some live video material as part of the CD-ROM, the quality is spectacular and comes off without a hitch. For those unfamiliar with NUFAN's sound, this ancient (in terms of the melodic punk rock scene) band plays a nice blend of melodic hardcore and hard-nosed punk. Fans of the band will not only appreciate hearing the band's live sound (especially if they've never had the chance to see them), but more importantly they'll dig the comic book that comes with the LP or as part of the booklet in the CD. ~ Kurt Morris
CD booklet is a mini comic book.
This is part of the Fat Wreck Chords series.
No Use For A Name: Tony Sly (vocals); Jackson (guitar); Matt (bass, background vocals); Rory (drums).

Wildflower CD music
$18.59
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
By the time of this 1989 performance, the Grateful Dead were heading towards the last phase of their career. In a cruel, Spinal Tap-like twist of fate, keyboardist Brent Mydland would soon meet the same untimely fate as his predecessors Ron "Pigpen" McKernan and Keith Godchaux. Band visionary Jerry Garcia would follow him a few years after, effectively ending the band's long career. But on this night in New Jersey, they still had some of the old fire left.
While newer songs such as "Built to Last" and "Picasso Moon" were not up to the standards of the band's previous work, they're outnumbered here by numerous classics, including the seldom-heard gem "Attics of My Life" from 1970's AMERICAN BEAUTY, and ...
