Recorded for German radio in early 1975, FLOATING WORLD LIVE includes many of the compositions featured on the BUNDLES album released later that same year. By the mid-'70s, Soft Machine was a completely different band from the Dada-ist troupe that had emerged from Canterbury in the late 1960s. These pieces, mostly written by horn and keyboard player Karl Jenkins and guitarist Alan Holdsworth, are mid-'70s jazz-rock at its finest. More organic-sounding than its contemporaries the Mahavishnu Orchestra, the band swings from the Zen-like pastoral feel of the title track and the exploratory "Penny Hitch" to the incendiary rock attack of "Hazard Profile (Part One)," while "Land of the Bag Snake" features Holdsworth soloing as if his life depended on it.
This CD marks the first release of a live performance by Soft Machine's "Bundles" line-up featuring Allan Holdsworth on guitar. This concert, recorded for Radio Bremen in Jan. 1975, consists of most of the "Bundles" material, which hadn't yet come out, a

This solo release by Bread singer and songwriter David Gates features "Sail Around The World" and "Sunday Rider."
First, David Gates "first" album away from Bread, begins with that distinctive voice and sound his band made famous when he was at the controls. On the initial track of this 1973 release, "Sailing Around the World," he sings "wish that I could start again." The problem here is that Bread had a groove, and a quick comparison is in order: Despite David Bowie's fame after splitting from the Spiders From Mars, rock & roll fans never felt the same way about that artist. So, too, with this soft rock maestro, and regardless of the on-key and in-control aspect of First, it's hard to get a handle on many of these nine original songs. It's a stellar cast behind the identifiable pop figure -- Jim Horn, Jim Gordon, Larry Carlton, Russ Kunkel, Mike Botts, and so on and so forth -- all providing a sterling foundation, but there is no knockout punch like "The Guitar Man," "Make It With You," or even his '60s hit for the Murmaids, "Popsicles, Icicles." Now an acoustic version of that gem would have brought this set to life post haste. "Sunday Rider" is restrained rock, not as defined as the Top 30 "Let Your Love Go" from 1971, the hardest of Bread's dozen hit records. "Soap" is pretty lackluster, though "Suite: Clouds, Rain" adds a nice dimension to the end of side one, nearly nine minutes of lovely, soft music that became identified with the artist. Side two has some interesting moments. "Ann" opens up with something close to the "Sweet Surrender" riff and is a soft folk number much like "Aubrey" from The Guitarman album, little touches of "Arrivederci Roma" flavor the instrumentation and melody. "Do You Believe He's Comin'" brings back the semi-heavy guitar of "Guitar Man," meaning Gates has no qualms about taking his bag of Bread tricks to his solo effort. A lyric about "the meek inheriting the earth" and the use of capital "h" on "He" make it clear this is a ...
| | David Bowie Best Of Bowie CD (2002)
Floating World Live album
$41.89
This edition of BEST OF BOWIE will only be available 12.2.2003-3.31.2004.
Ably serving as a substitute for the excellent but out-of-print collection BOWIE: THE SINGLES 1969-1993, the two-CD BEST OF BOWIE serves as an outstanding career-spanning retrospective featuring material from as recent as 2002. Above all reflecting the visionary aptitude of a restless creative genius who switched into different musical guises the way some people change suits, these 38 cuts trace David Bowie's path from space-rock folkie ("Space Oddity") and glam god ("Ziggy Stardust") to blue-eyed soulster ("Young Americans"), and cutting-edge futurist ("Fashion").
21st-century kids might be aware of Bowie via covers by Nirvana ("The Man Who Sold The World") or the Wallflowers ("Heroes"), but it's equally likely they've heard playlist war-horses like '80s alt-pop classics "Let's Dance," "Modern Love," and "China Girl." Not to be missed are this icon's stellar collaborations with a wide range of talent including John Lennon ("Fame"), Queen ("Under Pressure"), Mick Jagger ("Dancing In The Streets"), and The Pat Metheny Group ("This Is Not America"). The latter material rounding out this collection is equally deserving of attention whether it's the howling nihilism of Bowie's group Tin Machine ("Under The God"), a Nine Inch Nails industrial-rock ...

He plays twelve different instruments, including Autoharp, Dobro, Hammered Dulcimer, Mountain Dulcimer, 12 string Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Celtic Harp, Irish Pennywhistle, Psaltery, Concertina and Harmonica.
