| | Sally Oldfield Mirrors Antology CD - Import Sally Oldfield Discography of CDs
This double-disc is a very solid collection of Sally Oldfield's recordings for the CBS subsidiary Bronze (don't laugh, Uriah Heep was on there too). Before her brief resurgence in the '90s, Oldfield's recordings were new age before there was such a term. She brought not only a songwriter's sense of elegance to tape, but also an instrumentalist's sense of silence and dynamic. Brother Mike Oldfield helped out on "Waterbearer," perhaps he best-known offering here, as well as on some of the subsequent tracks on later records. Oldfied was the real precursor to people like Enya and Loreena McKennitt, marrying a classicist's sense of arrangement and dynamic to a mystic's heart and a Celtic woman's abiding folk history, myth, and legend. These two discs are impeccably remastered and offer a wonderful introduction to a talent who, at least on this side of the pond, never got her proper due. ~ Thom Jurek

Okay, this album's omnipresence (it produced no less than five charting singles out of 12 songs) on radio and television for over a year and a half--alongside singer Michael Hutchence's mass media anointment as THE premier rock and roll sex symbol of the late '80s--makes it difficult to hear KICK as simply an album. KICK isn't a pop culture icon on the level of BORN IN THE USA or IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK, but once you've hit a certain commercial threshold and the inevitable backlash has set in (see also THE JOSHUA TREE and I DO NOT WANT WHAT I HAVEN'T GOT), the musical worth of a disc ceases to matter much. KICK's five hits are ...

BIO for CDBABY.COMChapel Hill indie rock and L.A. hair metal. Polar opposites, right? And ne’er in the ‘tween shall they meet… except when two Shady Cats, Grady Crumpler and Bill Eagen, get together to record.While Grady was playing in SPECS and going to school at UNC – Chapel Hill, Bill was in Los Angeles with his band, Shattered Truth. While Grady was taking in all the music in Chapel Hill, Bill was bumping into Axl Rose at the grocery store (where Bill could occasionally afford to buy the staples for lettuce and ketchup sandwiches). How could two players with such vastly different experiences make music together? The answer: hands-on music education.Grady got his hands on a treasure-trove of vinyl LP’s when his uncle took a job in England and entrusted him with a large record collection, heavy on British Invasion and seminal American acts. Inundated with great music and inspired to play along (on said uncle’s Les Paul, no less), Grady couldn’t help but come up some ...

Mirrors Antology songs
$13.85
With their satisfying sophomore release, Love Spirals Downwards begin a shift toward more ambient tunes (three of them, one without vocals, fit perfectly within that realm), no doubt partly due to Ryan Lum's interest in artists like Steve Roach and Brian Eno. On some tracks, the duo also begins a folksier approach, one that is natural given that such numbers make for more concert-friendly fare and keep the band from being pigeonholed. The gritty dream pop guitar is still in the mix, although one can sense the subtle shift to the less studio-based sound that would come with Ever. ~ Bryan Reesman

"Like standing under a waterfall: guitar trickles & swirls like a mist around you; as warm cascading female harmonies envelop you, washing you in beauty and melancholy."'Ardor' is the 1994 follow-up to Love Spirals Downwards' critically acclaimed Projekt debut, 'Idylls.' For this 2007 reissue band founder, sole musician, and producer, Ryan Lum returned to his master tapes to ensure the highest sound quality possible. Lum has said that he "always felt the mastering quality was lacking, particularly ...
