(1 Customer Review)
The fifth Jagged Edge release continues the group's commitment to a contemporary R&B sound that marries a smooth ballad style to hip-hop-inspired club beats. The lead-off track on this self-titled 2006 release, "Ghetto Guitar," is a fine example of what Jagged Edge does best: blending big beats, accessible samples, and soulful singing punctuated by close-knit harmonies. The velvety slink of "Watch You" finds Jagged Edge back in ballad mode, proving that the group hasn't lost their penchant for slow-jam crooning. "Season's Change" features guest star John Legend on piano and vocals, and is one of the album's highlights. In all, JAGGED EDGE is a slice of first-rate urban contemporary, and should please fans of the group's previous efforts.

Jagged Edge album
$9.09 CURTIS is the first solo album by R&B/soul legend Curtis Mayfield. After leaving the Impressions, Mayfield began to write lyrics that were more politically charged. With the 1970 release of CURTIS, he became one of the most important socially conscious artists of his generation. The album's opener, "(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below We're All Going to Go" uses racial epithets openly, as Mayfield asserts the shiftlessness of America. Set to a funky groove, with smart horn arrangements and wah-wah guitar, this song is a brazen attack on social mores, racism, the Vietnam War, religious impropriety, and Nixon-era politics.
"We the People Who Are Darker Than Blue" is another track that poignantly examines the race and class struggles of urban America. This song is made up of more than just a static groove; its tempos shift midway through and powerful brass figures, timpani punctuations, and harp glissandos soon dominate the mix. Also featuring the powerful "Move On Up," CURTIS is a ...
| | Jagged Edge Hard CD (2003)
Jagged Edge CD music
$8.29 Additional personnel includes: Jermaine Dupri (vocals, drums); Major Damage, Big Boi, Street Katz, Woonie, Jazze Pha (rap vocals); Kevin Hicks, Ray Holton (guitar); Melvin Coleman (keyboards); LaMarquis Jefferson (bass); Tiffany Beaudoin (background vocals); Bryan M. Cox.
Fresh off a 2002 GRAMMY nod for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, Jagged Edge once again brings plenty of harmonies and attitude on its fourth outing, HARD. Working with a coterie of producers that include So So Def founder Jermaine Dupri, the men of JE continue down a path that's equal parts thug and lover. Making like Boyz II Men with swagger, these Atlanta natives easily shift gears from silk-sheet-and-champagne slow jams like "Walked Outta Heaven," "Visions," and the acoustic-guitar kissed "I Don't Wanna," to more up tempo fare, including the call-and-response "Girls Gone Wild" (featuring Major Damage) and the thumping "Tryna Be Your Man." As if all this singing about wooing the ladies wasn't enough, Jagged Edge take it up a notch with a pair of bonus cuts--"Car Show," (featuring a cameo by fellow Georgian and Outkast rapper Big Boi) and a remix of "They Ain't JE" that ...
| | Suicide First Album CDs (1977)
Jagged Edge music CDs
$12.59 Seven years after the duo's inception, Suicide's debut album finally sneaked out in 1977 on the coat tails of the nascent New York punk scene. If its aim had been to confuse, startle, or repulse, SUICIDE succeeded in spades. By the same token, if a part-time sculptor and avant-garde jazz musician form a two-chord synthesizer duo and call it Suicide, commercial considerations are presumably low on their list of priorities. SUICIDE was a record destined to have future journalists reaching for words like "seminal". Synth duos start here.
SUICIDE's bleak, one-act plays of violence and sexual deviance, and that lo-fi monotone punctuated by sleazy groans and horrifying screams, still induce nervous tension despite the passing years. To hear Alan Vega, an Elvis caricature out of time, crooning "Girl" is unsettling enough. When he acts out the desperation of "Frankie Teardrop" over the strictly controlled minimalism of Martin Rev's grinding keyboard and time-bomb rhythm, you're guaranteed a listening experience quite unlike any other.
There is "difficult music," there is "difficult but rewarding music" and then there is Suicide. Rev's distinctive synthesizer squelch came via a broken ...

$11.55 While the Gun Club's debut, FIRE OF LOVE, was a masterpiece of untamed punk blues, follow-up album MIAMI, produced by Blondie's Chris Stein, achieves a fuller sound and a more varied stylistic palette without sacrificing any of its predecessor's intensity. The revved-up blues of yore are ...

| | Vic Latino Summer Vibes CDs (2003)
Jagged Edge songs
$16.29 This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by DJ Vic Latino.
Radio DJ Vic Latino is a fixture on New York City prime time radio, the celebrated compiler of 80s Now!, and he is slated to man the decks for several episodes of MTV Beach House during the summer of 2003. So there's no disputing the power of his brand -- the question is whether he can actually keep your interest over the course of two discs of continuously-mixed breakbeat and club tracks. And the answer is yes, for several reasons. The first reason is low expectations: a two-disc continuous mix of club music is supposed to be functional, not interesting, so when you encounter something as exquisitely lovely as PPK's "Resurrection," or DJ Jean's "Launch," or something as exquisitely cheesy as Agnelli & Nelson's "Everyday 2002," it feels like a surprise party. The second reason is that Vic Latino understands something that few club DJs do, and that is the fact that house music is most effective when it's scattered amongst funkier offerings, as it is here. Two hours of thudding house beats would have been a recipe for a summer headache; two hours of funky breaks interspersed with a few stretches of four-on-the-floor ...
| | Buckethead Cuckoo Clocks Of Hell CD (2004)
Jagged Edge album
$13.79 Cuckoo Clocks of Hell is a full return to Buckethead's blistering, super-heavy guitar heroics after releases that focused on different parts of his multiple musical personalities. That may please the heavy shredder fans, but the relentless pummeling beats can get a bit tiresome. There's no doubting Buckethead's virtuosity, ...
| | Rhian Benson Gold Coast CD (2003) (Import) Bonus DVD; Bonus Track; Japan
Jagged Edge CD music
$41.75 The music of Rhian Benson is an exciting mélange of R&B, soul, jazz, reggae, hip-hop, and worldbeat. Her debut recording titled Gold Coast features the stunning vocalist interpreting 13 songs that she wrote and co-produced with James Poyser (Lauryn Hill, the Roots, Jill Scott) and Bob Power (D'Angelo, A Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu). Her warm, jazz-influenced vocals are a natural result of her strong musical heritage (both of her parents are musicians) and by being nourished and encouraged by the profusion of music and musicians that surrounded her during her upbringing in Africa, India, and England. Gold Coast opens with "Words Hurt Too," a sad ballad about the insensitive remarks that can cause a great relationship to go wrong. Benson's sensitive interpretation captures the essence of heartbreak through her use of earthy blue notes and elongated rhythmic phrasings. Her voice is so unfeigned, and her lyrics are so heartfelt. On "The One," you can literally feel the sincerity in her voice as she asks "are you the one?" Benson also makes her listeners aware of her exceptional songwriting skills. Her creative use of metaphors makes her songs extremely simpatico especially on such songs as "Stealing My Peace of Mind,""Invincible," and "Gold Sky." Benson closes the set with "Spirit," a peaceful Ashanti ballad that delivers a sense of serenity, encouragement, and assurance to those seeking their way in life. Her voice is calm and assuring as she sings in the Ghanaian language over soft guitar chords and emotional string arrangements. Joined by a plethora of world-class musicians including Roy Hargrove on horns, Ndugu Chancler on drums, Alphonso Johnson on acoustic bass, and many others, Benson has brought an uncomplicated innocence and freedom from pretense to her music that should continue to attract a multitude ...
| | 5 Royales It's Hard But It's Fair: The King Hits And Rarities CD (2005) (Import) United Kingdom
Jagged Edge music CDs
$16.99 Although this compilation does indeed contain both hits and rarities, it has more value to the collector looking for rarities than it does to the more general fan looking for the best "5" Royales anthology. While some of their biggest hits and most well-known songs are here (particularly "Think," "Dedicated to the One I Love," and "Tell the Truth"), it's missing some of their R&B chart singles. Nor does it have any of the material (including a few R&B smashes) they recorded in the early 1950s for Apollo, being wholly devoted to sides they cut between 1954-60 for King. So Rhino's Monkey Hips and Rice still gets the nod as the best "5" Royales retrospective, but for those who want more, the 26-track It's Hard But It's Fair: The King Hits and Rarities is a good collection. It's dominated by songs that don't usually make "5" Royales' anthologies, and though it does have a lot of material (both hit and non-hit) that almost anyone who buys this will already have, those hits and other highlights actually do make the CD more listenable as a whole. And while some of the rarities here are routine, others are very good, and about as good an illustration of the group's importance in aiding R&B's transition to soul as their better-known sides are. Particularly satisfying are those cuts that spotlight Lowman Pauling's guitar playing, which got more uninhibited, slashing, and bluesy as the group neared the end of their King stint in the late '50s. True, most of the best of those -- not just "Dedicated to the One I Love" and "Think," but also the relatively obscure "The Slummer the Slum," "Say It," and "I Know It's Hard But It's Fair" -- do appear on Monkey Hips and Rice. Many of the other songs on this ...
