Ray Davies Kinks Choral Collection CD (2009)

Jetstream

$14.38

Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks Choral Collection isn't nearly as stuffy and middlebrow as so many of these orchestral rock albums; he manages to inject some semblance of rock & roll by pushing the songs forward with guitar, and letting the rhythms swing instead of plod. This looseness is the first big surprise of the album. The second is its unrepentant but quite possibly accidental silliness, how many of the major guitar riffs are transposed for choir, an audacious idea in concept that's simply goofy in practice. These choral chants hamper the hardest rocking songs here -- "You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night," "Victoria" -- and they're mercifully absent from the slower tunes, songs that benefit from the gentle layered harmonies. In comparison ...

Wechsel Garland Isle CD (2003) (Import) Germany

Jetstream

$15.05
A collaboration, but not entirely -- it's more an interwoven effort split between the work of World Standard, aka Japanese musician Sohichiro Suzuki, and Wechsel Garland, German performer Jorg Follert, who traded various elements by mail. The Isle shifts back and forth between the two, each exploring in his own way the kind of post-Beach Boys bliss pop that became commonplace in the '90s. The emphasis is much more on the melancholic instrumental contemplation conjured up in the post-Smile days of that band, though, with piano, strings, marimba, and more, used by both artists, conjuring up a hazy never-never land of tropical wonder. Follert's "A Found Chart" revolves around slightly queasy strings and gentle acoustic guitar, and Suzuki's "The Whale" has a soft, haunting lead melody that suggests Brian Eno more than Brian Wilson. There's jaunty humor in amid the careful reflection, though -- Follert's "The Long Walk" jumps along ...

Onekingpoets Major Wood CD (2006)

Jetstream

$22.79
It would be tempting to say, in that journalistic cliche, that One King Poets are a controlled musical explosion. Mining an unfashionable vein of groove-based, electrified improvisation, they invite comparison with '70s Miles, Mahavishnu and, at times, Last Exit. But such comparisons can be lazy and, as Richard Sanderson points out in his sleeve notes, they're also unhelpful to all concerned, as journalistic cliches often are. Anyway, OKP aren't polite enough to control themselves -- they just explode. This group, like the wonderful FJQ, is built on the granite foundation of drummer Robin Musgrove and bassist Jerry Bird. The former favours 6/8 and 4/4 rhythms and swings so hard it's prudent to open the windows. Bird locks in with him using an unconventional two-handed tapping technique on the fretless bass; the result is a swaggering, quasi-tonal funk. As a duo, these two can make very involving music, but OKP's initial lineup also included saxophonist Mike Walter. His gutsy, bad-boy ...
