Like volume one, this is a poorly sequenced and annotated jumble of obscure and readily available vintage 1960s San Francisco rock tracks, filled out with '80s and '90s comeback efforts by musicians in some bands from that period and area, and miscellaneous items that don't have obvious connections to the '60s SF rock scene. It does play a little better than its predecessor, though it could hardly be considered essential, even to diehard Bay Area rock freaks. Again, there's a rare Jefferson Airplane performance, this time "Embryonic Journey" (actually a Jorma Kaukonen solo), recorded live at the Matrix in 1965. The Airplane version of "Runnin' Round This World" (planned for, but removed from their first album) sounds suspiciously like the one you can hear on the standard RCA reissue Takes Off, except it seems to have been funneled through a tincan. Otherwise, there are early Moby Grape and It's a Beautiful Day tracks that are available on their well-known debut albums; ...

Melanie C Northern Star CD (1999)

TBS 55th Anniversary Namida songs

$12.79

This version of NORTHERN STAR replaces the previous version and contains two bonus tracks. The debut solo effort from Melanie C proves that the musical sensibilities of the woman otherwise known as Sporty Spice are informed by far more than just bublegum pop. The majority of these songs are about forced maturation, leaving loved ones behind, and facing up to the realities of a world colored by tragedy, heartache, and emotional pain. William Orbit adds his deft production touch to the album-opening "Go!," creating an electronic soundscape at once insurgent and ethereal. Electronics also tinge the fiery "Goin' Down," on which the song's principal character, stung by betrayal, declares "From this little hitch/I have become a superbitch." "If That Were Me" is an affecting composition on which the singer addresses the plight of the homeless. Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of TLC fame makes a guest appearance on the catchy "Never Be the Same Again." Even Rick Rubin takes a turn in the production booth for the Beatles-esque romp "Suddenly Monday." Perhaps the album's most inviting track is the bittersweet ballad "Be the One," on which Mel floats through the upper register with grace and ease. Although she wasn't anointed Indie Spice by the British music press until after the Spice Girls' second album, Melanie Chisholm always made it clear that she preferred Blur to Take That. Of course, her personal musical tastes never surfaced on the Spices' albums, which may be the reason she is the first Spice to release a solo album while still in the group. With her debut, Northern Star, Mel C wants to break from her Sporty Spice persona while proving herself as a legitimate musician and she does, more or less, with a surprisingly diverse record. Melanie C has a fairly strong voice, a good sense of melody, and carries a tune with some personality, which is one of the reasons why the genre-hopping of Northern Star works. She can convincingly deliver everything from the pop balladry of the title track to the snarling, neo-industrial punk statement of purpose "Goin' Down." And it's a good thing that she can sound convincing on a variety of different styles, since Northern Star attempts to summarize pop music circa 1999. It begins with "Go!," a William Orbit-produced slice of swinging '60s pop with electronica underpinnings, and closes with the ballad "Feel the Sun." In between, she tries a bit of everything -- Brit pop on "Suddenly Monday," post-Garbage modern rock on "Ga Ga," techno-inflected dance on "I Turn to You," urban balladry on "Never Be the Same Again" (complete with a rap by Left Eye Lopes), and melodic adult pop on "Why." Certainly, that's a bit more stylistically schizophonic than Geri Halliwell's album, but that's its charm. It's not a knock-out, yet Northern Star is a solid, well-crafted ...
