JOAN OF ARC was originally recorded in 1968 as a soundtrack to the film of the same name.
Tony Conrad's incalculable influence on popular music began quietly in the avant-garde underground of early-1960s New York when he fostered both John Cale's and Lou Reed's interest in droning, the redefinition of tone intervals, and the exploration of the silent spaces between notes. Reed and Cale of course started the Velvet Underground, and had Conrad's impact stopped there, he could have called it a career. But thankfully he did not, and on JOAN OF ARC, his eighth record--and seventh since his mid '90s comeback--he continues to explore the same sonic territory he has been for years: gorgeous and spare ambient drones that simultaneously lull and haunt the listener. The one hour-long track on JOAN OF ARC features a bowed cello and oscillators in a constant shift of harmony, unison, and dissonance. Lovely.
Personnel: Tony Conrad (pump organ); Tony Conrad.
.The Wire (p.51) - "[Conrad] plays with heroic intensity....The thumping of foot pedals and the clack of keys counterpoint the transitions that occur throughout the length of this piece." Tony Conrad Joan Of Arc Songs

Joan Of Arc CD music
$8.85  
Although Grand Funk's first album, 1969's ON TIME, didn't contain as many instantly recognizable tracks as would future albums (1973's WE'RE AN AMERICAN BAND, for example), it's unquestionably one of the best hard rock debuts ever. While some bands honed their sound over the course of a few albums, GFR had already found its niche with ON TIME, which was one of the first albums to be termed "heavy metal." Sample a young and hungry Grand Funk, with highlights including "Anybody's Answer," "Into the Sun," "Time Machine," and "Are You Ready?"
Grand Funk Railroad's 1969 debut is a wildly uneven affair. Although the exuberant energy and power-trio theatrics that would fuel their 1970s hits are in place, the group's songwriting and arranging abilities are very much in their infancy. The biggest problems in terms of songwriting are the often-amateurish lyrics: "Anybody's Answer" is a sincere but muddled attempt at a message song that expends a lot of energy without ever focusing on a particular target and "Heartbreaker" is a love lament that is content to trot out a series of well-worn heartbreak clichés. In terms of arrangements, the band often places an aimless jam where a tight instrumental break should be. The standout example of this problem is "TNUC," a loose-limbed tune that wears out its welcome with an overlong and unstructured drum solo. Despite these problems, there are some strong tunes in the ...
| | Rachel's Systems/Layers CD (2003)
Joan Of Arc music CDs
$12.79 
Rachel's is a group that defies easy categorization. Variously described as neo-classical, experimental, post-rock, or a chamber ensemble for the indie-rock set, the enigmatic collective specializes in music that blurs the boundaries that usually define genres. They are dedicated to the exploration of ideas and renowned for their independent-minded work with filmmakers, photographers, choreographers, and visual artists.
SYSTEMS/LAYERS was developed by the group in collaboration with the SITI Company for a theater piece of the same name and is based on improvisations and conceptual conversations. Recorded over a two-year period, the album includes material performed live with members of the company, along with field recordings contributed by friends and fans. The result is a fascinating concept piece that takes the listener on a dreamlike journey through an aural landscape whose starkness is intermittently relieved by patches of richly woven textures. Taken as a whole, the album has a discernible pulse, a steady ebb and flow. Mournful melodies played by ...

Joan Of Arc CD music
$21.29
This edition of IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY contains the extra song "Mrs. Robinson," a cover of the Simon & Garfunkel classic, which was not on the original release.
The band's leader Evan Dando received an immense amount of media coverage between this and their next album, COME ON FEEL THE LEMONHEADS. The press saw another self-destructive rock 'n' roller in the making and hounded him about his drug habit. This album, however, is a delight and has the same feel as a Big Star record, or the rolling melody of the early Byrds, but much more sloppy and loose. Dando is a fine ...

| | Carissa's Wierd Songs About Leaving CD (2002)
Joan Of Arc album
$12.79 
Songs About Leaving is the third full-length release from Seattle nouveau rockers Carissa's Wierd. Highly deserving of the label "art rock" in many respects and "indie folk-rock" in others, Carissa's Wierd presents 12-tracks of hauntingly poignant vignettes, brought to life through a dynamic employment of classic string and keyboard elements (standouts include "Farewell to All These Rotten Teeth" and "September Come Take This Heart Away"). Jenn Ghetto and co-singer Matthew Brooke are extremely subtle in their vocalizations, with "You Should Be Hated Here" casting an almost ghost-like pall over chamber pop melodies, as well as "The Piano Song" and venomous scenarios "Sofisticated F**k Princess Please Leave Me Alone" and "Ignorant Piece of Sh*t." Their dual guitar play and vocal interchange ...
| | Best Beer Drinking Album...Ever CD (2004) (Import) Canada
Joan Of Arc CD music
$38.69
Some would assume The Best Beer Drinking Album in the World...Ever to be a rousing mishmash of well-known classic rock anthems, danceable big-beat extravaganzas, and the occasional Tom T. Hall-style novelty -- sort of a Jock Jams for the suds set. But while that record undoubtedly gathers dust in a compilation bin somewhere, EMI Canada's Best Beer Drinking Album takes a more literal bent. Thus, alongside tired sporting event and school dance staples -- Blur's "Song 2," the seven-millionth licensing of Violent Femmes' "Blister in the Sun" -- Best Beer includes a host of tracks with direct reference to taking a tipple. If they happen to be melodic, that's cool, too. There's Steve Earle's moonshine drama "Copperhead ...

Well, here's my first CD, after 4 long years of putting it off. Make no mistake- I have no illusions of being a great vocalist. I just have something to say.I grew up in church, but never really decided to follow God until my late teens. After a few years I kind of "faded" in my faith and my life became a complete wreck. Alcoholism, abusive/using relationships, broken hearts and suicidal thoughts. And then, much to my surprise, I discovered God never gave up on me.This is my story, put to music.If you buy by song, I recommend skipping "E Slide". It's only 47 seconds ...
