| | Larrikin Love Freedom Spark CD - Import Larrikin Love Discography of CDs
Debut album from this quirky UK Britpop band that has impressed critics with their hit singles and amazed audiences with their live performances. Includes the singles 'Happy As Annie', 'Edwould' and 'Downing Street Kindling'. For fans of The Kooks! 11 tracks. WEA. 2006.
The band known as Larrikin Love, consisting of brothers Edward and Micko Larrikin together with rhythm section Alfie Ambrose on bass and Coz Kerrigan on drums, released their debut and what would prove to be their only album, The Freedom Spark, in the autumn of 2006. It was quite a mixture: on the one hand, there was a set of upbeat happy-sounding songs -- some ska, some Brit-pop, some pop-punk -- using fiddles and banjos to give a folky feeling somewhat similar to what the Pogues had done throughout their career; and on the other hand, the lyrics contained in these songs spoke of despair and the darkest, most depressing thoughts imaginable. Possibly the most infectious and happy melody could be heard on the track "Happy as Annie," but the lyrics tell the story of coming across a rape victim wearing a straw hat and only later, having examined the girl in more detail, coming to the conclusion that she isn't sleeping, but dead. The song "Six Queens" deals with transvestite prostitution, and there is a sense of dissatisfaction with society in general -- especially on the track "Downing Street Kindling," in which a promise is made to tear down the door and set fire to the prime minister's residence, with the claim that "England has nothing more to offer me." There are echoes here of the Sex Pistols' "no future" from "God Save the Queen," but with far less anger. If one can imagine a song with elements of the Pogues and Roger Waters' Pink Floyd thrown in, there is the final track, "A Burning Coast," which veers between these two extremes. By 2007, Larrikin Love had announced they were splitting up, which was a shame, as it would have been interesting to see how they might have developed. ~ Sharon Mawer

KC's debut album introduced to the world a group that threw various '60s genres into a blender and set the results afire with a blowtorch. One of the pioneers of the progressive rock movement that began in the late '60s and flourished in the early '70s, King Crimson was arguably the most consistently creative band in the genre. On IN THE COURT they blend wispy, Donovan-ish folk-rock with Wagnerian grandeur, mind-bending ...

When he was recording his debut album in 2006, Chris Daughtry didn't have the time to assemble the real rock band he so desperately wanted to have, so it appeared under the band name Daughtry without featuring any of the musicians who later became part of the group. That's not the case with LEAVE THIS TOWN, Daughtry's second record: all five members are glowering on the album cover, floating like specters over an abandoned Californian street. The five rockers serve as visual evidence that Daughtry ...

Freedom Spark CD music
$12.19 
It's no secret that Sting is a serious man, so it's only logical that his holiday album -- his first new music since the Police reunion, not that it really matters -- is a serious endeavor, thank you. No niceties for him, no comforts of carols; he favors formal over familiar, writing madrigals, not ditties. It is music made by someone who lives in a castle, which isn't necessarily such a bad thing: the austerity is genuine, not affected, and the cerebral nature of the album is fascinating, albeit mildly so, as this is as sleepy as it is thoughtful. And it's that thoughtfulness that does distinguish IF ON A WINTER NIGHT...; no other Christmas album exists in the head like this. It's a holiday album for people who have never wanted to hear a holiday album, let alone ...

| | David Bowie Live In Santa Monica '72 CD (2008)
Freedom Spark CD music
$36.09
Only available in bootleg versions before this 2008 EMI release, LIVE SANTA MONICA '72 presents David Bowie in full glam-rock grandeur completely inhabiting his outlandish Ziggy Stardust persona as he leads his Spiders from Mars through a fierce set that draws heavily from HUNKY DORY and, not surprisingly, THE RISE & FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST. In addition to cherry-picking many of the finest tunes from Bowie's early era (most notably a thunderous extended version of "The Width of a Circle"), the set also finds the erstwhile Davy Jones covering Jacques Brel (a wistful take on "My Death" that nods to key Bowie influence Scott Walker) and the Velvet Underground (a faithful version of "Waiting for the Man"). Easily one of the best Bowie concert albums available, LIVE SANTA MONICA '72 is ideal for Ziggy acolytes and glam disciples.
In 1972, David Bowie set out on his first US tour. He'd recently introduced the world to his Ziggy Stardust persona with his top 5 album 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' and had completed a hugely successful UK tour. The Santa Monica concert, David's first live US radio broadcast, was aired live on KMET in L.A. Over the last 36 years this historic recording has only been occasionally available as a bootleg. For many, ownership of this concert was regarded as a true test of being a 'proper Bowie fan'. This powerful, galvanizing show allows a more than 70 minute glimpse into the earliest nationwide live radio exposure granted David and the Spiders. The set list is compiled primarily from the 'Hunky Dory' and 'Ziggy Stardust' albums and features two covers, Jacques Brel's "My Death" and the Velvet Underground's "Waiting for the Man," alongside the awesome power of 'The Man Who Sold The World' centrepiece "The Width Of A Circle" (this version is a ten and a half minute sonic assault) and an 'Aladdin Sane' previewing "The Jean Genie." The set list is also quite different from the Ziggy terminating 'Ziggy Stardust - The Motion Picture Soundtrack. Accompanying David ...
