| | Am Gold: 1968 CD
Time-Life's AM Gold '60s series provides a highly enjoyable history lesson. Each year is represented by 22 songs drawn from a wide range of sources, features all very big hits all the time, and plays like an hour of true golden oldies radio. The entry from 1968 collects some great soul (Otis Redding's "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"), pop (B.J. Thomas' "Hooked on a Feeling," the Rascals' "Beautiful Morning," Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman"), and a whole bunch of one-shot wonders (Hugh Masakela's "Grazing in the Grass," Merrilee Rush's "Angel of the Morning," and Mason Williams' "Classical Gas") and oddities (José Feliciano's "Light My Fire," Dion's "Abraham, Martin and John"). In other words, you'll get a pretty good idea of what was going on in the charts from this disc, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better single-disc collection of hits from the year. ~ Tim Sendra Am Gold: 1968 Review

Am Gold: 1968 album
 $11.18   
Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is carnal. And for as sexy as Shakira is -- crucially, her music is sexy too -- what really gives She Wolf its bite is her inspired nuttiness, how she laments that Matt Damon's not meant for her, and wishes her ex-lover and his new girl a horrible vacation where the room smells and the toilet doesn't flush. "Darling, it is no joke, this is lycanthropy," she sings on the title track with no small trace of humor, and this blend of cheerful ...

| | California Guitar Trio Echoes CD (2008) Digipak
Am Gold: 1968 songs
$12.95
The California Guitar Trio have been plying their formula for over a decade now: applying their combined virtuosity to a few originals, some classical pieces, some surf music, and the occasionally kitschy cover. For Echoes, they've left out the originals and added a few new wrinkles. The album begins, sounding like just about any California Guitar Trio release, but the ears perk up a bit when electric guitar enters during Beethoven's Unmei. "Echoes" has still more electric guitar along with additional keys, bass, and theremin (there are a number of guest spots on the album, including past cohort Tony Levin). "Echoes" is nicely done, but "Tubular Bells" comes off even better since the composition itself really lends itself to the CGT modus operandi. "Bohemian Rhapsody" might seem like an odd choice, but their instrumental arrangement makes it sound more like it came from the pen of Beethoven than Freddie Mercury (although somebody nails Brian May's solo). Then things sort of veer off the normal course for a CGT album. ...

Am Gold: 1968 album

"The final track clocks in at a staggering nine and half minutes, and is nothing short of 100% pure, tripped out synthetic bliss." — Sea of Tranquility"A beautiful piece of avant-garde electronica." — ReGen Magazine "Like spending 40 minutes inside an especially creepy toy shop." — Terrascope"A realm of broken rhythm, gentle lulls and biting, jagged industrial insanity." — Subba-Cultcha"Like an electronica orchestra going berserk. Theater of the mind music that keeps you on your toes and is always changing, which is very important in these days of 30 second attention spans." — Heathen Harvest"Envelopes you in a bizzaro world aesthetic that somehow manages to be dark and disturbing yet reassuring. The epic 9+ minutes closer, 'Flying Undead Overhead,' is a truly gorgeous opus, masterfully expressing the most natural and pure emotions with the most synthetic palette possible." — Ohmpark Atlanta Music Blog**Ohmpark rated Radiance one of the Top 15 Atlanta CDs of 2008"An ominously apocalyptic parade of pieces that may serve well as the winning side's celebratory soundtrack once humanity falls and the machines take over once and for all." — Stomp and Stammer"Wicked, textural, and disturbing." — MastanMusic"Rhythm is still very much the order of the day, with much of the album based on a series of complex and bewildering beats upon which a swirling kaleidoscope of electronica is constructed." — Wonderful Wooden Reasons"Grotesque ...
