| | Some Kind Of Wonderful Soundtrack CD - Import
No other popular filmmaker in the '80s exhibited a thirst for new wave more than John Hughes. The soundtrack for Hughes' Pretty in Pink exposed such college-radio heroes as New Order, the Psychedelic Furs, the Smiths, and Echo and the Bunnymen to the Top 40 crowd. Consider the Some Kind of Wonderful soundtrack as its even hipper sequel. While the Pretty in Pink soundtrack assembled new wave artists with substantial cult followings, Some Kind of Wonderful digs deeper in the import section; names like Blue Room, Lick the Tins, and the Apartments are probably unfamiliar to the most hardcore of new wave enthusiasts. Nevertheless, the songs are accessible and catchy, as if they were ripped from an underground pop station's nightly countdown. The wounded emotions in Blue Room's piano ballad "Cry Like This" simmer with palpable teen angst; Flesh for Lulu's "I Go Crazy" is high-spirited synth pop with glam rock guitars; and Furniture's brooding "Brilliant Mind" reflects the icy detachment of adolescent depression. The March Violets also transform the Rolling Stones' "Miss Amanda Jones" into a new wave singalong, while the Apartments sneak coy indie pop onto a major label. Lick the Tins' remake of "Can't Help Falling in Love" encapsulates the innocence of teen love with its little-girl vocals. The Some Kind of Wonderful soundtrack offers minor-leaguers an opportunity to play for the masses, and each one scores a home run. ~ Michael Sutton Some Kind Of Wonderful Soundtrack Music | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Soundtrack CDs | | Label | Beat Goes On | | Orig Year | 1986 | | CD Universe Part number | 7364584 | | Catalog number | 178 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Dec 11, 2007 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Producer | Stephen Hague | | Recording Time | 36 minutes | | Additional Info | United Kingdom |

His first release and an excellent document of his unique style in embryo, More City Madness presents Craig Bennett with an impressive grasp of his pop songwriting muse, even at this early stage in his progression. Already an incredibly descriptive songwriter with odd lyrical couplets and strange phrasing creating an almost beat poetry feel to some of the tracks, Bennett's pairing of anomalous narratives is matched by his loosely unraveling musical aesthetic. But even as the lyrics often don't rhyme or seem to be logically connected, his songwriting vision generally doesn't suffer at all, as the mood set by the lyrics ...

As an integral member of the Isley Brothers and Isley/Jasper/Isley, and as a successful solo artist, Chris Jasper has been at the forefront of progressive R&B music since the early 1970's. His professional career began in 1973, when the original Isley Brothers vocal trio expanded to include younger brothers, Ernie and Marvin, and brother-in-law, Chris, to create the musical component of the newly-created, self-contained group, the "Isley Brothers".The Isley Brothers made their vinyl debut that same year with the groundbreaking "3&3" album, followed by a series of modern R&B classics such as "Who's That Lady," "Fight the Power," "Live it Up," and "For the Love of You." Chris Jasper was the key instrumentalist, arranger and songwriter on all of the Isley Brothers material, including the gold and platinum albums "Showdown"," "Go all the Way," and "The Heat is On." In January 1992, Chris Jasper was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for his accomplishments over the 13 years he was with the group, with 11 gold and 4 platinum albums to his credit. In 1984, the Isley Brothers split up and Chris, Marvin and Ernie formed Isley/Jasper/Isley. Chris, the lead vocalist on most of IJI's recordings, was responsible for the majority of the writing and production for the new group. The trio released three high-quality albums on the CBS Associated label, including "Caravan of Love", which featured the #1 out-of-the-box title hit, written and sung by Chris and subsequently covered by English recording group, the Housemartins, who made "Caravan" an international #1 pop hit. "Caravan Of Love" has also been used in the Dodge Caravan commercials. Caravan of love ' was also recorded by Marvin Sap (appears on the WoW 2000 gospel album). In January 1988, IJI disbanded and Chris Jasper went solo, forming ...

Body Of Scars, however, is it's own animal and there is no resting on laurels for these metal maniacs, "'From day one Randy, Rikard and myself wanted to do something different from what we did in all of our other bands or projects and Body of Scars was born'. The quartet formed late in 2006 when friends Randy Davis and James Santiago got together to drink a few cold ones and talk some shop. The duo brought out the guitars and before they knew it they had written two or three songs, Davis ...
