| | Patrick Wolf Magic Position CD - Import Patrick Wolf Discography of CDs
On his 2007 major-label debut, THE MAGIC POSITION, Irish singer-songwriter Patrick Wolf largely abandons his brooding Nick Cave-like demeanor (expertly displayed on '05's acclaimed WIND IN THE WIRES), opting instead to embrace the aesthetic of a brightly bedecked, life-loving dandy. What hasn't changed in this POSITION is Wolf's wildly inventive approach, which fully showcases the young performer's expressive croon and multi-instrumental skills on tracks ranging from the swooning, New Romantic-influenced "Bluebells" to the pulsing, beat-driven "Accident and Emergency" to the delicate, jazzy "Enchanted." As unpredictable and fascinating as Wolf himself, THE MAGIC POSITION demands attention for its kaleidoscopic vision and bold, dynamic sound.
Enhanced 2007 album from the talented Irish singer/songwriter, who mixes British folk with Chamber Pop and modern studio trickery and has garnered praise from critics around the world. 14 tracks including the enhanced video for the hit single 'Bluebells'. Polydor.Rolling Stone (p.80) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Patrick Wolf has gotten twice as good with every album, and he's already up to his third....Wolf's joy is contagious..."
Spin (p.91) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A]ll colors, twinkles, and buzzes...there's hardly anything he can't twist into polymorphous eroticism."
Magnet (p.112) - "Wolf plays to his strengths on THE MAGIC POSITION: classical structures, Broadway-caliber staging and a resounding rich singing voice."
CMJ (p.39) - "[T]he most electrifying instrument laid to tape here is Wolf's theatrical croon, which shape-shifts between Morrissey's emotive falsetto and Dave Gahan's dangerously sexy baritone." Patrick Wolf Magic Position Songs | 1. | Overture | $0.99 | |

| | Tom Waits Glitter And Doom Live CDs (2009) Digipak
Magic Position CD music
$14.38   
Glitter and Doom Live, a double-disc set, marks Tom Waits' third live effort in his nearly 40-year career, each one summing up his career to the point of its release. The first, Nighthawks at the Diner issued in 1975 on Asylum, is regarded by many as one of the greatest live albums of all time. The second was Big Time, released during his tenure at Island in 1986. The musical performances on disc one of Glitter and Doom Live were culled from Waits' historic sold-out tour of the U.S. and Europe. He compiled and sequenced the set himself, intending to make them sound like a single show. The material leans, understandably, on his recordings with the Anti label. There are stellar performances here, such as "Get Behind the Mule" from The Mule Variations, "Trampled Rose" from Real Gone, and a haunting version of Leadbelly's "Fannin Street" from Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, to mention just three of the 17 cuts here. But he goes back to his Island albums too. For instance, there are completely re-visioned readings of "Lucky Day" and "I'll Shoot the Moon" from 1993's Black Rider, and a killer -- though equally revamped -- version of "Singapore" from 1985's Rain Dogs. Musically, the performances are flawless, as is the sound on this set. The killer stage band includes Vincent Henry on woodwinds and harmonica, guitarist Omar Torres, Patrick Warren on piano and keyboards, Casey Waits on drums/percussion, and Seth Ford Young on bass. There is also ...

Magic Position album
 $10.49
A HARD DAY'S NIGHT presents a fictionalized day in the life of the Beatles as they give a performance on a live television show. Filmed just a month after their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964, this film--the Beatles' first--introduces us to the unique personalities of each member of the band. The film opens with the Fab Four boarding a train mobbed with adoring young fans (mostly women) as they attempt to travel to the television studio in London. The antics of the band during rehearsals and makeup application provide a large part of the comic material in this feature, though there are other moments of pure hilarity. The unscripted vignette featuring a hangover-suffering Ringo is especially funny, particularly when he is arrested and risks having to miss the broadcast. None of this goes unnoticed by the director of the show, played ...
| | King Crimson In The Court Of The Crimson King CD (1969) Bonus Tracks
Magic Position CD music
$102.39 
Initial pressings featured a limited edition, cardboard-stock gatefold sleeve and unpublished archive photos.
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 heavy rock, and even a free- jazz sensibility. Greg Lake's vocals are effectively theatrical but more restrained than in his later ELP work. Robert Fripp was just learning how to make mincemeat of a chord progression, but he's alternately lyrical and frenetic as the moment requires.
The extended jams on cuts like "Moonchild" are light-footed and inventive, never ponderous, thanks largely to the crisp, jazzy drumming of Michael Giles. "20th Century Schizoid Man"'s bone-crushing ensemble riffs and crazed solos were of a heft unprecedented in rock & roll. Most importantly, the trademark Crimson would stick to throughout their career is shown here--dynamic variations between soft/lyrical and raucous/experimental. This was seen not just between songs but in the drastic dynamic shifts between sections in ...
| | David Bowie CD (1967)
Magic Position music CDs
$6.29
This version of DAVID BOWIE contains two bonus tracks and extensive liner notes.
This is Bowie's debut album (originally titled LOVE YOU 'TIL TUESDAY), which was released in June 1967.
After a few years of cutting R&B covers and shouty Beatle/Who knock-offs, David Bowie graduated to the sort of dizzying musical experimentation which was soon to make him the stuff of legend. DAVID BOWIE shows a Bowie far removed from of Davie Jones the King Bees or Manish Boys, well on his way to the eclectic luminary status he was soon to achieve. DAVID BOWIE is a surprisingly sprawling affair--composed entirely by the 19-year old Bowie, it reflects a drastic movement from the imitative, R&B-tinged early efforts to a staggering musical complexity and often-abstract poetic wordplay.
Embracing the hyper-dramatic efforts of then-man-about-town Anthony ...
| | Lightnin Hopkins Blues Hoot: Live At The Ash Grove CD (1996)
Magic Position songs
$9.35
Recorded live at the Ash Grove, Los Angeles, California in August 1961.
The DCC gold disc reissue of BLUES HOOT includes four tracks not found on the original release.
Recorded live at The Ash Grove, Hollwood, California, August, 1961. Originally released on Davon (2015) in 1961. Includes liner notes by Barbara Dane.
Blues Hoot is a live recording from 1961, taped at the Ash Grove in Hollywood, California, featuring short acoustic sets from Lightnin' Hopkins and the folk- blues duo Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, as well as a middle set where all three play together, joined by Big Joe Williams. Highlights include "Big Car Blues" by Hopkins, and a spirited version of"Down by the Riverside" by Terry and McGhee, as well as two bonus tracks by the duo "("I'm a Stranger Here,"" "Trouble In Mind") recorded at the Troubadour. There's nothing groundbreaking here, but it's a pleasant show with all participants in peak form. ~ Steve Leggett
Lightnin' Hopkins is the star of this live recording, made at an August 1961 concert at the Ash Grove in Hollywood featuring Hopkins, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee (with Big Joe Williams sitting in on three numbers). It isn't remotely unique, joining a long list of club recordings by all three, although the original LP (on the Davon and Horizon labels) was obscure enough that collectors may welcome this CD. The sound is excellent, and the original master tape has yielded one extra Terry/McGhee track ("Po' Boy") and one extra Hopkins/Terry/McGhee song ("Early Morning Blues") from the same ...
