| | Hayley Westenra Treasure CD - Import Hayley Westenra Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Young New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra's third album to receive an international release, Treasure is a personal collection of Irish and Maori folk songs, including "Shenandoah," "E Pari Ra," and "Danny Boy," recorded in Dublin together with a selection of classical-oriented tracks. As always, there is the minimum of instrumentation -- just a pure soprano voice, singing clearly and very beautifully. For the first time she includes a couple of her own compositions, namely the opening track, "Let Me Lie," and another plaintive folk song, "Summer Rain," beginning almost identically to Enya's "Orinoco Flow" and featuring pizzicato strings throughout. She sings the verse of "Le Notte del Silenzio" in English, while the chorus, on which she is joined in a duet by Humphrey Berney, is sung in Italian. There are a few very short tracks -- "Whispering Hope," an a cappella number with a choral backing, and "Santa Lucia" are only just over the two-minute mark, while "Melancholy Interlude" is even shorter -- and the album closes with the hymn "Abide with Me." ~ Sharon Mawer

Few bass players are as synonymous with funk rock as Bootsy Collins is. Ever since the 1970s, Collins has been laying down the funk on a consistent basis, and by the '90s, he was stronger than ever on the concert stage, as evidenced by the live set, Keepin' da Funk. Recorded in 1995, Collins and his band funk it up with a stellar career overview -- with a heavy emphasis on his solo originals, as well as Parliament-Funkadelic classics. Few artists can transform a large concert hall into a feel-good party as effortlessly as Collins does, and you certainly catch the vibe throughout Keepin' da Funk, which sounds like one long fiesta -- especially with such standouts as "One Nation Under a Groove," "Flash Light," "Roto-Rooter," and "Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy Baby." Collins has ruled the concert stage for decades at this point, and after experiencing Keepin' da Funk, you'll understand what makes ...

It's easy to see why Stiff Little Fingers' Rough Trade debut remains so highly rated, but for the discerning fan of second generation punk, Nobody's Heroes is every bit as special. For a start, new drummer Jim Reilly was an improvement on Brian Faloon (who gets a heartwarming tribute on "Wait and See"). Secondly, Jake Burns' songwriting collaborations with journalist Gordon Ogilvie are really beginning to pay off. The cornerstones of the LP are "Gotta Gettaway," "At the Edge," and "Tin Soldiers" -- three songs which, in different ways, brilliantly articulate the frustrated ambitions of young men in search of expression and identity, trapped in nowhere jobs or situations. Though "Suspect Device" and "Alternative Ulster" had long since ensured they would always be tagged with the label of "political punk," in truth SLF were always more interested in their immediate environment, and finding a way out of it. A couple of plausible stabs at reggae are more than an interesting aside. ~ Alex Ogg
Roaring back with a vengeance and seemingly without pause for breath, NOBODYS HEROES finds Stiff Little Fingers once again examining the frailty of the human condition in time of war. While this preoccupation with life and death can come across as either preachy (Billy Bragg), goofy (Chumbawumba), or even pedantic (the Clash's later work), to SLF it seems more than just a reaction to circumstance than a defense mechanism in a country divided by barbed-wire.
However, SLF are canny enough to realize that no mere punk band can actually cause change by itself (as evidenced in the brilliant title track where lead singer Jake Burns advises fans not to let your heroes get your kicks for you) as true change comes from collective involvement. "Tin Soldiers," with its rant against the futility of the army, and "Fly the Flag" with its indictment of Great Britain's colonialism and neglect of the poor prove that perhaps the best resistance is found in punk rock catharsis. "Bloody Dub" finds the band once again embracing outlaw imagery and the oppositional culture of reggae's most mysteriously satisfying subculture.
Issued only a year after Inflammable Material, if it weren't for Jake Burns' trademark singing voice, punters would swear Nobody's Heroes was the work of a different band. Issued by Chrysalis in the U.K., Stiff Little Fingers sounded like a band who had gone through their own metamorphosis. The songs -- still written by Burns and journalist Gordon Ogilvie -- were tighter, there was a bit more space, and the hooks were solid, cutting razor sharp. While many of the band's original fans cried "sellout" many more new ones came on-board and more temperate critical heads posited that the album was actually light years beyond its predecessor musically and lyrically.

| | Martin Denny Forbidden Island CD (2006) (Import) United Kingdom
Treasure
$15.95
Denny recorded his third album shortly after suffering a key loss in his ranks with the defection of vibraphonist Arthur Lyman, who left to start his own successful solo career. Lyman also recruited a rhythm section that had formerly worked with Denny, who carried on by replacing him with vibraphonist Julius Wechter. At any rate, Martin's sound didn't change much, mixing island sounds, easy listening, and Asian/world music accents. This has compositions by Denny, Wechter, and Les Baxter, as well as some exoticized standards. The entire LP was paired with its follow-up, Primitiva, on a single ...

Sweden's Labrador Records is, in the manner of great indie labels of the past like Factory, Creation, and Sarah, completely incestuous, with members of all of the label's bands helping out on each others' records. For example, the debut album by Airliner finds Kristian Rosengren, the non-singing guitarist from jangle-poppers Aerospace, doing a side project produced by Johan Angergard, one-half of the sublime indie-dance duo Club ...
| | Slumber Party Musik CD (2006)
Treasure
$12.65
Slumber Party: Naomi Ruth, Raquel Salaysay, Aliccia Berg.
Personnel: Alia Allen (vocals, guitar, percussion); Naomi Ruth (vocals, organ, synthesizer, percussion); Raquel Salaysay (vocals, synthesizer); Aliccia Berg (guitar, piano, organ, synthesizer, drum machine); Patty Berg (guitar, bells); Frances Reade (organ).
On its fourth full-length release, the Detroit post-punk girl group's artless vocals and playful instrumentation conjure 1970s ancestors like the Raincoats and the Slits. The band also accesses its folk-memory of 1960s psychedelia on cuts like the tranced-out "This Is Wide" and the dark, Syd Barrett-like "So Sick," while "Electric Ocean" could have been taken directly from Brian Eno's TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN BY STRATEGY, and the deceptive simplicity of "Destruction/Construction" owes much to the Velvet Underground's '60s art-rock playbook.
Slumber Party's simply named fourth album, Musik, builds on the ambitious changes Aliccia Berg began on 3, taking the band -- of which Berg is the only original member -- in some very different directions. A heavy synth pop influence colors Musik, and the "k" in the title could easily stand for Krautrock, based on the motorik grooves, ...
