Shockout, Vol. 1 CD (2004)

Sty Wars album

$7.29

Ragga-jungle-techno compilations are a dime a dozen, but this one stands out for several reasons. First of all, although information about its component tracks is exceedingly sketchy, there are some common threads running through the program -- most notably the presence of vocalist Wayne Lonesome on no fewer than nine of its 14 tracks (despite the fact that they come from a wide variety of producers and studios and are formally credited to an equally wide variety of artists). Second of all, there is a raw, almost punky urgency to this music that sets it apart from most of its obvious referents. Reggae and dub elements are everywhere (especially on the opening and closing tracks, both dubby instrumentals provided by Paul Dickow), and the vocals are almost exclusively rapped in a Jamaican dancehall style rather than an American hip-hop style. But most of these songs are produced with a cramped, compressed, slightly distorted sound that gives them a slightly frantic atmosphere. There is violence here, but it's not explicitly celebrated -- rather, it's hinted at on disturbing tracks like Rootsman's "Killer" and Wayne ...

Ray Leonard Celestial Touch CD (2005)

Sty Wars CD music

$13.39

Over the course of just four albums, Ray (a.k.a. Ray Leonard) has emerged as one of the most consistently excellent craftsmen in the field of electronic keyboard-based new age music. His music is at once new and old. It harkens back to the golden era of this genre when artists used all manner of synthesizers in celebration of the ethereal feel and celestial sounds the instruments could uniquely make, yet it is wholly modern in superb production quality (Leonard's CDs always sound terrific) and in its avoidance of clichĂŠ. The other aspect of Ray Leonard's recordings that I have come to admire, is his ability to stamp his trademark "vibe" on his music, no matter what the tempo or particular mood of a piece. For me, this is the mark of a truly great new age artist, as only the best are able to do this time after time. Leonard concentrates on composing and performing music that evokes both deep peace and also a subtle sense of awe and wonder (perfectly portrayed by the album cover). When rhythms are present, as they are on some tracks, they are gentle and unforced, never strident or in your face. While there are moments when the music strays into a minor key, much of the album is bathed in warm major key notes and chords. To my ears, some of the tracks also carry a hint of classic space music as well, e.g. Ray frequently features serene washes of keyboards on the recording (such as on the title track "Celestial Touch"). There is a gentleness of spirit that permeates Ray's music. You hear it in the delicate interplay of harp, bell-tones, and hushed choral effects, the subtly majestic piano and synthesizer shadings, the cascading sunshower keyboards and bubbly synth bass, the celebratory bells and softly soaring synths, the whisper soft romanticism, the mysterious haunting or wavy undulations of the neo-ambient. Whatever song you single out on Celestial Touch, you are treated to music that is exceedingly well-produced and engineered, as well as being soulful and sincere - never maudlin or trite. It's puzzling (if not even despairing) that an artist of this caliber doesn't have a huge following. I don't know if people just don't know about him or that the masses' ...
