Moya Brennan Two Horizons CD (2003) Enhanced CD

Signature album

$10.69

Moya (Maire) Brennan helped to revolutionize Celtic music as a member of the band Clannad. This group paid homage to the musical customs of Ireland but also remained forward-looking. TWO HORIZONS continues the journey into the enchanted world of the modern Irish ballad. The music on this release falls decidedly into the New Age category, but it also maintains the underlying melodicism and delicate poetry inherent in traditional Irish music. Songs such as "Bi Liom" feature a great deal of multi-tracking, allowing Brennan to sound like a one-woman choir. Similar to Clannad's "Theme from Harry's Game," rich harmonies abound on this piece as Brennan gently glides over the wispy keyboard accompaniment. Other tunes such as "River" and "Ancient Town" use subtle electronic backbeats. However, the focus is still on Brennan's mellifluous turns of phrase. Not surprisingly, "Harpsong" is centered on an elegant harp melody. This selection recalls the Turlough O'Carolan style of harp and is the most traditional composition on TWO HORIZONS. Lyrically, this album draws heavily from Irish folklore, but the warmth of each track is ultimately derived from Brennan's voice itself. Maire (pronounced Moya, as the label is now making clear) Brennan is "the voice of Clannad", the international Celtic vocal group ...

Bryan Ferry Boys And Girls CD (1985) SACD Hybrid

Signature CD music

$15.99

All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology. This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. Ferry's first solo effort since the second breakup of Roxy Music is arguably his best, in part because it continues in the direction the band had been going. It's like AVALON, only more so. Here, Ferry's lounge lizard affectations are writ large; the lyrical pose is all bruised romantic fatalism (say hello, "Slave to Love"), and the music fits it like a glove. The album's soundscapes are lush and echo-laden, and nearly every track has a discreet disco pulse; "Valentine," the one exception, is mid-tempo ...

Kate Bush Aerial CDs (2005)

Signature music CDs

$15.95

Since the 1980s Kate Bush has shouldered the unhappy burden of having to live up to her own brilliance: albums like THE DREAMING and HOUNDS OF LOVE set a high watermark for shimmering, adventurous, off-kilter pop. In the 12 years that transpired between the releases of 1993's THE RED SHOES and 2005's AERIAL, expectations ran high that Bush had something monumental in store. AERIAL does not necessarily meet those expectations, but that is not to imply that it's a lackluster release either. A double-disc set that encompasses a collection of songs about domesticity (the first disc, A SEA OF HONEY) and a conceptual suite that details the passing of a day (the second disc, A SKY OF HONEY), AERIAL is ambitious, lovely, intensely personal, and marked by Bush's unique approach to music-making. The fierce edginess of THE DREAMING-era Bush is replaced by deep meditations on family life ("Bertie"), familiar chores ("Mrs. Bartolozzi"), and the cycles of time ("Sunset"). Bush's gentle singer/songwriter mode is combined with jazz, rock, classical, electronica, and other elements for a musical experience that sustains her reputation as one our most adventurous and distinctive ...

Bill Frisell History, Mystery CDs (2008)

Signature CD music

$17.85

Guitar maestro Bill Frisell outdoes himself in ambition and diversity on the two-disc HISTORY, MYSTERY. Performing with a rich string-laden octet, the artist threads together 30 tracks, some of which derive from his collaboration with cartoonist Jim Woodring entitled "Mysterio Sympatico," and others drawn from the music Frisell composed for the NPR series STORIES FROM THE HEART OF THE LAND. As always, Frisell's eclectic style freely blends genres together, mixing chamber music with free jazz, front porch Americana with high-minded atmospherics. Three covers-Thelonious Monk's "Jackie-ing," Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come," and Boubacar Traore's "Baba Drame"-complement Frisell's originals. By turns moody and celebratory, playful and soulful, challenging and eminently listenable, HISTORY, MYSTERY ...
