When the beloved British folk outfit Pentangle reformed in 1982 (minus John Renbourne), they came together renewed and strengthened by their outside exploits. Their first studio album after their reunion, OPEN THE DOOR, reflects a new muscularity undergirding the old Elizabethan coloratura. Bert Jansch's dexterous guitar playing (his solo instrumental "The Dolphin" is a highpoint) provides the setting for Jaqui McShee's glittering, other-worldly vocals, and the rhythm section of Danny Thompson and Terry Cox is as subtle as ever. Although not widely praised in its day--critics seemed to resist the possibility that a reformed Pentangle could live up to its earlier incarnation--the album has aged well and sits respectably among the band's more acclaimed earlier work.

Pentangle: Jacqui McShee (vocals); Mike Piggott, Bert Jansch (acoustic guitar); Danny Thompson (double bass); Terry Cox (drums).

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Like a fine aged wine...
Maybe 1982 was not a good year for mature and refined adult music at its best but I'll bet this album will only gain stature with age. For those who complain that Pentangle wasn't imitating their old sound on this album give it a try and actually listen to it. The sound may be smoother but the spirit is the same. This is not background music. Sit down with it like a fine aged wine.

Chills Kaleidoscope World CD  (1986) (Import) Import; Australia

Open The Door album
CD $23.75
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12" KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD, The Chills' 18-track compilation culled from The Chills early and mid-'80s EPs and singles, is highlighted by the song "Pink Frost." The Chills' Martin Phillipps mixes up melodic pop with elements of garage rock and punk, creating songs with a sweet melancholy all their own. Phillipps has always been the focus of the Chills, writing and singing the band's songs. His group has also rivaled Menudo in its sheer number of personnel changes. In a just world, the Chills would have sold just ...

Killing Floor CD  (1995) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak

Open The Door music CDs
CD $16.65
The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues canon with different words. The lone "cover" in the set was written by Willie Dixon titled "Woman You Need Love," the tune Zep ripped for "Whole Lotta Love." Despite the fact that this set was issued before by Repertoire, the Akarma version is definitive in that it features the original cover artwork in a heavy cardboard gatefold sleeve, and killer sound. This is a raw, immediate, overdriven, psychedelic blues record that offers an interesting ...
Second Chapter

Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD  (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak

Open The Door songs
CD $19.79  5 stars Top 500
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with on The White Album's "Rocky Raccoon." What Second Chapter immediately sets forth is the importance of Kirwan as a pop artist, and how, despite Fleetwood Mac's success after he left, his sounds could still have been beneficial to that supergroup. "Hot Summers Day" is a fine example of that, a beautiful song ...
Legend
Also Bought
Legend CD  (2007) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak

Open The Door album
CD $16.59
In some circles, Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit, best heard on the songs "Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up in One of Those," both covered by Nick Lowe. Basher's endorsement is a clear indication that Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come as a great surprise that his first band, Legend, was proto-pub, an unabashed celebration of old-time rock & roll, filled with three-chord Chuck Berry rockers and doo wop backing vocals. Nevertheless, listening to their 1970 LP is a bit of a shock, as it's completely disassociated with anything that was happening in 1970, even with Tony Visconti enlisted as their producer. Legend's sensibility is ahead of its time in its retro thinking, pointing the way to the rock & roll revival of the late '70s and not even that similar to the country-rock of Eggs Over Easy or Bees Make Honey, as this has little of the rustic feel of the Band: it's just straight-up oldies rock, a trait emphasized by those incessant doo wop harmonies that are on almost every ...

Open The Door CD music
CD $10.65
!Alias the @ikt Government Name: Michael Luis LebronHometown: Merritt Island, FL - B/W/O Los Angeles, CAAge: 23!Alias is the new breed of emcee. Simply put. He represents musical progression, while still remaining loyal to hip-hops roots. In an era where rappers are images, and albums are marketing tools, !Alias the @ikt (pronounced addict) remains un-phased by the standards of the day. Even when growing up, there was always the need to be original, innovative, influential, and above all, true to who he was. Never content to blend in. Even with this strong emphasis on individuality, he still managed to effortlessly fit in wherever he went. This could very well be the quality that makes him a superstar. Raised in a working class Puerto Rican household, Alias grew up with strong values and an equally strong love for music. With the sounds of salsa and merengue playing constantly, Alias got his start on hip-hop when he was only 6. Noting Run DMC as his first influence, and watching movies like 'Breakin'' and 'Krush Groove', he grew a strong love for the culture, which would translate into a strong love and passion for writing. !Alias believes he is the future of hip-hop, or at least what a progressive future ...
