Purchase Super Hits CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Trans-Siberian Orchestra Night Castle CDs (2009)
Super Hits album
 $11.35   
NIGHT CASTLE appears just in time for the big 2009 holiday season but don't be fooled: this isn't a Christmas album, even if it's sonically indistinguishable from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other seasonal releases, and the fact that it's been dubbed "Capra-esque" certainly brings it within the realm of the season. NIGHT CASTLE brims with all the drama, pomp, and circumstance of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other records but channeling these traits through a newly created narrative does have the effect of hearing it in a somewhat new light, shifting the focus entirely to the band's attack, not melody. Still, there's not that much new here -- and the coda of seasonal covers, including the first sober version of "Nutrocker" ever cut, doesn't do much to break that spell. But for those already enchanted by the Orchestra, this will continue to enthrall.

| | Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)
Super Hits CD music
$12.85 
After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque cover to its joyous backing vocals. Apart from the breakneck "Must Be Santa," which barrelhouses like a barroom, Dylan doesn't really reinterpret these songs as much as simply ...

| | Pink Martini Splendor In The Grass CD (2009) Digipak
Super Hits CD music
$13.39
Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward lounge-pop of their debut, SYMPATHIQUE, and the mellowness of '60s and '70s pop. SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS' first half is especially smooth, opening with the beautifully soft Neapolitan ballad "Ninna Nanna" and the title track, on which Forbes sings "I think we should take it slow" over swooping strings, brass, and piano that resurrect the glory days of AM pop; that feeling is echoed by the cover of Joe Raposo's "Sing," the Sesame Street song that gained popularity when the Carpenters performed it (Emilio Delgado, aka Sesame Street's Luis, duets with Forbes here in Spanish and English). The ...

| | Alireza Mashayekhi Persian Electronic Music: Yesterday & Today 1966-2006 CDs (2007) (Import)
Super Hits CD music
$16.95
Sub Rosa has done it again. This handsomely designed, authoritative, and beautiful-sounding double-CD package focuses on the electronic music of composers Alireza Mashayekhi and Ata "Sote" Ebtekar. Both men have been working in the electronic and vanguard classical fields for years -- in the case of the former, born in 1940, it's been over 40, and the latter, born in 1972, since 1994. They both employ ancestral structures as a way of creating something radically new and different. In the case of Mashayekhi, his works have been performed extensively at home and abroad. The original folk and sacred music forms in his works (all of them appear on disc one) are immediately detectable. He uses these melodies; covers them over; stretches them; washes them in warm baths of sound, space, and texture; and allows them space to breathe through time. He actually stretches the notion of time; what the listener hears is instantly recognizable as something old, but presented in a wildly different context without sacrificing its character or even content. By contrast, Ebtekar, who has been schooled and raised in a world that initially embraced the West only to reject it, has been on both sides of the post-structuralist divide; his notion of deconstruction, which happened literally in Iran, is experientially cultural rather than theoretically academic. Therefore, his questions about sound and the ancestral music of his culture have to be looked at through that split prism. Being a recording engineer as well as a composer and sound artist, his source materials were the old Persian scales themselves. He actually goes to town altering their modal framework and time signatures, compressing and stretching them, and in some cases turning them inside out. What remains however, is the actual "Persian-ness" of it all. It is unmistakably Middle Eastern, no matter how much he shifts modalities or even alters melodic constructs between or through scales or manipulates sound and dynamic tensions. It sounds like history and feels like history, but is so unmistakably "new" that it makes history, and it is strange and beguiling enough to make you completely question ...
