| | Natalie Imbruglia Left Of The Middle CD - Import Natalie Imbruglia Discography of CDs
Natalie Imbruglia was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. "Torn" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
One thing is for certain, Natalie Imbruglia has her late-'90s Pop Chick thing down. The slightly off-kilter melodies, the artfully sampled rhythms, the Fionaesque cover photo, the romantic sturm und drang lyrics, the tasteful synth and electric piano, the in-your face vocals, it's all here. Anyone enamored of Alanis, Meredith Brooks, the aforementioned Apple or their artier godmother Tori should find plenty of reason to rejoice on LEFT OF THE MIDDLE. It's a seamless pop artifact, with nary a leak anywhere in the ship, from production to songwriting to performance, and it's easy to see why this album placed newcomer Natalie on the top of the charts.
Natalie Imbruglia stormed across the globe late in the 1990s with her amazing pop single 'Torn'. And then came the album! Left of the Middle was not only hugely popular (and still is!) but was greeted with critical acclaim, too. Not bad for a lass from New South Wales' Central Coast ..... and talk about shedding that soap-star image?! Slick production and a gritty edge help this album stand out from the usual pop pack. Unavailable in the US. BMG.
Personnel includes: Natalie Imbruglia.
Producers: Paul Thornalley, Mark Goldenberg, Andy Wright, Matt Bronleewee.
Q (4/00, p.111) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...a good, ahem, left-of-the-middle pop album in 1997 and it still sounds good. The soaring slide guitar and imploring vocals of 'Torn' still make an eager, instant impression....Not bad at all."
Melody Maker (11/29/97, p.45) - "...waivers from infectious jangley to scary trip-hop." Left Of The Middle Review

| | Michael O'Neill Never Too Late CD (2000)
Left Of The Middle music CDs
$13.15
Like most guys who make a great living jamming behind bigger stars, guitarist Michael O'Neill -- whose resume boasts a few years in the '80s with Stevie Wonder and a nearly nonstop two decades with George Benson -- took years to find the time amidst the world tours to compose and produce an entire album's worth of material. It's easy to identify each these influences on a track-by-track basis on Never Too Late. The title track, co-written with Gregg Karukas, finds O'Neill approximating the crisp electric "breezin'" of Benson, darting high-fluttering tones off the main melody as wah-wah click textures call out in the background. Ditto on the mid-tempo retro-soul ballad "Winds of Summer," which opens with a brisk hook that features a higher tone than the verse sections, very much like "Breezin'." Pianist Dave Witham (another vet from the Benson crew) chimes in at one point with a quick but playful solo before O'Neill digs into a deeper tone on a solo that runs like trickling water. O'Neill pays homage to Stevie Wonder, too, opting to play things fairly close to the vest on a thoughtful cover of Stevie Wonder's "Visions," with vocals by Carl Anderson. "I Ain't Lyin'" dips into that Crusaders vibe O'Neill mentions, opening with a dense high-hat percussion swirl by Land Richards and Dio Saucedo's tambourine and easing into a rocking electric guitar melody over the bluesy organ harmony of Chris Ho with plenty of Wayne Henderson-like horn splashes by Walt Fowler. Just as the Crusaders at times crossed from R&B to jazz, O'Neill breaks at one point for heated guitar and piano improvisations. Mid-tempo meditations like "Sidewalk Strut" and the Brazilian-flavored acoustic piece, "Cruisin' on Down" (featuring O'Neill's lively scatting), offer more evidence of the guitarist's ability to both people please and stretch stylistic boundaries ever so slightly. ~ Jonathan Widran
This CD is a culmination of 25 years of experience that Los Angeles based guitarist,Michael O'Neill has lived in the music industry.Starting in 1979 touring with the Crusaders on their "Street Life" tour to a 2 decades relationship working with guitar great, George Benson in his band (still currently with Benson)O'Neill serves up 12 tunes which cover a wide range of styles that reflect the versatility he has acquired backing up some of the greats in the industry.Along the way Michael has supported such greats as Stevie Wonder,Rickie Lee Jones,Natalie Cole,Joe Sample,Ronnie Laws,Hubert Laws,Gato Barbieri,Sadao Watanabe,Boney James,Rick Braun,Peter White,Freddie Ravel,Gregg Karukas,Carl Anderson,Sheila E.,Gerald Albright,Kirk Whalum,Eric Marienthal among others.Choosing ...
| | Association Renaissance CD (1967)
Left Of The Middle songs
$11.59
Renaissance was a difficult album for the Association to record. Coming in the wake of a serious hit album (And Then...Along Comes the Association) and two huge hit singles ("Along Comes Mary," "Cherish") and at a time when the group was experiencing more bookings than its members had ever dreamed possible, Renaissance was rushed out under pressure from the band's label. Alas, Renaissance bore little resemblance to its predecessor. For starters, the Association had lost the services of producer Curt Boettcher, who was the architect of the earlier album's extraordinary sound. Additionally, Renaissance was comprised entirely of original material, much ...
