| | Anthony Rankin Distance CD Anthony Rankin Discography of CDs
With age comes growth (most of the time), and Anthony Rankin's third official release is a clear demonstration of this adage. 2007's 'The Distance' finds him unlocking the artistic voice he set out to uncover four years prior, on debut 'Every Part of Me.' A quick sample of any earlier material will easily identify the cornerstones upon which Rankin's music is built: hook-filled arrangements, towering musicianship, and an honest and pliable voice wrapped around broad-but-passionate lyrics. These characteristics are refined, amplified and epitomized throughout 'The Distance.'The range of the album is also quite significant; there are, of course, the anthemic pop rock gems that have helped define Rankin's early sound, but there are unexpected pieces as well, that explore the worlds of soul, Americana, and even employ elements of electronica. While that sounds like a sonic mind job, Anthony somehow manages to blend all of these ingredients into a seamless experience.Of his early work, 'The Distance' is certainly Rankin's best; a vastly alluring listen for music fans of all persuasions.Key tracks: Under the Radar, Losing the Battle, Left to Say Anthony Rankin Distance Songs | 1. | Under The Radar |

The latest album from Swedish doom rockers Katatonia, their first studio effort since 2006, is as moody and beautiful as their other latter-day work. The group's career can be marked in two stages based on the condition of singer Jonas Renske's vocal cords -- basically, after the band's first two albums, he developed health problems that prevented him from performing harsh death growls, and ever since the band has moved in an increasingly melodic direction, even covering songs by Will ...

| | Matt Roberts Ruby Record CD (2006) (Import)
Distance album
$11.15
'Can the word "Melbourne" be an adjective? A wander among the treasures that comprise The Ruby Record, the debut studio album from Melbourne singer-songwriter Matt Roberts leaves little doubt in the affirmative. Whilst ranging from weightless, poetic guitar pop to knockout piano soul and flaunting influences that span several generations (The White Album, Joni Mitchell, early Billy Joel, later Neil Finn, Tim Rogers), the common thread that pulls these 12 red gems together is, well, their Melbourne-ness. Recorded with up-and-coming label Sound Vault Records in the former industrial heart of West Melbourne, this is stripped-back acoustic bliss so real and immediate that you can almost hear the V-line locomotives thundering past in the adjacent railyards. Roberts' guitar work (and I mean work!) is certainly evocative of several tons of diesel engine - powerful, raw, yet internally intricate - was this really recorded using the pickup alone? Long-time co-conspirator David Kipp adds fuel to the fire with searing backing vocals and basslines so smooth, steely and reliable you could run express trains along them. The album opens with booming bass drum under the right foot of Kipp's Bathysphere bandmate, Matt Mulcahy, guiding us with the precision of a signalman and the bounding passion of a trainspotter through 45 minutes of clattering rhythms that describe daily beauty, ritual joys. And the centrepiece of this rail analogy? The passengers, the freight, the reason for all the noise? The lyrics of Matt Roberts, for this is where this ruby really shines. Roberts stands and delivers (in a voice recalling Bowie, Finn, Freedman) line after line of accessible, unpretentious suburban storytelling. By the third listening we really wanted to meet Charlie, the ageing remorseful patriarch of the opening track (Hey Betty), and May, the blacksmith's sister (Me and May As Well) who lives above the fire station as she finds the sirens a turn-on. Then there's that postgirl who appears in the sensual painting on the back cover (and the sherbet fountain that is Madame Ruby and the Postgirl)- what did she ever see in the garbageman? Hilton Street had us reaching for the Melways, such is Roberts' description of idyllic urban-village living, whilst the final track, Tullamarine, with its lustrous tenor saxophone and winter-dusk piano made you want to jump on the desk, thump your chest and shout "I'm from there! I know this place!!"Right now, Matt Roberts is a bloke in a beanie on the Broadie line, another face in the rush-hour crowd you never make eye contact with. Like all city-dwellers, ...
