| | Alex Romero Melodrama CD Alex Romero Discography of CDs
Never have a hip-hop drum beat, a cello, circuit-bent instruments and a soulful voice been so artfully combined than in the music of innovative electronica musician, Alex Romero. Born in Miami to immigrant Cuban parents, Romero grew up in poverty with little opportunity to pursue his dream of becoming a performer. As a result, he largely ignored what his public school music teachers dubbed a “natural talent for singing and songwriting” and focused on academic studies, which he felt were more likely to lead him to a better life.It wasn’t until he enrolled at Yale University that he began to develop his unique experimental music, tinkering with unlikely sources of sound such as prepared guitars, circuit-bent electronic instruments and mashed samples. Romero performed in New Haven coffee shops and at various collegiate “art nights,” in front of receptive audiences of friends, dorm mates and professors.After graduating with a BA in Evolutionary Biology, Romero moved to New York City to record his ambitious debut album "Melodrama," a quirky and catchy compilation which is currently taking the underground music scene by storm.

Melodrama

The Residents have been on quite a creative streak in the first decade of the new millennium, with a bunch of new albums, a pretty extensive reissue campaign, and retrospectives like the Kettles of Fish compilation. And judging from the "futurist compilation" Ten Little Piggies, they aren't slowing down at all. The "Ten Little Piggies" referred to are actually ten different projects that may or may not be completed and/or released (actually, as of the release date in late 2009, a couple of the projects have been released as downloads only and The Ughs! received a physical release as well). It's quite a mix. Several of these projects ...

Melodrama
$6.09
Following in the footsteps of the previous collection, A Windham Hill Christmas, Vol. 2 gathers more relaxing, sophisticated holiday music as performed by Windham Hill's roster of artists. The collection finds the right balance between traditional and contemporary, both in terms of its sound and its choice of songs. Will Ackerman and David Cullen's "I Wonder as I Wander" sounds gently modern, while Paul McCandless' "In Dulci Jubilo" has a slightly more traditional bent. Tracy Silverman and Thea Suits' strings and flute interpretation of "Away in a Manger" mixes both approaches and is breathtaking in its lovely simplicity. Most of the performances here, including Barbara Higbie's "Patapan," suggest pristine snowscapes or, in the case of Jim Brickman's "The First Noel," the warmth of a hearth, but Steve Erquiaga's "Joy to the ...
| | Lise Lacroix & Friends CD (2005)
Melodrama
$14.79
Pointe Claire resident Lise Lacroix has more on her mind these days than her job at Air Canada. The West Island chanteuse has just released her first CD, Lise Lacroix and Friends, a collection of standards with a soft jazzy feel that she says is easy listening and warm. To mark the occasion, she had a launch party Sept. 28 at Bourbon Street West in Pointe Claire. "It was a great night," she said. "There were lots of people, lots of friends, the media, it turned out very well." Lacroix began singing with the Becket Players in 1985, enjoyed herself, but knew she had an ambition to sing the songs she truly enjoyed. So after 10 years, she went solo. "When you use the word jazz, you risk turning people off. I've done songs like Fly Me to the Moon, My Funny Valentine and I do what I think is a very unique version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow." While Lacroix has fashioned a Christmas CD already, that one was mostly for herself. This one, she beamed, is the first one for public consumption. "Officially, we did make that Christmas one, but I've been waiting for the day when I could create my own CD for a long time. Finally, the baby is born. I'm very happy with it." Aside from a personal nature, there is a commercial angle to producing and selling a CD. Lacroix obviously hopes to make a buck ...

Melodrama
$17.69
"In making Publix I was inspired by 3 decades of electronic music from Schulze and early Tangerine Dream, later Kraftwerk, Namlook and Biosphere, to recently Pub, Waki and Vir Unis ... mixing all these styles and influences together with my own creativity is the ultimate spielerei."Dennis KnopperThere are times when just by listening to the first few notes you instantly know that you are in for a treat. I do not know how is does, but it works for me every time. I hope this is also true for you as the opening track entitled Tradition is a magnificent slice of electronic music. Surely there is no way that this standard can be maintained. The following track features gentle ambiences and moody bass notes that are carefully assembled into a haunting main ...
