| | Lupe Fiasco Cool CD Lupe Fiasco Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Building on the success of his acclaimed debut, FOOD & LIQUOR, Chi-town representative Lupe Fiasco returns with a concept-themed record, THE COOL. Evenly balancing intelligent lyricism, poetic symbolism, and catchy pop-themed production, Lupe's sophomore effort partially follows the story of the ghetto Everyman, the Cool, in his ever-changing relationship with the Streets and the Game. Still, it's not all high-concept here. Lupe also celebrates the spoils of superstar glamour on the catchy single, "Superstar," and the travel-fantasy track, "Paris, Tokyo," and enters more experimental territory with the help of British trip-hop act, U.N.K.L.E. on "Hello/Goodbye (Uncool)." THE COOL features production work from Soundtrakk, Chris & Drop, Patrick Stump, and Chris Goss, among others, as well as guest appearances by Sarah Green, GemStones, Pooh Bear, Nikki Jean, Bishop G, Graham Burris, Unkle, Matthew Santos, and Snoop Dogg.

Rolling Stone (p.62) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "THE COOL goes for softer, jazzier R&B hooks, yet the lyrics are even tougher in their street-level attack on hip-hop materialism."
Spin (p.105) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The beats pulsate rather than bang, Lupe's voice dances in and out of shadows..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.75) - "Fiasco's wide-ranging pop instincts rarely fail him....It turns out randomness makes for a surprisingly unifying concept." -- Grade: A-
Q (Magazine) (p.103) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his doesn't disappoint, adding emotional depth to his complex rhyming and heft to the productions..."

Cool CD music
$42.59  
GENESIS ARCHIVE #2 contains both studio and live tracks recorded between 1976 and 1992.
Volume One collected work from Genesis' eight-year period with Peter Gabriel. This three CD follow-up collects rarities--studio outtakes, B-sides, remixes, and previously unreleased live tracks--from what the band refers to in the liner notes as their "20 year experiment" with Phil Collins as lead singer (1975-95).
Most of the songs lean toward the band's pop-soul side, although there's a work-in-progress version of "Mama" that (due to its obviously unfinished quality) hints at their earlier, more abstract style. Other highlights include the amusingly titled "Do the Neurotic," which ...

$43.09
Throughout its entire career, Jazzanova has been largely renowned predominately for its high-quality remixes for various artists. Whenever a Jazzanova remix was presented, it was more often than not an event for downtempo fanatics rather than whoever was on the A-side. This time around, though, the tables have been turned and other artists take a stab at interpretations of songs from Jazzanova's 2002 full-length debut. Labelmates from the Compost community ...
| | Radiohead Com Lag (2plus2isfive) CD (2004) Digipak; Extended Play
Cool album
$11.35 
Useful only to the most devoted Radiohead followers (who will probably have most of the contents to begin with), Com Lag is a patchwork of live material, remixes, B-sides, and other assorted scraps. Naturally, the release isn't nearly as cohesive as Hail to the Thief; its apparent intent is to supply the fans with another stream of the band's recordings, regardless of both how they fit together and how mixed the tracks are to begin with. The B-sides aren't nearly as solid as the ones collected on the Airbag/How Am I Driving EP, not to mention most of the intervening extras that trickled out between that release and this one -- though the ...

Dirty South pioneer E.S.G. trailblazed through the late-'90s movement and helped popularize the "chopped and screwed" style associated with his onetime home, Wreckshop Records.

BIO:In an old Washington, DC dive bar sits a beat-up upright piano on a small little stage. The room is filled with cigarette smoke and the light is dim. The sound of chattering fills the room as people relax with friends. The first note hits on the keys and everyone looks to the stage as the music begins. It isn't a sound you would expect to come from someone like him. A grown man who just walked in to hear the music is brought to tears by his song. The young talent rises up from the piano after the final note. With every performance on every stage, Minh impresses new listeners with a soulful and unique sound. (For updated info on Minh, please visit the official site at www.minhlovesounds.com.)WHAT LISTENERS ARE SAYING:“hey im loving the whole album ill be going to buy it. keep them coming they really hit my heart .you read my heart and you knew what i waz feeling. thats way too cool.” ~ VERONICA – Wichita, Kansas.“I luv it! it sounds a little like somethin john legend would put out and im really into his sounds...its soothing...keep up the good work!” ~ SARIKA – Washington, DC.“i like your sound...it's kinda like, the orgasm that would take place if soul and r&b had sex...too vivid? well, "how's i like your style" work?

Maybe there was something in the water flowing in the Erie Canal along the banks of Lockport, NY - a tiny town just north of Buffalo and Niagara Falls - that made Johnny Nobody happen. It could have been a mix of small town boredom, restless youth and the clear Canadian radio waves coming across Lack Ontario, bringing the sounds of bands like Sloan, The Tragically Hip and By Divine Right.Whatever it was exactly, it certainly resulted in something special when Colin Roberts, Jay White and Andrew Vaeth started playing together. While still teenagers, Johnny Nobody began playing covers and writing their own songs, rocking every all ages show and high school beer blast that they could set their amps and drums up at. Almost ten years on the same three boys are now men. While they have become the kind of telepathic - tight, white hot combo that ...
