Avant folk violinist and Thurston Moore collaborator Samara Lubelski released PARALLEL SUNS on the Social Registry label in 2007. The album finds Lubelski indulging in a fluttering, wistful, and occasionally dreamy form of indie folk-pop. Lubelski collaborates with a host of underground artists and tackles both guitar and violin here, but it's her hushed yet resonant vocals that mark every track. PARALLEL SUNS is equally enchanting and grounded--remote, yet warm and inviting.Uncut (p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Lubelski's gently psychedelic arrangements underline some unashamedly lovely melodies and sang-froid vocals a la Nico."
The Wire (p.62) - "PARALLEL SUNS slips down easily....That it does so is testament in large part to Lubelski's remarkable voice, and intimate, breathy whisper..." Samara Lubelski Parallel Suns Songs | 1. | Have You Seen the Colors | $0.99 | |

Purchase Parallel Suns CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Trans-Siberian Orchestra Night Castle CDs (2009)
Parallel Suns 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)
Parallel Suns 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 play them with his crackerjack road band, dropping in a little flair -- restoring "we'll have to muddle through somehow" to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," singing the opening of "O Come All Ye Faithful" in its original Latin -- but never pushing tunes in ...

| | Pink Martini Splendor In The Grass CD (2009) Digipak
Parallel Suns 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 album's first few tracks are among its most playful, including the slinky yet winking "Ohayoo Ohio" and the French confection "Ou Est Ma Tete?" While Pink Martini gets almost too cute for their own good with "And Then You're Gone" and "But Now I'm Back," a pair of songs about a quarreling couple inspired by Franz Schubert's "Fantasy Piano for Four Hands" and featuring NPR justice correspondent Ari Shapiro on the latter's vocals, SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS' ...

$7.15 | | KRS-One Keep Right Vinyl LP (2004)
Parallel Suns music CDs
$13.59
For some people, the number 13 might be unlucky. But not in this situation, as Keep Right is easily one of KRS-One's strongest efforts in recent years. Returning to the production values and lyrical philosophies that put him in the forefront of hip-hop, Keep Right far and away surpasses his recent solo endeavors and shows him in top fighting form, which is no faint praise considering the company he's had to keep for the past decade. However, as the record progresses, the preaching grows ...

In the early days of his career, after every relatively mainstream major-label album (MELLOW GOLD, ODELAY), Beck would then release a more experimental indie disc such as the lo-fi ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE or the knotty STEREOPATHETIC SOULMANURE. Similarly, Beck has been fond of stylistic experiments such as the Brazilian-influenced MUTATIONS and the warped R&B of MIDNITE VULTURES. As he's matured as an artist, these smaller-scale releases and genre exercises have fallen somewhat off the radar, but the quickly recorded and loose-limbed MODERN GUILT recalls ...
