| | Orlando Julius Super Afro Soul CD - Import Orlando Julius Discography of CDs
This Vampi Soul package contains the original Strut reissue of Orlando Julius & His Modern Aces 1966 debut album Super Afro Soul, plus four bonus cuts, which were all singles that preceded its release -- indeed, demanded its release, as the people of Nigeria went wild for this blend of the highlife sound with soul. The first four singles, "Jagua Nana," "Topless," "Olufe," and "E Se Re Re," are all sounds that point the way to the album. The first has a much more juju-meets-jazz feel (and indeed it is the reason the track was included on the album as its final track). Its B-side, "Ijo Soul," touches on calypso and early James Brown-styled funk along with Stax-brewed dance-soul. The other three cuts move toward the interconnected rhythms and dance music feel of '60s Northern soul. Indeed, this magical brew with upstepping rhythms, tight, funky changes, and repetitive grooves with American soul and rhythm and blues melody and horn lines is no less than infectious today -- just ask any of the DJs in the U.K. who began playing this stuff in the '90s. ~ Thom JurekSpin (p.117) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "A hot set of '60s and '70s sessions....[With a] sublime cover of 'My Girl' and the James Brown-biting 'Ijo Soul.'"
Uncut (p.91) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[With] thundering bongos and congas, all accompanied by Stax-style rhythm parts, and JB's horn lines..."
The Wire (p.54) - "[The songs are] punchy and richly textured..."
Global Rhythm (Publication) (p.43) - "[I]t's raucous fun, with plenty of honking sax and churning rhythm." Orlando Julius Super Afro Soul Songs Super Afro Soul Review

As a survey of the first quarter century or so of Clannad's recording career, this double-CD compilation is intelligently selected and annotated. It draws pretty evenly from the various phases of the group's lifespan, from their most traditional folk-based albums in 1973 and 1974 to the slicker rock, pop, and new age-influenced sounds that gave them some crossover pop success in Europe and America in the 1980s and 1990s. Their most well-known tracks, and cuts with celebrity cameos, are here: the big early-'80s British hit "Harry's Game," "In a Lifetime" ...

UP THE ROAD A semi-acoustic soundscape, exquisite harmony vocals, sparse and timeless arrangements, and thoughtful, grown-up lyrics. An American west-coast tradition combined with a Nordic feel. All of the above can be expected from Up The Road, a Swedish duo consisting of two renowned Swedish musicians, Roger Rönning and Ted SteerlingBoth Roger and Ted first made music together as key members of Flex, an early 70’s band whose music marked their first venture into singer-songwriter/west coast territory. – Our influences were bands like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and The Mamas & The Papas, Roger recalls. After Flex had split up, the pair continued making music, both separately and together. In 1994, they decided to record some of the material they had co-written over the years. Forming the band Broken Arrow together with Mats Randér, they soon landed an album deal with Alpha Records. However, the company ceased to exist soon after that, and the project ground to a halt. Roger went back to making solo albums, but couldn’t get rid of the recussing feeling that the Broken Arrow material was too strong to remain unreleased.  I don’t want to look back and regret the things I DIDN’T do, Roger says. I was quite certain that we had accumulated some strong songs. I also felt that Ted was a major talent, in possession of a unique voice, and that it would be a waste not to use it. Both members have strong musical personalities that complement each other. If both ...
