| | Alex Gold Back From A Break Vinyl LP Record - Import Alex Gold Discography of CDs
The title of Alex Gold's artistic debut is rife with double entendres. Most obviously, it refers to breakbeat (or "breaks"), his preferred mode of rhythmic discourse. But more subtly, it also refers to the fact that his successful career as a DJ and producer was interrupted by a hair-raising paragliding accident that left him with a shattered spine and required 18 months of hospitalization and physical therapy. While the accident temporarily took him off the DJ circuit, it also gave him time to write his own material -- hence this album, which comes after more than ten years of involvement in the international dance music scene. Released on Gold's own Xtravaganza label, it finds him working in an eclectic assortment of sounds and styles, from the breaks-based pop songs "Foreign Shore" and "Flying" to the more house-oriented "Stranded in Paradise" and "LA Today" (the latter featuring former Human League frontman Phil Oakey). The album's highlight track is the second one, a surprisingly complex soundscape titled "String Theory," on which dreamy female vocals float high above densely arranged and robustly funky interlocking rhythm tracks. On one or two of these songs (notably "Flying"), the concept seems to run away with the content just a bit, but overall this is an exceptionally fine debut album. Bring on the remixes! ~ Rick Anderson
Literally. After a paragliding accident which broke his back and required 18 months of recuperation, Alex is back with a new single off the same-titled CD. He's been an influential member of dance music for years and one of its pioneers and the hard hitting breaks with guitar licks, MC samples, spin backs and a whole host of other FX on this single shows he still means business. Backed with 'Better Days' (Saturday Night Special Mix). Xtravaganza. 2005. Alex Gold Back From A Break Songs | 1. | Back From A Break |

Back From A Break album
$7.96 Within a couple years, Canadian teenager Justin Bieber went from covering Usher on YouTube to working with Usher. An internet sensation from his renditions of several pop and pop-oriented R&B hits, he was still only 15 years old when he released this, his first album -- though it's more like an EP since it is contains only seven songs that are 25 minutes in duration. Given the comfort level he showed in the material he covered, My World plays it straight, based on the kind of age-appropriate content that would fill out a release from a younger Chris Brown or a junior version of ...
| | Jay-Z The Blueprint 3 CD (2009)
Back From A Break CD music
$15.65 On THE BLUEPRINT 3, still unretired Jay-Z announces "the only rapper to rewrite history without a pen." It's a standard Jigga boast, but the Brooklyn icon has earned the bragging by backing it up, particularly on his gold-label, top-shelf BLUEPRINT series. Ever-ready for battle, Jay-Z takes on autotune, crossover radio, and many other hip-hop concerns with the gloriously jagged rap elan for which he's become known.
When Jay-Z first made a series out of his best album, 2001's The Blueprint, it became a game of high expectations. The first volume saw Jay-Z as vital as he'd ever been, storming back to the hardcore after a few years of commercial success. THE BLUEPRINT 2 took a different tack, with guest shots to compliment his sinuous flows. BLUEPRINT 3 is somewhere between the two, closer to the vitality and energy of the original but not without the crossover bids and guest features of the latter. Kanye West is in the producer's chair for seven tracks, and it's clear he was reaching for the same energy level as the original. "What We Talkin' About" begins ...

Back From A Break songs
$10.49 "Guilty Conscience" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By Duo Or Group.
"Forgot About Dre" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group. DR. DRE 2001 was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. "The Next Episode" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.
"Still D.R.E." was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group.
With 2001, Dr. Dre has managed to do the seemingly impossible: resurface yet again after a five-year disappearance from the rap game, and shatter all expectations. The first two tracks lull the listener into thinking this is going to be a mellow, G-funk outing, but when the piano loop and beat commence in "Still D.R.E.," it's obvious Dre is still light years ahead of the rest. The seemingly disparate styles of guest artists MC Ren, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem are all unified by Dre's singular musical vision.
What makes this record stand out from any other gangsta rap recording before it, however, are the flashes of brutal honesty that pepper the lyrics ("What's the Difference"). Something about Dre's persona and delivery softens his often misogynistic, violent lyrical content. It's as if the audience understands he's only posturing and knows that, deep down, he is a dedicated family man ...
| | Isley Brothers Love Songs CD (2001)
Back From A Break album
$6.25 Originally released on T-Neck Records. Includes liner notes by Virginia Prescott.
Along the way to being a bridge throughout the history of R&B throughout the latter half of the 20th century, the Isley Brothers also directly helped shape facets of the genre along the way. Starting in the '70s, eldest Isley siblings Ronald, Rudolph, and the late O'Kelly carved out a soundtrack for silk-sheet relations along with fellow love lords Barry White and Marvin Gaye.
This collection hinges on Ronald Isley's creamy falsetto; it's easy to mistake him for Al Green, particularly against a background of swirling keyboards on "For the Love of You (Parts 1 & 2)" and the crying guitar of "Voyage to Atlantis." As usual, the Isleys include unlikely artistic interpretations (Todd Rundgren's "Hello It's Me," and Seals & Crofts' "Summer Breeze") that work superbly. The most memorable bedside listening comes from the thick-as-molasses beat, crooning vocals, and background grunting of "Between the Sheets," the quintessential jam that's ...
