VDGG's second step on the mid-'70s comeback trail saw Peter Hammill attempting to meld the introspective and the cosmic throughout, though this did not stop him from taking a dead run at a grandiose concept or two -- the consequences of immortality on the title track, and the grand fate of humanity on the epic "Childlike Faith in Childhood's End." The theme of humane cooperation informs the opening "Pilgrims," while "La Rossa" is an epic tale of desire fulfilled (a story that would be concluded on Hammill's solo album, Over). The true highlight, however, is the beautiful, pensive "My Room (Waiting for Wonderland)," with its echoes of imagination and loss. Hammill did not achieve such a level of painful beauty again until "This Side of the Looking Glass" on Over. ~ Steven McDonald
Van der Graaf Generator: Peter Hammill (vocals, guitar); David Jackson (saxophone); Hugh Banton (keyboards); Guy Evans (drums).

Still Life music CDs
$9.69
Van Der Graaf Generator's third album, Pawn Hearts was also its second most popular; at one time this record was a major King Crimson cult item due to the presence of Robert Fripp on guitar, but Pawn Hearts has more to offer than that. The opening track, "Lemmings," calls to mind early Gentle Giant, with its eerie vocal passages (including harmonies) set up against extended sax, keyboard, and guitar-driven instrumental passages, and also with its weird keyboard and percussion interlude, though this band is also much more contemporary in its focus than Gentle Giant. Peter Hammill vocalizes in a more traditional way on "Man-Erg," against shimmering organ swells and Guy Evans' very expressive drumming, before the song goes off on a tangent by way of David Jackson's saxes and some really weird time signatures -- plus some very pretty ...

| | Charlie Schmidt Xanthe Terra CD (2005)
Still Life songs
$11.19
Given how many recent musicians follow in the vein of acoustic guitar legend John Fahey, it's enjoyable to read Charlie Schmidt's liner notes for his debut collection, where he not only makes the debt explicit but discusses his friendship and collaboration with Fahey as it took place over many years. Like other recent releases on Strange Attractors by Harris Newman and Glenn Jones, Schmidt's work takes Fahey's as the touchstone to find his own chosen path, and Xanthe Terra -- dedicated to both Fahey and the astronomers and scientists working on the Spirit and Endeavour missions to Mars, where a geographical region provided the album's name -- is a deeply moving, entrancing series of solo compositions. Schmidt's own descriptions for his songs serve as the best written introductions in ways -- they cover everything from his work with Fahey to scientific meditations ...
| | Golden Section By Michelle Mays CD (2003)
Still Life album
$22.79
The Songs of Singer/Songwriter, Michelle Mays, weave a beautiful mystical spell around your heart and spirit. Her sultry voice, insightful lyrics and dynamic music enchants and encourages the listener with comfort, reassurance, joy and love. The Golden Section Cd is a collection of her most requested songs when she performs live. The songs are a celebration of life, and inspire the spirit.Within each song are layers of meanings. This can be clearly heard, seen and felt in the song, "The Song of the Spirit". Written with the Golden Section/Golden Mean in mind, with Plato's Music of the Spheres within the chord structure (the actual chord notes) and melody, the philosophy and wisdom of the wise ones and great teachers past, are interwoven into the music of the song. This is indeed a very magical song. Gently Johnny, is another favorite of Michelle's Fans.. this song was written in the 12th century, it's 800 years old and still going strong. Although, the way Michelle performs Gently Johnny, with a Smokey blues style, it seems like a brand new song. Gently Johnny was awarded 'Track of the Day' on December 23, 2003 by www.garageband.com Selu, is a story song about the Cherokee Earth/Corn Goddess, it is included on this CD, but is also sold as a single. (The Single comes with the abbreviated story of Selu, as told to Michelle by her Great Aunt, and it comes with commentary by Michelle.) The song is sung in Cherokee and in English. Also, Tommy Wildcat accompanies the song with his Native American Flute. Tommy is full-blood who has gained international fame for his traditional flute music. Native American Music Award, flutist of the year, 2002. http://www.cherokeeproud.com/tommy.htm ...
| | Spicy Rizzaks Actually, No...This Is It! CD (2002)
Still Life CD music
$6.69
In 2001, a group of friends from New York City's Lower East Side got together to publish a comic book anthology called Royal Flush. Sophomoric senses of humor and artistic merit were not the only shared qualities among the friends; their mutual appreciation for musicians such as the Ramones, The Beach Boys, Eddie Cochran, Sam & Dave, The Misfits, Huey Lewis, Motorhead and the Sweet inspired them to collaborate further by forming an outlandishly original band - The Spicy Rizzaks. They debuted at the Royal Flush book release party at CBGB's in May of 2001. They've had the audience in the palms of their hands ever since. The Rizzaks consist of four core members: guitar-god Eddie Van Rizzak, bass virtuoso Boosty Rizzak, beatmaster Ringo Rizzak on drums and the dynamic and alluring Jon Bon Rizzak on vocals. The Rizzaks also sometimes perform with their top-shelf brass section, featuring Dizzy Rizzak on trumpet and Sonny Trombono-Rizzak on trombone. In the past year, The Rizzaks have laid waste to such great NYC venues as CBGB's, Brownies, Luna Lounge, the Continental, the Luxx and Arlene's ...
