| | Mel Torme Capitol Rarities 1949-1952 CD Mel Torme Discography of CDs
Though best known as a jazz singer and balladeer, the late Mel Torme was also a songwriter, author, drummer, and actor. He recorded a massive body of work throughout his life, and not all of it is readily available. THE CAPITOL RARITIES collects singles and oddities from his tenure with Capitol Records, and is loaded with characteristically classy performances of jazz and pop songs. Tormé brought a musician's sensibility to singing. His voice could elevate the most ordinary song from acceptable to outright impressive; his velvety-smooth delivery virtually glistens with artistry.
Recording information: 12/19/1949-09/26/1952.
Arranger: Pete Rugolo.
Personnel: Mel Tormé (piano); Mary Osborne (guitar); Bunny Shawker (drums).
Liner Note Author: Will Friedwald.

New to this reissue are three remixes, two of "Positive Contact" (by industrial producer Charlie Clouser and Madric C), and one of "Turbulence." While the latter is a less invigorating LP cut, its reworking is the real bonus treat, given Mark Bell's luminary status as an original member of IDM legends LFO.
Arguably the most innovative and engaging indie hip-hop record of its era, DELTRON 3030 is like BLADE RUNNER set to beats. The core trio of Dan the Automator, Del the Funky Homosapien, and Kid Koala were the architects of an LP whose leading concept was as dense as its music was retro-futuristically engaging. DELTRON is a thesis in old-school hip-hop storytelling/beat manufacturing, cross-referenced with an intellectual sense of humor about the genre's future and a correspondingly ominous soundtrack provided by Automator.
The heir apparent to eccentric production wizard Prince Paul, Dan the Automator's left-field conceptual brilliance rapidly made him a hero to underground hip-hop fans. For the Deltron 3030 project, he teamed up with like-minded MC Del tha Funkee Homosapien and turntablist Kid Koala, both cult favorites with a similarly goofy sense of humor. Deltron 3030's self-titled debut is exactly what you might expect from such a teaming: a wildly imaginative, unabashedly geeky concept album about interplanetary rap warriors battling to restore humanity's hip-hop supremacy in a corporate-dominated dystopia (or something like that). It's difficult to follow the concept all the way through, but it hardly matters, because Deltron 3030 is some of the best work both Del and Dan have ever done. In fact, it's the Automator's most fully realized production effort to date, filled with sumptuous, ...
