| | Jonathan Kimball Optimisms CD Jonathan Kimball Discography of CDs
It seems Jonathan Kimball can't help but make great music. With a background of collaborating in progressive rock, roots reggae, punk, and ska bands - no one would have expected his solo masterpiece would sound so beautiful and delicate. It ranges from traditional vocal harmony-driven folk, to bluesy slide jams, to psychedelic soundscapes, topped off with jazzy horn instrumentals that fit together nicely as a debut release for this emerging alt-folk singer-songwriter. His self-produced debut solo record, which easily sounds as if it could be his 3rd, is a brilliant offering to the musical world and proves he is wise beyond his years. Aptly titled "Optimisms", one can't help but acknowledge the albums relevance to a more hopeful world under the new Obama administration, though it should be noted that it's country western glimpses would likewise be loved by any gunslingin' Bush follower.

Optimisms album
$7.59 
Widely regarded as one of the finest moments in a stellar recording career, ELI & THE THIRTEENTH CONFESSION was a bold, original amalgam of jazz, soul, folk, and rock. Nyro's freewheeling, open-ended arrangements were brought into sharp focus by her clear, gospel-derived singing and incisive, poetic lyrics. There is a strong spiritual undercurrent at work here, investing even the darker songs with a timeless, celebratory feel. A testament to Nyro's songwriting abilities, ELI contained several songs that became hits for other artists, including "Stoned Soul Picnic" and "Eli's Comin," popularized by the Fifth Dimension and Three Dog Night, ...

Becoming a mother probably had something to do with singer-songwriter Colvin's desire to record this album of Christmas tunes (she was pregnant during the sessions). Or maybe it was just career savvy; whatever the reason, Colvin temporarily ...
| | Cul De Sac Abhayamudra CDs (2004)
Optimisms music CDs
$14.69
Perhaps the only thing better than a full-fledged Can reunion is a collaboration between former Can vocalist Damo Suzuki and krautrock disciples Cul De Sac. The two-disc ABHAYAMUDRA commemorates the tour the artists embarked on together during 2002 and 2003, and features 11 extended tracks titled after the city in which they were performed and recorded. The collection is a rhythmic and sonic maelstrom: Cul De Sac's tight instrumental interplay, honed to perfection after years of playing, and spacey drones provide the perfect backdrop for Suzuki's inspired ramblings. However, when Suzuki locks into the same precise groove as the band, the results are stunning, relegating the traditional singer/band dichotomy to a more earthly realm than the one from which these performances emanate.

Although often lumped into the emo category, Mae has rarely adhered to that genre's conventions, and (M)ORNING is perhaps the furthest the bandmates have ever sounded from their Warped Tour brethren. This eight-song EP is the band's first release since losing its contract with Capitol Records, and the disc sounds more like an album than anything else, with ...
