Battle Born album Product Description
Battle Born album by Killers was released Sep 25, 2012 on the Island (Label) label. Las Vegas-based post-punk/new wave pop provocateurs the Killers took a two-year hiatus after the release of 2008's Day & Age, allowing vocalist Brandon Flowers and drummer Ronnie Vannucci the opportunity to release some long-gestating solo material, and providing the remaining members some much needed time off. Battle Born music CDs After reconvening in early 2011, the band got to work on its fourth studio album, enlisting a small army of notable producers, including Daniel Lanois, Steve Lillywhite, Damian Taylor, Stuart Price, and Brendan O'Brien. The resulting 12-track Battle Born was preceded by the predictably ambitious and soaring first single, "Runaways." Rolling Stone (p. 74) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The fourth Killers record might be their wildest neon-Springsteen fever dream yet." Entertainment Weekly (p. 137) - "BATTLE BORN is a testament to spirit and sheer will. It's an album about injecting a little majesty into the mundane and holding your head high... " -- Grade: B Billboard (p. 44) - "[T]he tone is serious and occasionally somber. Frontman Brandon Flowers grapples with nostalgic melancholia on more than a few songs..." Q (Magazine) (p. 88) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] thrilling victory of an album because at its heart it has the same great swirling mass of melancholic energy that drove their debut." Paste (magazine) - "BATTLE BORN forges deeper into their distinctive traits and away from the compromises with radio or current trends.... It's also their most consistent record since their debut... "

Mizell Brothers Mizell Vinyl LP (2005)
Any jazz purist who hovered over record bins during the '70s knows to stay away from this, as one quick glance is likely to trigger flashbacks of feeling like a vampire shoved into daylight. Some background info: Fonce Mizell established his do-it-all studio career as part of the Corporation, a Motown team that worked for the Jackson 5, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, and Edwin Starr. His brother Larry, who had recorded with him prior to the Motown gig, began working with him again -- as Sky High Productions -- on Donald Byrd's sharp left turn into funk, Black Byrd. In addition to inciting howls from purists, the session ignited Fonce and Larry's professional partnership and established their specific sound. Intricately arranged and often incorporating strings and state-of-the-art keyboards and synthesizers, their productions were supremely vibrant, funky, and slick, fusing dancefloor-friendly R&B and jazz ...
