Mantasy album Product Description

Mantasy album by Michael Mayer was released Oct 23, 2012 on the Kompakt (Label) label. Released in 2004, Touch -- Michael Mayer's first production album -- was pieced together, closer to a compilation than a single statement. Mantasy music CDs Portions of it were rushed. Mantasy, made during the course of seven months, is more unified and reflects the Kompakt leader's infatuation with a broad range of film music. After the twinkling melancholia of "Sully," the album makes like the early portion of a Mayer DJ set, with alternately clumpy and jumpy rhythms -- inhibited yet somewhat cartoonish -- fostering a sense of anticipation. "Mantasy" itself, stern and chugging yet spacious, comes off like a Moroder-ik version of his 2003 single "Privat." Although it starts with the kind of chipper mallet work made for television-style "breaking news flashes," "Voigt Kampff Test" is comparatively brute, anchored in deep, rippling bass worthy of an acid house monster. Most surprising is "Rudi Was a Punk," named after Mayer's uncle; while there's some electric guitar in the mix, the track gambols along with yet more mallet work along with baritone sax-like blurts that could have been swiped from a Morphine record. ...See Full Description

Melanie Fiona
MF Life CD (2012) 4 stars

	$12.15
	$9.99

When the forlorn ballad "4 AM" started to gain airplay, in September 2011, it sounded like an answer record to any one of several songs in rotation. Here was the flip side to the boys' unapologetic pillage-and-plunder tales: the voice of a vulnerable, livid woman backed by pinging/pulsing percussion, including a brilliantly anachronistic drum'n'bass tease, with swells of synthesizers, strings, and electric guitar. The insidious effect of "4 AM" translated to a slow, steady rise; by the time The MF Life was released, in March 2012, it had finally slipped into the Top Ten of Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop chart. The song served a second purpose, as it was wholly contemporary -- quite possibly a move to airlift Melanie Fiona from the retro box. Mostly unnecessary vocal appearances from J. Cole, Nas, B.o.B, John Legend, and T-Pain suggest a marked effort to make Fiona appeal to a larger crowd, but otherwise, The MF Life has the singer refining ...

Electrifying Aretha Franklin CD (1962)

For Sale Pre-Order Now! Available: Tuesday, January 29, 2013

Arethas second album for the Columbia label, The Electrifying Aretha Franklin still found the label unsure as to how to promote the singer, although this album was a step in the right direction. Producer John Hammond created something of an intimate atmosphere in the studio, yet some of the material would appear to be better suited to the stage. Yet towering above even the mediocre material is Arethas voice, as strong ...
