(82 Customer Reviews)
In 2002, the Calling came seemingly from out of nowhere to dominate the radio airwaves with its post-grunge ballad "Wherever You Will Go," helping the group's debut, CAMINO PALMERO, to become one of the best-selling albums of that year. In 2004, the Los Angeles group returned with TWO, the band whittled down to two founding members, vocalist Alex Band and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Kamin. Despite the attrition, the record continues the lush, airy, power-ballad sound the group displayed on its initial offering. Band and Kamin clearly soaked in the alternative radio sound of the 1990s, employing elements of Pearl Jam, U2, and Matchbox Twenty, while obviously also attuned to the love-song stylings of Savage Garden. Together, they craft sincere songs for those both tortured and freed by love, tunes that will undoubtedly further their already wide appeal.
The Calling: Aaron Kamin, Alex Band.
The Calling: Alex Band (vocals); Aaron Kamin (guitar).
Additional personnel: Josh Freese (drums).

I wasn't sure that these guys could top their first album "Camino Palmero" but they certainly have, or at the very least they've matched it.

'Two'- the best album ever! When 'Two' came out i bought it straight away because i loved 'The Callings'first album 'Camino Palmero'. But i have to say when i heard the tracks on 'two' i was blown away- its the best album i have ever heard with a variety of different styles of music. i don't know a single person who has listened to the album and not liked at least a few tracks.

The Best Well what can I say “The Calling” have yet again produced a true masterpiece, a new album that is even better then the first “Camino Palmero.”
The album TWO has something for everyone whatever mood you’re in, it has your rock and your romantic tunes!!!!
My favourite song from this album is “Anything” when you sit and listen to the words you can just imagine it being sung to a loved one, it’s beautiful.
And the very romantic “If only” runs a close second. Alex sings it with such passion and emotion.
It’s also got your uplifting songs, Dreaming in Red, Our Lives, Chasing the Sun.
I couldn’t recommend a better album, so if you liked their last album you will love “TWO”.

Purchase Two CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Lady Gaga Fame CD (2008)
Two album
$9.99 The times were crying out for a pop star like Lady GaGa -- a self-styled, self-made shooting star, one who mocked the tabloid digital age while still wanting to wallow in it -- and one who's smart enough to pull it all off, too. That self-awareness and satire were absent in the pop of the new millennium, where even the best of the lot operated only on one level, which may be why Lady GaGa turned into such a sensation in 2009: everybody was thirsty for music like this, music for and about their lives, both real and virtual. To a certain extent, the reaction to The Fame may have been a little too enthusiastic, with GaGa turning inescapable sometime in the summer of 2009, when she appeared on countless magazine covers while both Weezer and DAUGHTRY covered "Pokerface," the rush to attention suggesting that she was the second coming of Madonna, a comparison GaGa cheerfully courts and one that's accurate if perhaps overextended. Like the marvelous Madge, Lady GaGa ushers the underground into the mainstream -- chiefly, a dose of diluted Peaches delivered via a burbling cauldron of electro-disco -- by taming it just enough so it's given the form of pop yet remains titillating. Sure, GaGa sings of disco sticks, bluffin' with her muffin, and rough sex, but her provocation doesn't derive solely from her words: this is music that sounds thickly sexy with its stainless steel synths and dark disco rhythms. Where GaGa excels, and why she crossed over, is how she doesn't leave all this as a collection of hooks and rhythms, she shapes them into full-blown pop songs, taking the time to let the album breathe with chillout ballads and percolating new wave, like the title track that echoes Gwen Stefani in dance diva mode. But where ...
| | Doobie Brothers Captain And Me CD (1973) (Import)
Two CD music
$27.45 CAPTAIN AND ME found the Doobie Brothers boasting three strong vocalists, two expert guitarists, and a brace of rhythmic drummers, refining a sound that crossed AM pop-rock, soul-tinged R&B, country-folk, jazzy gospel, and strong musicianship. The result burst the band into national prominence. Traces of Moby Grape, whom the group adored, can be heard in their vibrant harmonies and flowing hooklines, but THE CAPTAIN AND ME showed an act of singular purpose.
The effervescent urgency propelling the percolating groover "Long Train Running" and the leaner rock of "China Grove" into the US singles charts is apparent on every selection. In addition to the band's gorgeous layered harmonies and twin guitar arpeggios, THE CAPTAIN AND ME features the band's strongest and most consistent set of songs. Patrick Simmons's mellow, country-rock numbers, such as "South City Midnight Lady" and "Clear As the Driven Snow," abut Tom Johnson's rockers, like the majestic title track. In short, this record defines the classic sound that would make the Doobie Brothers one of the most popular and commercially successful bands of the '70s, and it still stands--arguably--as their finest moment.
Boasting three strong vocalists, two expert guitarists, and a brace of rhythmic drummers, the Doobie Brothers came to national prominence in the 1970s with a sound incorporating AM pop-rock, Southern R&B, and strong musicianship. Traces of Moby Grape, whom the group adored, can be heard in their vibrant harmonies and flowing melodic hook-lines, but THE CAPTAIN & ME showed a ...

| | Corinne Bailey Rae Sea CD (2010)
Two album
$13.64 After selling four million copies of her debut album, an effort filled with her precious brand of neo-soul and the uplifting hit "Put Your Records On," singer/songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae lost her husband Jason Rae suddenly and took two years off to grieve and recover before returning with her second effort, The Sea. On the album's opener "Are You Here," lyrics like "Wait till you see those eyes" and "He'll kiss you make you feel sixteen" suggest she's just fallen in love, but the fascinating idea behind The Sea is that it never explains itself, even if there's a new richness in Rae's soft and oh-so-tender voice that suggests something has changed deep inside. As such, the song's "What's it even mean?" question could be the beginning of a love affair or a tragedy, but the following "I'd Do It All Again" is even trickier, as post-argument lyrics written before her husband's tragic loss ("You're searching for something I know/Won't make you happy") take on new meaning . Further confusing the matter, throughout the album the singer speaks of her love in the present tense. Then there are the numbers that come from left field, like the slithering, funky "The Blackest Lilly," which struts like a sexy Rolling Stones song while pulling inspiration from Philadelphia's neo-soul party, the Black Lily. It comes to a moving end with the title track, a masterful piece that looks back through generations of loss and the majestic ocean of time that "Breaks everything/Crushes everything/Cleans everything." If it all seems incongruous, so is the recovery process Rae must face, and the album's cycle of mourning, returning to work, aching, fondly reminiscing, yearning, and then back again won't be unfamiliar to anyone who has lost someone close. ...
| | David Bowie Reality Tour CDs (2004) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Canada
Two CD music
$18.05 Originally released as a home video in 2004, David Bowie's A Reality Tour saw a two-CD audio release slated for January 2010, with three previously unreleased bonus tracks -- "Fall Dogs Bombs the Moon," "Breaking Glass," "China Girl" -- adding value to those hardcore fans who already own this concert as a DVD. In either the video or audio incarnation, this November 2003 Dublin, Ireland show is an entertaining, open-hearted set, finding Bowie running through a generous selection of oldies -- both hits and album tracks, including songs written by Bowie, like "All the Young Dudes" and "Sister Midnight" -- and new songs that hold up well next to the classics. This is Bowie in his mode as a crowd-pleasing professional, playing with considerable charm and skill, offering no surprises but plenty of pleasure: it's not the first album that will come to mind when thinking of live Bowie, but as it's playing, it's hard to resist. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Covering his career splendidly and pulling out a couple surprise numbers gives the A Reality Tour DVD a set list to die for if you're a hardcore Bowie fan, but the sterile perfection of the band makes this a pass for the only curious. The sound quality is just fine, the video quality is pretty good (some of the lighting just doesn't agree with the cameras), and there's an effort to keep things interesting with video tricks and found footage (including a heartwarming bit of The Uncle Floyd Show!). Numbers that aren't official Bowie tunes like "Sister Midnight" and "All the Young Dudes" add to a well-picked ...

| | Barclay James Harvest CD (1970) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Two CD music
$10.25 This CD features the self-titled debut release from Barclay James Harvest, a British band that mixed folk, rock, progressive, and classical influences. The digitally remastered reissue features 10 bonus tracks, seven of them from unreleased BBC sessions. Tracks include "Taking Some Time On", "Mother Dear", and "Sun Will Never Shine".
Barclay James Harvest's sensibly titled debut album was one of the unsung classics of the late '60s, a post-psychedelic pop album that posits a peculiar collision between the Bee Gees' vision of classic grandeur and the heftier sounds leaking out of the rock underground. Add Norman Smith's epic production and one cannot help thinking that if the Pretty Things had ever looked elsewhere for their follow-up to S.F. Sorrow, Barclay James Harvest could have handed it to them on a plate. The opening "Taking Some Time On" is absolutely phenomenal, churning and riffing on the one hand, positively hymnal on the other -- and poised, during its chorus, to plunge into a virtual dry run for R.E.M.'s "Talk About the Weather." Elsewhere, "When the World Was Woken" is unmistakably daubed in a whiter shade of Procol Harum, while the 12-minute ...

Two album
$14.15 For their farewell to the Fat Possum label, Black Keys released the six-track EP CHULAHOMA, a tribute to the late Mississippi hill-country bluesman Junior Kimbrough. While previous Keys albums made clear the Akron, Ohio, guitar-drums duo's genuine devotion to the blues, none seemed to come from the soul quite like the brief tribute to their mentor. 2006's MAGIC POTION, however, speaks from a similar place.
While the Keys still happily evoke vintage sounds from the FM dial at nearly every turn, they've scaled things back a bit in favor of a leaner and meaner attack that places the focus squarely on Dan Auerbach's fiercely ringing guitar lines, Patrick Carney's solidly funky breaks, and the interplay between the two, which is capable of ghostly nuance one minute and sledgehammer ...
