| | John Lennon Wedding Album CD John Lennon Discography of CDs
Digitally remastered by George Marino and Rob Stevens at Sterling Sound, New York, New York.
The couple's third album in less than a year commemorated their wedding in Gibraltar on March 20, 1969. It was also the final installment of a sort of trilogy of releases which brought avant-garde music further into the mainstream than ever before (excepting "Revolution No. 9" on The Beatles' WHITE ALBUM). Their subsequent releases headed more or less into the realm of traditional song structures.
Two long pieces were originally presented as the two sides of a record (which itself came in a box with a photo of a slice of wedding cake and other enclosures). "John & Yoko" finds the couple calling out each other's name with every possible sort of emphasis. "Amsterdam" was recorded during their "Bed-In for Peace" at the Amsterdam Hilton. Recorded directly to cassette, John plays guitar and sings, Yoko sings, media and friends stop by--a true document. Two additional bonus tracks were originally found as B-sides to 45s and a third is a previously unissued version of Yoko's "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand In The Snow)."

The definitive account of the music from the original television series, Twilight Zone: The 40th Anniversary Collection offers four CDs of total immersion into most of the best and most memorable scores written for the five season run of the anthology series. Bernard Herrmann's music dominates the first disc, beginning with both the broadcast (i.e., with Serling's narration) and unedited versions of his dark, brooding main title music, and the 11 minute score for the first episode, "Where Is Everybody". As this was an intriguing but not fully realized program, the music is more inventive and memorable than the program itself -- as with other Herrmann scores, this one shows signs of his having "stolen" from himself, with several passages, between four minutes and 30 seconds and six minutes and 30 seconds, that could have come from his 1941 score for The Devil And Daniel Webster. The balance of the 75-minute first disc is filled up with Herrmann's "Outer Space Suite", an extended body of work written and recorded as "stock" music for CBS by the composer in 1957, which was quoted extensively in the run of this series. The opening prelude offers horn parts and a rhythmic underscore reminiscent of the composer's music for The Day The Earth Stood Still. Also included on this disc is Herrmann's proposed new title theme for the series -- which sound even more in debt to his music for The Day The Earth Stood Still -- which were rejected in favor of a piece by Marius Constant that became the most familiar musical cue associated with the program. Also featured is his music for the episodes "Walking Distance", "The Hitchhiker" ...

BIG BLUE BALL is an ongoing collaboration shepherded by Peter Gabriel, World Party leader Karl Wallinger, and producer Stephen Hague. The basic tracks for these 11 songs were recorded at Gabriel's Real World studios between 1991 and 1995, during week-long sessions with special guests, including Sinead O'Connor, Tim Finn, Marta Sebestyen, Papa Wemba, Jah Wobble, gospel group the Holmes Brothers, members of Living Colour, Afro Celt Sound System, and dozens of other American, European, Asian, and African musicians. Pieced together and remixed in the 13 years following the last of these sessions, BIG BLUE BALL still sounds primarily like a Gabriel and Wallinger collaboration, with those singer-songwriters' eclectic sensibilities prevailing, although the guest singers and musicians are fully represented as well. BIG BLUE BALL is available as a digital download, a standard CD, a deluxe CD with enhanced packaging, and a vinyl LP.
Big Blue Ball is more of a collective than a band, with the final project being completed well over a decade after the majority of the sessions. Back in the '90s (1991, 1992, and 1995 to be exact), Peter Gabriel and Karl Wallinger invited friends and musicians from around the world to participate in weeklong collaborative writing and recording ...
