 (3 Customer Reviews)
Of all the bands branded with the nebulous "post-rock" tag, England's Bark Psychosis achieved the rarest balance between group musicality and post-production programming. Recorded with a large ensemble of musicians but pieced together with a ... Full Descriptioncomputer and a sampler, HEX is a seamless tapestry--a miraculous album that never forfeits its supernatural aura to the sterility of digital design. Graham Sutton and Daniel Gish elaborate on such timeless models as A.R. Kane's 69, The Blue Nile's A WALK ACROSS THE ROOFTOPS, and Talk Talk's LAUGHING STOCK, filling HEX's wide-screen canvas with emotional song-craft and technological refinement.
HEX favors the elegant and understated, presenting an extraordinarily filmic backdrop against which piano, guitar, and vocal phrases, wisps of instrumentation, and Mark Simnett's percussive cascades fall like December snow. The secret tensions that underscore Bark Psychosis' shimmering quiescence first manifest themselves in John Ling's sinuous, dub-modulated basslines, occasionally erupting in such rapturous displays of bittersweet beauty as "A Street Scene" and "Eyes & Smiles." Other breathtaking flourishes include ribbon-fine feedback, quenching showers of vibes, and Del Crabtree's electrifying, Miles-style trumpet. Alas, even Bark Psychosis couldn't top HEX. The group disbanded, with Sutton finding fame in the drum-and-bass arena as Boymerang.
Recorded from March to November 1993.

Alternative Press (8/94, p.73) - "...too unpredictable, too unconcerned with current trends and, finally, just too good for most individuals..."
Melody Maker (2/12/94, p.30) - "...HEX is the work of a band nourished by constant evolution and is unquestionably divine....a gorgeously intense 50 minutes..."
NME (Magazine) (2/19/94, p.43) - 8 - Excellent - "...Bark Psychosis are nothing less than completely captivating....a thoroughly marvelous record...."

I REMEMBER MILES won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance.
This stunning album is Shirley Horn's loving tribute to her friend and colleague, the legendary late Miles Davis. Davis was so taken by Horn's first album EMBERS AND ASHES that he forced The Village Vanguard to let her virtually-unknown trio open for him during his 1961 run there. Their friendship and admiration for each other's music lasted ...

| | Steely Dan Royal Scam CD (1976) Remastered
Hex music CDs
$6.05 
Digitally remastered by Roger Nichols (Digital Atomics, Miami, Florida).
It was the year of America's bicentennial celebration, but on 1976's THE ROYAL SCAM, Steely Dan masterminds Fagen and Becker did not share in the exultant spirit of the times. The title track--a vision of fallen America from the point of view of immigrants--has a mock-celebratory chorus: "See the glory of the Royal Scam," which typifies SCAM's heartfelt cynicism. In their next two releases (their last), Steely Dan's sound would smoothen and incorporate less rock. This is perhaps their darkest record, and for a band known for its arch mixture of L.A. cool and ennui, that's saying something.

John Ewbank is an Australian songwriter who has performed all over the world, now lives in New York City and continues to write some of the most amazing songs that you will ever hear, in any genre. His songs range across many styles, he's never been afraid to change and to experiment. For want of any better description you could describe his stuff as very lyric oriented songs, in styles from folk and blues to country, rock and cabaret. His songs range from very straight ahead to absolute off the wall funny, he is a master story teller and wordsmith of formidable talent. His songs stack up as an amazing body of work STARK RAVING SONGS is, as the title suggests, a collection of twelve of his wildest and funniest songs. The album opens with the biting satire of 'Rally Round the Flag', a stunning roller coaster of a song, set to an up-tempo country folk rhythm. The lyrics pour out, heaping scorn and ridicule on the agenda and the motives and the underlying bombast of the foreign policies of the Bush administration.MY STINKING OLD HEART is written in the country tradition of the abandoned lover mourning his lost love, but this time with scorn and bitterness far outweighing any of the loftier sentiments. What he really misses more than anything is his pick-up truck, that his ex. drove away in!THE BALLAD OF JOHNNY HODEL is a song of praise to a contemporary songwriter who lives in New York and who writes and sounds like no other; the man, the myth, the legend. He has become such a fixture or the downtown music scene, albeit an extremely eccentric one, that others have started to take him for granted. Ewbank first met Hodel in 1980, and twenty-five years later wrote him this song. Hodel may never be famous, but in this song at least he gets some of the dues he has long deserved.MONEY: What can you say about this one? It's relentless, ominous and true without preaching.THE OLDEST ROCK AND ROLLER is God of course, and here he finally gets his due.APRES LA REVOLUTION; A light hearted tribute to the French penchant for wanting to embrace communism while remaining at heart conservative capitalists. The more you know about French culture the funnier the song, but it's so universal that it works on many levels.THE TIC TOC SONG; A brilliant firework display of word power and images.WE'RE ALL GOING TO CROAK: Another country ballad; you can eat all the greens you want, stop drinking and live the life of a saint...but still the grim reaper will reap you......MY SUV AND ME is the greatest and funniest put-down of the SUV culture ever written, period. If you hate SUVs and ...
