 (4 Customer Reviews)
This 1975 album is one of Karen and Richard Carpenter's best. A languorous cover of The Eagles' "Desperado" and a version of the Marvelettes' classic "Please Mr. Postman" display the duo's impressive interpretive skills. But the songwriting team of Richard Carpenter and John Bettis wrote most of the album. This pairing had already proven themselves with hits like "Top of the World," "Yesterday Once More," and "Goodbye To Love." The Carpenters' most successful track on HORIZON was the enormous hit "Only Yesterday." Richard's orchestrations and arrangements here are among his best, and of course sister Karen is in excellent voice throughout, her melancholy, dusky alto sounding as pure and warm as ever.

Horizon songs
$14.65
This characteristically conceptual and adventurous album from Mike Ladd isn't exactly Negrophilia -- Petrine Archer-Straw's book that deals with Parisiens' fascination with black culture during the 1920s -- brought off the page and placed onto wax. The book is more of a jump-off point than anything else. Its ideas are referenced, examined, messed with, expanded upon, and dusted off to make natural modern-day parallels. Ladd's lyrics are only sprinkled throughout, often conjuring striking images that tie the themes of Archer-Straw's writings to the present: "Brancusi sculpting Beyoncé in gold lamé/Blonde negress"; "Boxing in Montmartre/Disco with a Hottentot"; "Every day the land we lay looks more and more like L.A./From Dakar to Harare/Bangkok to Taipei." Ladd takes greater liberties with the instrumentation, provided by key collaborator Vijay Iyer (keys), Guillermo E. Brown (drums, electronics), Bruce Grant ...

This is my first recording project, and it was made as I was thinking about and then getting ready to really make the move to move out of NYC; to extract myself physically from the East Village and Da Bronx (represent!).
