 (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 ... Full Descriptionteam 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 album
 $9.19  
Karen and Richard Carpenter's third album, released in 1970, includes two of their signature songs, Bacharach/David's "(They Long To Be) Close To You" and Paul Williams' "We've Only Just Begun," a tune originally written as a commercial jingle for California's Crocker Banks. The rest of the album continues the siblings' exquisite taste in outside material, returning to Williams for "I Kept On Loving You" and to Bacharach for the ...

The Carpenters' radio-friendly soft rock virtually defined the genre in the early 1970s, and this album--their third full-length--was the group's ace card. Following on the heels of the wildly successful CLOSE TO YOU, CARPENTERS features more breezy melodies marked by rich arrangements and beautiful lead vocals, courtesy of siblings Richard Carpenter and Karen Carpenter, respectively.
The record is most notable for two of the duo's strongest and best-loved singles. "Rainy Days and Mondays," written by soft-pop gods Paul Williams and Roger Nichols, is a bittersweet pop masterpiece fleshed out by Richard's string orchestrations ...

A SONG FOR YOU, Karen and Richard Carpenter's fourth album, is an unusual record. Alongside the usual million-selling hits, here including "Top of the World," "Hurting Each Other," "Goodbye To Love," and the film theme "Bless The Beasts And Children," A SONG FOR YOU contains a number of brief instrumentals designed to showcase Richard Carpenter's keyboard and arranging skills. Elsewhere, sibling Karen sings as beautifully as ever, and her dusky, clear alto is at its most expressive. The CD was remastered by Richard Carpenter in 1998 as part of a general overhaul of the Carpenters' A&M catalogue. A limited-edition Japanese release features ...

$6.39  
Featuring a surprisingly poignant cover photo of a suburban house--not unlike the Downey, California homestead in which Karen and Richard Carpenter grew up--NOW AND THEN is a concept album about the music that inspired Karen and Richard in their childhood. Besides the hit single "Sing" and a charming take on Hank Williams' "Jambalaya," the centerpiece of NOW AND THEN is Richard Carpenter and John Bettis' nostalgic "Yesterday Once More.
The song opens and closes a side-long medley of early-'60s pop hits that includes the Beach Boys' "Fun Fun Fun," Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," the Crystals' "Da Doo Ron Ron" and Jan and Dean's "Deadman's ...

$6.39
The album on which Chicago fully dropped its early jazz-rock roots and went strictly pop, 1973's CHICAGO VI features two of the band's finest singles, the romantic "Just You 'N' Me" and the uplifting "Feelin' Stronger Every Day," along with a solid set of album tracks. Although Robert Lamm's solo piano ballad "Critics' Choice" reveals a thin skin concerning the group's poor reviews from the hipster press, Terry Kath's "What's This World Coming To" and Lamm's dreamy "Something in This City Changes People" are nearly as strong as the big hits. Elsewhere, the country-fried "In Terms of Two" proves an interesting stylistic detour. Chicago has always been a definitive singles band, but those looking to explore their catalogue beyond the hits should check out this excellent release.

Horizon music CDs
$7.59
Digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Tom Ruff (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
Despite its rather silly sci-fi cover, 1974's THRUST is a top-tier album by composer/keyboardist Herbie Hancock. On this excellent follow-up to the legendary HEADHUNTERS, Hancock lays into some seriously deep grooves on his Fender Rhodes, and is backed by many of the same musicians from HEADHUNTERS, including bassist Paul Jackson and woodwind master Bennie Maupin.
The opening track, "Palm Grease," is a slick future-funk workout that breaks down into highly percussive passages, while "Actual Proof" ...

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!). I am partial to GARDEN RUIN, because it's just so lovely-strange; it was commissioned (to put it in its most royal terms!) by choreographers Ori Flomin and Antonio Ramos (costumes by wild man/inventor Sam Gassman)for a dance theater piece, Lost Before Found. That piece was a blast to perform! It premiered at PS 122, then we performed it at 100 Grand Street and at Joyce SoHo,NYC. HELLO MY BRAVE NEW DAY got radio play on Montreal's C-KUT and KFAI radio in Minneapolis-St. Paul. That song is inspired by my brother Chris when he was chopping wood in the field and we would sing weird call and response songs to each other to get the wood from tree to wheel barrow to fireplace. (wheel barrow - when is the last time you heard those words?!). THINKING ABOUT YOU was played at ...
