 (16 Customer Reviews)
One of the high-water marks of progressive rock (and thus of 1970s rock in general), CLOSE TO THE EDGE found British prog godfathers Yes firing on all cylinders. Throughout their history, they've undergone numerous lineup changes, but this album featured the "classic" formation responsible for their absolute finest achievements. Here Rick Wakeman is at his Moog-goes-Baroque best behind the keyboards, Steve Howe sounds like a blues guitarist from Mars, Chris Squire delivers confoundingly contrapuntal bass lines, and Bill Bruford seemingly solves complex mathematical equations from his drum stool. The lion's share of the album is occupied by the title track, a complex piece that moves through numerous modes and moods. In latter decades, the extended song-suite has been denigrated as indicative of the worst rock pretensions, but, on CLOSE TO THE EDGE, it was a fascinating new concept, and Yes made it work more convincingly than anyone else before or since.Uncut (1/04, p.122) - 5 stars out of 5 - "CLOSE TO THE EDGE remains an untarnished pinnalce of '70s tech-flash..."
Q (Magazine) (p.120) - "Yes achieved unity here....The title track alone set the template for a strand of brainy rock music that continues through Radiohead's PARANOID ANDROID..."

Close To The Edge
 $12.59  
Black Eyed Peas, the hip-hop crossover juggernaut that propelled singer Fergie and producer Will.I.Am to superstardom, have, since 2003's ELEPHUNK, been audaciously plugging away at their bombastic but lighthearted style of rap-cum-dance pop--an effort that has translated to a run of successful chart-topping singles including "My Humps," "Pump It," and "Don't Phunk with My Heart." Eager to follow up on the platinum-selling ...

Georgia-based psychedelic rock band (calling them a metal act seems very reductive, though there's some seriously headbangable material on this disc) Baroness has made a subtle but unmistakable evolutionary leap on this, their second full-length and a clear companion piece to 2007's RED ALBUM. It's hard to say exactly what new guitarist Pete Adams ...

| | Flight Of The Conchords I Told You I Was Freaky CD (2009) Digipak
Close To The Edge
$12.44
After a glorious first season that earned the HBO show six Emmy nominations, Flight of the Conchords' second run didn't quite pack the same comedic punch. Some would say it was because the premise lost its luster, but it was mostly because the music just wasn't as strong. Most of the songs in Season One were pre-written and hashed out over years of stand-up, and for Season Two, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie were in a time crunch: forced to write a dozen or so funny songs and ten episodes from scratch. Considering the circumstances, FOTC's second Sub-Pop outing, I TOLD YOU I WAS FREAKY, has some worthwhile moments. In the R. Kelly-based "We're in Love with a Sexy Lady," Bret and Jemaine debate semantics while trying to determine if they're after the same lazy-eyed girl. "When'd you meet this lady?/Then./When?/Then./Right then?/Right ...

This masterful debut album by Laurie Z. features upbeat orchestrations, sonic excellence, and has a strong melodic flow that engages you from the first song. Wonderfully rich instrumental music composed and arranged with all the instruments performed on keyboard by Laurie Z. This captivating release is equally suited for active listening or as an enriching complement for any occasion.Classically trained from the age of 4, influenced by Beethoven, Mozart, Beatles, Alan Parsons, Elton John and Bruce Hornsby, Laurie is remembered for the memorable melodies in her compositions. REVIEWS -\"The rhythms are upbeat, the songs original, the recording rich and sensual. An enormous talent.\" ~ J. Lou, The Secret Guide To Music \"Energetic, lushly stylized synth music by a virtuoso artist with a lifetime of music to back her imagination. Her classical background is beautifully evident in \"A Reflection of Ourselves\", featuring piano keyboard interweaving with acoustic guitar rhythms. It\'s hard to tell that these are synth and not acoustic instruments. The subtle flowing beauty of Laurie\'s compositions is showcased in \"The Waterfall\" with delicate phrases, a beautiful closing to a richly satisfying album. She keeps the sound layers in a perfect balance, creating richness without chaos or loss of the integrity of each sound and rhythm... Always rich, moving, upbeat.\" ~ Acacia, Heartsong Review \"I can see why this album is among CMC\'s most popular. Laurie Z. is an artist with popular appeal, creating a tuneful blend of classical, modern jazz and new age. I listened to \"Promise to Forever\" about eight times in a row when the CD first ...

about selling your friend (for cash) [Release date 2005]:'"an ecclectic mix of hard aggressive action and musicbox charm. in an age of instant satisfaction and consumer whoring, it is all too possible to forget or even discard that which is important."'about the band -"subatomicglue creates cinematic industrial music. Dramatic like a cinematic film score, but loud and energetic like a rock concert. It's a continually evolving contradiction. The music genres represented lean to ambient techno or idm with an industrial/rock flavor varying from song to song, sometimes dipping into acidtrance or dark metal, and more recently ambient industrial or some kind of weird eclectic heavy metal mixed with minimal techno."roots -"What ...

| | Billy Band I Just Can't Believe CD (2008)
Close To The Edge
$13.89
BILLY BAND has completed his CD after a five-year journey. It all began with my New Years resolution of 2003. You see I had been writing songs for years and years. I always knew in my heart these tunes were good, real good. Anyway, I just had an overwhelming need to finally take myself out of my little music room and bring these songs out into the real world. I bought myself a new six string and started playing open mics. I did that for two years once sometimes twice a week. I started to measure my songs up against the other musicians and my confidence soared. My next move was to get a professional sounding demo made. Through some musicians, I found my way to Rubberball Productions in North Brunswick N.J. It’s a great analog studio run by owner/engineer Terry Hughes. I explained to Terry I had no band it was just me and my tunes. I wanted to make a demo that would sound like a bunch of people that were playing together forever. Terry said “no problem Bill” after 20 years in this business he had plenty of contacts. He pulled out his little black book of musicians and ...
