 (4 Customer Reviews)
Following the release of the Talking Heads' fourth album, REMAIN IN LIGHT, the band's husband-and-wife rhythm section, drummer Chris Frantz and bassist Tina Weymouth, opted to record tracks in the Caribbean on the invitation of Islands Records ... Full Descriptionfounder Chris Blackwell, thus the Tom Tom Club was born. Joined by Talking Heads touring guitarist Adrian Belew, guitarist Monte Brown, percussionist Steven Stanley, and Weymouth's sisters, Laura and Lani, on background vocals, Frantz and Weymouth crafted a highly rhythmic, groove-laden album that incorporated world music (most obviously on the buoyant, African-tinged "L'Elephant") and hip-hop (the playful "Wordy Rappinghood," a kindred spirit to Blondie's "Rapture"). Of course, the 1981 album's most shining moment proved to be the hit single, "Genius of Love," a vibrant dance-floor classic that has been sampled ad infinitum. Issued the same year as David Byrne and Brian Eno's MY LIFE IN THE BUSH OF GHOSTS, TOM TOM CLUB was the fun and free-spirited counterpart to that experimental and cerebral outing, revealing that the Taking Heads could making fascinating music even when fragmented.

| | Rapper's Delight: The Best Of Sugarhill Gang CD (1996)
Tom Tom Club CD music
$8.09   
Contrary to popular belief, the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" was not the first rap song. For much of the world, however, it represented the first exposure to the burgeoning style, consisting of stripped-down backbeats, sampled music clips, and half-spoken/half-sung rhymed vocals from performers known as MCs. And a fine introduction it was--over the eminently danceable bass line from Chic's "Good Times," rappers Wonder Mike, Master Gee, and Big Bank Hank laid down a rotating round of infectious, witty, quick-tongued raps. The hip-hop nation was born.
Rhino's best-of compilation brings together 10 additional tracks by the Sugarhill Gang, including the hits "8th Wonder" and "Apache." Like the breakthrough single, these tunes borrowed instrumental lines from popular songs and featured ebullient, call-and-response, party-minded raps, introducing a host of catch phrases and motifs that would become common currency for the next several decades. Though the Sugarhill Gang was never as innovative as contemporaries Grandmaster Flash or Afrika Bambaataa, they nevertheless opened the floodgates to one of the most powerful and popular musical ...
| | Shirley Horn I Remember Miles CD (1998)
Tom Tom Club music CDs
$12.35
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 through the years, and Shirley Horn's 1991 recording YOU WON'T FORGET ME, was one of the last recordings Miles Davis made.
Horn selected mostly ballads from Davis' Columbia Records catalogue for her tribute because, as she explains in the liner notes, Davis liked her to sing ballads, and ballads are Horn's specialty. She can slow down time in a unique and spellbinding way. Her sultry and smoky vocals are intimate and conversational, relying on odd metered timing and silence, rather than volume, to make an emotional point.
This album's knock out punch is the epic (over 10 minutes long) "My Man's Gone Now" performed in an uncharacteristically (for Horn) abstract style with a ...
| | Earth, Wind, And Fire Essential Earth, Wind & Fire CDs (2002) Limited Edition; Remastered
Tom Tom Club songs
$16.05
Additional personnel includes: Ken Yerke, Harris Goldman (violin); Rollice Dale (viola); Dennis Karmazyn Harry Schultz (cello); Fred Jackson Jr., Herman Riley, Jerome Richardson (saxophone); Tommy Johnson (tuba); Harvey Mason, Paulinho Da Costa (percussion); Beloyd Taylor (background vocals).
Recorded between 1973 & 1983. Includes liner notes by Leo Sacks, Virginia Prescott, and William C, Rhoden.
"These songs are as close as we came to perfection," says group founder and leader Maurice White in the liner notes to THE ESSENTIAL EARTH, WIND & FIRE. Given the quality of the music in this double-disc package, it's hard to argue. Remarkable for both its commercial success and its inventive hybrid of funk, soul, jazz, and African folk music (White's kalimba is featured as a solo instrument on "Evil," for example), Earth, Wind & Fire are deservedly regarded as one of the finest ensembles of the 1970s.
A thorough retrospective of the band's evolution and multiple stylistic directions (often achieved within one song), ESSENTIAL spans from the early, earthy funk of "Mighty Mighty" to the disco-flavored "Boogie Wonderland" (with the Emotions). In between are all of the group's smash hits--the infectious "Shining Star," the feel-good "Sing a Song," their jazzy interpretation of Lennon/McCartney's "Got to Get You Into My Life," and the early '80s dance-floor favorite "Let's Groove," to name a few. Throughout, complex horn parts, ...
| | Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads CDs (1982) Bonus Tracks
Tom Tom Club album
$18.19
This live album was originally released as a double LP in 1982, when the Talking Heads were still extremely active. Twenty-two years later, the bonus-laden, two-CD reissue serves as a fascinating in-concert document of the phases the band went through during its first five years. The late-'70s tracks on the first disc show the early version of the band in all its geeky glory, mixing spastic New Wave quirkiness, funk rhythms, and art-school lyrics. It's intriguing to hear the difference between some of the songs' inception and their eventual recorded versions, such as a relatively straightforward "Electricity (Drugs)," which would turn ominous and atmospheric on FEAR OF MUSIC.
The second disc captures the expanded, early-'80s version of the band, with extra musicians and backing vocalists in tow, tackling the fugue-like art-funk masterpieces of the aforementioned album and REMAIN IN LIGHT. It's all the more impressive to hear the interlocking of the guitars, keyboards, and percussion achieved without the benefit of studio overdubbing, and ...

Welcome to the humble Bush Theatre, Nimbin —with your host for the evening, internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter Diana Anaid, showing you her credentials in survival by truly ‘Going Off’! ‘Live at the Bush Theatre’ to be released March 2007 is the latest offering from Diana Anaid who sprang into the public eye in 1997 with the blistering acoustic driven track ‘I Go Off’ which led Diana to her first round of ARIA nominations for Best Australian Debut Single and Best Australian New Talent.

One of her biggest hits, ‘Last Thing’, from her 2004 release ‘Beautiful Obscene’ saw her introduction to the US market and the response from the US was immediate, positive and popular.

Last Thing reached Number 28 on the competitive US Hot AC chart alongside established acts such as Alanis and Dido.

Its appeal was evident when it went on to become I-Tunes most downloaded song to date, with over 125,000 downloads, it rated as the 7th best pop song of the year, next to Maroon 5 and Los Lonely Boys, and Beautiful Obscene became I-Tunes 10th best album of 2004.From Diana’s self financed debut in 97 to her second release in 99 ‘I Don’t Think I’m Pregnant’ being lauded as ‘one of the best rock records of the decade’ Danny Murphy, Revolver Mag, and a further 2 ARIA nominations for Best Female Talent’ and ‘Best Independent Release’, Diana Anaid established herself locally as a force to be reckoned with. With her third album and first internationally acclaimed CD Beautiful Obscene in 04, Diana has remained an independent artist, winning fans with her "songs that cut right to the listeners soul with brave and unsparing views of everyday life (hers is a) story of affecting people with pure music rather than media gymnastics."
