| | Cassius 1999 CD Cassius Discography of CDs
Producers Boombass and Philippe Zdar might not be household names, but you have probably heard the work of these two Parisian geniuses without even realizing it. Combining hip-hop beats with house music production values, 1999 is an exercise in genre blurring. It's impossible to put the songs into one category, as they include everything possible, all with the avowed intention of making you move. Recorded in an unusually short period of time (three weeks), the album mixes funk-filled tracks with the energy that Philippe brought back from his storming DJ sets at Paris clubs like Respect and the South London deep-house drunkfests Basment Jaxx and Scaramanga. The album is deep with fresh, innovative yet retro-style tracks that bristle with life from the start. 1999 was built to last long past the millennium.
Parisian House
Cassius: Boombass, Philippe Zdar.
Rolling Stone (2/4/99, p.63) - "...The duo bases its music on the finely calibraged roar of house: constantly unwinding, nonstop rhythms; shiny-toned pointillist beats; and stray voices from old funk jams, cartoons and ad spots....they just keep pulling off uncanny impersonations of the funkiest little band on the planet."
Q (3/99, p.93) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...A booming bass holds together 16 seriously entertaining tracks which strut their stuff with a smirk at the disco, jack things up Detroit-style around effortlessly addictive bass lines and wig-out on 70's wah-wah..."
Mixmag (2/99, p.101) - 4 out of 5 - "...house music as it should be - funky, sexy, raw and alive, yet more proof that Paris is still burning."
Muzik (2/99, p.79) - 5 stars (out of 5) - "...Imagine the audio equivalent of gazing into the crystal ball of dance music in the year 2000, and you've got '1999'..."
CMJ (2/1/99, p.24) - "...make use of their hip-hop experiences, spicing up their cuts with bigger backbeats, fatter bass lines, funkier melodies and an overall sassier attitude than those of their contemporaries..." Cassius 1999 Songs | 1. | Cassius 1999 |

Purchase 1999 CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Tom Waits Glitter And Doom Live CDs (2009) Digipak
1999 album
 $14.38   
Glitter and Doom Live, a double-disc set, marks Tom Waits' third live effort in his nearly 40-year career, each one summing up his career to the point of its release. The first, Nighthawks at the Diner issued in 1975 on Asylum, is regarded by many as one of the greatest live albums of all time. The second was Big Time, released during his tenure at Island in 1986. The musical performances on disc one of Glitter and Doom Live were culled from Waits' historic sold-out tour of the U.S. and Europe. He compiled and sequenced the set himself, intending to make them sound like a single show. The material leans, understandably, on his recordings with the Anti label. There are stellar performances here, such as "Get Behind the Mule" from The Mule Variations, "Trampled Rose" from Real Gone, and a haunting version of Leadbelly's "Fannin ...

KC's debut album introduced to the world a group that threw various '60s genres into a blender and set the results afire with a blowtorch. One of the pioneers of the progressive rock movement that began in the late '60s and flourished in the early '70s, King Crimson was arguably the most consistently creative band in the genre. On IN THE COURT they blend wispy, Donovan-ish folk-rock with Wagnerian grandeur, mind-bending heavy rock, and even a free- jazz sensibility. Greg Lake's vocals are effectively theatrical but more restrained than in his later ELP work. Robert Fripp was just learning how to make mincemeat of a chord progression, but he's alternately lyrical and frenetic as the moment requires.
The extended jams on cuts like "Moonchild" are light-footed and inventive, ...
| | Rod Stewart Never A Dull Moment (Gold) CD (1972) Gold
1999 album
$19.10 
NEVER A DULL MOMENT picks up where EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY left off. Here we have more raucous rock & roll with healthy dollops of soul and twang thrown in for good measure. Always looking for a good songwriter to cover, Stewart's honorees here include Jimi Hendrix ("Angel"), Dylan ("Mama You Been On My Mind"), and Rod's personal hero, Sam Cooke ("Twistin' The Night Away"). Sidling up nicely next to these heartfelt interpretations are some of Stewart's finest original songs. Teaming with spiritual brother Ron Wood, Stewart offers up the cheeky "Italian Girls" and "True Blue," ...

$13.75 
At first glance, Halford's entry into the crowded holiday market looks like a parody. Heavy metal and Christmas make for strange bedfellows, and WINTER SONGS' pastoral cover art -- which depicts Rob Halford staring wistfully (with a goatee and shades) into a soft, snowy pine forest -- screams Spinal Tap. ...

Although Phil Pritchett's Tougher Than The Rest is nominally a country album, it's closer in spirit and sound to the punk-influenced "insurgent country" of the Bloodshot Records crew than to Music Row. The Austin native and his two-person backing crew the Full Band kick up a tough racket even on ballads ...
| | Mama's & The Papa's Complete Anthology CDs (2005) Germany; Box Set
1999 CD music
$68.69
For the first time - the definitive Mamas and Papas career anthology, presented in a 4CD digibook set. The anthology features all the Mamas and Papas complete studio albums - "If You Can Believe Your Eyes And Ears", " The Mamas and the Papas", "The Mamas and The Papas Deliver", "International Monterey Pop Festival" (live), "People Like Us", alongside the corresponding single releases, rare tracks and studio /rehearsal takes. Disc four is a disc of rarities & previously unissued ecordings, including live performances from US television, solo tracks from each of the band and tracks from the 'Barry McGuire with The Mamas & Papas' album, which features many early versions of tracks that would later be hits for the group in their own right. Compiled by US expert Jim Pierson and with detailed liner notes by journalist Paul Grein, this set features lavish 72 page full colour booklet with over 100 photos, previously unseen material, a full discography, track annotations and foreword from 'Mama' Michelle Phillips. The Anthology provides not only a must-have set for existing fans but a superb exploration of the bands music for those more recently drawn to their timeless blend of honeyed west-coast harmonies, fusing pop rock and folk matched by few in their wake. Island. 2004. * No US release is scheduled.
What's in a name? If you love mid-'60s folk-rockers the Mamas & the Papas, this four-volume U.K. Complete Anthology (2004) speaks for itself. The 101 selections run in excess of five hours centering on the vintage long-players If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears (1966), The Mamas & the Papas (1966), The Mamas & the Papas Deliver (1967), The Papas & the Mamas (1968), People Like Us (1971), and The Monterey International Pop Festival (1971). For many, that gracious plenty would be sufficient. But the real icing (or cake for the hardcore fan) comes in the form of the nearly 90 minutes of hard-to-find material ranging from the quartet's debut as support vocalists for Barry McGuire, to rare singles, audio from a pair of television appearances, and a bevy of post-Mamas & the Papas entries from John Phillips, Michelle Phillips, Cass Elliot, and Denny Doherty as solo artists. The contents of the first four LPs sound uniformly excellent, on par with the domestic North American All the Leaves Are Brown: The Golden Era Collection (2001) anthology. They seemingly share the same source -- an actual 45 rpm platter -- for the monaural versions of both "Words of Love" and the autobiographical "Creeque Alley." The latter title is of special mention as the original mix is conspicuously different from the more familiar one that turned up on The Mamas & the Papas Deliver. The 7" ...
