On his 1981 album, SEDUZIR, Brazilian performer Djavan offers up a buoyant set of Portuguese-language pop. Possessing a resonant singing voice that often recalls Stevie Wonder (see the lightly funky "Pedro Brasil" and the R&B-tinged title track), Djavan crafts bright, sunny melodies that are enhanced by rhythms from his homeland, as best revealed on the jaunty, percussive "Lunda."Down Beat - 4 Stars - Excellent Purchase Seduzir CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Elliott Smith CD (1995)
Seduzir
$12.59 Oregon-based Elliot Smith was a long shot underdog for commercial success. A decidedly grim-natured whisperer, Smith is the antithesis of Oregon's celebrated grunge scene. He eschews fuzz-laden power chords and rhythmic sludge for stark acoustics and hushed intensity. The quiet force of this release is deceptively low key. Underneath the stark and fragile ...
| | Elliott Smith Either/Or CD (1997)
Seduzir
$12.45 This singer/songwriter can say more with a whisper than most folks can with a scream. The gently insinuating despair of Smith's work communicates volumes about the heartbreak and alienation that is the bane of 20th century boys with too much time on their hands. Smith's day job fronting the aggressive post-punk band Heatmiser provides him with ...
| | Elliott Smith Xo CD (1998)
Seduzir
$11.99 The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly downcast lyrics, which cast him squarely in the Mark Eitzel/Smog camp of unrelenting self-effacement and misery. The combination of Smith's internal angst and his melodic pop constructions makes for a compelling artistic tension.
Recorded at Sunset Sound, ...
| | Elliott Smith Figure 8 CD (2000)
Seduzir
$11.99 On his first record since his Oscar nomination courtesy director Gus Van Zandt's use of his music in the film "Good Will Hunting," Elliott Smith returns with another album's worth of gorgeous misery. Like Nick Drake before him, Smith has the ability to conjure beautifully poignant pathos, wrapping it in an elaborately arranged package worthy of a George Martin or Brian Wilson. Working with Beck/Foo Fighters producer Rob Schnapf, Smith uses Abbey Road Studios for some of these sessions, dressing up his tortured lyrics with orchestral arrangements that avoid any hint of mawkishness.
Whether mourning a busted-up romance in "Everything Reminds Me Of Her," shying away from love on "In the Lost and Found (Honky Bach)," or burrowing into their own isolation with "Can't Make A Sound," Smith's angelic vocals and harmonies recall CSN before their creative meter ran out. ...
| | Elliott Smith From A Basement On The Hill CD (2004)
Seduzir
$14.49 Conceived as an ambitious double album, FROM A BASEMENT ON THE HILL was ultimately narrowed down to 15 tracks by Smith's close friends, producer Rob Schnapf (Beck's MELLOW GOLD, Smith's X/O) and musician Joanna Bolme (the Minders, Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks). The result is a heartbreaking collection of songs that plays like a retrospective of Smith's entire career. "Strung Out Again" reflects the early edge of ROMAN CANDLE; "Last Hour" recalls the bittersweet melodies of ELLIOTT SMITH; "A Fond Farewell" is a sad anthem in the tradition of EITHER/OR; "Shooting Star" employs the more polished sound of X/O; and "Don't Go Down" is an extension of the more electrified FIGURE 8. Of course, the most haunting aspect of FROM A BASEMENT ON THE HILL is the lyrical content, which is impossible to hear without placing it in the context of Smith's untimely passing.
Elliott Smith's death in 2003 left a cavernous hole in the world of popular music. ...

| | Do Or Die D.O.D (Slow) CD (2005) Chop
Seduzir
$12.39 Chicago, Illinois possesses a rich gangster history and the pimp-touting trio Do or Die has chronicled its connection to this fabled city, peppering its sound with the swirling Rap-a-Lot flavor. With its 2004 album, D.O.D., Do or Die sever ties with its label of nearly a decade and team up with its hometown's wunderkind Kanye West, among others, for the group's most colorful album yet.
Do or Die opens the record with a furious energy, an anger that hits its peak when the act lays down some ground rules on "Chain of Command." After an interlude noting Do or Die's important place in the hardcore-rap world, the threesome slow down the tempo, with singer Remy Ma dropping by for the mellow-yet-sinister "U Already Know." "Higher" thrives on its Kanye West hook, while "Magic Chick" combines R. Kelly's honeyed soul with rugged rap. Do or Die subsequently shifts from a reggae beat back to another great West ...
