| | Elton John Aida CD Elton John Discography of CDs
After collaborating with Tim Rice on the enormously successful Lion King soundtrack, Elton John once again joined forces with the veteran stage lyricist on a contemporary score for Verdi's AIDA. Based on Egypt's enslavement of Nubia in the time of the Pharoahs, AIDA tells the story of ill-fated love between Prince Radames and a Nubian slave whose name graces this work. John recruited a cavalcade of musical superstars, stopping long enough to duet with Lulu ("The Messenger"), Janet Jackson ("I Know The Truth"), LeAnn Rimes ("Written In The Stars") and Heather Headley and Sherie Scott, members of the stage show ("A Step Too Far.")
Elsewhere, John and Rice wrote material that ranges from Sting's Sly & Robbie-produced reggae romp "Another Pyramid" to the rhythmically explosive teaming of Tina Turner and Angelique Kidjo on "Easy As Life." John's broad musical palette find him using Motown-flavored rhythms on Lenny Kravitz's infectious "Like Father Like Son," fusing hip-hop and gospel on Kelly Price's "The Gods Love Nubia" and giving Headley a chance to show off vocal chops on "Elaborate Lives."
Includes liner notes by Tim Rice.

East, Leland Sklar, Cornelius Mims, John Giblin, Freddie Washington (bass); Sheila E.(percussion); Peter Gabriel, Sting, Marva King (background vocals).
In the early '80s, Collins took a break from the helm of Genesis to inaugurate a solo career that abandoned his group's art-rock agenda for a mainstream pop approach. In the ensuing years, the king of Nice Guy Pop established himself as one of the world's premier top 40 balladeers, as evidenced by the wall-to-wall hits that make up the balance of this appropriately titled collection. HITS walks the listener through the smooth, well-produced Collins hits that have worked their way into the collective consciousness of radio listeners (even casual ones) over the years. There are majestic power ballads ("I Wish It Would Rain") to light-hearted, infectious pop-funk ("Sussudio") and moody atmospheric pieces ("In the Air Tonight") HITS represents the full range of material this prolific performer has turned out over the course of his wildly successful career.

| | Sarah McLachlan Mirrorball CD (1999)
Aida music CDs
$9.75  
This is an enhanced audio CD which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
MIRRORBALL was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop Album. "I Will Remember You" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. "Possession" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
"I Will Remember You won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. MIRRORBALL was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop Album. "Possession" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
Though not marketed overtly as a live album, MIRRORBALL sports periodic crowd noises along with an astonishingly clean sound. It also explores aspects of the Sarah McLachlan phenomenon--the frank, confessional singer/songwriter style of music that has made her so popular and the excess of commercialism that irritates her detractors to no end. Regarding the latter, the disc contains a CD-ROM catalogue that contains order forms for everything from CDs and videos to temporary tattoos and gift certificates for Sarah merchandise, in addition to the usual web links.
The performances on MIRRORBALL are dynamic and inspired, especially in the guitar work of David Sinclair and Sean Ashby. The percussion nicely anchors things, and McLachlan's voice soars over the proceedings. The track list includes ...

| | Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road CDs (1973) Remastered
Aida CD music
$10.45
Generally regarded as Elton John's masterpiece, GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD is a double-album (on one CD) that includes several of his signature songs alongside a sprawling array of lesser-known (but by no means lesser) tunes. The hits included "Bennie And The Jets," a funky, falsetto stomper; the Rolling Stonesy rocker "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting"; and the gorgeous title ballad. "Candle In The Wind," an elegy for Marilyn Monroe, which didn't become a certified hit until 14 years later, when John re-recorded it with the Melbourne Symphony. The fact that it wasn't released as a single at the time is testimony to the wealth of pop pleasures available here.
The swelling, synth-fueled overture of "Funeral For A Friend" gives way to one of John's toughest guitar-rockers in an 11-minute medley. "Grey Seal" is a piano showcase with a perfect verse-chorus-verse construction. The rocking "All The Girls Love Alice" is one of the era's most overt references to lesbianism, and "Harmony," the soft ballad that closes the album, may be John's grandest melody. Willfully eclectic and packed with great music, GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD bursts with the bold energy and undeniable talent that made John a superstar.
Lyricist: Bernie Taupin.

| | Billie Holiday V-Disc Recordings: A Musical Contribution By America's Best For Our Armed Forces Overse CD (1998)
Aida music CDs
$8.79
Billie Holiday's reputation as a jazz singer is such that any newly unearthed recordings are historically valuable. Her performances of nine songs for the 1940s-era V-Disc program presented here could do with more annotation (for example, when did they take place exactly?), or even any at all, and one wishes they ran longer than 30 minutes. Also, some of them sound suspiciously like previously released recordings. But Holiday nevertheless is wonderful on some of her familiar tunes, notably a medley (or is it just an odd edit?) of "Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me" and "I'll Get By" recorded live before a large, enthusiastic audience. Distributor Collectors' Choice Music notes in its catalog that Holiday is accompanied by the Louis Armstrong Orchestra on "Don't Explain," though this is not claimed on the disc itself. Actually, ...
| | Gordon Giltrap Fear Of The Dark CD (1978)
Aida songs
$18.79
Originally released in 1978, Fear Of The Dark completed the trilogy of releases that began with the Visionary album. Following on from the success of the chart single and album Perilous Journey, Gordon set out on a major tour with a full band to promote Fear Of The Dark. The tour and album reviews were very positive, admiring Gordon's dexterity in mixing folk, classical and rock styles to create a symphonic or progressive genre, creating comparisons with Mike Oldfield. LA Cooka. 2003.
Recorded at Redan Recorders, London, England between May and August 1978. Includes liner notes by Gordon Giltrap.

| | Saints Nothing Is Straight In My House CD (2005) (Import) Import; United Kingdom
Aida music CDs
$21.19
NOTHING IS STRAIGHT IN MY HOUSE, the 13 track release from seminal punk group The Saints, features 13 tracks including "Porno Movies" and "Digging A Hole."
Since 1997's Howling, Chris Bailey has been working hard to re-establish the Saints's reputation as a tough, hard-edged rock & roll band after a string of pop-oriented albums in the 1980s, and 2005's Nothing Is Straight in My House takes a further step in the right direction by pairing Bailey with one of the best guitarists in Australian rock, Marty Willson-Piper of the Church. While Nothing Is Straight in My House is a far cry from the punk-flavored assault of (I'm) Stranded, the pounding opening salvo of "Porno Movies" shows Willson-Piper knows how to confidently make with the crunch, while drummer Pete Wilkinson and bassist Caspar Wijnberg set up a menacing throb in the background. While Bailey does throw in a few mid-tempo numbers along the way, such as the folk-rock-influenced "I Couldn't Help Myself" and "Garden Dark," the good news is "Bang On," "Paint the Town Electric," and "Nylon Pirates" find the Saints rocking out with smarts, swagger, and supreme confidence, and Chris Bailey is once again producing the sort of sneering vocals that made him a contender back in the day. Bailey is also writing up to his best standard on this set, and while the overly clean production sometimes holds the band back, the fact is this album rocks, and when it comes to the Saints, that's always good news. Great ...
| | Noah Baerman Soul Force CD (2005)
Aida songs
$18.99
"Soul Force" is Noah Baerman's fourth album under his own name, and the first to feature an ensemble larger than a trio. Trombonist Robin Eubanks and saxophonists Steve Wilson, Jimmy Greene, Wayne Escoffery and Claire Daly make up the horn section. Other guests include Amanda Monaco on guitar, Warren Smith on marimba and Tigger Benford on percussion, as well as percussionist Marcos Torres, III and guitarist Rebecca Koval, two teenaged musicians making their recorded debuts. Anchoring the band and joining Noah for several trio numbers are bassist Henry Lugo and drummer Vinnie Sperrazza, the current member of Noah's trio. On "Soul Force," these accomplished musicians help Noah to pay tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life and message. The soulful, eclectic material revolves around Noah's composing and arranging." The title track, which features Wilson and Eubanks, was premiered on Noah's 2005 "Piano Jazz" broadcast with Marian McPartland and doubles as a dedication to the recently departed pianist James Williams. "Montgomery, 1956" is an ambitious and programmatic piece for a 12-piece ensemble, while both "Washington, 1963" and "Memphis, 1968" explore whisper-to-a-scream dynamic contrasts. Noah's rousing Afro-Latin arrangement of Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" (a theme song from the campaign to commemorate MLK with a national holiday) leans heavily on percussion, as does "Satyagrahi," featuring Tigger Benford's tablas. More familiar tunes include Thelonious Monk's "Justice" (sometimes known as "Evidence"), and the spirituals "This Little Light of Mine" and "(Ain't Gonna Let Nobody) Turn Me 'Round." As with the ideas and events that inspired the music, the expressive range of the music is broad, evoking delicate tenderness, gutbucket soul, unbridled passion and at times unsettling darkness. The cumulative effect is an exhilarating musical and emotional experience. ABOUT NOAH BAERMAN:Jazz ...
