Evocative, eclectic, intimate, and rhythmically complex, TRANSA contains everything that has made Caetano Veloso the most distinctive and, arguably, most important voice in modern Brazilian music. The record was cut in 1972, shortly after Veloso's return from political exile in England. Though the songs are not overtly political, they seem allegorical, celebratory, and plaintive at once, and point to a tension between the artist's expressive impulse and the strictures of his native country. This tension is further heightened by the presence of lyrics in both English and Portuguese.
The beautiful, desperate "You Don't Know Me" may be the world's first bilingual bossa nova/folk-punk anthem of identity. The jazzy "Nine Out of Ten" gives way to the gear-shifting "Triste Bahia," which features webs of accelerating Brazilian percussion. A spare treatment of the classic samba "Mora Na Filosofia," the cosmic ditty "Neolithic Man," and the 12-bar "Nostalgia," (ending with the wise line "That's what rock & roll is all about") close out the set. TRANSA is a jewel in Veloso's discography and a must for anyone interested in Brazilian pop--or brilliant, original pop in general.
Reissue of the 1972 recording by the master of 'Musica Popular Brasileira'. It was one of his first acts after returning from a period of political exile in the UK, featuring a track written with the help of the poet Gregorio De Mattos ('Triste Bahia') plus six more mostly sung in English.

| | Albert Ayler Spiritual Unity CD (1964)
Transa
$13.09
Recorded in New York, New York on July 10, 1964. Originally released on ESP Disc.
Like all the great free-jazz players, Albert Ayler possessed a musical intelligence that ranged far and wide. With an approach to the saxophone that reinvents its vocabulary, Ayler's playing tests the limits and possibilities of harmonic structure and tonality. His work is singular however, and markedly different from peers Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy, in that it is not primarily intellectual or willfully deconstructive. Instead, Ayler's aesthetic is almost naďve; his motifs are based on folk melodies and popular themes turned inside out with a luminous, superhuman emotion and intensity.
SPIRITUAL UNITY is Ayler's defining statement. Ayler, bassist Gary Peacock, and drummer Sunny Murray form a telepathic network of accelerating and decelerating rhythms and ideas. Ayler's voice is perfectly realized here, from the surging run of "The Wizard," to the lyrical ruminations in "Spirits," to "Ghosts," whose two variations bookend the album, musically and thematically. Ayler unleashes bird-like flurries and guttural groans deep enough to coax spirits from the ...

| | Oval Dok CD (1998)
Transa
$11.59
Oval was originally a trio concern, but the fourth Oval album finds the project solely in the hands of founder Markus Popp. DOK also sees Popp abandoning his trademark fascination with damaged CDs and instead focusing his unique digital reconstructive processes on a more limiting sound source. For DOK, a collaborative effort with Tokyo-based sound collector (and occasional labelmate) Christophe Charles, Popp procured samples from Charles' extensive archives of bell recordings. Popp fed these sounds, along with his own environmental recordings and minimal bass tones, through Oval's central software-run engine. The result is a work that is noticeably different from earlier Oval albums in feel yet every bit as extraordinary.
On "Polygon Medpack," Popp draws a scrim of naturalistic calm-- windswept and strewn with the digitized twitter of imaginary birds--from and around Charles' tolling bells. The rippling chromatic ...
| | Best Of The Chieftains CD (1992) Remastered
Transa
$7.59
Digitally remastered by David Mitson (Sony Music Studios, Los Angeles, California).
The Chieftains are the leading practitioners of traditional Irish music throughout the world, having broken down musical and cultural barriers to bring it to world audiences since the early 1960s. This BEST OF collection highlights some of their most riveting work. Whether with Paddy Moloney's virtuoso Uilleann piping, or Kevin Cunniffe's superb Gaelic singing, this ensemble has really made an impact on Ireland and the world.
Standout tracks on BEST OF include the very exciting "Boil the Breakfast Early," a reel that features a wonderful bodhran (goatskin frame drum) introduction by Cunniffe and Matt Molloy's silken flute playing. The lovely slow air "Speic Seoigheach" spotlights Moloney on tin whistle and Derek Bell on medieval harp. It's at once carefree and melancholy, conjuring romantic visions of small town life in old Eire.

| | Nouvelle Vague CD (2005)
Transa
$11.05 
At a time when seemingly every band with access to an analog synthesizer and a tube of hair gel was aping the New Wave sounds of the early 1980s, NOUVELLE VAGUE put a unique spin on the phenomenon. Their self-titled album is full of covers of classic tunes by the Cure, Modern English, Depeche Mode, et al. The striking twist, however, lies in the fact that all the songs are performed in old-school bossa nova mode, the lyrics delivered in a vintage Astrud Gilberto style. The cooing, breathy vocals and gentle acoustic guitar rhythms successfully transmogrify not only the pop-friendly confections of the aforementioned ensembles, but some edgier material as well. One hasn't truly lived until one has heard the Dead ...
