Imagine a wild assortment of '60s incidental soundtrack music thrown into a stew, then played back again on somewhat more modern equipment. That's what Marden Hill did on their 1988 album Cadaquez, several years ahead of when such lounge/jazz/Morricone/surf blends started to come back into fashion. You can tick off numerous reference points as the songs fly by: ominous cool jazz spy movie themes ("Masque"), suave Euro jet set crooning ("Oh Constance"), jump'n'jive ("Robe"), the Shadows ("Anthem"), early-'60s surf stomp ("Bacchus Is Back," "Satellite"), Ennio Morricone spaghetti westerns ("The Execution of Emperor Maximillian," a very close mimic complete with gladiator chant scatting and black mass organ), after-hours cabaret ("Bar Room Fly"). It's presented as impeccably as a newly pressed suit, though the consummate skill and taste is more calculated than soulful. It must say something about the cycle of popular culture when such an avowedly retro album is itself reissued less than 15 years after its original appearance. ~ Richie Unterberger
El records is delighted to announce the re-issue of their most important original classics, 'Cadaquez' by Marden Hill is now available on compact disc and highly desirable digi-pack format for the first time. In the wake of Marden Hill followed the James Taylor Quartet, Combustible Edison and ultimately Austin Powers for whose films they really should have written the soundtrack.
Personnel: Guy Evans (drums).

| | Pink Funhouse CD (2008) Explicit
Cadaquez music CDs
$10.35
Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, are in full effect on all 12 tracks. Even though the album deals primarily with aftermath of her divorce and includes serious moments of self-confrontation like "Sober," fans needn't worry that Pink has lost any of her chutzpah.
If anything, there's an increased sense of confidence and newfound liberation on tracks like the chest-thumping "So What" and the mischievous, bouncing "Bad Influence." In softer moments, like the ballad "I Don't Believe You" and the soulful "One Wrong Foot," Pink channels her personal experience into expressions that carry no less ...

| | Nas Illmatic CD (1994)
Cadaquez album
$6.09  
Out of a seemingly endless array of hip hop albums, every now and again something fresh and powerful rises to the top of the pile. Hailing from the Queensbridge Housing Projects in Long Island City (home to Marley Marl among others), 20-year old Nasir "Nas" Jones is less concerned with being an impersonator than with being an originator, bypassing adolescent fantasies and B-boy braggadocio in favor of jazzy beats, rap noir realism and new answers to urban despair.
ILLMATIC is his story, a cautionary tale of the inner-city streets, and as Nas makes plain on his opener, "The Genesis," this is what he does, with or without a record contract, and it's going to be served up straight, no chaser. And because Nas has the courage to transcend popular trends, to separate himself from the ranks of wannabes and me-toos, he may be on the verge of inaugurating some stylistic changes of his own.
Production-wise, Nas has gathered together some of the superstars of the hip hop underground, producers the likes of Q-Tip, Pete Rock, L.E.S., DJ Premier and The Large Professor, but it is Nas's unique rhythmic cadences, his idiomatic sense of on-the-street wordplay, his disrespect for the high time and the empty rhyme that distinguishes ILLMATIC. When Nas rocks the mic, it's not a hedonist's wet dream, but a depiction of urban hope and despair, and thanks to Nas's poetic insights, he soon transports you there (in a manner seldom seen in black pop since the days of Stevie's INNERVISIONS and Marvin Gaye's ...
| | Biker Boyz CD (2003) Original Soundtrack
Cadaquez CD music
$9.35
The motorcyclists' answer to The Fast and the Furious, Biker Boyz features an appropriately testosterone- and adrenaline-driven soundtrack that focuses on hip-hop and nu-metal. Not surprisingly, most of the rap and hip-hop selections are hipper than the rock songs -- while the remix of P.O.D.'s "Boom" and Metallica's "We Did It Again" certainly bring the aggression, they're outclassed by tracks like JR Ewing's "Renegade," Swizz Beatz's "Ride Out," and Redman's "Ride." Likewise, Mos Def's "Kalifornia" and Non Phixion's "Say Goodbye to Yesterday" offer a refreshing dose of underground rap; the only track that comes close to them on the rock side is Papa Roach's "Don't Look Back." Keyshia Cole's "Get Up," and Mystic's "No Competition" further ...
| | Marian McPartland Live At Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol. 9 CD (1991)
Cadaquez music CDs
$9.65
Marian McPartland has become a jazz legend over several decades and this captivating solo concert has something for everyone. Whether it's her jaunty opener "This Time the Dream's On Me," the deliberate somber take of "Willow Weep for Me," or her thunderous performance of her "Theme From Piano Jazz" (usually heard only as an incomplete snippet on her long-running NPR series), her chops are never in question. A highlight is Duke Ellington's "Clothed Woman," a piece rarely performed even by its composer. McPartland slowly unveils its shrouds, gliding through a maze of dramatic chords, joyous stride piano and repetitious vamps with a veteran's confidence (she played it with Ellington in the audience during her long run at the Hickory House in the 1950s). ...

Cadaquez music CDs
$14.65
Hardcore hip-hop quartet the Outlawz have never compromised their sound in the interest of crossover pop success. From the beginning, they've pursued a straight-ahead gangsta style that accurately represented the gritty reality of life on the mean streets. Their second album NOVAKANE is no exception. The forceful, urgent vocal delivery, firm, unrelenting thud of the beats, and detail-oriented, unremittingly grim lyrical outlook are all crucial elements of the Outlawz sound, and are all in full effect here. Though they do occasionally pause to express their regret over the pursuit of the thug life and their longing for a life beyond the violence, these heavy-duty rappers generally immerse themselves head-to-toe in the violent world they represent. If you admired the band's debut album, NOVAKANE picks up right where that disc left off, ...
