| | Panjabi Mc Beware CD Panjabi Mc Discography of CDs
 (4 Customer Reviews)
Hip-hop's Alexander the Great-style impact on music from around the world is well-documented; its inexorable beats have plowed a path through sounds of every culture. And on the surface, the debut from Coventry, England's Rajinder Rai, aka Panjabi MC, seems to offer that same imbalance, thanks in large part to its Jay-Z cameo on the massive club single "Beware of the Boys." But once you get past the Western window-dressing (and Jay-Z's presence, despite the undeniable electricity and commercial clout it adds, isn't much more than that -- his verses, which ricochet from sexed-up snake-charming stereotypes to weak antiwar whine, certainly aren't among his most memorable), you discover that it's the droning groove of bhangra, not the block-rockin' beats, supplying this project its juice. Which means that the less overt mash-ups, like "Yaaran Kollon Sikh Kuriye" and "Jogi," carry a foreign intrigue even greater than Beware's huge hit. On those songs and others, it's the familiar rhymes and rhythms that are made to fit into an alien framework of wails and chants, instead of the other way around. As an authentic antidote to hip-hop's superficial Indian infatuation, Beware is most welcome; what it augurs for future musical meetings between East and West makes it most important as well. ~ Dan LeRoy

Purchase Beware CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Beware album
 $6.39  
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features ...
| | Paul Brody Beyond Babylon CD (2004)
Beware CD music
$13.39
On his second album fronting his band Sadawi, trumpeter and composer Paul Brody continues his work in the avant-klezmer trenches, helping to drag that hundred-year-old music kicking and screaming into the 21st century. On Beyond Babylon he shows his unwillingness to be constrained by any ghetto boundaries, opening the album with an extended deconstruction of the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts" (which features a hair-raisingly skronky banjo solo by Brandon Seabrook), and making use of elements of both dub (on the contemplative and lovely "Timepeace"), and rock (note the guitar parts on "Fragment of Kafka's Friend") as well as lots and lots of modern jazz. Most of the album is thrilling; Brody's take on the David Krakauer composition "Klezmer à la Bechet" is a joyful romp in five/four meter, "Glass Dance" is a masterful chamber jazz excursion featuring guest Alan ...

Beware music CDs
 $32.19
In this dazzling epic from Akira Kurosawa, a petty thief named Kagemusha (Tatsuya Nakadai) gets saved from a death sentence because he resembles the warlord Shingen Takeda (also Nakadai). The warlord has been fighting two other leaders for control of 16th-century Japan and impersonators often take his place during battles to put him out of harm's way. Because of Kagemusha's strong physical similarities to the warlord, he's a perfect choice for a "shadow warrior." However, the arrangement suddenly changes when Shingen gets ...

Early on, critics often described Dredg as a metal group. However, the quartet has since matured into a hard-edged indie-rock ensemble that seeks diversity and refinement in its music. On CATCH WITHOUT ARMS, the band favors highly orchestrated parts, dense guitar riffs, and powerful ...

| | Deep Dish Global Underground: Moscow CDs (2001)
Beware music CDs
$21.05
This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by Deep Dish.
"Thank You (Deep Dish Vocal Remix)" won the 2002 Grammy Award For Best Remixed Recording.
Incredibly nocturnal and hypnotic, propelled from the beginning of the first set to the end of the second with gigantic basslines and murky vocal dubs, Deep Dish's debut mix for the long-running Global Underground series is absolutely enveloping. It submerses you with its weight and its darkness as well as its numbing sense of bliss. Where much of progressive house around the time of this album's release in late 2001 had become too melancholic and weighed down for its own good, feeling more like a come-down than a sensual rush, Dubfire and Sharam don't fall victim to these tendencies on Global Underground: Moscow like they had a few months earlier on their lumbering Yoshiesque, Vol. 2 mix. First of all, they drop plenty of vocal tracks. These aren't your traditional vocal house tracks, but rather the sort of vocal dubs that bury the often muted and stoned-sounding vocals in the music rather than overwhelm you with singsong excess. Secondly, they drop the right tracks at the right times, namely surefire tracks like their own remixes of Dido's "Thank You" and iio's "Rapture" along with other similar tracks like Sander Kleinenberg's remix of PMT's "Deeper Water" and 16b's remix of John Creamer & Stephane K.'s "I Wish You Were Here." These tracks were some of the year's best progressive house productions and all feature the same sort of sexy vocals that the duo litter throughout this mix. In fact, you can't help but keep coming back to the vocals that seem to fade in and out of the mix every few minutes, never too upfront in the mix, always fading out before you've had enough. Dubfire and Sharam obviously recognize the Global Underground series' reputation and have put meticulous care into this mix, which they not only mixed but also "edited and tweaked" at their studio with the assistance of Richard Morel, according to the liner notes. And this isn't surprising given this mix's almost overdone feeling of craft. DJ mixes aren't supposed to sound this seamless or this glossy, but you really can't complain when the ...

Beware songs
$15.89
This best-of contains most of the anthems you'll be familiar with from Monday night football and various other armchair sports-related activities--such rabble rousers as the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" and Gary Glitter's "Rock N' Roll Part 2" are the staples of the modern athletic spectator's musical landscape. But THE ALL STAR JOCK JAMS has more to offer than mere macho fist-pumping.

If the smiling visage of smut film icon Ron Jeremy that adorns the cover of PornoSonic isn't in and of itself enough to convince you to buy the record, then you need to seriously recalibrate your value system -- the Hedgehog is a veritable trademark of quality, and one listen to this collection of vintage porn music will no doubt prove enough ...
