Riccardo Eberspacher is an Italian composer, producer, and arranger whose music has previously appeared on some of the Buddha Bar and Chill Out compilations. Information on him is scarce, but this would seem to be his debut recording. If you've been puzzled by the term lounge music, or if you ever idly wondered whatever happened to the new age music movement, this CD will give you some meaningful answers. In short, it will tell you that the best of the much-maligned new age genre has become sophisticated, cosmopolitan, and international, and has evolved into what is now called lounge. The 16 generous tracks on Voices are creamy, elegant, and hip. They don't intrude, but they offer at least 16 different kinds of ear candy: sultry vocalists both male and female (some with ethereal electronic enhancements), singing in a variety of languages; tasty mood jazz contributions from trumpet and sax; a lovely classical cello on the opening track; and an impressive variety of sampled material -- traditional chanting, nature sounds, and some surprising guest spots by Timothy Leary and Richard Nixon, among others (fortunately, not on the same track). Eberspacher's mellow wash of synthetic strings and subtle but funky percussion backdrops provides the perfect comfy cushion for all this activity, with tinkling piano, tasty guitar licks, marimba, and even a sitar adding additional musical textures from time to time. One could quibble about a few of the vocal loops wearing out their welcome prematurely, but it would be otherwise pointless to criticize this CD, especially on the basis of its lack of depth and substance. Depth and substance are not the point. It's really all about mood, and Voices is a marvelously effective mood enhancer and reverie inducer, guaranteed to chill all but the most incorrigibly hyped-up tweaker. Favorites shouldn't really emerge on a program of this sort, where seamless continuity is a virtue, but both "Unforgettable" and "I Feel Love" include especially poignant melodies and vocal performances, while "Buana" ventures into trip-hop with some strong ethnic chanting and driving sitar riffs. The title track is also noteworthy for its spacy and thought-provoking use of historic vocal samples, including the unfortunate Mr. Nixon. No doubt about it, Eberspacher is clearly a master of the lounge genre, and this is gorgeous evidence of his abilities. ~ Bill Tilland

Beauty Is A Rare Thing: The Complete Atlantic Recordings

Ornette Coleman Beauty Is A Rare Thing: The Complete Atlantic Recordings CDs  (1993) Box Set

Voices album
CD $76.49  Audio Samples
Digitally remastered by Stephen Innocenzi (1993, Atlantic Studios, New York). All songs written by Ornette Coleman except "Embraceable You" (George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin), "Abstraction" and "Variants On A Theme Of Thelonius Monk" (Gunther Schuller). BEAUTY IS A RARE THING was nominated for Best Album Notes in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards. BEAUTY IS A RARE THING contains Ornette Coleman's entire surviving recorded output for the Atlantic label from 1959-1961 (a number of other sessions were recorded, but they were destroyed, along with countless other priceless Atlantic masters, in their infamous warehouse fire of the mid-1970s.) BEAUTY IS A RARE THING features over seven hours of music, six previously unreleased tracks, and contains a booklet of photos, a discography and contemporary commentaries by Ornette Coleman and a host of supporters and detractors. This epic 6-CD set chronicles the joy and controversy that distinguished alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman's coming out party on Atlantic Records. Coleman was a transplanted Texan, a jazzman steeped in the blues, who struggled throughout the '50s on the Los Angeles scene just to find people to play with--let alone to accept his very personal sense of pitch and ...

Michael Hedges Aerial Boundaries CD  (1985)

Voices CD music
CD $7.59  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Michael Hedges is considered by many one of the most important innovators of the acoustic guitar. His total dedication to the acoustic guitar enabled him to develop a new approach to the instrument that transcended anything done before. He could sound like two--at times even three--guitarists playing at once, and his compositions drew on a wide variety of influences, from the earthy to the academic. While he is usually associated with the new age movement that flourished in the '80s and early '90s (having recorded on the flagship Windham Hill label), the reach of his music extends far beyond the drivel that the tag suggests. AERIAL BOUNDARIES incorporates all the elements that characterize Hedges' music: astounding technique, innovative composition, and a spirit of exploration. Where many a musician with half of Hedges' ability would be prone ...
Kiva
Steve Roach Kiva CD  (1995)

Voices music CDs
CD $14.29  5 stars Audio Samples
Steve Roach rounds out the final part of this wonderful triptych, here collaborating with fellow space music maven Michael Stearns and Native American musician Ron Sunsinger. As ominous electronic spirals unwind and writhe behind the disc's eerie chants and naturally realized sounds, it derives its latent power from, and heartily champions, the desert's ceremonial legacy. All three musicians have trodden down these paths before, but, as on "Mother Ayahuasca," the addition of pulsating analog blips and mutated whistles lends just the right degree of strangeness that both contradicts ...
