| | Sufjan Stevens Illinois CD (2005)
Mandarin Movie CD music
$12.19  
Remarkably, in its intricate, gorgeously crafted surfaces, ILLINOIS lives up to its aims. In addition to its symphonic grandeur, the album also showcases Stevens's heartland folk, and some of the album's most shimmering moments are its most spare. "John Wayne Gacy, Jr.," for instance, is an absorbing narrative that features Stevens's sweet tenor couched by guitar, piano, and backing vocals. "Casimir Pulaski Day," similarly, rides a rootsy banjo and guitar groove while Stevens unfurls image-rich lyrics over a lilting melody. Witty, audacious, and moving, ILLINOIS manages to be spiritual, entertaining, and educational all at once, resulting in an utterly unique conceptual and musical statement.
The first new album since Seven Swans and the second in his 52 state series. Sufjan is one of the leading figures in the twisted folk revolution that includes Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banhart and Iron + Wine. 22 tracks, it is a breathtaking record, sure to be in all of the end of the year best of polls. ''A consistently moving, subtly beautiful experience'' -Billboard. ''A record of remarkable delicacy'' -the Guardian. ''Quietly beautiful'' -Rolling Stone. Spunk Records. 2005.
The second entry from sui generis singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens in his absurdly ambitious project to make a record for every state in America outdistances even 2003's superb GREETINGS FROM MICHIGAN in scope and beauty. A sweeping paean to the Lincoln state, ILLINOIS weaves together history, personal confession, and detail-filled scenarios ...
| | John Zorn Best Of Filmworks: 20 Years Of Soundtrack Music CD (2005)
Mandarin Movie music CDs
$13.39
John Zorn's history with film music has been a long and frequently difficult one. While the New York City-based avant-garde composer/saxophonist has created a number of cinematic scores, his artistic vision has often differed from that of the filmmakers, sometimes resulting in abandoned or rejected projects. Regardless of its actual use in finished movies, music that Zorn intended for the silver screen has reliably found its way onto his FILMWORKS series, and this excellent set cherry-picks from those collections. Although the compositions here lack the context of the full soundtracks, they are fascinating in their variety. Styles shift from Jewish klezmer tunes to percussion-based Latin pieces to delicate Eastern-inflected songs, with many of downtown NYC's finest musicians on hand, including guitarist Marc Ribot, drummer Joey Baron, and countless others. While this compilation serves as a best-of disc for Zorn's cinematic work, it also makes ...
| | CocoRosie Noah's Ark CD (2005)
Mandarin Movie songs
$12.75 
The sisters Casady set the weirdness bar awfully high on their homemade debut, LA MAISON DE MON REVE, but this inspired follow-up finds the bar ascended as the angels take it on the road, recording everywhere from barnyards to actual music studios. As usual, classically trained vocalist Sierra delivers the delirious operatic vocalizing and plays piano, dulcimer, and autoharp while Bianca coos like a 12-year old vampire Billie Holiday and makes percussive noise from computers and shakers with equal abandon.
The difference here is in the confidence, the polish, and the guest stars: Antony (of Antony & the Johnsons) singing and playing piano on the movingly transgressive "Beautiful Boyz," Devendra Banhart sampled from what sounds like an old scratchy 78 (actually a phoned-in ...

| | My Bloody Valentine Isn't Anything CD (1993)
Mandarin Movie music CDs
$7.29 
From its very first moments, My Bloody Valentine's ISN'T ANYTHING announces a musical revolution--the rough, insistent snare hits are joined by scalar bass runs, finally uniting and pausing to give way to a barely recognizable guitar swirl and up-close, unproduced vocals as a new form is born. The album's inimitable sonic collages sought to marry the brash experimentation and punk ethic of Sonic Youth with more pop-oriented production values and songcraft. Mastermind Kevin Shields's somewhat more streamlined European update on the noise-rock ethic may carry an intimidating sonic swagger, but beneath there beats the heart of a musical unit firmly grounded in pop.
The open-ended sonic stir and dreamy vocal of "Lose My Breath" create a swirling atmosphere, held aloft by a single, plodding acoustic guitar. This kaleidoscopic intensity reaches its apex in the stirring drama of "No More Sorry," a ...

Less than a year after CRUEL AND GENTLE THINGS, Charlie Sexton's first album in a decade, the lauded vocalist/guitarist treated fans to SOUTHSIDE SESSIONS, an EP of collaborations with singer-songwriter Shannon McNally. In addition to presenting reworkings of two tunes from the former album (which included guest vocals by McNally), the short-but-sweet release features the beautifully rustic "Old Cypress Tree" and a moving rendition of Townes Van Zandt's "No Place to Fall," both of which showcase ...
