Equatorial Stars Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Fripp and Eno still shine together
Robert Fripp's subtle guitar weave around Eno's shimmering loops, vibrations and buzzes. This disc is restrained and contemplative; each new listening rewards you with new layers of texture. Perhaps it's because I'm not a kid anymore but these performances seem to have more intellectual nuance and liveliness than earlier Fripp/Eno ambient works. These are two of our finest musicians at the top of their game, individually and jointly. A worthy addition to your ambient collection.

5 stars Music for complete relaxing
With Brian Eno,s soundscapes and Robert Fripp on guitar the music for relaxation is complete. Just put yourself in your favourite chair and sail away in space. 55 minutes later you will land on earth again. A perfect cd for just relaxing in the dark.

VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)

Equatorial Stars 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 ...

Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Equatorial Stars CD music

$10.15

A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune"). All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top phasing he lavishes on "You Don't Love Me." The only real disappointment here is that Stills, a far better singer than Kooper, never opens his mouth. Those familiar with the Live Adventures album these two recorded ...

Neil Young On The Beach CD (1974) Remastered

Equatorial Stars music CDs

$8.49

After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about to Rain." The set also features a trio of scathing songs--"Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"--that address issues important to Young, both social and personal. It ...

Brian Eno Here Come The Warm Jets CD (1973) Remastered

Equatorial Stars songs

$13.89

By the time Brian Eno left Roxy Music and came to record this masterpiece of a debut in 1973, he already held in his grasp the raw tools to revolutionize popular music. HERE COME THE WARM JETS is bathed in his singular pop-with-a-wink aesthetic and free-associative imagination. Whether on the four-on-the-floor pre-punk stomp of "Needles In The Camel's Eye" or the Spector/VU trad-rock-ism of "Cindy Tells Me," the album displays an unabashed love of quirky, catchy pop. Macabre lyrics often subvert the melodies, a feature fully expressed on "Baby's On Fire," where the singer's cheeky vocals exaggerate the theme's comic ambiguity. On two quite different pieces--the closing title-track and "On Some Faraway Beach"--a different side of Eno was laid bare. These mid-tempo, mostly wordless sound-paintings construct ...

Brian Eno Another Day On Earth CD (2005)

Equatorial Stars album

$14.49

ANOTHER DAY ON EARTH could not be farther from the rock world. Closer to Eno's ambient works of the '80s and '90s, it melds song form and traditional lyric-based templates with a floating, ethereal sonic palette. A couple of the tracks here feature female vocals, but most are centered around Eno's own voice, a measured, low-key, yet surprisingly poignant thing that emanates spirituality and resolve in a way that seems leagues beyond the youthful brashness of, say, TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN (BY STRATEGY). Liquid synthesizer lines drift along, occasionally intersecting ...

Equatorial Stars album

$12.95
All punk bands must grow or die, or so the story goes. Rehashing the same three chords works for a record or two (unless you're the Ramones, then it's fine) but gets tired quickly. However, the converse is also true. Change too much and the fans cry "sellout!", an unenviable situation for any band, but particularly acute for Northern Irish firebrands Stiff Little Fingers. After producing two essential studio albums and one classic live album, SLF demonstrated on GO FOR IT that they could ...
