| | Tom & Joy Antigua CD Tom & Joy Discography of CDs
Billed in the past as Tom & Joyce, Thom Naim and Joyce Hoze go by the name Tom & Joy for their Tommy Boy debut, ANTIGUA. The French duo crafts mostly original tunes that hearken back to Brazil's bossa nova glory days (particularly to Antonio Carlos Jobim, whose "Meditation" they cover here), with lyrics in French, Portuguese, and English. This is music that evokes the sights and sounds of tropical beaches but is equally at home in a French bistro or an American café.
Tom & Joy: Thomas Naim (vocals, guitar, mini-Moog synthesizer, bass instrument); Joyce Hoze Liwer (vocals).
Recording information: Damiens Studios, Boulogne, FR.

Purchase Antigua CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Erykah Badu New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War CD (2008)
Antigua
$10.99 NEW AMERYKAH PART ONE (4TH WORLD WAR) is even more experimental and musically diverse than WORLDWIDE UNDERGROUND, with Badu and her collaborators keeping the loose, jam-oriented, soul-jazz style of the EP and adding cutting-edge hip-hop beats. Lyrically, the album is as politically themed and downbeat as the title and subtitle suggest, with songs nodding to the Nation of Islam, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, drug abuse and the failures of government, with only the affirmative "The Healer," "Telephone" (a touching tribute to the late producer J Dilla), and the sweet-natured first single, "Honey," providing respites from the darkness.
Erykah Badu's 1997 debut album BADUIZM presented a confident young R&B star in the manner of Toni Braxton or Mary J. Blige, and also connected her with underground hip-hop through her use of the Roots as her backing band on much of the record. Since then, ...
| | Donnie Darko CD (2002)
Antigua
$13.49 The Donnie Darko story....Michael Andrews knew Jim Juvonen from way back. Juvonen knew that his friend was a name to watch and was an interesting musician and writer who could bring something to the movie. Michael had co-scored the Ben Stiller movie Zero Effect with The Greyboy Allstars, and worked on the music for hip TV show Freaks And Geeks. But he had never done a score entirely on his own. In early 2000, Juvonen gave Michael a copy of the script for the as-yet-unmade Donnie Darko. As had happened across Hollywood, Michael was blown away by Richard Kelly's idea. "Everyone knew Donnie Darko was going to be a cool movie," Michael recalls. "Everyone knew it was interesting." Kelly, for his part, was aware of Michael's work with The Greyboy Allstars, a soul-jazz-funk band based in California. He also knew that Michael made music under the name Elgin Park (his nom-de-guitar in the Allstars). Michael hadn't mentioned was an in-demand songwriter and producer who had worked with Brendan Benson and DJ Greyboy as well as producing both Gary Jules albums. Debutant director and debutant solo soundtrack composer decided to collaborate. Kelly gave Michael a two-and-half-hour version of Donnie Darko and Michael began writing. He wrote the opening track, Carpathian Ridge. In the completed film, this would be a jaw-dropping first moment: a lifeless body on a high, winding road, the sun coming up, keyboards delicately breaking like over the dawn landscape, fingers of piano drifting down the mountain. Magical stuff.Michael relocated from San Diego to LA to do the bulk of the work. He wanted to be close to Kelly. Nearly every night from October to December 2000, the filmmaker would come over to Michael's little home studio to brainstorm. ...
| | Tiesto Kaleidoscope CD (2009)
Antigua
$14.99 Fans of Tiesto's progressive-flavored trance anthems of the early-`00s were already well versed on the DJ-turned-producer's fondness for ethereal, siren-like vocals and epic-sized productions (best illustrated on female-fronted remixes featuring the likes of Sarah McLaughlan, Sixpence None the Richer, and Faithless). But, despite the relative pop leanings of such past collaborations, Tiesto never enjoyed major success beyond the club circuit. KALEIDOSCOPE, the producer's 2009 album, not only has its sights set on a more mainstream pop/rock appeal but--with guests spots from Bloc Party's Kele Okereke, Sigur Ros' Jonsi, and Canadian twin-songstresses Tegan and Sara--possibly beyond into indie credibility. Betraying the influence of the aforementioned Icelandic post-rockers, the album kicks off with the appropriately majestic "Kaleidoscope," a hypnotic, leisurely epic of dreamy synth pads and Jonsi's wispy falsetto. A consistent, dreamlike quality is sustained throughout, particularly on the ...
| | Lily Allen It's Not Me, It's You CD (2009)
Antigua
$13.69 On her 2009 sophomore album, IT'S NOT ME, IT'S YOU, feisty English pop singer Lily Allen sticks with the strengths of her lauded debut, presenting a collection of songs lined with biting lyrics and catchy pop hooks. While Allen tones down the heavily accented British-isms found on ALRIGHT, STILL, she amps up both atmosphere and melody, resulting in "The Fear," a sweeping synth-pop number, and the dreamy "Who'd Have Known," both of which are enhanced by producer Greg Kurstin (The Bird and the Bee). Those concerned that Ms. Allen might be getting too refined can take comfort in the sassy (and slightly twangy) "Not Fair" and the cheerily aggressive "F**k You," tracks that reveal that, although she has matured, the cheeky vocalist isn't completely ready to play nice just yet. Though artists such as ...

Antigua
$18.29 "Short Circuit" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. "One More Time" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
In 1997, this French electro-dance duo made a huge intercontinental splash with its debut album, HOMEWORK, mixing disco, house, funk, techno, and more. While Daft Punk's second recording still focuses on the maximum accessibility that earned its debut such high marks, there's less of an obvious focus on pop hooks. Irony and ...
