| | Madredeus Faluas Do Tejo CD Madredeus Discography of CDs
After a remix album that featured collaborations with celebrated electronica acts (including Manitoba and Telepopmusik), Portugal's Madredeus returned to a more organic sound for 2005's FALUAS DO TEJO. Here Teresa Salgueiro's high, clear voice perfectly complements the lilting music, which is steeped in delicate acoustic-guitar lines (courtesy of key members Jose Peixoto and Pedro Ayres Magalhaes) and light synthesizer textures. The opening song, "Lisboa, Rainha Do Mar," conjures up a gently swaying nautical atmosphere, while "Fado Das Duvidas" is a beautifully melancholy example of the traditional "fado" style. A quiet, pensive mood pervades the record, as revealed on the gorgeous, waltz-like title track and the achingly emotive "Cais Distante." Bossa nova and flamenco accents also drift through on occasion, making this an album that can't be pigeonholed by one Latin style. For a wonderful example of roots-minded Portuguese music with a subtle modern flair, Madredeus's FALUAS DO TEJO is ideal.
Madredeus: Teresa Salgueiro (vocals); José Peixoto, Pedro Ayres Magalhaes (guitar); Carlos Maria Trindade (synthesizer); Fernando Judice (acoustic bass guitar).

Purchase Faluas Do Tejo CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | David Guetta One Love CD (2009)
Faluas Do Tejo album
 $11.99    
The title One Love is not only a complete turnaround from David Guetta's usual credo, radio show moniker, and mix album title F*** ME, I'M FAMOUS!, it's also a misrepresentation if meant to infer "unity." This album is more a jumble of tracks than any previous releases from the house producer, with one selection, "I Gotta Feeling," officially a Black Eyed Peas song that Guetta had a hand in. Still, the strength of the material is undeniable, especially the almost trance opener, "When Loves Takes Over," which steals a riff from Coldplay and adds the powerful voice of Kelly Rowland for one grand, uplifting floor-filler. The herky-jerky electro-house that's Guetta's signature is in effect on "Gettin' Over," a cut that also features the gospel-trained ...
| | Tangerine Dream White Eagle CD (1982)
Faluas Do Tejo CD music
$6.99 
Despite the pundits who insist that anything post-ZEIT is scarcely worth a listen, Tangerine Dream's later recordings for Virgin still represent the band's watershed years. WHITE EAGLE, recorded in the waning '80s, brings back to life the startling sounds that crept up in such past achievements as PHAEDRA and FORCE MAJEURE.
The 18-minute-plus "Mojave Plan" is nothing less than fascinating. Whistles erupt from the void, eventually coalescing around a slowly thumping synthesizer croak, while Christopher Franke fires up the ...

$10.69
Jars of Clay's previous studio effort, 2006's GOOD MONSTERS, saw the band focusing on its heavier side, with raging electric guitars and pounding drums to the fore. THE FALL BACK TO EARTH retains some of its predecessor's energy and drive but delves into more experimental sonic territory. Though the album features some of the Illinois-based group's sharpest and most direct pop songs, it ...

While only serious film buffs are likely to recall Hugh Hudson's role as the director of the Oscar-winning CHARIOTS OF FIRE, the Greek composer Vangelis became, and remained, a household name with his soundtrack for the 1981 film. At the time, the theme song was parodied as being excessively saccharin.
Indeed, with titles such as "Five Rings" and "100 Metres," the album wears its Olympian heart on its sleeve. Nonetheless, CHARIOTS OF FIRE is often a brooding work, and if the prevailing memory of this album is one of slow-motion runners and heady triumph, Vangelis's synthesizer work often conveys a sense of isolation and lost glory.
Vangelis is one of the most famed composers of film music, and with 1492 he adds another superior soundtrack to a discography that includes such classics as CHARIOTS OF FIRE and BLADE RUNNER. The soundtrack to a film that recounts Christopher Columbus's journey and discovery of America, 1492 has all the grandeur and scope one would associate with the film's topic. As per usual, Vangelis employs various electric and acoustic elements, including synthesizer, live orchestra, and a choir.
The results are heard to fine effect on the swelling title track, on moody pieces like "Light and Dark," and on delicately atmospheric tracks like "Deliverance." The range of ...
| | Rock On 1984 CD (1996)
Faluas Do Tejo music CDs
$8.79
Each volume of Excelsior's Rock On series provides an extremely arbitrary snapshot of the year that's being covered. Only 12 songs are on each disc, meaning that a good amount of space goes to waste, and there's little in the way of stylistic focus. Needless to say, these hastily patched-together budget-line discs shouldn't be considered suitable documentations for the years they are covering. Rock On: 1984 includes John Waite's "Missing You," Dan Hartman's "I Can Dream About You," Chaka Khan's "I Feel for You," Pat ...
